Apocalipsis de Juan 12

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Una gran señal apareció en el cielo: una Mujer, vestida del sol, con la luna bajo sus pies, y una corona de doce estrellas sobre su cabeza;	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.
2 está encinta, y grita con los dolores del parto y con el tormento de dar a luz.	2 And being with child, she cried out while giving birth, and she was suffering in order to give birth.
3 Y apareció otra señal en el cielo: un gran Dragón rojo, con siete cabezas y diez cuernos, y sobre sus cabezas siete diademas.	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.
4 Su cola arrastra la tercera parte de las estrellas del cielo y las precipitó sobre la tierra. El Dragón se detuvo delante de la Mujer que iba a dar a luz, para devorar a su Hijo en cuanto lo diera a luz.	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.
5 La mujer dio a luz un Hijo varón, el que ha de regir a todas las naciones con cetro de hierro; y su hijo fue arrebatado hasta Dios y hasta su trono.	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.
6 Y la mujer huyó al desierto, donde tiene un lugar preparado por Dios para ser allí alimentada 1.260 días.	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.
7 Entonces se entabló una batalla en el cielo: Miguel y sus Angeles combatieron con el Dragón. También el Dragón y sus Angeles combatieron,	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.
8 pero no prevalecieron y no hubo ya en el cielo lugar para ellos.	8 But they did not prevail, and a place for them was no longer found in heaven.
9 Y fue arrojado el gran Dragón, la Serpiente antigua, el llamado Diablo y Satanás, el seductor del mundo entero; fue arrojado a la tierra y sus Angeles fueron arrojados con él.	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.
10 Oí entonces una fuerte voz que decía en el cielo: «Ahora ya ha llegado la salvación, el poder y el reinado de nuestro Dios y la potestad de su Cristo, porque ha sido arrojado el acusador de nuestros hermanos, el que los acusaba día y noche delante de nuestro Dios.	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.
11 Ellos lo vencieron gracias a la sangre del Cordero y a la palabra de testimonio que dieron, porque despreciaron su vida ante la muerte.	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.
12 Por eso, regocijaos, cielos y los que en ellos habitáis. ¡Ay de la tierra y del mar! porque el Diablo ha bajado donde vosotros con gran furor, sabiendo que le queda poco tiempo».	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.”
13 Cuando el Dragón vio que había sido arrojado a la tierra, persiguió a la Mujer que había dado a luz al Hijo varón.	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.
14 Pero se le dieron a la Mujer las dos alas del águila grande para volar al desierto, a su lugar, lejos del Dragón, donde tiene que ser alimentada un tiempo y tiempos y medio tiempo.	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.
15 Entonces el Dragón vomitó de sus fauces como un río de agua, detrás de la Mujer, para arrastrarla con su corriente.	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.
16 Pero la tierra vino en auxilio de la Mujer: abrió la tierra su boca y tragó el río vomitado de las fauces del Dragón.	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.
17 Entonces despechado contra la Mujer, se fue a hacer la guerra al resto de sus hijos, los que guardan los mandamientos de Dios y mantienen el testimonio de Jesús.	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.
18 Yo estaba en pie sobre la arena del mar.	18 And he stood upon the sand of the sea.
