| 1 ܘܐܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܐܬܚܙܝܬ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܥܛܝܦܐ ܫܡܫܐ ܘܤܗܪܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܝܗ ܘܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܟܘܟܒܐ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܥܠ ܪܫܗ ܀ | 1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and onher head a crown of twelve stars. |
| 2 ܘܒܛܢܐ ܘܩܥܝܐ ܘܡܚܒܠܢ ܐܦ ܡܫܬܢܩܐ ܕܬܐܠܕ ܀ | 2 She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. |
| 3 ܘܐܬܚܙܝܬ ܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܗܐ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܒܥܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܘܥܤܪ ܩܪܢܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܪܫܘܗܝ ܫܒܥܐ ܬܐܓܝܢ ܀ | 3 Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and tenhorns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. |
| 4 ܘܕܘܢܒܗ ܓܪܫܐ ܠܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܟܘܟܒܐ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܡܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܬܢܝܢܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܥܬܝܕܐ ܕܬܐܠܕ ܕܡܐ ܕܝܠܕܬ ܢܐܟܠܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܪܗ ܀ | 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stoppedin front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. |
| 5 ܘܝܠܕܬ ܒܪܐ ܕܟܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܪܥܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܒܫܒܛܐ ܕܦܪܙܠܐ ܘܐܬܚܛܦ ܒܪܗ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܘܬ ܟܘܪܤܝܗ ܀ | 5 The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule al the nations with an iron sceptre, andthe child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, |
| 6 ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܥܪܩܬ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܐܬܪ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܛܝܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܬܪܤܘܢܗ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܐܠܦ ܘܡܐܬܝܢ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܀ | 6 while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked afterfor twelve hundred and sixty days. |
| 7 ܘܗܘܐ ܩܪܒܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܡܝܟܐܝܠ ܘܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܥܡ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܘܬܢܝܢܐ ܘܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܐܩܪܒܘ ܀ | 7 And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragonfought back with his angels, |
| 8 ܘܠܐ ܐܬܡܨܝܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܪܐ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܀ | 8 but they were defeated and driven out of heaven. |
| 9 ܘܐܬܪܡܝ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܘ ܚܘܝܐ ܪܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܘܤܛܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܛܥܝ ܠܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܪܡܝ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܥܡܗ ܐܬܪܡܝܘ ܀ | 9 The great dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan, who had led all the world astray,was hurled down to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him. |
| 10 ܘܫܡܥܬ ܩܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܘܘܙܒܐ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܘܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܕܐܬܪܡܝ ܡܤܘܪܐ ܕܐܚܝܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܤܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܠܝܐ ܘܐܝܡܡܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܢ ܀ | 10 Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, 'Salvation and power and empire for ever have been wonby our God, and all authority for his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day and night beforeour God, has been brought down. |
| 11 ܘܗܢܘܢ ܙܟܘ ܒܕܡܐ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܘܒܝܕ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܚܒܘ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܀ | 11 They have triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word to which they bore witness,because even in the face of death they did not cling to life. |
| 12 ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܬܦܨܚܘ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܫܪܝܢ ܘܝ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܝܡܐ ܥܠ ܕܢܚܬ ܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܡܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܕܩܠܝܠ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܀ | 12 So let the heavens rejoice and al who live there; but for you, earth and sea, disaster is coming --because the devil has gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he has little time left.' |
| 13 ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܕܐܬܪܡܝ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܪܕܦ ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܠܕܬ ܕܟܪܐ ܀ | 13 As soon as the dragon found himself hurled down to the earth, he sprang in pursuit of the woman,the mother of the male child, |
| 14 ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܓܦܝܢ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܬܦܪܚܝ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܕܘܟܬܗ ܠܡܬܬܪܤܝܘ ܬܡܢ ܥܕܢ ܥܕܢܝܢ ܘܦܠܓܘܬ ܥܕܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܦܘܗܝ ܕܚܘܝܐ ܀ | 14 but she was given a pair of the great eagle's wings to fly away from the serpent into the desert, to theplace where she was to be looked after for a time, two times and half a time. |
| 15 ܘܐܪܡܝ ܚܘܝܐ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܒܬܪ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܡܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܗܪܐ ܕܫܩܝܠܬ ܡܝܐ ܢܥܒܕܝܗ ܀ | 15 So the serpent vomited water from his mouth, like a river, after the woman, to sweep her away in thecurrent, |
| 16 ܘܥܕܪܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܦܬܚܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܒܠܥܬܗ ܠܢܗܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܪܡܝ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܀ | 16 but the earth came to her rescue; it opened its mouth and swal owed the river spewed from thedragon's mouth. |
| 17 ܘܪܓܙ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܥܠ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܩܪܒܐ ܥܡ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܙܪܥܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܛܪܝܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀ | 17 Then the dragon was enraged with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of herchildren, who obey God's commandments and have in themselves the witness of Jesus. |
| 18 And I took my stand on the seashore. |
