Revelation 13
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea having ten horns, and seven heads, and ten diadems upon its horns, and upon its heads names of blasphemy.
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.
2 And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard. And its feet were like a bear, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority.
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.
3 And one of its heads was as in death, having been killed. And its deadly wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled behind the beast.
Og jeg saa et af dets Hoveder ligesom saaret til Døden, og dets dødelige Saar blev lægt, og al Jorden fulgte undrende efter Dyret.
4 And they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast, and who is able to war against it?
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?
5 And a mouth was given to it speaking great things and blasphemy. And authority was given it to make war forty-two months.
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.
6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, those who dwell in heaven.
Og det aabnede sin Mund til Bespottelser imod Gud, til at bespotte hans Navn og hans Telt, dem, som bo i Himmelen.
7 And it was given it to make war with the sanctified, and to overcome them. And authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to it.
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.
8 And all who dwell upon the earth will worship it, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who was killed from the foundation of the world.
Og alle, som bo paa Jorden, skulle tilbede ham, enhver, hvis Navn ikke fra Verdens Grundlæggelse er skrevet i Lammets, det slagtedes, Livets Bog.
9 If any man has an ear, let him hear.
Dersom nogen har Øre, han høre!
10 If any man keeps in captivity, he goes. If any man kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the sanctified.
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.
11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns similar to a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon.
Og jeg saa et andet Dyr stige op af Jorden, og det havde to Horn ligesom et Lam og talte som en Drage,
12 And it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it. And it made the earth and those who dwell in it so that they would worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
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.
13 And it does great signs, so that even fire would come down out of the sky upon the earth in the sight of men.
Og det gør store Tegn, saa at det endog faar Ild til at falde ned fra Himmelen paa Jorden for Menneskenes Aasyn.
14 And it leads my kind astray (those dwelling on the earth) because of the signs that were given it to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast that had the sword-wound and lived.
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.
15 And it was given it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would both speak, and would make as many as would not ever worship the image of the beast be killed.
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.
16 And it makes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the bondmen, that they would give them marks on their right hand, or on their foreheads.
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,
17 And so that not any man can buy or sell unless having the mark-the name of the beast or the number of its name.
for at ingen skal kunne købe eller sælge uden den, som har Mærket, Dyrets Navn eller dets Navns Tal.
18 Here is wisdom: He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number of a man. And its number is 666.
Her gælder det Visdom! Den, som har Forstand, udregne Dyrets Tal; thi det er et Menneskes Tal, og dets Tal er 666.
