SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:1–17: The woman fled from the dragon

In this section, John saw several signs or symbols representing spiritual reality. The first sign was a woman, representing the people of God. The second sign was a dragon, representing Satan. The woman was about to give birth, and the dragon wanted to kill the child. The child is symbolic of Jesus as the Christ. God took the son to heaven and protected the woman.

In 12:7–12, John interrupted the story of the woman and the dragon to tell about the war between the dragon and the angels. These verses help explain why the dragon wanted to kill the woman. In 12:13, John continued the story of the woman and the dragon.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The sign of the dragon chasing the woman

The vision of the woman and the dragon

The spiritual conflict of God’s people and Satan

12:8a

But the dragon was not strong enough,

the dragon was not strong enough: There is a textual issue here:

  1. Some Greek manuscripts have he. For example:

    he was too weak (REB) (BSB, NIV, GNT, NLT, GW, CEV, NET, REB, ESV, NCV, KJVThe KJV has no pronoun here, but the Textus Receptus has the singular verb indicating “he.”)

  2. Some Greek manuscripts have they. For example:

    they were defeated (RSV) (RSV, NJB, NASB, NABRE)

It is recommended that you follow option (1). The clause here focuses on the dragon as the leader. But both the dragon and his angels lost the war.

the dragon: The Greek is literally “he.” The pronoun refers to the dragon, as the BSB makes explicit. In some languages people may think this pronoun refers to Michael. If that is true in your language, you may want to clearly refer to the dragon, as the BSB models.

was not strong enough: This phrase indicates that the dragon and his army lost the war. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

was too weak (REB)

was defeated (GNT)

lost the battle (NLT)

12:8b

and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels.

no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels: This clause indicates that God no longer allowed them into heaven. Other ways to translate this clause are:

there was no longer any place for them in heaven (RSV)

he and his angels were not allowed to stay in heaven any longer (GNT)

God no longer permitted them to enter heaven

they were forced out of heaven

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

οὐκ ἴσχυσαν

not prevailed

The pronoun he refers to the dragon, not to Michael. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the dragon was not strong enough]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὐκ ἴσχυσαν

not prevailed

John means by association that the dragon was not strong enough to prevail against Michael and his army. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he was not able to prevail]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τόπος εὑρέθη αὐτῶν

˓a˒_place ˓was˒_found ˱for˲_them

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [could anyone find a place for them]
