启示录 12:1-12
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
生子的女人和大龙
12 那时,天上出现了一个奇伟的景象:有一个妇人,身披太阳,脚踏月亮,头戴十二颗星的冠冕。 2 她怀了孕,在生产的痛苦中疼痛呼叫。 3 天上又出现了另一个景象。看哪!有一条大红龙,有七头十角,七头上戴着七个皇冠。 4 牠的尾巴拖着天上三分之一的星辰,把它们摔在地上。龙站在那快要生产的妇人面前,等她生产了,就要吞吃她的孩子。 5 她生了一个男孩子,就是将来要用铁杖治理列国的。她的孩子被提取到 神和他宝座那里去。 6 妇人就逃到旷野去了,那里有 神为她预备的地方。她在那里得供养一千二百六十天。
7 天上发生了战争:米迦勒和他的天使与龙作战。龙和牠的天使也起来应战, 8 龙却抵挡不住,天上再也没有牠们的地方了。 9 于是那大龙被摔了下来。牠就是那古蛇,名叫魔鬼,又叫撒但,是迷惑普天下的人的。牠被摔在地上,牠的天使也跟牠一同被摔了下来。 10 我又听见天上有大声音说:
“我们 神的救恩、能力、国度
和他所立的基督的权柄,
现在都已经来到了!
因为那昼夜在我们 神面前
控告我们弟兄的控告者,
已经被摔下来了!
11 弟兄胜过牠,是因着羊羔的血,
也因着自己所见证的道,
他们虽然至死,
也不爱惜自己的性命。
12 所以,众天和住在其中的,
你们都欢乐吧!
可是地和海有祸了!
因为魔鬼知道自己的时日无多,
就大大发怒下到你们那里去了。”

Revelation 12:1-12
New International Version
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.”

Evangelical Heritage Version
The Dragon and the Child
12 A great sign appeared in the sky: 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 in pain and agony as she gave birth.
3 Another sign also appeared in the sky: There was a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. 4 His tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman, who was about to give birth, so that he could devour the child as soon as it was born.
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God in order that she might be fed there for 1,260 days.
War in Heaven
7 There was also a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon. The dragon fought back along with his angels, 8 but he was not strong enough. There was no longer a place for them[a] in heaven. 9 The great dragon was thrown down—the ancient serpent, the one called the Devil and Satan, the one who leads the whole inhabited earth astray—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying:
Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God
and the authority of his Christ,[b]
because the accuser of our brothers[c] has been thrown down,
the one who accuses them before our God day and night.
11 They conquered him
because of the blood of the Lamb and
because of the word of their testimony.
They did not love their lives in the face of death.
12 For this reason, rejoice, you heavens and those who dwell in them.
Woe to the earth and the sea,
for the Devil has gone down to you.
He is full of rage, because he knows that his time is short.
