Wahyu 12

¹Maka 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.

¹And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

²Ia sedang mengandung dan dalam keluhan dan penderitaannya hendak melahirkan ia berteriak kesakitan.

²She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth.

³Maka 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.

³And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems.

⁴Dan 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.

⁴His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it.

⁵Maka 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.

⁵She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne,

⁶Perempuan 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.

⁶and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.

⁷Maka timbullah peperangan di sorga. Mikhael dan malaikat-malaikatnya berperang melawan naga itu, dan naga itu dibantu oleh malaikat-malaikatnya,

⁷Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back,

⁸tetapi mereka tidak dapat bertahan; mereka tidak mendapat tempat lagi di sorga.

⁸but he was defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.

⁹Dan 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.

⁹And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, 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.

¹⁰Dan 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.

¹⁰And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

¹¹Dan mereka mengalahkan dia oleh darah Anak Domba, dan oleh perkataan kesaksian mereka. Karena mereka tidak mengasihi nyawa mereka sampai ke dalam maut.

¹¹And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

¹²Karena 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."

¹²Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!"

¹³Dan ketika naga itu sadar, bahwa ia telah dilemparkan di atas bumi, ia memburu perempuan yang melahirkan Anak laki-laki itu.

¹³And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

¹⁴Kepada 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.

¹⁴But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

¹⁵Lalu ular itu menyemburkan dari mulutnya air, sebesar sungai, ke arah perempuan itu, supaya ia dihanyutkan sungai itu.

¹⁵The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.

¹⁶Tetapi bumi datang menolong perempuan itu. Ia membuka mulutnya, dan menelan sungai yang disemburkan naga itu dari mulutnya.

¹⁶But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth.

¹⁷Maka marahlah naga itu kepada perempuan itu, lalu pergi memerangi keturunannya yang lain, yang menuruti hukum-hukum Allah dan memiliki kesaksian Yesus.

¹⁷Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.
