< Revelation 13 >
1 And he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads 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, which I saw, was like to a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his own strength, and great power.
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 one of his heads as it were slain to death: and his death’s wound was healed. And all the earth was in admiration after 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 adored the dragon, which gave power to the beast: and they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the beast? and who shall be able to fight with him?
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 him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do two and forty 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 unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that 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 unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, 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 that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb, which was slain from the beginning of the world.
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 any man have an ear, let him hear.
Kapau ʻoku telinga ha taha, pea fakafanongo ia.
10 He that shall lead into captivity, shall go into captivity: he that shall kill by the sword, must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience and the 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 coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns, like a lamb, and he spoke as a 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 he executed all the power of the former beast in his sight; and he caused the earth, and them that dwell therein, to adore the first beast, whose wound to death 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 he did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto 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 he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs, which were given him to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make the image of the beast, which had the wound by the sword, and 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 him to give life to the image of the beast, and that the image of the beast should speak; and should cause, that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast, should 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 he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in 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 And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath 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. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred 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.
