1 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.
18 And I stood upon the sand of the sea.
1 那时， 天上出现了一个奇伟的景象： 有一个妇人， 身披太阳， 脚踏月亮， 头戴十二颗星的冠冕。
2 她怀了孕， 在生产的痛苦中疼痛呼叫。
3 天上又出现了另一个景象。看哪！ 有一条大红龙， 有七头十角， 七头上戴着七个皇冠。
4 它的尾巴拖着天上三分之一的星辰， 把它们摔在地上。龙站在那快要生产的妇人面前， 等她生产了， 就要吞吃她的孩子。
5 她生了一个男孩子， 就是将来要用铁杖治理列国的。她的孩子被提取到 神和他宝座那里去。
6 妇人就逃到旷野去了， 那里有 神为她预备的地方。她在那里得供养一千二百六十天。
7 天上发生了战争： 米迦勒和他的天使与龙作战。龙和它的天使也起来应战，
8 龙却抵挡不住， 天上再也没有它们的地方了。
9 于是那大龙被摔了下来。它就是那古蛇， 名叫魔鬼， 又叫撒但， 是迷惑普天下的人的。它被摔在地上， 它的天使也跟它一同被摔了下来。
10 我又听见天上有大声音说： "我们 神的救恩、能力、国度和他所立的基督的权柄， 现在都已经来到了！ 因为那昼夜在我们 神面前控告我们弟兄的控告者， 已经被摔下来了！
11 弟兄胜过它， 是因着羊羔的血， 也因着自己所见证的道， 他们虽然至死， 也不爱惜自己的性命。
12 所以， 众天和住在其中的， 你们都欢乐吧！ 可是地和海有祸了！ 因为魔鬼知道自己的时日无多， 就大大发怒下到你们那里去了。"
13 龙见自己被摔在地上， 就迫害那生了男孩子的妇人。
14 于是有大鹰的两个翅膀赐给了那妇人， 使她可以飞到旷野， 到自己的地方， 在那里得供养一年两年半年， 离开那蛇的面。
15 蛇在妇人后面， 从口中吐出水来， 好像江河一样， 要把妇人冲去。
16 地却帮助了那妇人， 张开口， 把从龙口中吐出来的河水吞了。
17 龙就向妇人发怒， 去和她其余的子孙作战， 就是和那遵守 神命令坚持耶稣见证的人作战。 [ (Revelation 12:18) 那时， 龙站在海边的沙上。 ]
