1Pea naʻe hā mai ʻae meʻa fakaofo lahi ʻi he langi; ko e fefine kuo kofuʻaki ʻae laʻā, pea ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae māhina, pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu ʻae pale ʻoe fetuʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua:
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.
2Pea naʻe feitama ia pea tangi, ʻo langā, pea mamahi ke fānau.
2She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.
3Pea naʻe hā mai mo e meʻa fakaofo ʻe taha ʻi he langi; pea vakai, ko e fuʻu ngata lahi naʻe kulokula, kuo fitu hono ʻulu, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae nifo ʻe hongofulu, pea fitu ʻae pale ʻi hono ngaahi ʻulu.
3Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
4Pea naʻe toho ʻaki ʻe hono iku hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu ʻo e langi, ʻo ne lī hifo ʻakinautolu ki he fonua: pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae fuʻu ngata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fefine naʻe teu ke fānau, koeʻuhi, ka fanauʻi leva ʻene tamasiʻi, ke ne kai ʻo ʻosi ia.
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.
5Pea ne fanauʻi ʻae tamasiʻi tangata, ʻaia te ne puleʻi ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae vaʻa ukamea: pea naʻe toʻo hake ʻene tamasiʻi ki he ʻOtua, pea ki hono nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.
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.
6Pea naʻe hola ʻae fefine ki he toafa, ʻaia ʻoku ai hono potu kuo teu ʻe he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke nau fafanga ia ʻi ai ko e ʻaho ʻe taha afe ma uangeau ma onongofulu.
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.
7Pea naʻe fai ʻa ʻetau ʻi he langi: ko Maikeli mo ʻene kau ʻāngelo naʻa nau tauʻi ʻae fuʻu ngata; pea naʻe tau ʻae fuʻu ngata mo ʻene kau ʻāngelo.
7There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.
8Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ikuna; pea naʻe ʻikai kei ʻilo hanau potu ʻi he langi.
8They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.
9Pea naʻe lī kituʻa ʻae fuʻu ngata lahi, ʻae ngata motuʻa ko ia, ʻoku ui ko Tēvolo, mo Sētane, ʻaia ʻoku ne kākaaʻi ʻa māmani kotoa pē: naʻe lī ia kituʻa ki he fonua, pea naʻe lī kituʻa mo ia ʻa ʻene kau ʻāngelo.
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.
10Pea ne u ongoʻi ʻae leʻo lahi ʻi he langi, naʻe pehē, “Ko eni kuo hoko mai ʻae fakamoʻui, mo e mālohi, mo e puleʻanga ʻo hotau ʻOtua, mo e mālohi ʻo hono Kalaisi: he kuo lī ki lalo ʻae fakakovi ʻo hotau kāinga, ʻaia naʻa ne fakakoviʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo hotau ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.
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.
11Pea naʻa nau ikuna ia ʻaki ʻae taʻataʻa ʻoe Lami, mo e lea ʻo ʻenau fakamoʻoni; pea naʻe ʻikai te nau mamae ki heʻenau moʻui ka nau mate.
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.
12Ko ia ke fiefia, ʻae ngaahi langi, mo kimoutolu ʻoku nofo ai. ʻE malaʻia ʻae kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi he maama na mo e tahi! He kuo ʻalu hifo ʻae tēvolo kiate kimoutolu, kuo ʻita lahi, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻoku fuoloa siʻi pe hono kuonga.”
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.”
13Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he fuʻu ngata kuo lī ia ki he māmani, naʻa ne fakatangaʻi ʻae fefine ne ne fanauʻi ʻae tamasiʻi tangata.
13When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
14Pea naʻe foaki ki he fefine ʻae kapakau ʻe ua ʻoe ʻikale lahi, ke ne puna ʻaki ia ki he toafa, ki hono potu, ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ai ia ʻi ha kuonga, mo e ngaahi kuonga, mo e vaeua mālieʻanga ʻoe kuonga, mei he ʻao ʻoe ngata.
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, times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15Pea naʻe puʻaki ʻe he ngata ki he fefine ʻae vai mei hono ngutu ʻo hangē ha vaitafe, koeʻuhi ke ne fai ke ʻauhia ia ʻi he vai.
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.
16Pea naʻe tokoniʻi ʻae fefine ʻe he fonua, pea matoʻo ʻe he fonua hono ngutu, ʻo ne folo hifo ʻae vai, ʻaia naʻe puʻaki ʻe he fuʻu ngata mei hono ngutu.
16The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.
17Pea naʻe ʻita ʻae fuʻu ngata ki he fefine, ʻo ne ʻalu ke tauʻi hono toe ʻo hono hako, ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻae ʻOtua, pea maʻu mo e fakamoʻoni ʻo Sisu Kalaisi.
17The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God’s commandments and hold Jesus’ testimony.
