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:

Καὶ σημεῖον μέγα ὤφθη ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, γυνὴ περιβεβλημένη τὸν ἥλιον, καὶ ἡ σελήνη ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς στέφανος ἀστέρων δώδεκα,

И҆ зна́менїе ве́лїе ꙗ҆ви́сѧ на небесѝ: жена̀ ѡ҆блече́на въ со́лнце, и҆ лꙋна̀ под̾ нога́ма є҆ѧ̀, и҆ на главѣ̀ є҆ѧ̀ вѣне́цъ ѿ ѕвѣ́здъ двоюна́десѧте:

2

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα ἔκραζεν ὠδίνουσα καὶ βασανιζομένη τεκεῖν.

и҆ во чре́вѣ и҆мꙋ́щи, вопїе́тъ болѧ́щи и҆ стра́ждꙋщи роди́ти.

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.

καὶ ὤφθη ἄλλο σημεῖον ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἰδοὺ δράκων πυρρὸς μέγας, ἔχων κεφαλὰς ἑπτὰ καὶ κέρατα δέκα, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτοῦ ἑπτὰ διαδήματα,

И҆ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ и҆́но зна́менїе на небесѝ: и҆ сѐ, ѕмі́й вели́къ че́рменъ, и҆мѣ́ѧ гла́въ се́дмь и҆ рогѡ́въ де́сѧть, и҆ на глава́хъ є҆гѡ̀ се́дмь вѣнє́цъ:

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.

καὶ ἡ οὐρὰ αὐτοῦ σύρει τὸ τρίτον τῶν ἀστέρων τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἔβαλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν. καὶ ὁ δράκων ἕστηκεν ἐνώπιον τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς μελλούσης τεκεῖν, ἵνα, ὅταν τέκῃ, τὸ τέκνον αὐτῆς καταφάγῃ.

и҆ хо́ботъ є҆гѡ̀ ѿто́рже тре́тїю ча́сть ѕвѣ́здъ небе́сныхъ и҆ положѝ ѧ҆̀ въ зе́млю {пове́рже ѧ҆̀ на зе́млю}. И҆ ѕмі́й стоѧ́ше пред̾ жено́ю хотѧ́щею роди́ти, да, є҆гда̀ роди́тъ, снѣ́сть ча́до є҆ѧ̀.

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.

καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν ἄρρενα, ὃς μέλλει ποιμαίνειν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐν ράβδῳ σιδηρᾷ· καὶ ἡρπάσθη τὸ τέκνον αὐτῆς πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν καὶ πρὸς τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ.

И҆ родѝ сы́на мꙋ́жеска, и҆́же и҆́мать ᲂу҆пастѝ всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки жезло́мъ желѣ́знымъ: и҆ восхище́но бы́сть ча́до є҆ѧ̀ къ бг҃ꙋ и҆ прⷭ҇то́лꙋ є҆гѡ̀.

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.

καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἔφυγεν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, ὅπου ἔχει ἐκεῖ τόπον ἡτοιμασμένον ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἵνα ἐκεῖ τρέφωσιν αὐτὴν ἡμέρας χιλίας διακοσίας ἑξήκοντα.

А҆ жена̀ бѣжа̀ въ пꙋсты́ню, и҆дѣ́же и҆мѣ̀ мѣ́сто ᲂу҆гото́вано ѿ бг҃а, да та́мѡ пита́етсѧ дні́й ты́сѧщꙋ двѣ́стѣ шестьдесѧ́тъ.

7

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Καὶ ἐγένετο πόλεμος ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ· ὁ Μιχαὴλ καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ –τοῦ πολεμῆσαι μετὰ τοῦ δράκοντος· καὶ ὁ δράκων ἐπολέμησε καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ,

И҆ бы́сть бра́нь на нб҃сѝ: мїхаи́лъ и҆ а҆́гг҃ли є҆гѡ̀ бра́нь сотвори́ша со ѕмі́емъ, и҆ ѕмі́й бра́сѧ и҆ а҆́ггели є҆гѡ̀,

8

And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσεν, οὐδὲ τόπος εὑρέθη αὐτῷ ἔτι ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ.

и҆ не возмого́ша, и҆ мѣ́ста не ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ и҆̀мъ ктомꙋ̀ на нб҃сѝ.

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.

καὶ ἐβλήθη ὁ δράκων, ὁ ὄφις ὁ μέγας ὁ ἀρχαῖος, ὁ καλούμενος Διάβολος καὶ ὁ Σατανᾶς, ὁ πλανῶν τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅλην, ἐβλήθη εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐβλήθησαν.

И҆ вложе́нъ {пове́рженъ} бы́сть ѕмі́й вели́кїй, ѕмі́й дре́внїй, нарица́емый дїа́волъ и҆ сатана̀, льстѧ́й вселе́ннꙋю всю̀, и҆ вложе́нъ {пове́рженъ} бы́сть на зе́млю, и҆ а҆́ггели є҆гѡ̀ съ ни́мъ низве́ржени бы́ша.

