启示录 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
妇人与巨龙
12 在天上出现了一个奇异的景象：有一个妇人，身披太阳，脚踏月亮，头戴有十二颗星的冠冕。 2 她怀了孕，正因产痛而呼叫。
3 这时天上出现了另一个奇异的景象：有一条红色巨龙出现，它有七头十角，每个头上都戴着冠冕。 4 它的尾巴将天上三分之一的星扫落到地上。巨龙站在那正要生产的妇人面前，等着要吃掉她生下来的婴孩。 5 妇人生下一个男婴，就是将来要用铁杖治理列国的。那男婴被提到了上帝的宝座那里， 6 妇人则逃到旷野，在上帝为她预备的地方安度一千二百六十天。
7 天上起了战争，米迦勒和他的天使出战巨龙。巨龙和它的天使极力抵抗， 8 那巨龙败下阵来，天上再没有它们的立足之地， 9 它和它的天使都一同从天上被摔到地上。巨龙就是那古蛇，又名魔鬼或撒旦，也就是那迷惑全人类的。
10 我听见天上有大响声说：“我们上帝的救赎、权能、国度和祂所立的基督的权柄现在来临了。因为那昼夜不停地在我们上帝面前控告我们弟兄的，已经被摔到地上了。 11 弟兄们是靠着羔羊的血和自己所见证的道战胜了它，他们甘愿牺牲，视死如归。 12 因此，诸天和其中的居民都要欢欣雀跃！但大地和海洋有祸了，因为魔鬼知道它的时日不多了，就怒气冲冲地下到你们那里。”
13 巨龙见自己被摔到地上，就迫害那先前产下男婴的妇人。 14 但那妇人得到一对巨鹰的翅膀，使她能飞到旷野，去上帝为她预备的地方避难，在那里被照顾三年半。 15 巨龙紧追不舍，张口吐出大量的水，如同江河一般，要冲走那妇人， 16 大地却帮助她，张口吞了巨龙口中吐出来的大水。 17 巨龙大怒，转而攻击她的其他儿女，就是那些坚守上帝的诫命、为耶稣做见证的人。 18 那时巨龙站在海边的沙地上。

婦人與巨龍
12 在天上出現了一個奇異的景象：有一個婦人，身披太陽，腳踏月亮，頭戴有十二顆星的冠冕。 2 她懷了孕，正因產痛而呼叫。
3 這時天上出現了另一個奇異的景象：有一條紅色巨龍出現，牠有七頭十角，每個頭上都戴著冠冕。 4 牠的尾巴將天上三分之一的星掃落到地上。巨龍站在那正要生產的婦人面前，等著要吃掉她生下來的嬰孩。 5 婦人生下一個男嬰，就是將來要用鐵杖治理列國的。那男嬰被提到了上帝的寶座那裡， 6 婦人則逃到曠野，在上帝為她預備的地方安度一千二百六十天。
7 天上起了戰爭，米迦勒和他的天使出戰巨龍。巨龍和牠的天使極力抵抗， 8 那巨龍敗下陣來，天上再沒有牠們的立足之地， 9 牠和牠的天使都一同從天上被摔到地上。巨龍就是那古蛇，又名魔鬼或撒旦，也就是那迷惑全人類的。
10 我聽見天上有大響聲說：「我們上帝的救贖、權能、國度和祂所立的基督的權柄現在來臨了。因為那晝夜不停地在我們上帝面前控告我們弟兄的，已經被摔到地上了。 11 弟兄們是靠著羔羊的血和自己所見證的道戰勝了牠，他們甘願犧牲，視死如歸。 12 因此，諸天和其中的居民都要歡欣雀躍！但大地和海洋有禍了，因為魔鬼知道牠的時日不多了，就怒氣沖沖地下到你們那裡。」
13 巨龍見自己被摔到地上，就迫害那先前產下男嬰的婦人。 14 但那婦人得到一對巨鷹的翅膀，使她能飛到曠野，去上帝為她預備的地方避難，在那裡被照顧三年半。 15 巨龍緊追不捨，張口吐出大量的水，如同江河一般，要沖走那婦人， 16 大地卻幫助她，張口吞了巨龍口中吐出來的大水。 17 巨龍大怒，轉而攻擊她的其他兒女，就是那些堅守上帝的誡命、為耶穌做見證的人。 18 那時巨龍站在海邊的沙地上。
Revelation 12
Common English Bible
A woman, her child, and the dragon
12 Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant, and she cried out because she was in labor, in pain from giving birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: it was a great fiery red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads. 4 His tail swept down a third of heaven’s stars and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth so that when she gave birth, he might devour her child. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child who is to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was snatched up to God and his throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the desert, where God has prepared a place for her. There she will be taken care of for one thousand two hundred sixty days.
Michael and the dragon
7 Then there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but they did not prevail, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 So the great dragon was thrown down. The old snake, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was thrown down to the earth; and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say,
“Now the salvation and power and kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Christ have come.
The accuser of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them day and night before our God,
has been thrown down.
11 They gained the victory over him on account of the blood of the Lamb
and the word of their witness.
Love for their own lives didn’t make them afraid to die.
12 Therefore, rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them.
But oh! The horror for the earth and sea!
The devil has come down to you with great rage,
for he knows that he only has a short time.”
The dragon pursues the woman
13 When the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he chased the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she could fly to her place in the desert. There she would be taken care of—out of the snake’s reach—for a time and times and half a time. 15 Then from his mouth the snake poured a river of water after the woman so that the river would sweep her away. 16 But the earth helped the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon poured out of his mouth. 17 So the dragon was furious with the woman, and he went off to make war on the rest of her children, on those who keep God’s commandments and hold firmly to the witness of Jesus.
The beast from the sea
18 Then the dragon stood on the seashore,
