12:1

Και σημειον μεγα ωφθη εν τω ουρανω γυνη περιβεβλημενη τον ηλιον και η σεληνη υποκατω των ποδων αυτης και επι της κεφαλης αυτης στεφανος αστερων δωδεκα

And 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;

¹

12:2

και εν γαστρι εχουσα και κραζει ωδινουσα και βασανιζομενη τεκειν

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

12:3

Και ωφθη αλλο σημειον εν τω ουρανω και ιδου δρακων μεγας πυρρος εχων κεφαλας επτα και κερατα δεκα και επι τας κεφαλας αυτου επτα διαδηματα

And 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.

12:4

και η ουρα αυτου συρει το τριτον των αστερων του ουρανου και εβαλεν αυτους εις την γην και ο δρακων εστηκεν ενωπιον της γυναικος της μελλουσης τεκειν ινα οταν τεκη το τεκνον αυτης καταφαγη

And 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.

12:5

Και ετεκεν υιον αρσεν ος μελλει ποιμαινειν παντα τα εθνη εν ραβδω σιδηρα και ηρπασθη το τεκνον αυτης προς τον Θεον και προς τον θρονον αυτου

And 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.

12:6

και η γυνη εφυγεν εις την ερημον οπου εχει εκει τοπον ητοιμασμενον απο του Θεου ινα εκει τρεφωσιν αυτην ημερας χιλιας διακοσιας εξηκοντα

And 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.

12:7

Και εγενετο πολεμος εν τω ουρανω ο Μιχαηλ και οι αγγελοι αυτου του πολεμησαι μετα του δρακοντος και ο δρακων επολεμησεν και οι αγγελοι αυτου

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

12:8

και ουκ ισχυσεν ουδε τοπος ευρεθη αυτων ετι εν τω ουρανω

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

12:9

και εβληθη ο δρακων ο μεγας ο οφις ο αρχαιος ο καλουμενος Διαβολος και Ο Σατανας ο πλανων την οικουμενην ολην εβληθη εις την γην και οι αγγελοι αυτου μετ αυτου εβληθησαν

And 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.

12:10

Και ηκουσα φωνην μεγαλην εν τω ουρανω λεγουσαν Αρτι εγενετο η σωτηρια και η δυναμις και η βασιλεια του Θεου ημων και η εξουσια του Χριστου αυτου οτι εβληθη ο κατηγωρ των αδελφων ημων ο κατηγορων αυτους ενωπιον του Θεου ημων ημερας και νυκτος

And 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.

12:11

και αυτοι ενικησαν αυτον δια το αιμα του Αρνιου και δια τον λογον της μαρτυριας αυτων και ουκ ηγαπησαν την ψυχην αυτων αχρι θανατου

And 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.

12:12

δια τουτο ευφραινεσθε οι ουρανοι και οι εν αυτοις σκηνουντες ουαι την γην και την θαλασσαν οτι κατεβη ο διαβολος προς υμας εχων θυμον μεγαν ειδως οτι ολιγον καιρον εχει

Therefore 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.

12:13

Και οτε ειδεν ο δρακων οτι εβληθη εις την γην εδιωξεν την γυναικα ητις ετεκεν τον αρσενα

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

12:14

και εδοθησαν τη γυναικι αι δυο πτερυγες του αετου του μεγαλου ινα πετηται εις την ερημον εις τον τοπον αυτης οπου τρεφεται εκει καιρον και καιρους και ημισυ καιρου απο προσωπου του οφεως

And 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.

12:15

Και εβαλεν ο οφις εκ του στοματος αυτου οπισω της γυναικος υδωρ ως ποταμον ινα αυτην ποταμοφορητον ποιηση

And 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.

12:16

και εβοηθησεν η γη τη γυναικι και ηνοιξεν η γη το στομα αυτης και κατεπιεν τον ποταμον ον εβαλεν ο δρακων εκ του στοματος αυτου

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

12:17

και ωργισθη ο δρακων επι τη γυναικι και απηλθεν ποιησαι πολεμον μετα των λοιπων του σπερματος αυτης των τηρουντων τας εντολας του Θεου και εχοντων την μαρτυριαν Ιησου

And 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:

12:18

Και εσταθη επι την αμμον της θαλασσης
