啟示錄 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
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
Darby Translation
12 And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;
2 and being with child she cried, [being] in travail, and in pain to bring forth.
3 And another sign was seen in the heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems;
4 and his tail draws the third part of the stars of the heaven; and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, in order that when she brought forth he might devour her child.
5 And she brought forth a male son, who shall shepherd all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has there a place prepared of God, that they should nourish her there a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days.
7 And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels;
8 and he prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in the heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, he who is called Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole habitable world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now is come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren has been cast out, who accused them before our God day and night:
11 and *they* have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony, and have not loved their life even unto death.
12 Therefore be full of delight, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great rage, knowing he has a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been cast out into the earth, he persecuted the woman which bore the male [child].
14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert into her place, where she is nourished there a time, and times, and half a time, from [the] face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth behind the woman water as a river, that he might make her be [as] one carried away by a river.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.
