Apocalipsis 12
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Babae at ang Dragon
12 At ang isang dakilang tanda ay nakita sa langit: isang babae na nakadamit ng araw, at ang buwan ay nasa ilalim ng kanyang mga paa, at sa kanyang ulo ay may isang putong ng labindalawang bituin;
2 siya'y nagdadalang-tao at sumisigaw sa hirap sa panganganak at sa sakit ng pagluluwal.
3 At(A) may isa pang tanda na nakita sa langit: isang malaking pulang dragon na may pitong ulo at sampung sungay, at sa kanyang mga ulo'y may pitong diadema.
4 Kinaladkad(B) ng kanyang buntot ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga bituin sa langit at inihagis ang mga ito sa lupa. At tumayo ang dragon sa harapan ng babae na malapit nang manganak, upang lamunin ang anak ng babae pagkapanganak niya.
5 At(C) siya'y nanganak ng isang batang lalaki na siyang magpapastol na may pamalong bakal sa lahat ng mga bansa. Ngunit ang kanyang anak ay inagaw at dinala sa Diyos at sa kanyang trono.
6 Tumakas ang babae sa ilang, at doon ay ipinaghanda siya ng Diyos ng isang lugar, upang doon siya'y alagaan nila ng isang libo dalawang daan at animnapung araw.
7 At(D) nagkaroon ng digmaan sa langit, si Miguel at ang kanyang mga anghel ay nakipagdigma sa dragon. Ang dragon at ang kanyang mga anghel ay nakipagdigma,
8 ngunit hindi sila nagwagi, ni wala ng lugar para sa kanila sa langit.
9 At(E) itinapon ang malaking dragon, ang matandang ahas, ang tinatawag na Diyablo at Satanas, ang mandaraya sa buong sanlibutan; siya'y itinapon sa lupa at ang kanyang mga anghel ay itinapong kasama niya.
10 At(F) narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig sa langit na nagsasabi,
“Ngayo'y dumating ang kaligtasan at ang kapangyarihan,
at ang kaharian ng ating Diyos,
at ang kapangyarihan ng kanyang Cristo,
sapagkat itinapon na ang tagapag-paratang sa ating mga kapatid
na siyang nagpaparatang sa kanila sa harapan ng ating Diyos, araw at gabi.
11 At siya'y kanilang dinaig dahil sa dugo ng Kordero,
at dahil sa salita ng kanilang patotoo,
sapagkat hindi nila inibig ang kanilang buhay maging hanggang sa kamatayan.
12 Kaya't magalak kayo, O mga langit
at kayong mga naninirahan diyan!
Kahabag-habag ang lupa at dagat
sapagkat ang diyablo'y bumaba sa inyo
na may malaking poot,
palibhasa'y alam niya na maikli na lamang ang kanyang panahon!”
13 Nang makita ng dragon na siya'y itinapon sa lupa, inusig niya ang babaing nanganak ng sanggol na lalaki.
14 Ngunit(G) ang babae'y binigyan ng dalawang pakpak ng malaking agila upang makalipad siya mula sa harap ng ahas patungo sa ilang hanggang sa kanyang lugar, na pinaalagaan sa kanya ng isang panahon, at mga panahon, at kalahati ng isang panahon.
15 At ang ahas ay nagbuga mula sa kanyang bibig ng tubig sa babae na gaya ng isang ilog upang tangayin siya ng agos.
16 Ngunit ang babae ay tinulungan ng lupa at ibinuka nito ang kanyang bibig at nilamon ang ilog na ibinuga ng dragon mula sa kanyang bibig.
17 Nagalit ang dragon sa babae, at umalis upang digmain ang nalabi sa binhi ng babae, ang mga tumutupad sa mga utos ng Diyos at ang mga may patotoo ni Jesus.
18 At tumayo ang dragon[a] sa buhanginan ng dagat.

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.

The Woman and the Dragon
12 Then a great and mysterious sight appeared in the sky. There was a woman, whose dress was the sun and who had the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was soon to give birth, and the pains and suffering of childbirth made her cry out.
3 (A)Another mysterious sight appeared in the sky. There was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and a crown on each of his heads. 4 (B)With his tail he dragged a third of the stars out of the sky and threw them down to the earth. He stood in front of the woman, in order to eat her child as soon as it was born. 5 (C)Then she gave birth to a son, who will rule over all nations with an iron rod. But the child was snatched away and taken to God and his throne. 6 The woman fled to the desert, to a place God had prepared for her, where she will be taken care of for 1,260 days.
7 (D)Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, who fought back with his angels; 8 but the dragon was defeated, and he and his angels were not allowed to stay in heaven any longer. 9 (E)The huge dragon was thrown out—that ancient serpent, named the Devil, or Satan, that deceived the whole world. He was thrown down to earth, and all his angels with him.
10 (F)Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now God's salvation has come! Now God has shown his power as King! Now his Messiah has shown his authority! For the one who stood before our God and accused believers day and night has been thrown out of heaven. 11 They won the victory over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the truth which they proclaimed; and they were willing to give up their lives and die. 12 And so be glad, you heavens, and all you that live there! But how terrible for the earth and the sea! For the Devil has come down to you, and he is filled with rage, because he knows that he has only a little time left.”
13 When the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he began to pursue the woman who had given birth to the boy. 14 (G)She was given the two wings of a large eagle in order to fly to her place in the desert, where she will be taken care of for three and a half years, safe from the dragon's attack. 15 And then from his mouth the dragon poured out a flood of water after the woman, so that it would carry her away. 16 But the earth helped the woman; it opened its mouth and swallowed the water that had come from the dragon's mouth. 17 The dragon was furious with the woman and went off to fight against the rest of her descendants, all those who obey God's commandments and are faithful to the truth revealed by Jesus. 18 And the dragon stood[a] on the seashore.

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.
