啟示錄 12
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1天上現出大異象來：有一個婦人身披日頭，腳踏月亮，頭戴十二星的冠冕。
1And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:
2她懷了孕，在生產的艱難中疼痛呼叫。
2And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered.
3天上又現出異象來：有一條大紅龍，七頭十角；七頭上戴着七個冠冕。
3And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his head seven diadems:
4牠的尾巴拖拉着天上星辰的三分之一，摔在地上。龍就站在那將要生產的婦人面前，等她生產之後，要吞吃她的孩子。
4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son.
5婦人生了一個男孩子，是將來要用鐵杖轄管萬國的；她的孩子被提到上帝寶座那裏去了。
5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne.
6婦人就逃到曠野，在那裏有上帝給她預備的地方，使她被養活一千二百六十天。
6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days.
7在天上就有了爭戰。 米迦勒 同他的使者與龍爭戰，龍也同牠的使者去爭戰，
7And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels:
8並沒有得勝，天上再沒有牠們的地方。
8And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9大龍就是那古蛇，名叫魔鬼，又叫撒但，是迷惑普天下的。牠被摔在地上，牠的使者也一同被摔下去。
9And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world; and he was cast unto the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
10我聽見在天上有大聲音說：「我上帝的救恩、能力、國度，並他基督的權柄，現在都來到了！因為那在我們上帝面前晝夜控告我們弟兄的，已經被摔下去了。
10And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night.
11弟兄勝過牠，是因羔羊的血和自己所見證的道。他們雖至於死，也不愛惜性命。
11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death.
12所以，諸天和住在其中的，你們都快樂吧！只是地與海有禍了！因為魔鬼知道自己的時候不多，就氣忿忿地下到你們那裏去了。」
12Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
13龍見自己被摔在地上，就逼迫那生男孩子的婦人。
13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the man child:
14於是有大鷹的兩個翅膀賜給婦人，叫她能飛到曠野，到自己的地方，躲避那蛇；她在那裏被養活一載二載半載。
14And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15蛇就在婦人身後，從口中吐出水來，像河一樣，要將婦人沖去。
15And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman, water as it were a river; that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
16地卻幫助婦人，開口吞了從龍口吐出來的水。
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.
17龍向婦人發怒，去與她其餘的兒女爭戰，這兒女就是那守上帝誡命、為耶穌作見證的。
17And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
18那時龍就站在海邊的沙上。
18And he stood upon the sand of the sea.
