Ang Babayi kag ang Dragon

12 May makatilingala dayon nga butang nga nagpakita sa langit. Nakita ko ang isa ka babayi nga nagabayo sing adlaw, kag ang bulan didto sa idalom sang iya mga tiil. Kag sa iya ulo may korona nga may dose ka bituon. Manugbata na ang babayi, kag nagauraroy tungod kay nagapasakit na siya.

May isa pa gid ka makatilingala nga butang nga akon nakita sa langit. Malapit sa babayi may dako nga dragon nga pula nga may pito ka ulo kag may napulo ka sungay, kag sa kada ulo may korona. Ginpangahig sang iya ikog ang ikatlo nga parte sang mga bituon kag ginpanghaboy sa duta. Didto siya nagatindog malapit sa babayi nga manugbata agod pagbata sang babayi kaunon niya dayon ang bata. Karon, nagbata ang babayi kag ang iya bata lalaki. Ang ini nga bata amo ang magadumala sa mga nasyon, kag wala gid sing may makakontra sa iya pagdumala. Gani pagkatawo sang bata wala siya makaon sang dragon tungod kay ginsabnit siya dayon kag gindala sa Dios didto sa iya trono. Ang babayi nga nagbata nagpalagyo sa kamingawan nga ginpreparar na nga daan sang Dios para sa iya, agod didto siya atipanon sa sulod sang 1,260 ka adlaw.

Karon, nagsugod ang inaway sa langit. Nagpakig-away si Micael kag ang iya mga kaupod nga mga anghel kontra sa dragon. Nagpakig-away man ang dragon kag ang iya sakop nga mga anghel. Pero napierdi ang dragon, kag siya kag ang iya mga anghel ginpalayas sa langit. Gintabog paguwa ang dako nga dragon. Siya amo atong man-og sang una nga ginatawag nga Yawa ukon Satanas, nga nagapatalang sa mga tawo sa bug-os nga kalibutan. Ginhulog siya diri sa kalibutan pati ang iya sakop nga mga anghel.

10 Pagkatapos sadto, nabatian ko dayon ang mabaskog nga tingog didto sa langit nga nagasiling, “Karon nag-abot na ang oras nga ang mga tawo luwason na sang Dios! Ginapakita na niya subong ang iya gahom bilang Hari kag ang awtoridad ni Cristo nga iya pinili! Kay ginpalayas na sa langit ang manug-akusar sang aton mga utod sa pagtuo. Wala sing pahuway ang iya pag-akusar sa ila sa aton Dios. 11 Pero ginpierdi siya sang aton kapareho nga mga tumuluo paagi sa dugo sang Karnero, kag paagi sa kamatuoran nga ila ginbantala. Kag wala sila nahadlok nga magtaya sang ila kabuhi tungod sa ila pagtuo. 12 Gani magkalipay kamo, kamo nga nagaestar sa langit. Pero kaluluoy kamo nga nagaestar sa duta kag sa dagat, tungod kay nagpanaog na si Satanas dira sa inyo. Naakig gid siya katama tungod kay nahibaluan niya nga malip-ot na gid lang ang iya tion nga nabilin.”

13 Sang matalupangdan sang dragon nga ginhulog na siya sa duta, ginlagas niya dayon ang babayi nga nagbata sing lalaki. 14 Pero ginhatagan ang babayi sing duha ka pakpak nga pareho sa dako nga agila, agod makalupad siya pakadto sa iya lugar sa kamingawan nga sa diin pagaasikasuhon siya sa sulod sang tatlo ka tuig kag tunga, kag indi siya maano sang man-og. 15 Gani nagbuga dayon ang man-og sing madamo nga tubig nga daw sa baha pakadto didto sa babayi agod anuron siya. 16 Pero ginbuligan sang duta ang babayi. Nag-abri ang duta kag ginsuyop ang tubig nga halin sa baba sang dragon. 17 Kag nagdugang pa gid ang kaakig sang dragon sa babayi, gani ang iya ginhimo, nagpakig-away siya sa iban nga mga bata sang babayi. Ini nga mga bata wala sing iban kundi ang tanan nga nagatuman sa mga sugo sang Dios kag nagasunod sa kamatuoran nga ginpanudlo ni Jesus. 18 Kag nagtindog ang dragon sa baybayon.

The Woman and the Dragon

12 A great sign(A) appeared in heaven:(B) a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars(C) on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain(D) as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven:(E) an enormous red dragon(F) with seven heads(G) and ten horns(H) and seven crowns(I) on its heads. Its tail swept a third(J) of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.(K) The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child(L) the moment he was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”[a](M) And her child was snatched up(N) to God and to his throne. The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.(O)

Then war broke out in heaven. Michael(P) and his angels fought against the dragon,(Q) and the dragon and his angels(R) fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent(S) called the devil,(T) or Satan,(U) who leads the whole world astray.(V) He was hurled to the earth,(W) and his angels with him.

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven(X) say:

“Now have come the salvation(Y) and the power
    and the kingdom of our God,
    and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,(Z)
    who accuses them before our God day and night,
    has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over(AA) him
    by the blood of the Lamb(AB)
    and by the word of their testimony;(AC)
they did not love their lives so much
    as to shrink from death.(AD)
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens(AE)
    and you who dwell in them!
But woe(AF) to the earth and the sea,(AG)
    because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
    because he knows that his time is short.”

13 When the dragon(AH) saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.(AI) 14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle,(AJ) so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time,(AK) out of the serpent’s reach. 15 Then from his mouth the serpent(AL) spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. 16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war(AM) against the rest of her offspring(AN)—those who keep God’s commands(AO) and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.(AP)

  1. Revelation 12:5 Psalm 2:9

12 And 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:

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

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

And 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.

And 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.

And 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.

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

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

And 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.

10 And 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.

11 And 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.

12 Therefore 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.

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

14 And 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.

15 And 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.

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

17 And 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.
