12:1  et signum magnum paruit in caelo       1.  And there appeared a great wonder
mulier amicta sole et luna sub pedibus       in heaven; a woman clothed with the
eius et in capite eius corona stellarum      sun, and the moon under her feet, and
duodecim                                     upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

12:2  et in utero habens et clamat           2.  And she being with child cried,
parturiens et cruciatur ut pariat            travailing in birth, and pained to be
                                             delivered.

12:3  et visum est aliud signum in           3.  And there appeared another wonder
caelo et ecce draco magnus rufus habens      in heaven; and behold a great red
capita septem et cornua decem et in          dragon, having seven heads and ten
capitibus suis septem diademata              horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

12:4  et cauda eius trahebat tertiam         4.  And his tail drew the third part of
partem stellarum caeli et misit eas in       the stars of heaven, and did cast them
terram et draco stetit ante mulierem         to the earth: and the dragon stood
quae erat paritura ut cum peperisset         before the woman which was ready to be
filium eius devoraret                        delivered, for to devour her child as
                                             soon as it was born.

12:5  et peperit filium masculum qui         5.  And she brought forth a man child,
recturus erit omnes gentes in virga          who was to rule all nations with a rod
ferrea et raptus est filius eius ad          of iron: and her child was caught up
Deum et ad thronum eius                      unto God, and to his throne.

12:6  et mulier fugit in solitudinem         6.  And the woman fled into the
ubi habet locum paratum a Deo ut ibi         wilderness, where she hath a place
pascant illam diebus mille ducentis          prepared of God, that they should feed
sexaginta                                    her there a thousand two hundred and
                                             threescore days.

12:7  et factum est proelium in caelo        7.  And there was war in heaven:
Michahel et angeli eius proeliabantur        Michael and his angels fought against
cum dracone et draco pugnabat et angeli      the dragon; and the dragon fought and
eius                                         his angels,

12:8  et non valuerunt neque locus           8.  And prevailed not; neither was
inventus est eorum amplius in caelo          their place found any more in heaven.

12:9  et proiectus est draco ille            9.  And the great dragon was cast out,
magnus serpens antiquus qui vocatur          that old serpent, called the Devil, and
Diabolus et Satanas qui seducit              Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:
universum orbem proiectus est in terram      he was cast out into the earth, and his
et angeli eius cum illo missi sunt           angels were cast out with him.

12:10  et audivi vocem magnam in caelo       10.  And I heard a loud voice saying in
dicentem nunc facta est salus et virtus      heaven, Now is come salvation, and
et regnum Dei nostri et potestas             strength, and the kingdom of our God,
Christi eius quia proiectus est              and the power of his Christ: for the
accusator fratrum nostrorum qui              accuser of our brethren is cast down,
accusabat illos ante conspectum Dei          which accused them before our God day
nostri die ac nocte                          and night.

12:11  et ipsi vicerunt illum propter        11.  And they overcame him by the blood
sanguinem agni et propter verbum             of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimonii sui et non dilexerunt animam      testimony; and they loved not their
suam usque ad mortem                         lives unto the death.

12:12  propterea laetamini caeli et qui      12.  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and
habitatis in eis vae terrae et mari          ye that dwell in them. Woe to the
quia descendit diabolus ad vos habens        inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!
iram magnam sciens quod modicum tempus       for the devil is come down unto you,
habet                                        having great wrath, because he knoweth
                                             that he hath but a short time.

12:13  et postquam vidit draco quod          13.  And when the dragon saw that he
proiectus est in terram persecutus est       was cast unto the earth, he persecuted
mulierem quae peperit masculum               the woman which brought forth the man
                                             child.

12:14  et datae sunt mulieri duae alae       14.  And to the woman were given two
aquilae magnae ut volaret in desertum        wings of a great eagle, that she might
in locum suum ubi alitur per tempus et       fly into the wilderness, into her
tempora et dimidium temporis a facie         place, where she is nourished for a
serpentis                                    time, and times, and half a time, from
                                             the face of the serpent.

12:15  et misit serpens ex ore suo post      15.  And the serpent cast out of his
mulierem aquam tamquam flumen ut eam         mouth water as a flood after the woman,
faceret trahi a flumine                      that he might cause her to be carried
                                             away of the flood.

12:16  et adiuvit terra mulierem et          16.  And the earth helped the woman,
aperuit terra os suum et absorbuit           and the earth opened her mouth, and
flumen quod misit draco de ore suo           swallowed up the flood which the dragon
                                             cast out of his mouth.

12:17  et iratus est draco in mulierem       17.  And the dragon was wroth with the
et abiit facere proelium cum reliquis        woman, and went to make war with the
de semine eius qui custodiunt mandata        remnant of her seed, which keep the
Dei et habent testimonium Iesu               commandments of God, and have the
                                             testimony of Jesus Christ.

12:18  et stetit super harenam maris         18.  And I stood upon the sand of the
                                             sea,
