1 Και σημειον μεγα εφανη εν τω ουρανω, γυνη ενδεδυμενη τον ηλιον, και η σεληνη υποκατω των ποδων αυτης, και επι της κεφαλης αυτης στεφανος αστερων δωδεκα,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 και εγκυος ουσα εκραζε κοιλοπονουσα και βασανιζομενη δια να γεννηση.2 And being with child, she cried out while giving birth, and she was suffering in order to give birth.
3 Και εφανη αλλο σημειον εν τω ουρανω, και ιδου, δρακων μεγας κοκκινος, εχων κεφαλας επτα και κερατα δεκα, και επι τας κεφαλας αυτου διαδηματα επτα,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 και η ουρα αυτου εσυρε το τριτον των αστερων του ουρανου και ερριψεν αυτους εις την γην. Και ο δρακων εσταθη ενωπιον της γυναικος της μελλουσης να γεννηση, δια να καταφαγη το τεκνον αυτης, οταν γεννηση.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 Και εγεννησε παιδιον αρρεν, το οποιον μελλει να ποιμανη παντα τα εθνη εν ραβδω σιδηρα? και το τεκνον αυτης ηρπασθη προς τον Θεον και τον θρονον αυτου.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 Και η γυνη εφυγεν εις την ερημον, οπου εχει τοπον ητοιμασμενον απο του Θεου, δια να τρεφωσιν αυτην εκει ημερας χιλιας διακοσιας εξηκοντα.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 Και εγεινε πολεμος εν τω ουρανω? ο Μιχαηλ και οι αγγελοι αυτου επολεμησαν κατα του δρακοντος? και ο Δρακων επολεμησε και οι αγγελοι αυτου,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 και δεν υπερισχυσαν, ουδε ευρεθη πλεον τοπος αυτων εν τω ουρανω.8 But they did not prevail, and a place for them was no longer found in heaven.
9 Και ερριφθη ο δρακων ο μεγας, ο οφις ο αρχαιος, ο καλουμενος Διαβολος και ο Σατανας, ο πλανων την οικουμενην ολην, ερριφθη εις την γην, και οι αγγελοι αυτου ερριφθησαν μετ' αυτου.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 Και ηκουσα φωνην μεγαλην λεγουσαν εν τω ουρανω? Τωρα εγεινεν η σωτηρια και δυναμις και η βασιλεια του Θεου ημων και η εξουσια τον Χριστου αυτου, διοτι κατερριφθη ο κατηγορος των αδελφων ημων, ο κατηγορων αυτους ενωπιον του Θεου ημων ημεραν και νυκτα.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 Και αυτοι ενικησαν αυτον δια το αιμα του Αρνιου και δια τον λογον της μαρτυριας αυτων, και δεν ηγαπησαν την ψυχην αυτων μεχρι θανατου.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 Δια τουτο ευφραινεσθε οι ουρανοι και οι κατοικουντες εν αυτοις? ουαι εις τους κατοικουντας την γην και την θαλασσαν, διοτι κατεβη ο διαβολος εις εσας εχων θυμον μεγαν, επειδη γνωριζει οτι ολιγον καιρον εχει.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 Και οτε ειδεν ο δρακων οτι ερριφθη εις την γην, εδιωξε την γυναικα, ητις εγεννησε τον αρρενα.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 Και εδοθησαν εις την γυναικα δυο πτερυγες του αετου του μεγαλου, δια να πετα εις την ερημον εις τον τοπον αυτης, οπου τρεφεται εκει καιρον και καιρους και ημισυ καιρου απο προσωπου του οφεως.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 Και ερριψεν ο οφις οπισω της γυναικος εκ του στοματος αυτου υδωρ ως ποταμον, δια να καμη να συρη αυτην ο ποταμος.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 Και εβοηθησεν την γυναικα και ηνοιξεν η γη, το στομα αυτης και κατεπιε τον ποταμον, τον οποιον ερριψεν ο δρακων εκ του στοματος αυτου.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 Και ωργισθη ο δρακων κατα της γυναικος και υπηγε να καμη πολεμον με τους λοιπους του σπερματος αυτης, τους φυλαττοντας τας εντολας του Θεου και εχοντας την μαρτυριαν του Ιησου Χριστου.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 And he stood upon the sand of the sea.
