Revelation 13
1 And he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast ascending from the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns were ten diadems, and upon its heads were names of blasphemy.
tataḥ paramahaṁ sāgarīyasikatāyāṁ tiṣṭhan sāgarād udgacchantam ekaṁ paśuṁ dṛṣṭavān tasya daśa śṛṅgāṇi sapta śirāṁsi ca daśa śṛṅgeṣu daśa kirīṭāni śiraḥsu ceśvaranindāsūcakāni nāmāni vidyante|
2 And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, and its feet were like the feet of a bear, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave his own power and great authority to it.
mayā dṛṣṭaḥ sa paśuścitravyāghrasadṛśaḥ kintu tasya caraṇau bhallūkasyeva vadanañca siṁhavadanamiva| nāgane tasmai svīyaparākramaḥ svīyaṁ siṁhāsanaṁ mahādhipatyañcādāyi|
3 And I saw that one of its heads seemed to be slain unto death, but his deadly wound was healed. And the entire world was in wonder following the beast.
mayi nirīkṣamāṇe tasya śirasām ekam antakāghātena cheditamivādṛśyata, kintu tasyāntakakṣatasya pratīkāro 'kriyata tataḥ kṛtsno naralokastaṁ paśumadhi camatkāraṁ gataḥ,
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 would be able to fight with it?”
yaśca nāgastasmai paśave sāmarthyaṁ dattavān sarvve taṁ prāṇaman paśumapi praṇamanto 'kathayan, ko vidyate paśostulyastena ko yoddhumarhati|
5 And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies. And authority was given to him to act for forty-two months.
anantaraṁ tasmai darpavākyeśvaranindāvādi vadanaṁ dvicatvāriṁśanmāsān yāvad avasthiteḥ sāmarthyañcādāyi|
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven.
tataḥ sa īśvaranindanārthaṁ mukhaṁ vyādāya tasya nāma tasyāvāsaṁ svarganivāsinaśca ninditum ārabhata|
7 And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation.
aparaṁ dhārmmikaiḥ saha yodhanasya teṣāṁ parājayasya cānumatiḥ sarvvajātīyānāṁ sarvvavaṁśīyānāṁ sarvvabhāṣāvādināṁ sarvvadeśīyānāñcādhipatyamapi tasmā adāyi|
8 And all who inhabit the earth worshiped the beast, those whose names have not been written, from the origin of the world, in the Book of Life of the Lamb who was slain.
tato jagataḥ sṛṣṭikālāt cheditasya meṣavatsasya jīvanapustake yāvatāṁ nāmāni likhitāni na vidyante te pṛthivīnivāsinaḥ sarvve taṁ paśuṁ praṇaṁsyanti|
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa śṛṇotu|
10 Whoever will be led into captivity, into captivity he goes. Whoever will kill with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the patient endurance and faith of the Saints.
yo jano 'parān vandīkṛtya nayati sa svayaṁ vandībhūya sthānāntaraṁ gamiṣyati, yaśca khaṅgena hanti sa svayaṁ khaṅgena ghāniṣyate| atra pavitralokānāṁ sahiṣṇutayā viśvāsena ca prakāśitavyaṁ|
11 And I saw another beast ascending from the land. And she had two horns like the Lamb, but she was speaking like the dragon.
anantaraṁ pṛthivīta udgacchan apara ekaḥ paśu rmayā dṛṣṭaḥ sa meṣaśāvakavat śṛṅgadvayaviśiṣṭa āsīt nāgavaccābhāṣata|
12 And she acted with all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And she caused the earth, and those dwelling in it, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
sa prathamapaśorantike tasya sarvvaṁ parākramaṁ vyavaharati viśeṣato yasya prathamapaśorantikakṣataṁ pratīkāraṁ gataṁ tasya pūjāṁ pṛthivīṁ tannivāsinaśca kārayati|
13 And she accomplished great signs, even so that she would cause fire to descend from the sky to the earth in the sight of men.
aparaṁ mānavānāṁ sākṣād ākāśato bhuvi vahnivarṣaṇādīni mahācitrāṇi karoti|
14 And she seduced those living on the earth, by means of the signs that were given to her to perform in the sight of the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth that they should make an image of the beast who had a wound of the sword and yet lived.
tasya paśoḥ sākṣād yeṣāṁ citrakarmmaṇāṁ sādhanāya sāmarthyaṁ tasmai dattaṁ taiḥ sa pṛthivīnivāsino bhrāmayati, viśeṣato yaḥ paśuḥ khaṅgena kṣatayukto bhūtvāpyajīvat tasya pratimānirmmāṇaṁ pṛthivīnivāsina ādiśati|
15 And it was given to her to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would speak. And she acted so that whoever would not worship the image of the beast would be slain.
aparaṁ tasya paśoḥ pratimā yathā bhāṣate yāvantaśca mānavāstāṁ paśupratimāṁ na pūjayanti te yathā hanyante tathā paśupratimāyāḥ prāṇapratiṣṭhārthaṁ sāmarthyaṁ tasmā adāyi|
16 And she will cause everyone, small and great, wealthy and poor, free and servant, to have a character on their right hand or on their foreheads,
aparaṁ kṣudramahaddhanidaridramuktadāsān sarvvān dakṣiṇakare bhāle vā kalaṅkaṁ grāhayati|
17 so that no one may buy or sell, unless he has the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
tasmād ye taṁ kalaṅkamarthataḥ paśo rnāma tasya nāmnaḥ saṁkhyāṅkaṁ vā dhārayanti tān vinā pareṇa kenāpi krayavikraye karttuṁ na śakyete|
18 Here is wisdom. Whoever has intelligence, let him determine the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
atra jñānena prakāśitavyaṁ| yo buddhiviśiṣṭaḥ sa paśoḥ saṁkhyāṁ gaṇayatu yataḥ sā mānavasya saṁkhyā bhavati| sā ca saṁkhyā ṣaṭṣaṣṭyadhikaṣaṭśatāni|
