Otkrivenje 13
1 I stade na morski žal. I vidjeh: iz mora Zvijer izlazi sa deset rogova i sedam glava; na rogovima joj deset kruna, na glavama bogohulna imena.
Then I saw rising up out of the sea a beast who had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns he had ten diadems, and on his heads blasphemous titles.
2 Ta Zvijer što je vidjeh bijaše nalik na leoparda, noge joj kao medvjeđe, usta kao usta lavlja. Zmaj joj dade svoju silu i prijestolje i vlast veliku.
The beast I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were bear’s feet, and his mouth a lion’s mouth. The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.
3 Jedna joj glava bijaše kao na smrt zaklana, ali joj se smrtna rana zaliječila. Sva se zemlja, začuđena, zanijela za Zvijeri
And I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth was following the beast, wondering.
4 i svi se pokloniše Zmaju koji dade takvu vlast Zvijeri. Pokloniše se i Zvijeri govoreći: “Tko je kao Zvijer! Tko bi smio ratovati s njom?”
Men worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying. "Who is like the beast? Who can fight with him?"
5 I dana su joj usta da govori drskosti i hule i dana joj je vlast da to čini četrdeset i dva mjeseca.
And he was permitted to utter loud boasts and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty-two months.
6 I ona otvori usta da huli Boga, da huli ime njegovo, njegov Šator i nebesnike.
So he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle (those who live in his tabernacle in heaven).
7 I dano joj je da se zarati sa svecima i da ih pobijedi. Dana joj je vlast nad svakim plemenom i pukom i jezikom i narodom:
The beast was allowed to wage war upon the saints, and to conquer them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation;
8 da joj se poklone svi pozemljari, oni kojima ime nije zapisano u knjizi života zaklanog Jaganjca, od postanka svijeta.
and each one whose name has not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who has been slain from the foundation of the world. All who dwell on the earth shall worship him.
9 Tko ima uho, nek posluša!
Let him who has ears to hear, listen.
10 Je li tko za progonstvo, u progonstvo će ići! Je li tko za mač, da bude pogubljen, mačem će biti pogubljen! U tom je postojanost i vjera svetih.
Whoever is destined to go into captivity, goes into captivity. Whoever shall kill with the sword, shall surely be killed by the sword. (Here is the endurance and faith of the saints.)
11 I vidjeh: druga jedna Zvijer uzlazi iz zemlje, ima dva roga poput jaganjca, a govori kao Zmaj.
And I saw another beast ascending from the land; and he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon;
12 Vrši svu vlast one prve Zvijeri, u njenoj nazočnosti. Prisiljava zemlju i sve pozemljare da se poklone prvoj Zvijeri kojoj ono zacijeli smrtna rana.
and he exerts the full authority of the first beast before him, and he makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast whose death-stroke was healed.
13 Čini znamenja velika: i oganj spušta s neba na zemlju naočigled ljudi.
And he performs great miracles, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from the sky, before men’s eyes.
14 Tako zavodi pozemljare znamenjima koja joj je dano činiti u nazočnosti Zvijeri: svjetuje pozemljarima da načine kip Zvijeri koja bijaše udarena mačem, ali preživje.
And he deceives those who dwell on the earth, because of the miracles, which he is permitted to perform in the sight of the beast. He tells those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the sword-stroke, yet lived.
15 I dano joj je udahnuti život kipu Zvijeri te kip Zvijeri progovori i poubija sve koji se god ne klanjaju kipu Zvijeri.
And he was permitted to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak; and so that any one who would not worship the image of the beast should be put to death.
16 Ona postiže da se svima - malima i velikima, bogatima i ubogima, slobodnjacima i robovima - udari žig na desnicu ili na čelo,
And he makes all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a brand put upon their right hands or upon their brows,
17 i da nitko ne mogne kupovati ili prodavati osim onog koji nosi žig s imenom Zvijeri ili s brojem imena njezina.
so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the brand of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 U ovome je mudrost: u koga je uma, nek odgoneta broj Zvijeri. Broj je to jednog čovjeka, a broj mu je šest stotina šezdeset i šest.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.
