Revelation 13
1 Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.
Dragon an te kanpe sou sab lanmè a. Mwen te wè yon bèt ki sòti nan lanmè a, avèk dis kòn, ak sèt tèt. Sou kòn li yo, te gen dis kouwòn, e sou tèt li te gen non blasfematè yo.
2 The beast I saw was like a leopard, with the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
Bèt ke m te wè a te tankou yon leyopa. Pat li yo te tankou pat a yon lous, e bouch li te tankou bouch a yon lyon. Konsa, dragon an te ba li pouvwa li a, twòn li an, ak gran otorite.
3 One of the heads of the beast appeared to be mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast.
Mwen te wè youn nan tèt li yo kòmsi li te fin touye, e blese fatal li a te fin geri. Tout latè te etone, e yo te swiv bèt la.
4 They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?”
Yo te adore dragon an paske li te bay otorite a bèt la, epi yo te adore bèt la. Yo t ap di: “Kilès ki tankou bèt la, e kilès ki kapab fè lagè avè l?”
5 The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months.
Li te resevwa yon bouch pou pale pawòl ki awogan yo avèk blasfèm, e li te resevwa otorite pou aji pandan karant-de mwa.
6 And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven.
Li te ouvri bouch li ak blasfèm yo kont Bondye, pou blasfeme non Li ak tabènak Li a, ak sila ki rete nan syèl yo.
7 Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
Pouvwa a te osi bay a li menm pou fè lagè avèk sen yo, e pou venk yo. Epi otorite sou chak tribi, pèp, lang, ak nasyon, te vin bay a li menm.
8 And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.
Tout moun ki viv sou tè a va adore l, tout moun ke non yo pa ekri depi nan fondasyon mond lan, nan liv lavi a Jèn Mouton ki te touye a.
9 He who has an ear, let him hear:
Si yon moun gen yon zorèy, kite l tande.
10 “If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he will go; if anyone is to die by the sword, by the sword he must be killed.” Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.
Si yon moun gen pou ale an kaptivite, an kaptivite li prale. Si yon moun dwe touye avèk nepe, avèk nepe, li va touye. Se konsa ak lafwa ak pèseverans a sen yo.
11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon.
Answit, mwen te wè yon lòt bèt ki t ap vin sòti anba tè a. Li te gen de kòn tankou yon jenn mouton, e li te pale tankou yon dragon.
12 And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
Li egzèse tout otorite a premye bèt la nan prezans li. Epi li fè tè a avèk sila ki rete ladann yo adore premye bèt, ki te gen blese fatal ki te geri a.
13 And the second beast performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people.
Li fè gwo sign, jis pou fè dife sòti nan syèl la rive sou tè a devan prezans a moun yo.
14 Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived.
E li twonpe sila ki viv sou latè yo, akoz gwo sign ki te bay a li menm pou fè nan prezans a bèt la. Li pale ak sila ki viv sou latè yo pou yo fè yon imaj a bèt ki te gen blese nepe a, e ki te viv.
15 The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed.
Konsa, pouvwa a te bay a li menm pou bay souf a imaj bèt la, pou imaj a bèt la ta kapab menm pale e fè tout sila ki refize adore bèt la touye.
16 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
Konsa, li koze tout moun, piti kon gran, rich kon malere, moun lib kon esklav, vin resevwa yon mak sou men dwat oswa sou fon yo,
17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.
pou pèsòn pa kapab ni achte ni vann, eksepte sila ki pote mak la, ki se non a bèt la oswa chif non li an.
18 Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.
Men sajès. Kite sila ki gen bon konprann nan, kalkile chif a bèt la, paske chif la se sa ki pou yon moun. E chif li a se sis-san-swasann-sis.
