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

Verse 2 is found in chapter 12 of Revelation. A woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars, appears in heaven. She is pregnant and gives birth while a great red dragon waits to devour the child. The symbolism brings together images of Israel, the people of God, and the messianic community, so the woman should not simply be reduced to one individual figure. The child is destined to rule the nations with a rod of iron, a clear allusion to Psalm 2. God protects both the child and the woman, and the scene introduces the conflict between the Messiah and the dragon.

Und sie war schwanger und schrie in Kindesnöten und hatte große Qual zur Geburt.
Y estando preñada, clamaba con dolores de parto, y sufría tormento por parir.
Estaba embarazada y gritaba entre los dolores del parto y el sufrimiento de dar a luz.
Elle était enceinte, et elle criait, étant en travail et dans les douleurs de l'enfantement.
Ed essendo incinta, gridava, sentendo i dolori del parto, e travagliava da partorire.
E estava grávida, e com dores de parto, e gritava com ânsias de dar à luz.
她懷了孕,在生產的陣痛中疼痛地喊叫。
