The Woman and the Dragon
12 A great sign(A) appeared in heaven:(B) a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars(C) on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain(D) as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven:(E) an enormous red dragon(F) with seven heads(G) and ten horns(H) and seven crowns(I) on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third(J) of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.(K) The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child(L) the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”[a](M) And her child was snatched up(N) to God and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.(O)
7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael(P) and his angels fought against the dragon,(Q) and the dragon and his angels(R) fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent(S) called the devil,(T) or Satan,(U) who leads the whole world astray.(V) He was hurled to the earth,(W) and his angels with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven(X) say:
“Now have come the salvation(Y) and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,(Z)
who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over(AA) him
by the blood of the Lamb(AB)
and by the word of their testimony;(AC)
they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death.(AD)
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens(AE)
and you who dwell in them!
But woe(AF) to the earth and the sea,(AG)
because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short.”
13 When the dragon(AH) saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.(AI) 14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle,(AJ) so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time,(AK) out of the serpent’s reach. 15 Then from his mouth the serpent(AL) spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. 16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war(AM) against the rest of her offspring(AN)—those who keep God’s commands(AO) and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.(AP)

La mujer y el dragón
12 Entonces fui testigo de un suceso de gran importancia en el cielo. Vi a una mujer vestida del sol, con la luna debajo de los pies y una corona de doce estrellas sobre la cabeza. 2 Estaba embarazada y gritaba a causa de los dolores de parto y de la agonía de dar a luz.
3 Luego fui testigo de otro suceso importante en el cielo. Vi a un gran dragón rojo con siete cabezas y diez cuernos, y una corona en cada cabeza. 4 Con la cola arrastró la tercera parte de las estrellas en el cielo y las arrojó a la tierra. Cuando la mujer estaba a punto de dar a luz, el dragón se paró delante de ella, listo para devorar al bebé en cuanto naciera.
5 Ella dio a luz a un hijo que gobernaría a todas las naciones con vara de hierro. Al dragón le arrebataron el hijo y lo llevaron hasta Dios y su trono. 6 Y la mujer huyó al desierto, donde Dios había preparado un lugar para que la cuidaran durante 1260 días.
7 Entonces hubo guerra en el cielo. Miguel y sus ángeles lucharon contra el dragón y sus ángeles. 8 El dragón perdió la batalla y él y sus ángeles fueron expulsados del cielo. 9 Este gran dragón—la serpiente antigua llamada diablo o Satanás, el que engaña al mundo entero—fue lanzado a la tierra junto con todos sus ángeles.
10 Luego oí una fuerte voz que resonaba por todo el cielo:
«Por fin han llegado
la salvación y el poder,
el reino de nuestro Dios,
y la autoridad de su Cristo.[a]
Pues el acusador de nuestros hermanos
—el que los acusa delante de nuestro Dios día y noche—
ha sido lanzado a la tierra.
11 Ellos lo han vencido por medio de la sangre del Cordero
y por el testimonio que dieron.
Y no amaron tanto la vida
como para tenerle miedo a la muerte.
12 Por lo tanto, ¡alégrense, oh cielos!
¡Y alégrense, ustedes, los que viven en los cielos!
Pero el terror vendrá sobre la tierra y el mar,
pues el diablo ha descendido a ustedes con gran furia,
porque sabe que le queda poco tiempo».
13 Cuando el dragón se dio cuenta de que había sido lanzado a la tierra, persiguió a la mujer que había dado a luz al hijo varón; 14 pero a ella se le dieron dos alas como las de una gran águila para que pudiera volar al lugar que se había preparado para ella en el desierto. Allí sería cuidada y protegida lejos del dragón[b] durante un tiempo, tiempos y la mitad de un tiempo.
15 Luego el dragón trató de ahogar a la mujer con un torrente de agua que salía de su boca; 16 pero entonces la tierra ayudó a la mujer y abrió la boca y tragó el río que brotaba de la boca del dragón. 17 Así que el dragón se enfureció contra la mujer y le declaró la guerra al resto de sus hijos, a todos los que obedecen los mandamientos de Dios y se mantienen firmes en su testimonio de Jesús.
18 Entonces el dragón se plantó[c] a la orilla junto al mar.

Revelation 12
King James Version
12 And 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:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And 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.
5 And 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.
6 And 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.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And 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.
10 And 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.
11 And 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.
12 Therefore 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.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And 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.
15 And 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.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And 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.
