Apocalipsis 12
Nueva Biblia Viva
La mujer y el dragón
12 Entonces apareció en el cielo una señal maravillosa: una mujer revestida del sol, con la luna bajo sus pies y una corona de doce estrellas en la cabeza.
2 Estaba embarazada y gritaba con dolores de parto.
3 De pronto apareció en el cielo otra señal: un enorme dragón rojo con siete cabezas, diez cuernos y una corona en cada cabeza. 4 Con la cola arrastró tras sí una tercera parte de las estrellas y las arrojó sobre la tierra. Luego se detuvo frente a la mujer en el momento mismo en que iba a dar a luz, a fin de comerse al niño tan pronto como naciera.
5 La mujer dio a luz un hijo varón que gobernará las naciones con mano fuerte. Inmediatamente le arrebataron a su hijo y lo llevaron ante Dios y su trono. 6 La mujer huyó al desierto, donde Dios le tenía preparado un lugar en el que la sustentarían durante mil doscientos sesenta días.
7 Se libró entonces una gran batalla en el cielo. Miguel y los ángeles que están bajo su mando pelearon contra el dragón y sus huestes de ángeles. 8 Estos últimos, una vez vencidos, fueron expulsados del cielo. 9 ¡Aquel gran dragón, que no es otro sino la serpiente antigua que se llama diablo o Satanás, y engaña a todo el mundo, fue arrojado a la tierra junto con la totalidad de su ejército!
10 Escuché entonces que una potente voz proclamaba en el cielo:
«¡Al fin llegó la salvación, el poder y el reino de nuestro Dios, y la autoridad de su Cristo!, porque el acusador de nuestros hermanos, el que los acusaba día y noche ante Dios, ha sido expulsado del cielo.
11 Ellos lo vencieron con la sangre del Cordero y por el mensaje del que dieron testimonio, pues teniendo en poco sus vidas, no evitaron la muerte.
12 ¡Regocíjense, oh cielos! ¡Regocíjense, habitantes de los cielos! ¡Pero pobres de ustedes, habitantes de la tierra y del mar, porque el diablo ha bajado rabiando de furia por el poco tiempo que le queda!».
13 Cuando el dragón vio que lo habían arrojado a la tierra, corrió en persecución de la mujer que dio a luz al niño. 14 Pero la mujer recibió dos alas de una gran águila y pudo volar al lugar que se le había preparado en el desierto, donde durante tres años y medio la habrían de sustentar, lejos de la serpiente.
15 La serpiente, que iba tras la mujer, arrojó por su hocico un caudal de agua que corrió como torrente hacia la mujer; 16 pero la tierra, para ayudarla, abrió la boca y se tragó el torrente.
17 Furioso al darse cuenta de esto, el dragón se propuso atacar a los demás hijos de la mujer, que son los que guardan los mandamientos de Dios y dan testimonio de Jesús.
Revelation 12
King James Version
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:
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.
Revelation 12
English Standard Version
The Woman and the Dragon
12 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman (A)clothed with (B)the sun, with (C)the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was pregnant and (D)was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great (E)red dragon, (F)with seven heads and (G)ten horns, and on his heads (H)seven diadems. 4 His tail swept down (I)a third of the stars of heaven and (J)cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child (K)he might devour it. 5 She gave birth to a male child, (L)one who is to rule[a] all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was (M)caught up to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for (N)1,260 days.
Satan Thrown Down to Earth
7 Now war arose in heaven, (O)Michael and (P)his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And (Q)the great dragon was thrown down, (R)that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, (S)the deceiver of the whole world—(T)he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now (U)the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers[b] has been thrown down, (V)who accuses them day and night before our God. 11 And (W)they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for (X)they loved not their lives (Y)even unto death. 12 Therefore, (Z)rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But (AA)woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because (AB)he knows that his time is short!”
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued (AC)the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two (AD)wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent (AE)into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished (AF)for a time, and times, and half a time. 15 The serpent poured water (AG)like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. 16 But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. 17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off (AH)to make war on the rest of (AI)her offspring, (AJ)on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to (AK)the testimony of Jesus. And he stood[c] on the sand of the sea.
