¹A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

¹Og et stort Tegn blev set i Himmelen: en Kvinde, iklædt Solen og med Månen under sine Fødder og en Krans af tolv Stjerner på sit Hoved.

²She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.

²Og hun var frugtsommelig og skreg i Barnsnød, under Fødselsveer.

³Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.

³Og et andet Tegn blev set i Himmelen, og se, der var en stor, ildrød Drage, som havde syv Hoveder og ti Horn og på sine Hoveder syv Kroner.

⁴His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.

⁴Og dens Hale drog Tredjedelen af Himmelens Stjerner med sig og kastede dem på Jorden. Og Dragen stod foran Kvinden, som skulde føde, for at sluge hendes Barn, når hun havde født det.

⁵She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.

⁵Og hun fødte et Drengebarn, som skal vogte alle Folkeslagene med en Jernstav; og hendes Barn blev bortrykket til Gud og til hans Trone.

⁶The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.

⁶Og Kvinden flyede ud i Ørkenen,hvor hun har et Sted beredt fra Gud, for at man skal ernære hende der eet Tusinde, to Hundrede og tresindstyve Dage.

⁷There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.

⁷Og der blev en Kamp i Himmelen: Mikael og hans Engle gave sig til at kæmpe imod Dragen, og Dragen kæmpede og dens Engle.

⁸They didn’t prevail, neither was a place found for him any more in heaven.

⁸Men de magtede det ikke, og deres Sted fandtes ikke mere i Himmelen.

⁹The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

⁹Og den store Drage blev nedstyrtet; den gamle Slange, som kaldes Djævelen og Satan, som forfører den hele Verden, blev nedstyrtet på Jorden, og hans Engle bleve nedstyrtede med ham.

¹⁰I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.

¹⁰Og jeg hørte en høj Røst i Himmelen sige: Nu er Frelsen og Kraften og Riget blevet vor Guds, og Magten hans Salvedes; thi nedstyrtet er vore Brødres Anklager, som anklagede dem for vor Gud Dag og Nat.

¹¹They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.

¹¹Og de have overvundet ham i Kraft af Lammets Blod og i Kraft af deres Vidnesbyrds Ord; og de elskede ikke deres Liv, lige til Døden.

¹²Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”

¹²Derfor, fryder eder, I Himle, og I, som bo i dem! Ve Jorden og Havet! thi Djævelen er nedstegen til eder og har stor Vrede, fordi han ved, at han kun har liden Tid.

¹³When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.

¹³Og da Dragen så, at den var styrtet til Jorden, forfulgte den Kvinden, som havde født Drengebarnet.

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

¹⁴Og den store Ørns tvende Vinger bleve givne Kvinden, for at hun skulde flyve til Ørkenen, til sit Sted, der hvor hun næres en Tid og Tider og en halv Tid, borte fra Slangen.

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

¹⁵Og Slangen spyede Vand som en Flod ud af sin Mund efter Kvinden for at bortskylle hende med Floden.

¹⁶The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.

¹⁶Og Jorden kom Kvinden til Hjælp; og Jorden åbnede sin Mund og opslugte Floden, som Dragen havde udspyet af sin Mund.

¹⁷The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep God’s commandments and hold Jesus’ testimony.

¹⁷Og Dragen vrededes på Kvinden og gik bort for at føre Krig imod de øvrige af hendes Sæd, dem, som holde Guds Bud og have Jesu Vidnesbyrd.
