< 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.
Pea ne u tuʻu ʻi he ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, pea u mamata ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he tahi ʻae manu fekai, naʻe fitu hono ʻulu pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae nifo ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe ʻi hono ngaahi nifo ʻae pale ʻe hongofulu, pea ʻi hono ngaahi ʻulu ʻae hingoa ko Taukae ʻOtua.
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.
Pea ko e manu fekai ʻaia ne u mamata ai, naʻe tatau mo e lēpati, pea ko hono vaʻe naʻe hangē ko e vaʻe ʻo ha pea, pea ko hono ngutu naʻe hangē ko e ngutu ʻo ha laione: pea naʻe ʻatu ki ai ʻe he fuʻu ngata ʻa ʻene mālohi ʻaʻana, mo hono nofoʻanga, mo e pule lahi.
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.
Pea ne u mamata naʻe hangē kuo lavea ʻo mate hono foʻi ʻulu ʻe taha; ka naʻe toe moʻui pe hono lavea fakamate: pea naʻe fakatumutumu ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻo muimui ʻi he manu fekai.
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?”
Pea naʻa nau hū ki he fuʻu ngata ʻaia ne ne ʻatu ʻae mālohi ki he manu fekai: ʻonau hū ki he manu fekai, ʻonau pehē, “Ko hai ʻoku tatau mo e manu fekai? Ko hai ʻoku faʻa fai ke tauʻi ia?”
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.
Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae ngutu ke lea fie lahi, mo taukae ki he ʻOtua; pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ke fai ʻae tau ʻi he māhina ʻe fāngofulu ma ua,
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven.
Pea ne faai hono ngutu ʻi he lea taukae ki he ʻOtua, ke lauʻikovi hono huafa, mo hono fale fehikitaki, mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he langi.
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.
Pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ke ne tauʻi ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ke ne ikuna ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ki he ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi lea, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
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.
Pea ʻe hū kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai tohi honau hingoa ʻi he tohi ʻoe moʻui ʻoe Lami, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi talu mei he fakatupu ʻo māmani.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
Kapau ʻoku telinga ha taha, pea fakafanongo ia.
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.
Ko ia ʻoku ne tataki ki he pōpula, ʻe moʻua ia ki he pōpula: ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, ʻoku totonu ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ia ʻae heletā. Ko eni ʻae faʻa kātaki mo e tui ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni.
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.
Pea ne u mamata ki he manu fekai ʻe taha ʻoku ʻalu hake ʻi he fonua; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe ua, naʻe hangē ia ko e lami, pea naʻa ne lea ʻo hangē ha fuʻu ngata.
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.
Pea ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae pule kotoa pē ʻoe ʻuluaki manu fekai naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia, ʻo ne fai ke hū ʻa māmani mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai ki he ʻuluaki manu fekai, ʻi heʻene moʻui ʻa hono lavea. Naʻa ne mei mate ai.
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.
Pea ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo lahi, ʻo ne fai ke ʻalu hifo ʻae afi mei he langi ki he fonua, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai,
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.
Pea ne kākaaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ko ia naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae mālohi ke fai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe manu fekai; ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi mamani, ke nau ngaohi ha fakatātā ki he manufekai, ʻaia naʻe lavea ʻi he heletā, kae moʻui pe.
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.
Pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ke ne foaki ʻae moʻui ki he fakatātā ʻoe manu fekai, ke lea ai ʻae fakatātā ʻoe manu fekai, pea pule ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻikai te nau hū ki he fakatātā ʻoe manu fekai.
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,
Pea naʻa ne puleʻi kotoa pē, ʻae iiki mo e lalahi, ʻae maʻumeʻa mo e masiva, ʻae tauʻatāina mo e pōpula, ke nau maʻu ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻi honau nima toʻomataʻu, pe ʻi honau foʻi laʻē:
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.
Pea ke ʻoua naʻa fakatau mai pe fakatau atu ʻe ha taha, ka ko ia pe kuo ʻi ai ʻae fakaʻilonga, pe ʻae hingoa ʻoe manu fekai, pe ko e lau ʻo hono hingoa.
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.
Ko eni ʻae poto. Ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ʻilo, ke ne lau hono lau ʻoe manu fekai: he ko e lau ia ʻoe tangata; pea ko hono lau ko e onongeau ma onongofulu ma ono.
