Revelation 12

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

1 وَظَهَرَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ آيَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ: امْرَأَةٌ لابِسَةٌ الشَّمْسَ، وَالْقَمَرُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهَا، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهَا تَاجٌ مِنِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَجْماً.

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

2 وَكَانَتْ حُبْلَى تَصْرُخُ مِنْ أَلَمِ الْوِلادَةِ وَتَتَوَجَّعُ وَهِيَ تَلِدُ.

3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads.

3 وَظَهَرَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ آيَةٌ أُخْرَى: تِنِّينٌ عَظِيمٌ أَحْمَرُ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ، عَلَى كُلٍّ مِنْهَا تَاجٌ، وَلَهُ عَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ،

4 His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky, hurling them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, ready to devour her child as soon as she gave birth.

4 فَسَحَبَ بِذَيْلِهِ ثُلْثَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَأَلْقَاهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ. ثُمَّ وَقَفَ التِّنِّينُ أَمَامَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَهِيَ تَلِدُ، لِيَبْتَلِعَ طِفْلَهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَلِدَهُ!

5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was caught up to God and to His throne.

5 وَوَلَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ابْناً ذَكَراً، وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَحْكُمُ الأُمَمَ كُلَّهَا بِعَصاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. وَرُفِعَ الطِّفْلُ إِلَى حَضْرَةِ اللهِ وَإِلَى عَرْشِهِ.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her to be nourished for 1,260 days.

6 أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَهَرَبَتْ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، حَيْثُ أَعدَّ اللهُ لَهَا مَكَاناً تُعَالُ فِيهِ مُدَّةَ أَلْفٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ يَوْماً.

7 Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.

7 وَنَشِبَتْ حَرْبٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ، إِذْ هَاجَمَ مِيخَائِيلُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ التِّنِّينَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ،

8 But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels.

8 وَحَارَبَ التِّنِّينُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ، لَكِنَّهُمُ انْهَزَمُوا وَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُمْ مَكَانٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ،

9 And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

9 إِذْ طُرِحُوا إِلَى الأَرْضِ. هَذَا التِّنِّينُ الْعَظِيمُ هُوَ الْحَيَّةُ الْقَدِيمَةُ، وَيُسَمَّى إِبْلِيسَ وَالشَّيْطَانَ الَّذِي يُضَلِّلُ الْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ.

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

10 ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً عَالِياً فِي السَّمَاءِ يَقُولُ: «الآنَ تَمَّ خَلاصُ إِلَهِنَا، وَآلَتِ الْقُدْرَةِ وَالْمُلْكُ إِلَيْهِ وَالسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى مَسِيحِهِ! فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ طُرِحَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الْمُشْتَكِي الَّذِي يَتَّهِمُ إِخْوَتَنَا أَمَامَ إِلهِنَا لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً.

11 They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.

11 وَهُمْ قَدِ انْتَصَرُوا عَلَيْهِ بِدَمِ الْحَمَلِ وَبِالْكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي شَهِدُوا لَهَا، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ حَيَاتُهُمْ عَزِيزَةً لَدَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ مَاتُوا.

12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea; with great fury the devil has come down to you, knowing he has only a short time.”

12 افْرَحِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ، وافْرَحُوا يَا أَهْلَهَا، الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الأَرْضِ وَالْبَحْرِ، لأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ هَبَطَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهُوَ فِي شِدَّةِ الْغَضَبِ، عَالِماً أَنَّ أَيَّامَهُ صَارَتْ مَعْدُودَةً».

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

13 وَعِنْدَمَا وَجَدَ التِّنِّينُ أَنَّهُ طُرِحَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، أَخَذَ يُطَارِدُ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي وَلَدَتِ الطِّفْلَ الذَّكَرَ،

14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle to fly from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

14 فَأُعْطِيَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ جَنَاحَيِ النَّسْرِ الْعَظِيمِ، لِتَطِيرَ بِهِمَا إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الْمُجَهَّزِ لَهَا، حَيْثُ تُعَالُ بِمَأْمَنٍ مِنَ الْحَيَّةِ، مُدَّةَ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ وَنِصْفِ السَّنَةِ.

15 Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away in the torrent.

15 وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْحَيَّةُ مِنْ جَوْفِهَا خَلْفَ الْمَرْأَةِ مَا يُشْبِهُ النَّهْرَ لِتُغْرِقَهَا فِيهِ،

16 But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth to swallow up the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth.

16 وَلكِنَّ الأَرْضَ أَعَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةَ، فَفَتَحَتْ فَمَهَا وَابْتَلَعَتِ النَّهْرَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُ التِّنِّينُ مِنْ فَمِهِ!

17 And the dragon was enraged at the woman and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea.

17 فَاغْتَاظَ التِّنِّينُ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَشَنَّ حَرْباً عَلَى بَاقِي أَوْلادِهَا الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِوَصَايَا اللهِ وَعِنْدَهُمُ الشَّهَادَةُ لِيَسُوعَ.
