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

| 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
Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

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

et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulierem aquam tamquam flumen ut eam faceret trahi a flumine
And the serpent cast out of his mouth, after the woman, water, as it were a river: that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
|
| 16 |
et adiuvit terra mulierem et aperuit terra os suum et absorbuit flumen quod misit draco de ore suo
And the earth helped the woman: and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
|
| 17 |
et iratus est draco in mulierem et abiit facere proelium cum reliquis de semine eius qui custodiunt mandata Dei et habent testimonium Iesu
