요한계시록 12
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
여자와 큰 뱀
12 그때에 크고 놀라운 표징이 하늘에 나타났습니다. 한 여자가 해를 옷으로 입고, 달을 밟고, 별이 열두 개 달린 왕관을 머리에 쓰고 나타났습니다. 2 여자는 아기를 배고 있었습니다. 그리고 아기를 낳게 되자 아파서 큰 소리로 울었습니다. 3 그러자 또 다른 표징이 하늘에 나타났습니다. 이번에는 아주 크고 붉은 용이 나타났습니다. 그 용은 일곱 머리와 열 뿔을 가졌고, 그 머리마다 왕관을 쓰고 있었습니다. 4 용은 꼬리로 하늘에 있는 별의 삼분의 일을 쓸어서 땅으로 던져 버렸습니다. 그리고 아기를 낳으려는 여자 앞에 서서, 여자가 아기를 낳기만 기다렸습니다. 아기가 태어나는 대로 삼켜 버리려는 것이었습니다. 5 여자가 아들을 낳았습니다. 그 아기는 장차 쇠 지팡이로 모든 민족을 다스리실 분이었습니다. 별안간 여자의 아기는 하나님과 그분의 보좌로 들려 올라갔습니다. 6 여자는 광야로 도망쳤습니다. 그곳은 하나님께서 천이백육십 일 동안 그 여자를 보살펴 주시려고 마련해 두신 곳이었습니다.
7 그때에 하늘에서 전쟁이 일어났습니다. 미가엘[a]과 미가엘의 천사들이 용을 무찌르기 위해 싸웠고, 용과 용의 천사들도 맞서 싸웠습니다. 8 그러나 용은 힘이 모자랐습니다. 그래서 용과 용의 천사들은 하늘에서 더는 발붙일 곳이 없었습니다. 9 그 큰 용, 곧 그 옛 뱀은 땅으로 내쫓겼습니다. 그 큰 용은 악마 또는 사탄이라고도 하는데, 온 세상을 속이는 자입니다. 그 용은 땅으로 내쫓겼고, 그의 천사들도 그와 함께 내쫓겼습니다.
10 그때에 나는 하늘에서 큰 목소리가 이렇게 말하는 것을 들었습니다.
“우리 형제자매들을 고발하는 자
그들을
우리 하나님 앞에서
밤낮으로 고발하는 자가 쫓겨났다.
이제 우리 하나님께서 당신의 백성을 구원하실 것이다.
이제 그분께서 당신의 능력을 행사하시어
왕으로서 다스리실 것이다.
이제 그분이 세우신 그리스도께서
당신의 권세를 세상에 떨치실 것이다.
11 우리 형제자매들은
어린양의 피와
자기들이 증언한 말씀으로 그 자를 이겨 냈다.
그들은 자기들의 목숨을 아까워하지 않았다.
그들은 죽는 것을 두려워하지 않았다.
12 그러므로
너 하늘아
그리고 그 안에 사는 자들아
기뻐하라!
그러나 땅과 바다에는 재앙이 미칠 것이다.
악마가 너희에게 내려왔기 때문이다.
악마는 제 시간이 얼마 남지 않은 것을 알고
화가 잔뜩 나 있다.”
13 용은 자기가 땅으로 쫓겨났다는 것을 알고는, 남자 아이를 낳은 그 여자의 뒤를 쫓아갔습니다. 14 그러나 여자는 큰 독수리의 두 날개를 받았습니다. 그리하여 여자는 광야에 자기를 위해 마련된 곳으로 날아갈 수 있었습니다. 그곳에서 여자는 뱀을 피해 삼 년 반 동안 보살핌을 받게 될 것입니다. 15 그러자 뱀은 입으로부터 강물처럼 많은 물을 그 여자 쪽으로 토해 내어, 그 물로 여자를 휩쓸어 버리려고 하였습니다. 16 그러나 땅이 여자를 도왔습니다. 땅은 입을 열어 용이 입으로 토해 낸 물을 삼켰습니다. 17 용은 여자에게 몹시 화가 나서, 여자의 다른 자손, 곧 하나님의 명령에 순종하고 예수에 관하여 증언하는 일에 충성스러운 사람들과 싸우러 나갔습니다.
18 용은 바닷가에 섰습니다.

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.”
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)

The Woman and the Dragon
12 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman (A)clothed with (B)the sun, with (C)the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was pregnant and (D)was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great (E)red dragon, (F)with seven heads and (G)ten horns, and on his heads (H)seven diadems. 4 His tail swept down (I)a third of the stars of heaven and (J)cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child (K)he might devour it. 5 She gave birth to a male child, (L)one who is to rule[a] all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was (M)caught up to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for (N)1,260 days.
Satan Thrown Down to Earth
7 Now war arose in heaven, (O)Michael and (P)his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And (Q)the great dragon was thrown down, (R)that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, (S)the deceiver of the whole world—(T)he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now (U)the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers[b] has been thrown down, (V)who accuses them day and night before our God. 11 And (W)they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for (X)they loved not their lives (Y)even unto death. 12 Therefore, (Z)rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But (AA)woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because (AB)he knows that his time is short!”
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued (AC)the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two (AD)wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent (AE)into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished (AF)for a time, and times, and half a time. 15 The serpent poured water (AG)like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. 16 But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. 17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off (AH)to make war on the rest of (AI)her offspring, (AJ)on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to (AK)the testimony of Jesus. And he stood[c] on the sand of the sea.

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.
