Aabenbaringen 13
1 Og jeg stod paa Sandet ved Havet. Og jeg saa et Dyr stige op af Havet, som havde ti Horn og syv Hoveder, og paa sine Horn ti Kroner, og paa sine Hoveder Bespottelsens Navne.
And I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and ten crowns on its horns, and on its heads names of slander,
2 Og Dyret, som jeg saa, var ligt en Panter, og dets Fødder som en Bjørns, og dets Mund som en Løves Mund; og Dragen gav det sin Kraft og sin Trone og stor Magt.
and the beast that I saw was like to a leopard, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority.
3 Og jeg saa et af dets Hoveder ligesom saaret til Døden, og dets dødelige Saar blev lægt, og al Jorden fulgte undrende efter Dyret.
And I saw one of its heads as slain to death, and its deadly wound was healed, and all the earth wondered after the beast,
4 Og de tilbade Dragen, fordi den havde givet Dyret Magten; og de tilbade Dyret og sagde: Hvem er Dyret lig? hvem mægter at kæmpe imod det?
and they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who [is] like to the beast? Who is able to war with it?”
5 Og der blev givet det en Mund til at tale store Ord og Bespottelser, og der blev givet det Magt til at virke i to og fyrretyve Maaneder.
And there was given to it a mouth speaking great things, and slanders, and there was given to it authority to make war forty-two months,
6 Og det aabnede sin Mund til Bespottelser imod Gud, til at bespotte hans Navn og hans Telt, dem, som bo i Himmelen.
and it opened its mouth for slander toward God, to slander His Name, and of His dwelling place, and of those who dwell in Heaven,
7 Og der blev givet det at føre Krig imod de hellige og at overvinde dem; og der blev givet det Magt over hver Stamme og Folk og Tungemaal og Folkeslag.
and there was given to it to make war with the holy ones, and to overcome them, and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and tongue, and nation.
8 Og alle, som bo paa Jorden, skulle tilbede ham, enhver, hvis Navn ikke fra Verdens Grundlæggelse er skrevet i Lammets, det slagtedes, Livets Bog.
And all who are dwelling on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Scroll of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;
9 Dersom nogen har Øre, han høre!
if anyone has an ear—let him hear:
10 Dersom nogen fører andre i Fængsel, han kommer selv i Fængsel; dersom nogen dræber med Sværd, han skal dræbes med Sværd. Her gælder det de helliges Udholdenhed og Tro.
if anyone [goes] into captivity, into captivity he goes; if anyone is to be killed with sword, it is necessary of him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the holy ones.
11 Og jeg saa et andet Dyr stige op af Jorden, og det havde to Horn ligesom et Lam og talte som en Drage,
And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, and it was speaking as a dragon,
12 Og det udøver hele det første Dyrs Magt for dets Aasyn og faar Jorden og dem, som bo derpaa, til at tilbede det første Dyr, hvis dødelige Saar blev lægt.
and all the authority of the first beast does it do before it, and it makes the earth and those dwelling in it that they will worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed,
13 Og det gør store Tegn, saa at det endog faar Ild til at falde ned fra Himmelen paa Jorden for Menneskenes Aasyn.
and it does great signs, that fire also it may make to come down from the sky to the earth before men,
14 Og det forfører dem, som bo paa Jorden, for de Tegns Skyld, som det blev givet det at gøre for Dyrets Aasyn, og siger til dem, som bo paa Jorden, at de skulle gøre et Billede af Dyret, ham, som har Sværdhugget og kom til Live.
and it leads astray those dwelling on the earth, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast that has the wound of the sword and lived,
15 Og det fik Magt til at give Dyrets Billede Aand, saa at Dyrets Billede endog kunde tale og gøre, at alle de, der ikke vilde tilbede Dyrets Billede, skulde ihjelslaas.
and there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that also the image of the beast may speak, and it may cause as many as will not worship the image of the beast, that they may be killed.
16 Og det faar alle, baade smaa og store, baade rige og fattige, baade frie og. Trælle, til at sætte sig et Mærke paa deres højre Haand eller paa deres Pande,
And it makes all, the small, and the great, and the rich, and the poor, and the freemen, and the servants, that it may give to them a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
17 for at ingen skal kunne købe eller sælge uden den, som har Mærket, Dyrets Navn eller dets Navns Tal.
and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Her gælder det Visdom! Den, som har Forstand, udregne Dyrets Tal; thi det er et Menneskes Tal, og dets Tal er 666.
Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and its number: six hundred sixty-six.
