Apocalisse (رؤيا) 12

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 وظهرت آية عظيمة في السماء امرأة متسربلة بالشمس والقمر تحت رجليها وعلى راسها اكليل من اثني عشر كوكبا	1 A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 وهي حبلى تصرخ متمخضة ومتوجعة لتلد.	2 She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.
3 وظهرت آية اخرى في السماء. هوذا تنين عظيم احمر له سبعة رؤوس وعشرة قرون وعلى رؤوسه سبعة تيجان.	3 Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems.
4 وذنبه يجر ثلث نجوم السماء فطرحها الى الارض. والتنين وقف امام المرأة العتيدة ان تلد حتى يبتلع ولدها متى ولدت.	4 Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth.
5 فولدت ابنا ذكرا عتيدا ان يرعى جميع الامم بعصا من حديد. واختطف ولدها الى الله والى عرشه.	5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne.
6 والمرأة هربت الى البرية حيث لها موضع معد من الله لكي يعولوها هناك الفا ومئتين وستين يوما	6 The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God, that there she might be taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days.
7 وحدثت حرب في السماء. ميخائيل وملائكته حاربوا التنين وحارب التنين وملائكته	7 Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back,
8 ولم يقووا فلم يوجد مكانهم بعد ذلك في السماء.	8 but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
9 فطرح التنين العظيم الحية القديمة المدعو ابليس والشيطان الذي يضل العالم كله طرح الى الارض وطرحت معه ملائكته.	9 The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it.
10 وسمعت صوتا عظيما قائلا في السماء الآن صار خلاص الهنا وقدرته وملكه وسلطان مسيحه لانه قد طرح المشتكي على اخوتنا الذي كان يشتكي عليهم امام الهنا نهارا وليلا.	10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Anointed. For the accuser of our brothers is cast out, who accuses them before our God day and night.
11 وهم غلبوه بدم الخروف وبكلمة شهادتهم ولم يحبوا حياتهم حتى الموت.	11 They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; love for life did not deter them from death.
12 من اجل هذا افرحي ايتها السموات والساكنون فيها. ويل لساكني الارض والبحر لان ابليس نزل اليكم وبه غضب عظيم عالما ان له زمانا قليلا	12 Therefore, rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them. But woe to you, earth and sea, for the Devil has come down to you in great fury, for he knows he has but a short time."
13 ولما رأى التنين انه طرح الى الارض اضطهد المرأة التي ولدت الابن الذكر	13 When the dragon saw that it had been thrown down to the earth, it pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
14 فأعطيت المرأة جناحي النسر العظيم لكي تطير الى البرية الى موضعها حيث تعال زمانا وزمانين ونصف زمان من وجه الحية.	14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she could fly to her place in the desert, where, far from the serpent, she was taken care of for a year, two years, and a half-year.
15 فالقت الحية من فمها وراء المرأة ماء كنهر لتجعلها تحمل بالنهر	15 The serpent, however, spewed a torrent of water out of his mouth after the woman to sweep her away with the current.
16 فاعانت الارض المرأة وفتحت الارض فمها وابتلعت النهر الذي ألقاه التنين من فمه.	16 But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth and swallowed the flood that the dragon spewed out of its mouth.
17 فغضب التنين على المرأة وذهب ليصنع حربا مع باقي نسلها الذين يحفظون وصايا الله وعندهم شهادة يسوع المسيح	17 Then the dragon became angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep God's commandments and bear witness to Jesus. (18) It took its position on the sand of the sea.
