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.
I znak veliki pokaza se na nebu: žena obuèena u sunce, i mjesec pod nogama njezinijem, i na glavi njezinoj vijenac od dvanaest zvijezda.
2 She was pregnant; and she is crying out in the pain and agony of childbirth.
I bješe trudna, i vikaše od muke, i muèaše se da rodi.
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.
I pokaza se drugi znak na nebu, i gle, velika crvena aždaha, koja imaše sedam glava, i deset rogova; i na glavama njezinijem sedam kruna;
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.
I rep njezin odvuèe treæinu zvijezda nebeskijeh, i baci ih na zemlju. I aždaha stajaše pred ženom koja šæaše da se porodi, da joj proždere dijete kad rodi.
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.
I rodi muško, sina, koji æe pasti sve narode s palicom gvozdenom; i dijete njezino bi uzeto k Bogu i prijestolu njegovu.
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.
A žena uteèe u pustinju gdje imaše mjesto pripravljeno od Boga, da se onamo hrani hiljadu i dvjesta i šezdeset dana.
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,
I posta rat na nebu. Mihailo i anðeli njegovi udariše na aždahu, i bi se aždaha i anðeli njezini.
8 he did not prevail; and there was no place left for them any longer in the heavens.
I ne nadvladaše, i više im se ne naðe mjesta na nebu.
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.
I zbaèena bi aždaha velika, stara zmija, koja se zove ðavo i sotona, koji vara sav vasioni svijet, i zbaèena bi na zemlju, i anðeli njezini zbaèeni biše s njom.
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.
I èuh glas veliki na nebu koji govori: sad posta spasenije i sila i carstvo Boga našega, i oblast Hrista njegova; jer se zbaci opadaè braæe naše, koji ih opadaše pred Bogom našijem dan i noæ.
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.
I oni ga pobijediše krvlju jagnjetovom i rijeèju svjedoèanstva svojega, i ne mariše za život svoj do same smrti.
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.”
Zato veselite se nebesa i vi koji živite na njima. Teško vama koji živite na zemlji i moru, jer ðavo siðe k vama, i vrlo se rasrdio, znajuæi da vremena malo ima.
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.
I kad vidje aždaha da zbaèena bi na zemlju, gonjaše ženu koja rodi muško.
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.
I ženi dana biše dva krila orla velikoga da leti u pustinju na svoje mjesto, gdje æe se hraniti vrijeme i vremena i po vremena, sakrivena od lica zmijina.
15 Then the snake poured water from its mouth after the woman, like a river, so that it might sweep her away.
I ispusti zmija za ženom iz usta svojijeh vodu kao rijeku, da je utopi u rijeci.
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.
I pomože zemlja ženi, i otvori zemlja usta svoja, i proždrije rijeku koju ispusti zmija iz usta svojijeh.
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;
I razgnjevi se zmija na ženu, i otide da se pobije sa ostalijem sjemenom njezinijem, koje drži zapovijesti Božije i ima svjedoèanstvo Isusa Hrista.
