¹Zvino kudenga kwakaonekwa chishamiso chikuru ichi: Mukadzi, wakakapfeka zuva, nemwedzi uri pasi petsoka dzake, nepamusoro wake korona yenyeredzi gumi nembiri;

¹And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;

²iye wakange ane mimba akachema achirwadziwa pakupona kwake, achitambudzika pakuzvara.

²and she was the child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered.

³Zvino kwakaonekwa chimwe chishamiso kudenga, Tarira, zibukanana ziguru zidzvuku rine misoro minomwe, nenyanga gumi nekorona nomwe pamisoro yaro.

³And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.

⁴Muswe waro wakakweva chetatu chenyeredzi dzekudenga, ndokudzikandira panyika; zibukanana rikamira pamberi pemukadzi wakange ozvara, kuti riparadze mwana wake kana angozvara.

⁴And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.

⁵Akazvara mwana wemukomana, waizotonga marudzi ose netsvimbo yedare; mwana wake ndokutorwa kumusoro kuna Mwari nekuchigaro chake cheushe.

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

⁶Mukadzi akatizira murenje, paakagadzirirwa nzvimbo naMwari, kuti vamuriritira mazuva churu nemazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu.

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

⁷Zvino kukava nehondo kudenga; Mikaeri nevatumwa vake vakarwa nezibukanana, zibukanana rikarwa rine vatumwa varo;

⁷And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels [going forth] to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;

⁸vakasakunda, nenzvimbo yaro haina kuzowanikwa kudenga.

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

⁹Zvino zibukanana ziguru rakakandirwa kunze, iya nyoka yekare, inonzi Dhiabhorosi uye Satani, inonyengera nyika yose; yakakandirwa panyika, nevatumwa vayo vakakandirwa pasi pamwe nayo.

⁹And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

¹⁰Zvino ndakanzwa inzwi guru kudenga richiti: Zvino ruponeso rwasvika, nesimba, neushe hwaMwari wedu, nesimba raKristu wake; nekuti mupomeri wehama dzedu wakandirwa pasi, wakavapomera pamberi paMwari wedu masikati neusiku.

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

¹¹Zvino ivo vakamukunda neropa reGwayana, neshoko reuchapupu hwavo; uye havana kuda upenyu hwavo kusvikira parufu.

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

¹²Saka farai matenga nemwi munogara maari. Mune nhamo vagari vemunyika nevegungwa, nekuti dhiabhorosi wakaburukira kwamuri akatsamwa kwazvo, nekuti unoziva kuti uchine nguva duku.

¹²Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

¹³Zvino zubukanana rakati raona kuti rakandirwa panyika rikashusha mukadzi wakazvara murume.

¹³And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man [child].

¹⁴Ipapo kumukadzi kukapiwa mapapiro maviri egondo guru, kuti abhururukire kurenje kunzvimbo yake, kwaanonoriritirwa kwenguva nedzimwe nguva nehafu yenguva, abve pauso hwenyoka.

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

¹⁵Zvino nyoka yakabudisa mvura mumuromo mayo yakaita serwizi shure kwemukadzi kuti amukonzere kuti akukurwe nerwizi.

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

¹⁶Zvino nyika yakabatsira mukadzi, nyika ndokushamisa muromo wayo, ikamedza rwizi rwakabudiswa nezibukanana mumuromo maro.

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

¹⁷Zvino zibukanana rakatsamwira mukadzi, rikaenda kunoita hondo nevakasara vembeu yake vanochengeta mirairo yaMwari, vane uchapupu hwaJesu Kristu.

¹⁷And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
