Revelation 12
1 Then a great portent was seen in the heavens – a woman whose robe was the sun, and who had the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Yon gwo sign te vin parèt nan syèl la: yon fanm abiye avèk solèy la, ak lalin nan anba pye li, e sou tèt li, yon kouwòn douz etwal.
2 She was pregnant; and she is crying out in the pain and agony of childbirth.
Li te gwo ansent e te kriye fò ak tranche ak doulè pou l akouche.
3 Another portent also was seen in the heavens There was a great red Dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.
Answit, yon lòt sign te parèt nan syèl la. Gade byen, yon gwo dragon wouj avèk sèt tèt ak dis kòn, e sou tèt li yo te gen sèt kouwòn.
4 His tail draws after it a third of the stars in the heavens, and it hurled them down on the earth. The Dragon is standing in front of the woman who is about to give birth to the child, so that he may devour it as soon as it is born.
Konsa, ke li te baleye nèt yon tyè nan zetwal nan syèl yo e te jete yo sou latè. Dragon an te kanpe devan fanm ki te prèt pou akouche a, pou lè li fè pitit la, li ta kab devore pitit li a.
5 The woman gave birth to a son, a male child, who is destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was at once caught up to God on his throne.
Konsa, li te fè yon fis, yon pitit mal, ki gen pou gouvène tout nasyon yo avèk yon baton fè. Pitit li a te rale monte kote Bondye, e anvè twòn Li an.
6 But the woman fled into the wilderness, where there is a place prepared for her by God, to be tended there for twelve hundred and sixty days.
Answit fanm nan te sove ale nan dezè a kote li te gen yon plas prepare pa Bondye, pouke la, li ta kapab nouri pandan mil-de-san-swasann jou.
7 Then a battle took place in the heavens. Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon. But though the Dragon, with his angels, fought,
Epi te gen lagè nan syèl la. Michel avèk zanj li yo t ap fè lagè avèk dragon an. Dragon an avèk zanj pa li yo t ap fè lagè.
8 he did not prevail; and there was no place left for them any longer in the heavens.
Men yo pa t reyisi genyen. Konsa, yo pa t jwenn plas ankò nan syèl la.
9 Then the great Dragon, the primeval snake, known as the “devil” and “Satan,” who deceives all the world, was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
Gran dragon an te jete anba; sèpan ansyen an ki rele dyab la ak Satan, ki twonpe tout mond lan. Li te jete anba sou latè, e zanj li yo te jete anba avèk li.
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven which said – “Now has begun the day of the salvation, and Power, and Dominion of our God, and the Rule of his Christ; for the Accuser of our people has been hurled down, he who has been accusing them before our God day and night.
Answit mwen te tande yon gwo vwa nan syèl la ki t ap di: “Koulye a delivrans lan, pwisans lan, wayòm Bondye nou an, ak otorite Kris Li a te vini an. Paske akizatè a frè nou yo jete anba; Sila ki te konn akize yo devan Bondye nou an lajounen kon lannwit lan.
11 Their victory was due to the blood of the Lamb, and to the message to which they bore their testimony. In their love of life they shrank not from death.
Yo te venk li akoz san Jèn Mouton an e akoz pawòl temwayaj yo. Konsa, yo pa t renmen lavi yo, menm fas a lanmò.
12 Therefore, be glad, heaven, and all who live in heaven! Alas for the earth and for the sea, for the devil has gone down to you in great fury, knowing that he has but little time.”
“Pou rezon sa a, rejwi nou o syèl, ak nou menm ki demere ladann yo. Malè a tè a ak lanmè a paske dyab la gen tan desann sou nou avèk gwo kòlè, akoz li konnen tan li an vrèman kout.”
13 When the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
Alò, lè dragon an te wè ke li te jete anba sou latè, li te pèsekite fanm ki te bay nesans a pitit mal la.
14 But to the woman were given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly to her place in the wilderness, where she is being tended for one year, and for two years, and for half a year in safety from the snake.
Men de zèl a gwo èg la te bay a fanm nan pou li ta kapab vole rive nan dezè a nan pwòp plas li, kote li te nouri pandan yon ti tan, tan ak mwatye tan, lib de prezans sèpan an.
15 Then the snake poured water from its mouth after the woman, like a river, so that it might sweep her away.
Konsa, sèpan an te vide yon dlo sòti nan bouch li tankou yon rivyè dèyè fanm nan, pou li ta kapab baleye l avèk lavalas dlo.
16 But Earth came to her help, and opened her mouth and drank up the river which the Dragon had poured out of its mouth.
Men tè a te ede fanm nan. Tè a te louvri bouch li e te bwè tout larivyè dlo ke dragon an te vide soti nan bouch li a.
17 The Dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to fight with the rest of her offspring – those who lay to heart the commands of God and bear their testimony to Jesus;
Donk, dragon a te vin anraje avèk fanm nan. Konsa, li te ale pou fè lagè avèk rès pitit li yo ki kenbe kòmandman Bondye yo, e ki kenbe temwayaj a Jésus a.
