1 A nd there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

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

2 A nd she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

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

3 A nd there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

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

4 A nd his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

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

5 A nd she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

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

6 A nd the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

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

7 A nd there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

ثُمَّ اندَلَعَتْ حَربٌ فِي السَّماءِ. وَحارَبَ مِيخائِيلُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ التّنِّينَ، وَحارَبَهُمُ التِّنِّيْنُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ.

8 A nd prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

لَكِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَدَى التِّنِّيْنِ وَمَلائِكَتِهِ قُوَّةٌ كافِيَةٌ، فَخَسِرُوا مَكانَهُمْ فِي السَّماءِ.

9 A nd the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

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

10 A nd I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

ثُمَّ 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.

11 A nd they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

لَكِنَّهُمْ هَزَمُوهُ بِدَمِ الحَمَلِ، وَبِالشَّهادَةِ الَّتِي قَدَّمُوها، إذِ لَمْ يَهتَمُّوا بِحَياتِهِمْ حَتَّى إلَى المَوتِ.

12 T herefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

لِذا 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.»

13 A nd when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

وَعِندَما رَأى التِّنِّيْنُ أنَّهُ طُرِحَ إلَى الأرْضِ، بَدَأ باضطِهادِ المَرأةِ الَّتِي وَلَدَتِ الطِّفلَ الذَّكَرَ.

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

لَكِنَّ 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.

15 A nd the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

عِندَها سَكَبَتِ الحَيَّةُ عَلَى المَرأةِ ماءً مِنْ فَمِها كَالنَّهرِ، لِكَي يَجرِفَها النَّهرُ.

16 A nd the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

لَكِنَّ الأرْضَ ساعَدَتِ المَرأةَ، فَفَتَحَتْ فَمَها وَابتَلَعَتِ النَّهرَ الَّذِي سَكَبَهُ التِّنِّيْنُ مِنْ فَمِهِ.

17 A nd the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

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