Revelation 12:1-17
New Living Translation
The Woman and the Dragon
12 Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth.
3 Then I witnessed in heaven another significant event. I saw a large red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his heads. 4 His tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky, and he threw them to the earth. He stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her baby as soon as it was born.
5 She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260 days.
7 Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. 8 And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven. 9 This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.
10 Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens,
“It has come at last—
salvation and power
and the Kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Christ.[a]
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters[b]
has been thrown down to earth—
the one who accuses them
before our God day and night.
11 And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb
and by their testimony.
And they did not love their lives so much
that they were afraid to die.
12 Therefore, rejoice, O heavens!
And you who live in the heavens, rejoice!
But terror will come on the earth and the sea,
for the devil has come down to you in great anger,
knowing that he has little time.”
13 When the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness. There she would be cared for and protected from the dragon[c] for a time, times, and half a time.
15 Then the dragon tried to drown the woman with a flood of water that flowed from his mouth. 16 But the earth helped her by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that gushed out from the mouth of the dragon. 17 And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children—all who keep God’s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.

12 Then kai a great megas sign sēmeion appeared horaō in en · ho heaven ouranos: a woman gynē clothed with periballō the ho sun hēlios, · kai with the ho moon selēnē under hypokatō · ho her autos feet pous, and kai on epi · ho her autos head kephalē was a crown stephanos of twelve dōdeka stars astēr. 2 · kai She was echō pregnant en gastēr and kai was crying out krazō in labor pains ōdinō as kai she struggled basanizō to give birth tiktō. 3 Then kai another allos sign sēmeion appeared horaō in en · ho heaven ouranos: · kai a huge megas red pyrros dragon drakōn that had echō seven hepta heads kephalē and kai ten deka horns keras, and kai on epi · ho its autos heads kephalē were seven hepta crowns diadēma. 4 · kai · ho His autos tail oura swept away syrō a ho third tritos of the ho stars astēr of ho heaven ouranos and kai hurled ballō them autos to eis the ho earth gē. And kai the ho dragon drakōn stood histēmi before enōpion the ho woman gynē who ho was about mellō to give birth tiktō, so that hina when hotan she bore tiktō · ho her autos child teknon he might devour katesthiō it. 5 So kai the woman gave birth tiktō to a son hyios, a male child arsēn, who hos is going mellō to rule poimainō all pas the ho nations ethnos with en an iron sidērous rod rhabdos; but kai her autos child teknon was taken up harpazō · ho to pros · ho God theos and kai to pros · ho his autos throne thronos. 6 Then kai the ho woman gynē fled pheugō into eis the ho wilderness erēmos where hopou a place topos had been prepared hetoimazō for her by apo · ho God theos, so hina they can take care of trephō her autos there ekei for one thousand chilioi two hundred diakosioi and sixty hexēkonta days hēmera.
7 Then kai war polemos broke out ginomai in en · ho heaven ouranos, · ho Michael Michaēl and kai · ho his autos angels angelos fought polemeō against meta the ho dragon drakōn. · kai The ho dragon drakōn and kai his autos angels angelos fought back polemeō, · ho 8 but kai he was not ou strong enough ischuō, and no oude longer eti was a place topos found heuriskō for them autos in en · ho heaven ouranos. 9 And kai the ho great megas dragon drakōn was thrown down ballō, · ho that ho ancient archaios serpent ophis, · ho who ho is called kaleō the devil diabolos and kai · ho Satan Satanas, the ho deceiver planaō of the ho whole holos world oikoumenē— he was thrown down ballō to eis the ho earth gē, and kai · ho his autos angels angelos were thrown down ballō with meta him autos. 10 Then kai I heard akouō a loud megas voice phōnē in en · ho heaven ouranos saying legō, “ Just now arti have come ginomai the ho salvation sōtēria and kai the ho power dynamis and kai the ho kingdom basileia of ho our hēmeis God theos and kai the ho authority exousia of ho his autos Christ Christos, because hoti the ho accuser katēgōr of ho our hēmeis brothers adelphos has been thrown down ballō, the ho one who accuses katēgoreō them autos day hēmera and kai night nyx before enōpion · ho our hēmeis God theos. 11 · kai They autos overcame nikaō him autos by dia the ho blood haima of the ho Lamb arnion and kai by dia the ho word logos of ho their autos testimony martyria, and kai they did not ou love agapaō · ho their autos lives psychē even achri to death thanatos. 12 Therefore dia houtos, rejoice euphrainō, O ho heavens ouranos and kai all who ho dwell skēnoō in en them autos!

13 So kai when hote the ho dragon drakōn saw that hoti he had been thrown down ballō to eis the ho earth gē, he pursued diōkō the ho woman gynē who hostis had given birth tiktō to the ho male child arsēn. 14 But kai the ho woman gynē was given didōmi the ho two dyo wings pteryx of ho a great megas eagle aetos · ho so hina she could fly petomai away into eis the ho wilderness erēmos to eis the ho place topos where hopou she would be taken care of trephō for a time kairos, and kai times kairos, and kai half hēmisys a time kairos, safe from apo the presence prosōpon of the ho serpent ophis. 15 Then kai the ho serpent ophis spouted ballō water hydōr like hōs a river potamos out of ek · ho his autos mouth stoma after opisō the ho woman gynē to hina sweep poieō her autos away poieō by a flood potamophorētos, 16 but kai the ho earth gē came to the help of boētheō the ho woman gynē; · kai the ho ground gē opened up anoigō · ho and kai swallowed katapinō the ho river potamos that hos the ho dragon drakōn had spewed ballō from ek · ho his autos mouth stoma. 17 So kai the ho dragon drakōn became furious orgizō with epi the ho woman gynē and kai went off aperchomai to make poieō war polemos against meta the ho rest loipos of ho her autos children sperma, those ho who keep tēreō the ho commandments entolē of ho God theos and kai hold echō to the ho testimony martyria of Jesus Iēsous.
