Revelation 12
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
12 A great sign[a] appeared in heaven:(A) a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.(B) 2 She was pregnant and cried out in labour and agony as she was about to give birth.(C) 3 Then another sign[b] appeared in heaven: There was a great fiery red dragon(D) having seven heads and ten horns,(E) and on its heads were seven crowns.[c] 4 Its tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth.(F) And the dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she did give birth it might devour her child.(G) 5 She gave birth to a Son, a male who is going to rule[d] all nations with an iron rod.(H) Her child was caught up to God and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God,(I) to be nourished there[e] for 1,260 days.(J)
The Dragon Thrown Out of Heaven
7 Then war broke out in heaven: Michael(K) and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels also fought, 8 but he could not prevail,(L) and there was no place for them in heaven any longer.(M) 9 So the great dragon was thrown out – the ancient serpent,(N) who is called the devil and Satan,(O) the one who deceives the whole world.(P) He was thrown to earth, and his angels with him.(Q) 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say,
The salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God
and the authority of his Christ
have now come,(R)
because the accuser(S) of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them
before our God day and night,
has been thrown down.
11 They conquered him
by the blood of the Lamb(T)
and by the word of their testimony;(U)
for they did not love their lives
to the point of death.(V)
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens,
and you who dwell in them!(W)
Woe to the earth and the sea,
because the devil has come down to you
with great fury,
because he knows his time is short.
The Woman Persecuted
13 When the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he persecuted[f] the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 The woman was given two wings of a great eagle,(X) so that she could fly from the serpent’s presence to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished for a time, times, and half a time.(Y) 15 From his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river flowing after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth. 17 So the dragon was furious with the woman and went off to wage war(Z) against the rest of her offspring[g](AA) – those who keep the commands of God(AB) and hold firmly to the testimony about Jesus.(AC)
The Beast from the Sea
Revelation 12
New King James Version
The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
12 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out (A)in labor and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, (B)a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 (C)His tail drew a third (D)of the stars of heaven (E)and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood (F)before the woman who was ready to give birth, (G)to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child (H)who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was (I)caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then (J)the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there (K)one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Satan Thrown Out of Heaven
7 And war broke out in heaven: (L)Michael and his angels fought (M)with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. 9 So (N)the great dragon was cast out, (O)that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, (P)who deceives the whole world; (Q)he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, (R)“Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, (S)who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And (T)they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, (U)and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore (V)rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! (W)Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, (X)because he knows that he has a short time.”
The Woman Persecuted
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted (Y)the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 (Z)But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, (AA)that she might fly (AB)into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished (AC)for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent (AD)spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus [c]Christ.

Ang Biblia (1978)
12 At ang isang dakilang tanda ay nakita sa langit: isang babae na nararamtan ng araw, at (A)ang buwan ay nasa ilalim ng kaniyang mga paa, at sa kaniyang ulo ay may isang putong na labingdalawang bituin;
2 At (B)siya'y nagdadalang tao; at siya'y sumisigaw, na nagdaramdam sa panganganak, at sa hirap upang manganak.
3 At ang ibang tanda ay nakita sa langit: at narito, ang isang malaking (C)dragong mapula, na may pitong ulo at (D)sangpung sungay, at sa kaniyang mga ulo'y may pitong diadema.
4 At kinaladkad ng kaniyang buntot ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga bituin sa langit, (E)at ipinaghagis sa lupa: at lumagay ang dragon sa harapan ng babaing manganganak na, (F)upang lamunin ang kaniyang anak pagkapanganak niya.
5 At siya'y nanganak ng isang anak na lalake, na (G)maghahari na may panghampas na bakal sa lahat ng mga bansa: at ang kaniyang anak ay inagaw na dinala hanggang sa Dios, at hanggang sa kaniyang luklukan.
6 At tumakas ang babae sa ilang, na doon siya'y ipinaghanda ng Dios ng isang dako, upang doon siya ampuning (H)isang libo dalawang daan at anim na pung araw.
7 At nagkaroon ng pagbabaka sa langit: (I)si Miguel at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay nakipagbaka sa (J)dragon; at ang dragon at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay nakipagbaka;
8 At hindi sila nanganalo, (K)ni nasumpungan pa man ang kanilang dako sa langit.
9 At (L)inihagis ang malaking dragon, (M)ang matandang ahas, ang tinatawag na Diablo at (N)Satanas, (O)ang dumadaya sa buong sanglibutan; siya'y inihagis sa lupa, at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay inihagis na kasama niya.
10 At narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig sa langit, na nagsasabi,
(P)Ngayo'y dumating ang kaligtasan, at ang kapangyarihan, at ang kaharian ng ating Dios, at ang kapamahalaan ng kaniyang Cristo: sapagka't inihagis na ang tagapagsumbong sa ating mga kapatid (Q)na siyang sa kanila'y nagsusumbong sa harapan ng ating Dios araw at gabi.
11 At siya'y (R)kanilang dinaig dahil sa dugo ng Cordero, at dahil sa (S)salita ng kanilang patotoo, (T)at hindi nila inibig ang kanilang buhay hanggang sa kamatayan.
12 Kaya't mangagalak kayo, Oh mga langit at kayong nagsisitahan diyan.
(U)Sa aba ng lupa at ng dagat: sapagka't ang diablo'y bumaba sa inyo, na may malaking galit, sa pagkaalam niya na kaunting panahon na lamang mayroon siya.
13 At nang makita ng dragon na siya'y inihagis sa lupa, ay inusig niya (V)ang babaing nanganak ng sanggol na lalake.
14 At sa babae'y ibinigay ang dalawang pakpak ng agilang malaki, upang ilipad sa ilang mula sa harap ng ahas hanggang sa kaniyang tahanan, na pinagkandilihan sa kaniyang (W)isang panahon, at mga panahon, at kalahati ng isang panahon.
15 At ang ahas ay nagbuga sa kaniyang bibig sa likuran ng babae ng tubig na gaya ng isang ilog, upang maipatangay siya sa agos.
16 At tinulungan ng lupa ang babae, at ibinuka ang kaniyang bibig at nilamon ang ilog na ibinuga ng dragon sa kaniyang bibig.
17 At nagalit ang dragon sa babae, (X)at umalis upang bumaka sa nalabi sa kaniyang binhi, (Y)na siyang nagsisitupad ng mga utos ng Dios, at mga may (Z)patotoo ni Jesus:
