Apocalypsis Ioannis

Apocalypsis, chapter 12, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 12 Vulgate

   1 Et signum magnum appa ruit in caelo: mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus eius, et super caput eius corona stellarum duodecim;
   2 et in utero habens, et clamat parturiens et cruciatur, ut pariat.
   3 Et visum est aliud signum in caelo: et ecce draco rufus magnus, habens capita septem et cornua decem, et super capita sua septem diademata;
   4 et cauda eius trahit tertiam partem stellarum caeli et misit eas in terram. Et draco stetit ante mulierem, quae erat paritura, ut, cum peperisset, filium eius devoraret.
   5 Et peperit filium, masculum, qui recturus est omnes gentes in virga ferrea; et raptus est filius eius ad Deum et ad thronum eius.
   6 Et mulier fugit in desertum, ubi habet locum paratum a Deo, ut ibi pascant illam diebus mille ducentis sexaginta.
   7 Et factum est proelium in caelo, Michael et angeli eius, ut proeliarentur cum dracone. Et draco pugnavit et angeli eius,
   8 et non valuit, neque locus inventus est eorum amplius in caelo.
   9 Et proiectus est draco ille magnus, serpens antiquus, qui vocatur Diabolus et Satanas, qui seducit universum orbem; proiectus est in terram, et angeli eius cum illo proiecti sunt.
   10 Et audivi vocem magnam in caelo dicentem: "Nunc facta est salus et virtus et regnum Dei nostri et potestas Christi eius, quia proiectus est accusator fratrum nostrorum, qui accusabat illos ante conspectum Dei nostri die ac nocte.
   11 Et ipsi vicerunt illum propter sanguinem Agni et propter verbum testimonii sui; et non dilexerunt animam suam usque ad mortem.
   12 Propterea laetamini, caeli et qui habitatis in eis. Vae terrae et mari, quia descendit Diabolus ad vos habens iram magnam, sciens quod modicum tempus habet!".
   13 Et postquam vidit draco quod proiectus est in terram, persecutus est mulierem, quae peperit masculum.
   14 Et datae sunt mulieri duae alae aquilae magnae, ut volaret in desertum in locum suum, ubi alitur per tempus et tempora et dimidium temporis a facie serpentis.
   15 Et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulierem aquam tamquam flumen, ut eam faceret trahi a flumine.
   16 Et adiuvit terra mulierem, et aperuit terra os suum et absorbuit flumen, quod misit draco de ore suo.
   17 Et iratus est draco in mulierem et abiit facere proelium cum reliquis de semine eius, qui custodiunt mandata Dei et habent testimonium Iesu.
   18 Et stetit super arenam maris.

King James Version

   1 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:
   2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
   3 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.
   4 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.
   5 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.
   6 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.
   7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
   8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
   9 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.
