¹And a great sign was seen in the heaven, a woman arrayed 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 being with child she doth cry out, travailing and pained to bring forth.

²እርስዋም ፀንሳ ነበር፥ ምጥም ተይዛ ልትወልድ ተጭንቃ ጮኸች።

³And there was seen another sign in the heaven, and, lo, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems,

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

⁴and his tail doth draw the third of the stars of the heaven, and he did cast them to the earth; and the dragon did stand before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, her child he may devour;

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

⁵and she brought forth a male child, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and caught away was her child unto God and His throne,

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

⁶and the woman did flee to the wilderness, where she hath a place made ready from God, that there they may nourish her — days a thousand, two hundred, sixty.

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

⁷And there came war in the heaven; Michael and his messengers did war against the dragon, and the dragon did war, and his messengers,

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

⁸and they did not prevail, nor was their place found any more in the 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 forth — the old serpent, who is called `Devil,` and `the Adversary,` who is leading astray the whole world — he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth 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 great voice saying in the heaven, `Now did come the salvation, and the power, and the reign, of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because cast down was the accuser of our brethren, who is accusing them before our God day and night;

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

¹¹and they did overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life — unto death;

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

¹²because of this be glad, ye heavens, and those in them who do tabernacle; wo to those inhabiting the land and the sea, because the Devil did go down unto you, having great wrath, having known that he hath little time.`

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

¹³And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who did bring forth the male,

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

¹⁴and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly to the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished 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 did cast forth after the woman, out of his mouth, water as a river, that he may cause her to be carried away by the river,

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

¹⁶and the land did help the woman, and the land did open its mouth and did swallow up the river, that the dragon did cast forth 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 angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ.
