1 و َظَهَرَتْ عَلامَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ فِي السَّماءِ: امْرأةٌ تَلبِسُ الشَّمسَ، وَالقَمَرُ تَحتَ قَدَمَيها، وَفَوقَ رَأسِها تاجٌ باثْنَتَي عَشرَةَ نَجمَةً.

And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;

2 ك انَتْ حُبلَى، وَصَرَخَتْ بَسَبَبِ آلامِ المَخاضِ، لِأنَّها كانَتْ عَلَى وَشْكِ الوِلادَةِ.

and she was with child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered.

3 ث ُمَّ ظَهَرَتْ عَلامَةٌ أُخْرَى فِي السَّماءِ: تِنِّينٌ ضَخمٌ أحمَرُ كَالنّارِ، لَهُ سَبعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ وَعَشْرَةُ قُرُونٍ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِ سَبعَةُ تِيجانٍ.

And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.

4 س َحَبَ ذَيلُهُ ثُلْثَ نُجُومِ السَّماءِ، وَرَمَى بِها إلَى الأرْضِ! وَقَفَ التِّنِّيْنُ أمامَ المَرأةِ الَّتِي كانَتْ عَلَى وَشَكِ الوِلادَةِ، عَلَّهُ يَتَمَكَّنُ مِنَ التِهامِ الوَلِيدِ حالَ وِلادَتِهِ.

And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.

5 ث ُمَّ وَلَدَتِ المَرأةُ ابناً، صَبِيّاً كانَ يَنبَغِي أنْ يَحكُمَ كُلَّ الأُمَمِ بِعَصاً مِنْ حَدِيدِ. لَكِنَّ طِفلَها اختُطِفَ إلَى حَيثُ اللهُ وَعَرشُهُ،

And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.

6 و َهَرَبَتِ المَرأةُ إلَى مَكانٍ أعَدَّهُ اللهُ لَها فِي البَرِّيَّةِ، حَيثُ سَيُعتَنَى بِها لِمُدَّةِ ألفٍ وَمِئَتَينِ وَسِتِّينَ يَوماً.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

7 ث ُمَّ اندَلَعَتْ حَربٌ فِي السَّماءِ. وَحارَبَ مِيخائِيلُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ التّنِّينَ، وَحارَبَهُمُ التِّنِّيْنُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ.

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;

8 ل َكِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَدَى التِّنِّيْنِ وَمَلائِكَتِهِ قُوَّةٌ كافِيَةٌ، فَخَسِرُوا مَكانَهُمْ فِي السَّماءِ.

And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 و َأُلقِيَ التِّنِّينُ الضَّخمُ إلَى الأسفَلِ، وَهُوَ تِلكَ الحَيَّةُ القَدِيمَةُ الَّتِي تُدعَى إبلِيسَ أوِ الشَّيطانَ، وَالَّتِي تُضَلِّلُ كُلَّ ساكِنِي الأرْضِ. سَقَطَ هُوَ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ مَعَهُ.

And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

10 ث ُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوتاً عالِياً فِي السَّماءِ يَقُولُ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ لَحظَةُ انتِصارِ إلَهِنا وَقُوَّتِهِ وَمُلكِهِ، وَها مَسِيحُهُ قَدْ أظهَرَ سَلطانَهُ! لِأنَّ الَّذِي اتَّهَمَ إخْوَتَنا قَدْ سَقَطَ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي كانَ يَتَّهِمُهُمْ أمامَ إلَهِنا لَيلَ نَهارَ.

And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.

11 ل َكِنَّهُمْ هَزَمُوهُ بِدَمِ الحَمَلِ، وَبِالشَّهادَةِ الَّتِي قَدَّمُوها، إذِ لَمْ يَهتَمُّوا بِحَياتِهِمْ حَتَّى إلَى المَوتِ.

And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.

12 ل ِذا افرَحِي أيَّتُها السَّماواتُ، وَأنتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَعِيشُونَ فِيها. لَكِنْ يا لِهَولِ ما سَيَحْدُثُ لِلأرْضِ وَلِلبَحرِ، لِأنَّ الشَّيطانَ قَدْ نَزَلَ إلَيكُمْ! إنَّهُ مَملُوءٌ بِالغَضَبِ، فَهوَ يَعلَمُ أنَّهُ لَمْ يَبقَ لَهُ إلّا وَقتٌ قَلِيلٌ.»

Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

13 و َعِندَما رَأى التِّنِّيْنُ أنَّهُ طُرِحَ إلَى الأرْضِ، بَدَأ باضطِهادِ المَرأةِ الَّتِي وَلَدَتِ الطِّفلَ الذَّكَرَ.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child.

14 ل َكِنَّ المَرأةَ كانَتْ قَدْ مُنِحَتْ جَناحَيْ نَسرٍ عَظِيمٍ، حَتَّى تُحَلِّقَ بَعِيداً إلَى البَرّيَّةِ، إلَى المَكانِ المُعَدِّ لَها، حَيثُ سَتُعالُ لِمُدَّةِ ثَلاثِ سَنَواتٍ وَنِصفٍ بَعِيداً عَنِ الحَيَّةِ.

And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 ع ِندَها سَكَبَتِ الحَيَّةُ عَلَى المَرأةِ ماءً مِنْ فَمِها كَالنَّهرِ، لِكَي يَجرِفَها النَّهرُ.

And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.

16 ل َكِنَّ الأرْضَ ساعَدَتِ المَرأةَ، فَفَتَحَتْ فَمَها وَابتَلَعَتِ النَّهرَ الَّذِي سَكَبَهُ التِّنِّيْنُ مِنْ فَمِهِ.

And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17 ف اشتَعَلَ غَضَبُ التِّنِّينِ عَلَى المَرأةِ، وَذَهَبَ لِيُحارِبَ بَقِيَّةَ نَسلِها الَّذِينَ يَحفَظونَ وَصايا اللهِ، وَيَشهَدُونَ عَنْ يَسُوعَ.

And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
