And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.
And being with child, she cried out while giving birth, and she was suffering in order to give birth.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲉϥⲧⲣⲉϣⲣⲱϣ ⲉⲩⲛⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲛⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛϭⲣⲏⲡⲉ ϩⲓϫⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ
And another sign was seen in heaven. And behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲁⲧ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲕ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲁϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲓⲥⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲥϣⲁⲛϫⲡⲉⲡⲉⲥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲟⲙϥ̅
And his tail drew down a third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman, who was about to give birth, so that, when she had brought forth, he might devour her son.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲣϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲛⲟⲩϭⲉⲣⲱⲃ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲣⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲥϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁⲡⲉϥⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ
And she brought forth a male child, who was soon to rule all the nations with an iron rod. And her son was taken up to God and to his throne.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲥⲡⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲁⲩⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲥⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛϣⲉ ⲙⲛⲥⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
And the woman fled into solitude, where a place was being held ready by God, so that they might pasture her in that place for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲩⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲙⲓⲭⲁⲏⲗ ⲙⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲙⲛⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲙⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲓϣⲉ
And there was a great battle in heaven. Michael and his Angels were battling with the dragon, and the dragon was fighting, and so were his angels.
But they did not prevail, and a place for them was no longer found in heaven.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲙⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲛⲟϭ ⲡϩⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
And he was thrown out, that great dragon, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduces the whole world. And he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲙⲛⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲭ̅ⲣ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ
And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying: “Now have arrived salvation and virtue and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, he who accused them before our God day and night.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲁϥϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of his testimony. And they loved not their own lives, even unto death.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲫⲣⲁⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛⲑⲁⲗⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛϭⲱⲛⲧ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥⲥϥ̅
Because of this, rejoice, O heavens, and all who dwell within it. Woe to the earth and to the sea! For the devil has descended to you, holding great anger, knowing that he has little time.”
And after the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth the male child.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲛ̅ϩ̅ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲉⲓⲧⲟⲥ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϩⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲥⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲛϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲛⲧⲡⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϩⲟϥ
And the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly away, into the desert, to her place, where she is being nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
And the serpent sent out from his mouth, after the woman, water like a river, so that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ̅ ⲁⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲃⲟⲏⲑⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⲁϥⲱⲙⲕ̅ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲉⲣⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲉϥⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ
But the earth assisted the woman. And the earth opened her mouth and absorbed the river, which the dragon sent out from his mouth.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ϭⲱⲛⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲉⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲡⲏ ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲓ̅ⲥ̅
And the dragon was angry at the woman. And so he went away to do battle with the remainder of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ.