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.

καὶ ἤκουσα φωνὴν μεγάλην ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ λέγουσαν· ἄρτι ἐγένετο ἡ σωτηρία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐβλήθη ὁ κατήγορος τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν, ὁ κατηγορῶν αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός.

И҆ слы́шахъ гла́съ ве́лїй на нб҃сѝ, гл҃ющь: нн҃ѣ бы́сть спⷭ҇нїе и҆ си́ла и҆ црⷭ҇тво бг҃а на́шегѡ и҆ ѡ҆́бласть хрⷭ҇та̀ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ низложе́нъ бы́сть клеветни́къ бра́тїи на́шеѧ, ѡ҆клевеща́ѧ и҆̀хъ пред̾ бг҃омъ на́шимъ де́нь и҆ но́щь.

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.

καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐνίκησαν αὐτὸν διὰ τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ἀρνίου καὶ διὰ τὸν λόγον τῆς μαρτυρίας αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἠγάπησαν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν ἄχρι θανάτου.

И҆ ті́и побѣди́ша є҆го̀ кро́вїю а҆́гнчею и҆ сло́вомъ свидѣ́тельства своегѡ̀, и҆ не возлюби́ша дꙋ́шъ свои́хъ да́же до сме́рти.

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.

διὰ τοῦτο εὐφραίνεσθε οὐρανοὶ καὶ οἱ ἐν αὐτοῖς σκηνοῦντες· οὐαὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν, ὅτι κατέβη ὁ διάβολος πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἔχων θυμὸν μέγαν, εἰδὼς ὅτι ὀλίγον καιρὸν ἔχει.

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди весели́тесѧ, нб҃са̀ и҆ живꙋ́щїи на ни́хъ. Го́ре живꙋ́щымъ на землѝ и҆ мо́ри, ꙗ҆́кѡ сни́де дїа́волъ къ ва́мъ, и҆мѣ́ѧ ꙗ҆́рость вели́кꙋю, вѣ́дый, ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́мѧ ма́ло и҆́мать.

13

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

Καὶ ὅτε εἶδεν ὁ δράκων ὅτι ἐβλήθη εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἐδίωξε τὴν γυναῖκα ἥτις ἔτεκε τὸν ἄρρενα.

И҆ є҆гда̀ ви́дѣ ѕмі́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ низложе́нъ бы́сть на зе́млю, гонѧ́ше женꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́же родѝ мꙋ́жеска.

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.

καὶ ἐδόθησαν τῇ γυναικὶ δύο πτέρυγες τοῦ ἀετοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου, ἵνα πέτηται εἰς τὴν ἔρημον εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, ὅπως τρέφηται ἐκεῖ καιρὸν καὶ καιροὺς καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ ὄφεως.

И҆ дана̑ бы́ша женѣ̀ два̀ крила̑ ѻ҆рла̀ вели́кагѡ, да пари́тъ въ пꙋсты́ню въ мѣ́сто своѐ, и҆дѣ́же препита́на бѧ́ше тꙋ̀ вре́мѧ и҆ време́нъ и҆ по́лъ вре́мене, ѿ лица̀ ѕмїи́на.

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.

καὶ ἔβαλεν ὁ ὄφις ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ὀπίσω τῆς γυναικὸς ὕδωρ ὡς ποταμόν, ἵνα αὐτὴν ποταμοφόρητον ποιήσῃ.

И҆ и҆спꙋстѝ ѕмі́й за жено́ю и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ свои́хъ во́дꙋ ꙗ҆́кѡ рѣкꙋ̀, да ю҆̀ въ рѣцѣ̀ потопи́тъ.

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.

καὶ ἐβοήθησεν ἡ γῆ τῇ γυναικί, καὶ ἤνοιξεν ἡ γῆ τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς καὶ κατέπιε τὸν ποταμὸν ὃν ἔβαλεν ὁ δράκων ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ.

И҆ помо́же землѧ̀ женѣ̀, и҆ ѿве́рзе землѧ̀ ᲂу҆ста̀ своѧ̑, и҆ пожрѐ рѣкꙋ̀, ю҆́же и҆зведѐ ѕмі́й ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ свои́хъ.

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.

καὶ ὠργίσθη ὁ δράκων ἐπὶ τῇ γυναικί, καὶ ἀπῆλθε ποιῆσαι πόλεμον μετὰ τῶν λοιπῶν τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτῆς, τῶν τηρούντων τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐχόντων τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ.

И҆ разгнѣ́васѧ ѕмі́й на женꙋ̀ и҆ и҆́де сотвори́ти бра́нь со ѡ҆ста́вшимъ сѣ́менемъ є҆ѧ̀, и҆̀же соблюда́ютъ за́пѡвѣди бж҃їѧ и҆ и҆мѣ́ютъ свидѣ́тельство і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́во.
