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.
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 She was pregnant; and she is crying out in the pain and agony of childbirth.
Ia sedang mengandung dan dalam keluhan dan penderitaannya hendak melahirkan ia berteriak kesakitan.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Then a battle took place in the heavens. Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon. But though the Dragon, with his angels, fought,
Maka timbullah peperangan di sorga. Mikhael dan malaikat-malaikatnya berperang melawan naga itu, dan naga itu dibantu oleh malaikat-malaikatnya,
8 he did not prevail; and there was no place left for them any longer in the heavens.
tetapi mereka tidak dapat bertahan; mereka tidak mendapat tempat lagi di sorga.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, 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.”
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 When the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
Dan ketika naga itu sadar, bahwa ia telah dilemparkan di atas bumi, ia memburu perempuan yang melahirkan Anak laki-laki itu.
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.
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 Then the snake poured water from its mouth after the woman, like a river, so that it might sweep her away.
Lalu ular itu menyemburkan dari mulutnya air, sebesar sungai, ke arah perempuan itu, supaya ia dihanyutkan sungai itu.
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.
Tetapi bumi datang menolong perempuan itu. Ia membuka mulutnya, dan menelan sungai yang disemburkan naga itu dari mulutnya.
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;
Maka marahlah naga itu kepada perempuan itu, lalu pergi memerangi keturunannya yang lain, yang menuruti hukum-hukum Allah dan memiliki kesaksian Yesus.
