< Revelation 13 >

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.
Zvino ndakamira pamusoro pejecha regungwa, ndokuona chikara chichibuda mugungwa, chine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi, nepamusoro penyanga dzacho korona gumi, nepamusoro pemisoro yacho zita rekunyomba.
2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
Zvino chikara ichi chandakaona chakange chakaita sengwe, netsoka dzacho sedzebheya, nemuromo wacho semuromo weshumba. Zibukanana rikapa kwachiri simba raro, nechigaro charo cheushe, nemasimba makuru.
3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast.
Zvino ndakaona umwe wemisoro yacho wakaita sewakaurawa kusvika parufu; asi vanga racho rekufa rakange rapodzwa; nyika yese ikashamisika shure kwechikara.
4 They worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
Vakanamata zibukanana rakapa simba kuchikara, vakanamata chikara, vachiti: Ndiani wakafanana nechikara? Ndiani anogona kuita hondo nacho?
5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.
Zvino kukapiwa kwachiri muromo unotaura zvinhu zvikuru nekunyomba; kukapiwawo kwachiri simba rekubata mwedzi makumi mana nemiviri.
6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.
Ndokushamisa muromo wacho kuti chinyombe Mwari, nekunyomba zita rake, netabhenakeri yake, neavo vanogara kudenga.
7 It was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
Zvino kwakapiwa kwachiri kuita hondo nevatsvene, nekuvakunda; kukapiwawo kwachiri masimba pamusoro perudzi rwese nerurimi nerudzi.
8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.
Uye vese vanogara panyika vachachinamata, vane mazita asina kunyorwa mubhuku reupenyu reGwayana rakabaiwa kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
Kana umwe ane nzeve, ngaanzwe.
10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
Kana umwe achiunganidza muutapwa, anoenda muutapwa; kana umwe achiuraya nemunondo, zvakamufanira kuurawa nemunondo. Ndipo pane kutsungirira nerutendo rwevatsvene.
11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
Zvino ndakaona chimwe chikara chichikwira kubva panyika; uye chakange chine nyanga mbiri segwayana, ndokutaura sezibukanana.
12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
Uye chakashandisa simba rese rechikara chekutanga pamberi pacho uye chinoita kuti nyika nevagere mukati mayo kuti vanamate chikara chekutanga, chiya chine vanga rinouraya rakaporeswa.
13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.
Chinoitawo zviratidzo zvikuru, kuti nemoto chinoita kuti uburuke kubva kudenga kuuya panyika pamberi pevanhu.
14 He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.
Zvino chinonyengera avo vanogara panyika nezviratidzo zvakapiwa kwachiri kuti chiite pamberi pechikara, chichiti kune vanogara panyika, ngavaitire mufananidzo chikara chakange chine vanga remunondo, chikararama.
15 It was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
Zvino kwakapiwa kwachiri kupa mweya kumufananidzo wechikara, kutiwo mufananidzo wechikara utaure, chigoita kuti vese vasinganamati mufananidzo wechikara vaurawe.
16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands or on their foreheads;
Chinoitawo vese, vadiki nevakuru, uye vafumi nevarombo, uye vakasununguka nevaranda, kuti vapiwe mucherechedzo muruoko rwavo rwerudyi, kana pahuma dzavo,
17 and that no one would be able to buy or to sell unless he has that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
uye kuti kusava neumwe anogona kutenga kana kutengesa, kunze kwaiye ane mucherechedzo, kana zita rechikara kana nhamba yezita racho.
18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
Hehuno uchenjeri. Ane kunzwisisa ngaaverenge nhamba yechikara; nokuti inhamba yemunhu; uye nhamba yacho ndimazana matanhatu nemakumi matanhatu nenhanhatu.
