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.
In na nebu se je prikazalo veliko znamenje; ženska, oblečena s soncem in luna pod njenimi stopali in krona dvanajsterih zvezd na njeni glavi.
2 She was pregnant; and she is crying out in the pain and agony of childbirth.
In ona, ki je bila z otrokom, je vpila v porodnih mukah in bolečinah, da bi rodila.
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.
In na nebu se je prikazalo drugo znamenje in glej, velik rdeč zmaj, ki je imel sedem glav in deset rogov ter na njegovih glavah sedem kron.
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.
In njegov rep je potegnil z neba tretjino zvezd ter jih vrgel na zemljo in zmaj je stal pred žensko, ki je bila pripravljena, da rodi, da bi požrl njenega otroka takoj, ko bi se rodil.
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.
In rodila je fantka, ki je bil [namenjen], da vsem narodom vlada z železno palico in njen otrok je bil vzet k Bogu in k njegovemu prestolu.
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.
In ženska je pobegnila v divjino, kjer je imela prostor, pripravljen od Boga, da naj bi jo tam hranili tisoč dvesto in šestdeset dni.
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,
In bila je vojna v nebesih. Mihael in njegovi angeli so se bojevali proti zmaju in zmaj se je bojeval ter njegovi angeli,
8 he did not prevail; and there was no place left for them any longer in the heavens.
pa niso prevladali niti se na nebu zanje ni več našel prostor.
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.
In véliki zmaj je bil vržen ven, ta stara kača, imenovana hudič in Satan, ki zavaja ves svet. Izgnan je bil na zemljo in njegovi angeli so bili izgnani z njim.
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.
In na nebu sem zaslišal močan glas, rekoč: »Sedaj je prišla rešitev duš in moč in kraljestvo našega Boga in oblast njegovega Kristusa, kajti vržen je dol obtoževalec naših bratov, ki jih je dan in noč obtoževal pred našim Bogom.«
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.
In oni so ga premagali s krvjo Jagnjeta in z besedo svojega pričevanja in svojih življenj niso ljubili do 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 se veselite, ve nebesa in vi, ki prebivate v njih. Gorje prebivalcem zemlje in morja! Kajti hudič je prišel dol k vam, zelo ogorčen, ker ve, da ima le malo časa.
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.
In ko je zmaj videl, da je bil vržen na zemljo, je preganjal žensko, ki je rodila moško dete.
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.
In ženski sta bili dani dve peruti velikega orla, da bi lahko odletela v divjino, na njen kraj, kjer je bila hranjena čas in čase in polovico časa, proč od obraza kače.
15 Then the snake poured water from its mouth after the woman, like a river, so that it might sweep her away.
In kača je iz svojih ust vrgla za žensko vodo kot poplavo, da bi lahko povzročila, da jo poplava odnese.
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.
In zemlja je pomagala ženski in zemlja je odprla svoja usta ter požrla poplavo, ki jo je zmaj vrgel iz svojih ust.
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;
In zmaj je bil ogorčen proti ženski in odšel, da povzroči vojno proti preostanku njenega potomstva, ki se drži Božjih zapovedi in ima pričevanje Jezusa Kristusa.
