Revelation 12
1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
tataḥ paraṁ svarge mahācitraṁ dṛṣṭaṁ yoṣidekāsīt sā parihitasūryyā candraśca tasyāścaraṇayoradho dvādaśatārāṇāṁ kirīṭañca śirasyāsīt|
2 She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.
sā garbhavatī satī prasavavedanayā vyathitārttarāvam akarot|
3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
tataḥ svarge 'param ekaṁ citraṁ dṛṣṭaṁ mahānāga eka upātiṣṭhat sa lohitavarṇastasya sapta śirāṁsi sapta śṛṅgāṇi śiraḥsu ca sapta kirīṭānyāsan|
4 His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
sa svalāṅgūlena gaganasthanakṣatrāṇāṁ tṛtīyāṁśam avamṛjya pṛthivyāṁ nyapātayat| sa eva nāgo navajātaṁ santānaṁ grasitum udyatastasyāḥ prasaviṣyamāṇāyā yoṣito 'ntike 'tiṣṭhat|
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
sā tu puṁsantānaṁ prasūtā sa eva lauhamayarājadaṇḍena sarvvajātīścārayiṣyati, kiñca tasyāḥ santāna īśvarasya samīpaṁ tadīyasiṁhāsanasya ca sannidhim uddhṛtaḥ|
6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.
sā ca yoṣit prāntaraṁ palāyitā yatastatreśvareṇa nirmmita āśrame ṣaṣṭhyadhikaśatadvayādhikasahasradināni tasyāḥ pālanena bhavitavyaṁ|
7 There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.
tataḥ paraṁ svarge saṁgrāma upāpiṣṭhat mīkhāyelastasya dūtāśca tena nāgena sahāyudhyan tathā sa nāgastasya dūtāśca saṁgrāmam akurvvan, kintu prabhavituṁ nāśaknuvan
8 They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.
yataḥ svarge teṣāṁ sthānaṁ puna rnāvidyata|
9 The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
aparaṁ sa mahānāgo 'rthato diyāvalaḥ (apavādakaḥ) śayatānaśca (vipakṣaḥ) iti nāmnā vikhyāto yaḥ purātanaḥ sarpaḥ kṛtsnaṁ naralokaṁ bhrāmayati sa pṛthivyāṁ nipātitastena sārddhaṁ tasya dūtā api tatra nipātitāḥ|
10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
tataḥ paraṁ svarge uccai rbhāṣamāṇo ravo 'yaṁ mayāśrāvi, trāṇaṁ śaktiśca rājatvamadhunaiveśvarasya naḥ| tathā tenābhiṣiktasya trātuḥ parākramo 'bhavatṁ|| yato nipātito 'smākaṁ bhrātṛṇāṁ so 'bhiyojakaḥ| yeneśvarasya naḥ sākṣāt te 'dūṣyanta divāniśaṁ||
11 They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.
meṣavatsasya raktena svasākṣyavacanena ca| te tu nirjitavantastaṁ na ca sneham akurvvata| prāṇoṣvapi svakīyeṣu maraṇasyaiva saṅkaṭe|
12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”
tasmād ānandatu svargo hṛṣyantāṁ tannivāminaḥ| hā bhūmisāgarau tāpo yuvāmevākramiṣyati| yuvayoravatīrṇo yat śaitāno 'tīva kāpanaḥ| alpo me samayo 'styetaccāpi tenāvagamyate||
13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
anantaraṁ sa nāgaḥ pṛthivyāṁ svaṁ nikṣiptaṁ vilokya tāṁ putraprasūtāṁ yoṣitam upādravat|
14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
tataḥ sā yoṣit yat svakīyaṁ prāntarasthāśramaṁ pratyutpatituṁ śaknuyāt tadarthaṁ mahākurarasya pakṣadvayaṁ tasvai dattaṁ, sā tu tatra nāgato dūre kālaikaṁ kāladvayaṁ kālārddhañca yāvat pālyate|
15 The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
kiñca sa nāgastāṁ yoṣitaṁ srotasā plāvayituṁ svamukhāt nadīvat toyāni tasyāḥ paścāt prākṣipat|
16 The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.
kintu medinī yoṣitam upakurvvatī nijavadanaṁ vyādāya nāgamukhād udgīrṇāṁ nadīm apivat|
17 The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God’s commandments and hold Jesus’ testimony.
tato nāgo yoṣite kruddhvā tadvaṁśasyāvaśiṣṭalokairarthato ya īśvarasyājñāḥ pālayanti yīśoḥ sākṣyaṁ dhārayanti ca taiḥ saha yoddhuṁ nirgatavān|
