Revelation 12
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:
Maka tampaklah suatu tanda besar di langit: Seorang perempuan berselubungkan matahari, dengan bulan di bawah kakinya dan sebuah mahkota dari dua belas bintang di atas kepalanya.
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Ia sedang mengandung dan dalam keluhan dan penderitaannya hendak melahirkan ia berteriak kesakitan.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads.
Maka tampaklah suatu tanda yang lain di langit; dan lihatlah, seekor naga merah padam yang besar, berkepala tujuh dan bertanduk sepuluh, dan di atas kepalanya ada tujuh mahkota.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Dan ekornya menyeret sepertiga dari bintang-bintang di langit dan melemparkannya ke atas bumi. Dan naga itu berdiri di hadapan perempuan yang hendak melahirkan itu, untuk menelan Anaknya, segera sesudah perempuan itu melahirkan-Nya.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
Maka ia melahirkan seorang Anak laki-laki, yang akan menggembalakan semua bangsa dengan gada besi; tiba-tiba Anaknya itu dirampas dan dibawa lari kepada Allah dan ke takhta-Nya.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and three score days.
Perempuan itu lari ke padang gurun, di mana telah disediakan suatu tempat baginya oleh Allah, supaya ia dipelihara di situ seribu dua ratus enam puluh hari lamanya.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Maka timbullah peperangan di sorga. Mikhael dan malaikat-malaikatnya berperang melawan naga itu, dan naga itu dibantu oleh malaikat-malaikatnya,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
tetapi mereka tidak dapat bertahan; mereka tidak mendapat tempat lagi di sorga.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Dan naga besar itu, si ular tua, yang disebut Iblis atau Satan, yang menyesatkan seluruh dunia, dilemparkan ke bawah; ia dilemparkan ke bumi, bersama-sama dengan malaikat-malaikatnya.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brothers is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Dan aku mendengar suara yang nyaring di sorga berkata: "Sekarang telah tiba keselamatan dan kuasa dan pemerintahan Allah kita, dan kekuasaan Dia yang diurapi-Nya, karena telah dilemparkan ke bawah pendakwa saudara-saudara kita, yang mendakwa mereka siang dan malam di hadapan Allah kita.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death.
Dan mereka mengalahkan dia oleh darah Anak Domba, dan oleh perkataan kesaksian mereka. Karena mereka tidak mengasihi nyawa mereka sampai ke dalam maut.
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.
Karena itu bersukacitalah, hai sorga dan hai kamu sekalian yang diam di dalamnya, celakalah kamu, hai bumi dan laut! karena Iblis telah turun kepadamu, dalam geramnya yang dahsyat, karena ia tahu, bahwa waktunya sudah singkat."
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Dan ketika naga itu sadar, bahwa ia telah dilemparkan di atas bumi, ia memburu perempuan yang melahirkan Anak laki-laki itu.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Kepada perempuan itu diberikan kedua sayap dari burung nasar yang besar, supaya ia terbang ke tempatnya di padang gurun, di mana ia dipelihara jauh dari tempat ular itu selama satu masa dan dua masa dan setengah masa.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Lalu ular itu menyemburkan dari mulutnya air, sebesar sungai, ke arah perempuan itu, supaya ia dihanyutkan sungai itu.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Tetapi bumi datang menolong perempuan itu. Ia membuka mulutnya, dan menelan sungai yang disemburkan naga itu dari mulutnya.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Maka marahlah naga itu kepada perempuan itu, lalu pergi memerangi keturunannya yang lain, yang menuruti hukum-hukum Allah dan memiliki kesaksian Yesus.
