Revelation 13
1 And I stood on the sea sand. And I saw a beast rise out of the sea, hauing seuen heads, and ten hornes, and vpon his hornes were ten crownes, and vpon his heads the name of blasphemie.
Og jeg stod paa Sandet ved Havet. Og jeg saa et Dyr stige op af Havet, som havde ti Horn og syv Hoveder, og paa sine Horn ti Kroner, og paa sine Hoveder Bespottelsens Navne.
2 And the beast which I sawe, was like a Leopard, and his feete like a beares, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gaue him his power and his throne, and great authoritie.
Og Dyret, som jeg saa, var ligt en Panter, og dets Fødder som en Bjørns, og dets Mund som en Løves Mund; og Dragen gav det sin Kraft og sin Trone og stor Magt.
3 And I sawe one of his heads as it were wounded to death, but his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondred and folowed the beast.
Og jeg saa et af dets Hoveder ligesom saaret til Døden, og dets dødelige Saar blev lægt, og al Jorden fulgte undrende efter Dyret.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gaue power vnto the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like vnto the beast! who is able to warre with him!
Og de tilbade Dragen, fordi den havde givet Dyret Magten; og de tilbade Dyret og sagde: Hvem er Dyret lig? hvem mægter at kæmpe imod det?
5 And there was giuen vnto him a mouth, that spake great things and blasphemies, and power was giuen vnto him, to doe two and fourtie moneths.
Og der blev givet det en Mund til at tale store Ord og Bespottelser, og der blev givet det Magt til at virke i to og fyrretyve Maaneder.
6 And he opened his mouth vnto blasphemie against God, to blaspheme his Name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heauen.
Og det aabnede sin Mund til Bespottelser imod Gud, til at bespotte hans Navn og hans Telt, dem, som bo i Himmelen.
7 And it was giuen vnto him to make warre with the Saints, and to ouercome them, and power was giuen him ouer euery kinred, and tongue, and nation.
Og der blev givet det at føre Krig imod de hellige og at overvinde dem; og der blev givet det Magt over hver Stamme og Folk og Tungemaal og Folkeslag.
8 Therefore all that dwell vpon the earth, shall worship him, whose names are not written in the booke of life of that Lambe, which was slaine from the beginning of the world.
Og alle, som bo paa Jorden, skulle tilbede ham, enhver, hvis Navn ikke fra Verdens Grundlæggelse er skrevet i Lammets, det slagtedes, Livets Bog.
9 If any man haue an eare, let him heare.
Dersom nogen har Øre, han høre!
10 If any leade into captiuitie, hee shall go into captiuitie: if any kill with a sword, he must be killed by a sword: here is the patience and the faith of the Saints.
Dersom nogen fører andre i Fængsel, han kommer selv i Fængsel; dersom nogen dræber med Sværd, han skal dræbes med Sværd. Her gælder det de helliges Udholdenhed og Tro.
11 And I beheld another beast comming vp out of the earth, which had two hornes like the Lambe, but he spake like the dragon.
Og jeg saa et andet Dyr stige op af Jorden, og det havde to Horn ligesom et Lam og talte som en Drage,
12 And he did all that the first beast could doe before him, and he caused the earth, and them which dwell therein, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Og det udøver hele det første Dyrs Magt for dets Aasyn og faar Jorden og dem, som bo derpaa, til at tilbede det første Dyr, hvis dødelige Saar blev lægt.
13 And he did great wonders, so that hee made fire to come downe from heauen on the earth, in the sight of men,
Og det gør store Tegn, saa at det endog faar Ild til at falde ned fra Himmelen paa Jorden for Menneskenes Aasyn.
14 And deceiued them that dwell on the earth by the signes, which were permitted to him to doe 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 of a sword, and did liue.
Og det forfører dem, som bo paa Jorden, for de Tegns Skyld, som det blev givet det at gøre for Dyrets Aasyn, og siger til dem, som bo paa Jorden, at de skulle gøre et Billede af Dyret, ham, som har Sværdhugget og kom til Live.
15 And it was permitted to him to giue a spirit vnto the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speake, and should cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast, should be killed.
Og det fik Magt til at give Dyrets Billede Aand, saa at Dyrets Billede endog kunde tale og gøre, at alle de, der ikke vilde tilbede Dyrets Billede, skulde ihjelslaas.
16 And he made all, both small and great, rich and poore, free and bond, to receiue a marke in their right hand or in their foreheads,
Og det faar alle, baade smaa og store, baade rige og fattige, baade frie og. Trælle, til at sætte sig et Mærke paa deres højre Haand eller paa deres Pande,
17 And that no man might buy or sell, saue hee that had the marke, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
for at ingen skal kunne købe eller sælge uden den, som har Mærket, Dyrets Navn eller dets Navns Tal.
18 Here is wisdome. Let him that hath wit, count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is sixe hundreth threescore and sixe.
Her gælder det Visdom! Den, som har Forstand, udregne Dyrets Tal; thi det er et Menneskes Tal, og dets Tal er 666.
