[우리말성경]제12장
여자와 용
1. 하늘에 큰 표징이 나타났습니다. 한 여자가 태양을 입고 있고 두 발 아래는 달이 있고 머리에는 열두 별의 면류관을 쓰고 있었습니다.
2. 여자가 아이를 임신하고 해산할 때가 돼 진통과 괴로움으로 울부짖었습니다.
3. 그때 또 다른 표징이 하늘에 나타났습니다. 일곱 머리와 열 뿔을 가진 큰 붉은 용이 나타났는데 그 머리에는 일곱 면류관을 쓰고 있습니다.
4. 용은 꼬리로 하늘에서 별들의 3분의 1을 끌어다가 땅으로 내던졌습니다. 용은 막 해산하려고 하는 여자 앞에 섰는데 이것은 그녀가 아이를 낳을 때 삼키기 위한 것이었습니다.
5. 여자가 아들을 낳았는데 그 사내아이는 장차 쇠지팡이로 만국을 다스릴 분입니다. 그때 그녀의 아이는 하나님 보좌 앞으로 들려 올라갔습니다. 시2:9
6. 여자는 광야로 도망쳤습니다. 거기서 그녀는 하나님께로부터 예비된 장소를 얻었습니다. 이는 거기서 사람들이 그녀를 1260 일 동안 돌보기 위한 것이었습니다.
7. 그때 하늘에는 전쟁이 일어났습니다. 미가엘과 그의 천사들이 용과 대적해 싸우고 용도 이에 맞서 자기의 사자들과 함께 싸웠으나
8. 용이 이기지 못했으므로 그들은 하늘에서 더 이상 있을 곳을 찾지 못했습니다.
9. 큰 용, 옛 뱀, 곧 마귀와 사탄이라고도 하는 이, 온 세상을 현혹시키는 이가 쫓겨났습니다. 그의 사자들도 그와 함께 쫓겨났습니다.
10. 그때 나는 하늘에서 큰 음성이 이렇게 말씀하시는 것을 들었습니다. “이제 구원과 능력과 우리 하나님의 나라와 그의 그리스도의 권세가 확립됐으니 이는 우리 형제들을 고소하던 이, 곧 우리 하나님 앞에서 밤낮으로 그들을 고소하던 이가 쫓겨났기 때문이다.
11. 그들은 어린 양의 피와 그들이 증거하는 말씀을 인해 그를 이겼고 죽기까지 자기 목숨을 아끼지 않았다.
12. 그러므로 하늘과 그 안에 거하는 사람들아, 즐거워하라. 그러나 땅과 바다에 재앙이 있을 것이니 이는 마귀가 자기의 때가 얼마 남지 않은 줄 알고 분을 품고 너희에게 내려갔기 때문이다.”
13. 용은 자기가 땅으로 쫓겨난 것을 알고 사내아이를 낳은 여자를 쫓아갔습니다.
14. 그때 그녀에게 큰 독수리의 두 날개가 주어졌습니다. 그래서 그녀는 광야, 곧 그녀의 거처로 날아가 거기서 뱀의 낯을 피해 한 때와 두 때와 반 때 동안 부양을 받았습니다.
15. 뱀이 자기 입에서 여자의 등 뒤에 물을 강같이 토해 내어 그 물로 그녀를 휩쓸어 버리려고 했습니다.
16. 그러나 땅이 여자를 도와 그 입을 벌려 용이 그 입에서 토해 낸 강물을 삼켰습니다.
17. 그러자 용이 여자에게 분노를 품고 여자의 후손의 남은 사람들, 곧 하나님의 계명을 지키고 예수의 증거를 붙잡고 있는 사람들과 더불어 전쟁을 하려고 떠나가 바닷가 모래 위에 섰습니다.
[NIV]제12장
1. A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
2. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
3. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads.
4. His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born.
5. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
6. The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
7. And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
8. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
9. The great dragon was hurled down -- that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
10. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
11. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
12. Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."
13. When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
14. The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent's reach.
15. Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent.
16. But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
17. Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring -- those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
[헬라어]제12장
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
2. και εν γαστρι εχουσα κραζει ωδινουσα και βασανιζομενη τεκειν
3. και ωφθη αλλο σημειον εν τω ουρανω και ιδου δρακων μεγας πυρρος εχων κεφαλας επτα και κερατα δεκα και επι τας κεφαλας αυτου διαδηματα επτα
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
5. και ετεκεν υιον αρρενα ος μελλει ποιμαινειν παντα τα εθνη εν ραβδω σιδηρα και ηρπασθη το τεκνον αυτης προς τον θεον και τον θρονον αυτου
6. και η γυνη εφυγεν εις την ερημον οπου εχει τοπον ητοιμασμενον απο του θεου ινα εκει τρεφωσιν αυτην ημερας χιλιας διακοσιας εξηκοντα
7. και εγενετο πολεμος εν τω ουρανω ο μιχαηλ και οι αγγελοι αυτου επολεμησαν κατα του δρακοντος και ο δρακων επολεμησεν και οι αγγελοι αυτου
8. και ουκ ισχυσαν ουτε τοπος ευρεθη αυτων ετι εν τω ουρανω
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
10. και ηκουσα φωνην μεγαλην λεγουσαν εν τω ουρανω αρτι εγενετο η σωτηρια και η δυναμις και η βασιλεια του θεου ημων και η εξουσια του χριστου αυτου οτι κατεβληθη ο κατηγορος των αδελφων ημων ο κατηγορων αυτων ενωπιον του θεου ημων ημερας και νυκτος
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
12. δια τουτο ευφραινεσθε οι ουρανοι και οι εν αυτοις σκηνουντες ουαι τοις κατοικουσιν την γην και την θαλασσαν οτι κατεβη ο διαβολος προς υμας εχων θυμον μεγαν ειδως οτι ολιγον καιρον εχει
13. και οτε ειδεν ο δρακων οτι εβληθη εις την γην εδιωξεν την γυναικα ητις ετεκεν τον αρρενα
14. και εδοθησαν τη γυναικι 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
15. και εβαλεν ο οφις οπισω της γυναικος εκ του στοματος αυτου υδωρ ως ποταμον ινα ταυτην ποταμοφορητον ποιηση
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
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 του ιησου χριστου και εσταθην επι την αμμον της θαλασσης
