Апокалипсис 12

1 И знамение велие явися на небеси: жена облечена в солнце, и луна под ногама ея, и на главе ея венец от звезд двоюнадесяте:2 и во чреве имущи, вопиет болящи и страждущи родити.3 И явися ино знамение на небеси: и се, змий велик чермен, имея глав седмь и рогов десять, и на главах его седмь венец:4 и хобот его отторже третию часть звезд небесных и положи я в землю. И змий стояше пред женою хотящею родити, да, егда родит, снесть чадо ея.5 И роди сына мужеска, иже имать упасти вся языки жезлом железным: и восхищено бысть чадо ея к Богу и престолу его.6 А жена бежа в пустыню, идеже име место уготовано от Бога, да тамо питается дний тысящу двесте шестьдесят.7 И бысть брань на небеси: михаил и ангели его брань сотвориша со змием, и змий брася и аггели его,8 и не возмогоша, и места не обретеся им ктому на небеси.9 И вложен бысть змий великий, змий древний, нарицаемый диавол и сатана, льстяй вселенную всю, и вложен бысть на землю, и аггели его с ним низвержени быша.10 И слышах глас велий на небеси, глаголющь: ныне бысть спасение и сила и Царство Бога нашего и область Христа его, яко низложен бысть клеветник братии нашея, оклевещая их пред Богом нашим день и нощь.11 И тии победиша его кровию агнчею и словом свидетелства своего, и не возлюбиша душ своих даже до смерти.12 Сего ради веселитеся, небеса и живущии на них. Горе живущым на земли и мори, яко сниде диавол к вам, имея ярость великую, ведый, яко время мало имать.13 И егда виде змий, яко низложен бысть на землю, гоняше жену, яже роди мужеска.14 И дана быша жене два крила орла великаго, да парит в пустыню в место свое, идеже препитана бяше ту время и времен и пол времене, от лица змиина.15 И испусти змий за женою из уст своих воду яко реку, да ю в реце потопит.16 И поможе земля жене, и отверзе земля уста своя, и пожре реку, юже изведе змий от уст своих.17 И разгневася змий на жену и иде сотворити брань со оставшим семенем ея, иже соблюдают заповеди Божия и имеют свидетелство Иисус Христово.

Revelation 12

The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon

1 Thent a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.s2 Shet was pregnant and was screaming in labor pains, strugglingt to give birth.3 Thent another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadem crowns.ts4 Nowt the dragon’st tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. Thent the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.5 Sot the woman gave birth to a son, a male child,t who is going to ruletover all the nationstwith an iron rod.ts Hert child was suddenly caught up to God and to his throne,

6 and shet fled into the wildernesst where a place had been prepared for hert by God, so she could be taken care oft for 1,260 days.

War in Heaven

7 Thent war broke out in heaven: Michaels and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.8 Butt the dragon was not strong enough to prevail,t so there was no longer any place leftt in heaven for him and his angels.t9 Sot that huge dragon – the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world – was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him.

10 Thent I heard a loud voice in heaven saying,
“The salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the ruling authorityt of his Christ,t have now come,
because the accuser of our brothers and sisters,t
the one who accuses them day and nightt before our God,
has been thrown down.

11 Butt they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their livess so much that they were afraid to die.

12 Therefore you heavens rejoice, and all who reside in them!
Butt woe to the earth and the sea
because the devil has come down to you!
Het is filled with terrible anger,
for he knows that he only has a little time!”
13 Nowt when the dragon realizedt that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.14 Butt the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness,t to the place Godt prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time.ss15 Thent the serpent spouted water like a river out of his mouth after the woman in an attempt tot sweep her away by a flood,16 butt the earth came to her rescue;t the ground opened upt and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth.17 Sot the dragon became enraged at the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her children,t those who keept God’s commandments and hold tot the testimony about Jesus.t

18 And the dragont stoods on the sandt of the seashore.s
