Revelation 13
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads names of blasphemy.
第二款 海より起る獣 我又海より一の獣の上るを見たり、其は七の頭と十の角と有りて、其角の上に冠あり、頭の上に冒涜の名あり。
2 And the beast which I saw was like to a leopardess, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth; and the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority;
我が見し獣は豹の如く、其足は熊の足の如く、其口は獅子の如くにして、龍は之に己が座と大いなる権力とを與へたり。
3 and one of his heads [was] as slain to death, and his wound of death had been healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast.
我又見たるに、其一の頭死ぬばかり傷つけられたれど、其死ぬべき傷醫されしかば、全世界感嘆して此獣に從ひ、
4 And they did homage to the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and they did homage to the beast, saying, Who [is] like to the beast? and who can make war with it?
此獣に力を與へし龍を禮拝し、又獣を禮拝して言ひけるは、誰か此獣の如き者あらんや、誰か之と戰ふを得んや、と。
5 And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to it authority to pursue its career forty-two months.
而して大言と冒涜とを吐く口を與へられ、四十二箇月の間働く権力を與へられ、
6 And it opened its mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and those who have their tabernacle in the heaven.
然て口を開きて神を冒涜し、其御名と其幕屋と天に住める者とを冒涜せり。
7 And there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation;
又聖人等と戰ひ、且之に勝つ事を許され、諸族、諸民、諸語、諸國に對する権力を與へられ、
8 and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage, [every one] whose name had not been written from [the] founding of [the] world in the book of life of the slain Lamb.
斯て地上に住める人にして、世の初より殺され給ひたる羔の生命の名簿に名を録されざる人、皆彼獣を禮拝せり。
9 If any one has an ear, let him hear.
人耳あらば聞け、
10 If any one [leads] into captivity, he goes into captivity. If any one shall kill with [the] sword, he must with [the] sword be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
擒に牽きし人は自ら擒に往くべく、剣にて殺しし人は剣にて殺さるべし、聖人等の忍耐と信仰と茲にあり。
11 And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and it had two horns like to a lamb, and spake as a dragon;
第三款 地より起る獣 我又別に地より一の獣の上るを見しが、羔の如き角二ありて、龍の如くに言ひ居り、
12 and it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it, and causes the earth and those that dwell in it to do homage to the first beast, whose wound of death was healed.
先の獣の前に於て、総て之と等しき力を顕し、地と地に住める人とをして、死ぬばかりの傷の醫されし曩の獣を禮拝せしめたり、
13 And it works great signs, that it should cause even fire to come down from heaven to the earth before men.
又人の眼前に天より火を地に下さしむる程の大いなる徴を為し、
14 And it deceives those that dwell upon the earth by reason of the signs which it was given to it to work before the beast, saying to those that dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, which has the wound of the sword, and lived.
獣の前に為すことを得しめられたる徴を以て、地に住める人を惑はし、之に勧めて、刀の傷はありながら尚生存へし獣の像を造らしめ、
15 And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should also speak, and should cause that as many as should not do homage to the image of the beast should be killed.
此獣の像に生命を與へ、且言ふことを得させ、此獣の像を拝せざる人を殺す力を與へられたり、
16 And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead;
又大小と貧富と自由の身と奴隷とを問はず、凡ての人に、或は右の手或は額に印章を受けしめ、
17 and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name.
此印章若くは獣の名、若くは其名の數を記されたる人々の外、売買する事を得ざらしめたり。
18 Here is wisdom. He that has understanding let him count the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and its number [is] six hundred [and] sixty-six.
智恵は是に於てか要せらる、知識ある人は獣の數を算へよ、獣の數は人の數にして、其數は六百六十六なり。
