Revelation 12

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
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.	1 I znamenje veliko pokaza se na nebu: Žena odjevena suncem, mjesec joj pod nogama, a na glavi vijenac od dvanaest zvijezda.
2 She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.	2 Trudna viče u porođajnim bolima i mukama rađanja.
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.	3 I pokaza se drugo znamenje na nebu: gle, Zmaj velik, ognjen, sa sedam glava i deset rogova; na glavama mu sedam kruna,
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.	4 a rep mu povlači trećinu zvijezda nebeskih – i obori ih na zemlju. Zmaj stade pred Ženu koja imaše roditi da joj, čim rodi, proždre Dijete.
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.	5 I ona porodi sina, muškića, koji će vladati svim narodima palicom gvozdenom. I Dijete njeno bi uzeto k Bogu i prijestolju njegovu.
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.	6 A Žena pobježe u pustinju gdje joj Bog pripravi sklonište da se ondje hrani tisuću dvjesta i šezdeset dana.
7 Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back,	7 I nasta rat na nebu: Mihael i njegovi anđeli zarate se sa Zmajem. Zmaj uđe u rat i anđeli njegovi,
8 but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.	8 ali ne nadvlada. I ne bijaše im više mjesta na nebu.
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.	9 Zbačen je Zmaj veliki, Stara zmija – imenom Đavao, Sotona, zavodnik svega svijeta. Bačen je na zemlju, a s njime su bačeni i anđeli njegovi.
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.	10 I začujem glas na nebu silan: »Sada nasta spasenje i snaga i kraljevstvo Boga našega i vlast Pomazanika njegova! Jer zbačen je tužitelj braće naše koji ih je dan i noć optuživao pred Bogom našim.
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.	11 Ali oni ga pobijediše krvlju Jaganjčevom i riječju svojega svjedočanstva: nisu ljubili života svoga – sve do smrti.
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."	12 Zato veselite se, nebesa i svi nebesnici! A jao vama, zemljo i more, jer Đavao siđe k vama, gnjevan veoma, znajući da ima malo vremena!«
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.	13 Kad Zmaj vidje da je zbačen na zemlju, stade progoniti Ženu koja rodi muškića.
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.	14 No Ženi bijahu dana dva velika krila orlujska da odleti u pustinju, u svoje sklonište gdje se, sklonjena od Zmije, hrani jedno vrijeme i dva vremena i polovicu vremena.
15 The serpent, however, spewed a torrent of water out of his mouth after the woman to sweep her away with the current.	15 I Zmija iz usta pusti za Ženom vodu poput rijeke da je rijeka odnese.
16 But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth and swallowed the flood that the dragon spewed out of its mouth.	16 Ali zemlja priteče u pomoć Ženi: otvori usta i popi rijeku što je Zmaj pusti iz usta.
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.	17 I razgnjevi se Zmaj na Ženu pa ode i zarati se s ostatkom njezina potomstva, s onima što čuvaju Božje zapovijedi i drže svjedočanstvo Isusovo.
	18 I stade na morski žal.
