¹And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

¹ታላቅ ምልክትም በሰማይ ታየ ፀሐይን ተጐናጽፋ ጨረቃ ከእግሮችዋ በታች ያላት በራስዋም ላይ የአሥራ ሁለት ከዋክብት አክሊል የሆነላት አንዲት ሴት ነበረች።

²And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

²እርስዋም ፀንሳ ነበር፥ ምጥም ተይዛ ልትወልድ ተጭንቃ ጮኸች።

³And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

³ሌላም ምልክት በሰማይ ታየ፤ እነሆም ታላቅ ቀይ ዘንዶ፤ ሰባት ራሶችና አሥር ቀንዶችም ነበሩት በራሶቹም ላይ ሰባት ዘውዶች ነበሩ፥

⁴And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

⁴ጅራቱም የሰማይን ከዋክብት ሲሶ እየሳበ ወደ ምድር ጣላቸው። ዘንዶውም ሴቲቱ በወለደች ጊዜ ሕፃንዋን እንዲበላ ልትወልድ ባላት ሴት ፊት ቆመ።

⁵And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

⁵አሕዛብንም ሁሉ በብረት በትር ይገዛቸው ዘንድ ያለውን ልጅ ወንድ ልጅ ወለደች፤ ልጅዋም ወደ እግዚአብሔርና ወደ ዙፋኑ ተነጠቀ።

⁶And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

⁶ሴቲቱም ሺህ ከሁለት መቶ ስድሳ ቀን በዚያ እንዲመግቡአት በእግዚአብሔር ተዘጋጅቶላት ወደ ነበረው ስፍራ ወደ በረሀ ሸሸች።

⁷And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

⁷በሰማይም ሰልፍ ሆነ፤ ሚካኤልና መላእክቱ ዘንዶውን ተዋጉ። ዘንዶውም ከመላእክቱ ጋር ተዋጋ፥ አልቻላቸውምም፥ ከዚያም ወዲያ በሰማይ ስፍራ አልተገኘላቸውም።

⁸And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

⁹ዓለሙንም ሁሉ የሚያስተው፥ ዲያብሎስና ሰይጣን የሚባለው ታላቁ ዘንዶ እርሱም የቀደመው እባብ ተጣለ፤ ወደ ምድር ተጣለ መላእክቱም ከእርሱ ጋር ተጣሉ።

⁹And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁰ታላቅም ድምፅ በሰማይ ሰማሁ እንዲህ ሲል። አሁን የአምላካችን ማዳንና ኃይል መንግሥትም የክርስቶስም ሥልጣን ሆነ፥ ቀንና ሌሊትም በአምላካችን ፊት የሚከሳቸው የወንድሞቻችን ከሳሽ ተጥሎአልና።

¹⁰And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

¹¹እነርሱም ከበጉ ደም የተነሣ ከምስክራቸውም ቃል የተነሣ ድል ነሡት፥ ነፍሳቸውንም እስከ ሞት ድረስ አልወደዱም።

¹¹And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

¹²ስለዚህ፥ ሰማይና በውስጡ የምታድሩ ሆይ፥ ደስ ይበላችሁ፤ ለምድርና ለባሕር ወዮላቸው፥ ዲያብሎስ ጥቂት ዘመን እንዳለው አውቆ በታላቅ ቍጣ ወደ እናንተ ወርዶአልና።

¹²Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

¹³ዘንዶውም ወደ ምድር እንደ ተጣለ ባየ ጊዜ ወንድ ልጅ የወለደችውን ሴት አሳደዳት።

¹³And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

¹⁴ከእባቡም ፊት ርቃ አንድ ዘመን፥ ዘመናትም፥ የዘመንም እኵሌታ ወደ ምትመገብበት ወደ ስፍራዋ ወደ በረሀ እንድትበር ለሴቲቱ ሁለት የታላቁ ንሥር ክንፎች ተሰጣት።

¹⁴And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

¹⁵እባቡም ሴቲቱ በወንዝ እንድትወሰድ ሊያደርግ ወንዝ የሚያህልን ውኃ ከአፉ በስተ ኋላዋ አፈሰሰ።

¹⁵And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

¹⁶ምድሪቱም ሴቲቱን ረዳቻት፥ ምድሪቱም አፍዋን ከፍታ ዘንዶው ከአፉ ያፈሰሰውን ወንዝ ዋጠችው።

¹⁶And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

¹⁷ዘንዶውም በሴቲቱ ላይ ተቈጥቶ የእግዚአብሔርን ትእዛዛት የሚጠብቁትን የኢየሱስም ምስክር ያላቸውን ከዘርዋ የቀሩትን ሊዋጋ ሄደ፤ በባሕርም አሸዋ ላይ ቆመ።

¹⁷And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
