Revelasyon 12

Haitian Creole Version

12 ¶ Yon gwo siy parèt nan sièl la: se te yon fanm ki te vlope nan solèy la tankou nan yon rad. Lalin lan te anba pie li. Li te gen douz zetwal kouwonnen tèt li.

²Li te prèt pou l' te akouche: soufrans ak doulè tranche t'ap fè l' rele.

³Yon lòt siy te parèt nan sièl la tou: se te yon gwo dragon wouj. Li te gen sèt tèt ak dis kòn, ak yon kouwòn sou chak tèt li yo.

⁴Sou chak twa zetwal ki nan sièl la, li pran yonn li rache l' ak ke l', li voye l' jete sou latè. Li te kanpe la devan fanm ki tapral akouche a, pou l' te ka devore ti pitit la kou l' fèt.

⁵Fanm lan fè yon ti pitit gason ki gen pou gouvènen tout nasyon yo ak yon baton fè. Men, yo pran ti pitit la, yo mennen l' bò kot Bondye, bò kot fòtèy la.

⁶Fanm lan menm kouri ale nan dezè a, kote Bondye te pare yon plas pou yo te ba l' manje pandan mildesanswasant (1.260) jou.

⁷Lè sa a, yon sèl batay pete nan sièl la: Michèl ak zanj li yo pran goumen ak dragon an. Dragon an menm te gen zanj pa l' yo avè l' pou goumen ak Michèl.

⁸Men, dragon an pèdi batay la, yo pa ba l' dwa rete nan sièl la ankò, ni li menm, ni zanj li yo.

⁹Yo jete gwo dragon an deyò. Se li menm, sèpan ki la depi lontan an, li menm yo rele diab la osinon Satan, k'ap plede twonpe tout moun. Yo voye l' jete sou latè ansanm ak tout zanj li yo.

¹⁰Apre sa, mwen tande yon gwo vwa nan sièl la ki t'ap di: Koulye a, Bondye pral vin delivre nou. Koulye a Bondye fè wè li gen pouvwa, se li ki sèl Mèt! Koulye a, Kris li a fè wè otorite li. Paske, moun ki t'ap plede akize frè nou yo, moun ki te kanpe la devan Bondye, lajounen kou lannwit, ap pote plent pou yo a, yo mete l' deyò nan sièl la.

¹¹Frè nou yo goumen ak li jouk yo gen batay la, gremesi san ti Mouton an ki te koule ak verite yo t'ap pibliye a: yo pa t' renmen lavi yo jouk pou yo ta pè lanmò.

¹²¶ Se poutèt sa, fè kè n' kontan, nou menm sièl ak tout moun ki rete nan sièl la. Men, malè pou latè ak lanmè, paske Satan desann sou nou. Li move anpil, paske li konnen pa rete l' anpil tan ankò.

¹³Lè dragon an wè se tout bon yo te jete l' sou latè, li pran kouri dèyè fanm ki te fè pitit gason an.

¹⁴Men, yo bay fanm lan de gwo zèl malfini pou l' te ka vole ale nan plas li nan dezè a, byen lwen sèpan an. Se la yo ba l' manje pandan twazan sis mwa.

¹⁵Lè sa a, sèpan an louvri bouch li, li konmanse vonmi dlo. Dlo a fè yon gwo larivyè ki kouri dèyè fanm lan pou pote l' ale.

¹⁶Men, latè vin bay fanm lan konkou, li louvri bouch li, li vale tout dlo ki t'ap soti nan bouch dragon an.

¹⁷(17-18) Se pa ti move dragon an te move sou fanm lan. li al goumen avèk lòt pitit fanm lan, sa vle di ak tout moun k'ap obeyi kòmandman Bondye yo, k'ap kenbe fèm nan verite Jezi te fè nou konnen an. Apre sa, dragon an kanpe bò lanmè a.

Revelation 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. ²She was pregnant and cried out in pain^(D) as she was about to give birth. ³Then 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. ⁴Its 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. ⁵She 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. ⁶The 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)

⁷Then war broke out in heaven. Michael^(P) and his angels fought against the dragon,^(Q) and the dragon and his angels^(R) fought back. ⁸But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. ⁹The 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.

¹⁰Then 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.
¹¹They 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)
¹²Therefore 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.”

¹³When 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) ¹⁴The 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. ¹⁵Then from his mouth the serpent^(AL) spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. ¹⁶But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. ¹⁷Then 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)
