Revelation 12

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.	1 Y apareció en el cielo un gran signo: una Mujer revestida del sol, con la luna bajo sus pies y una corona de doce estrellas en su cabeza.
2 And being with child, she cried out while giving birth, and she was suffering in order to give birth.	2 Estaba embarazada y gritaba de dolor porque iba a dar a luz.
3 And another sign was seen in heaven. And behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.	3 Y apareció en el cielo otro signo: un enorme Dragón rojo como el fuego, con siete cabezas y diez cuernos, y en cada cabeza tenía una diadema.
4 And his tail drew down a third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman, who was about to give birth, so that, when she had brought forth, he might devour her son.	4 Su cola arrastraba una tercera parte de las estrellas del cielo, y las precipitó sobre la tierra. El Dragón se puso delante de la Mujer que iba a dar a luz, para devorar a su hijo en cuanto naciera.
5 And she brought forth a male child, who was soon to rule all the nations with an iron rod. And her son was taken up to God and to his throne.	5 La Mujer tuvo un hijo varón que debía regir a todas las naciones con un cetro de hierro. Pero el hijo fue elevado hasta Dios y hasta su trono,
6 And the woman fled into solitude, where a place was being held ready by God, so that they might pasture her in that place for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.	6 y la Mujer huyó al desierto, donde Dios le había preparado un refugio para que allí fuera alimentada durante mil doscientos sesenta días.
7 And there was a great battle in heaven. Michael and his Angels were battling with the dragon, and the dragon was fighting, and so were his angels.	7 Entonces se libró una batalla en el cielo: Miguel y sus Angeles combatieron contra el Dragón, y este contraatacó con sus ángeles,
8 But they did not prevail, and a place for them was no longer found in heaven.	8 pero fueron vencidos y expulsados del cielo.
9 And he was thrown out, that great dragon, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduces the whole world. And he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.	9 Y así fue precipitado el enorme Dragón, la antigua Serpiente, llamada Diablo o Satanás, y el seductor del mundo entero fue arrojado sobre la tierra con todos sus ángeles.
10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying: “Now have arrived salvation and virtue and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, he who accused them before our God day and night.	10 Y escuché una voz potente que resonó en el cielo: «Ya llegó la salvación, el poder y el Reino de nuestro Dios y la soberanía de su Mesías porque ha sido precipitado el acusador de nuestros hermanos, el que día y noche los acusaba delante de nuestro Dios.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of his testimony. And they loved not their own lives, even unto death.	11 Ellos mismos lo han vencido, gracias a la sangre del Cordero y al testimonio que dieron de él, porque despreciaron su vida hasta la muerte.
12 Because of this, rejoice, O heavens, and all who dwell within it. Woe to the earth and to the sea! For the devil has descended to you, holding great anger, knowing that he has little time.”	12 ¡Que se alegren entonces el cielo y sus habitantes, pero ay de ustedes, tierra y mar, porque el Diablo ha descendido hasta ustedes con todo su furor, sabiendo que le queda poco tiempo!».
13 And after the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth the male child.	13 El Dragón, al verse precipitado sobre la tierra, se lanzó en persecución de la Mujer que había dado a luz al hijo varón.
14 And the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly away, into the desert, to her place, where she is being nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.	14 Pero la Mujer recibió las dos alas de la gran águila para volar hasta su refugio en el desierto, donde debía ser alimentada durante tres años y medio, lejos de la Serpiente.
15 And the serpent sent out from his mouth, after the woman, water like a river, so that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.	15 La Serpiente vomitó detrás de la Mujer como un río de agua, para que la arrastrara.
16 But the earth assisted the woman. And the earth opened her mouth and absorbed the river, which the dragon sent out from his mouth.	16 Pero la tierra vino en ayuda de la Mujer: abrió su boca y se tragó el río que el Dragón había vomitado.
17 And the dragon was angry at the woman. And so he went away to do battle with the remainder of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ.	17 El Dragón, enfurecido contra la Mujer, se fue a luchar contra el resto de su descendencia, contra los que obedecen los mandamientos de Dios y poseen el testimonio de Jesús.
18 And he stood upon the sand of the sea.	18 Y yo me quedé de pie sobre la playa.
