Revelation 13
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Ja ta jäi seisma mere liivale. Lohe seisis mere kaldal. Ja ma nägin, kuidas merest tõusis metsaline, kellel oli seitse pead ja kümme sarve. Iga sarve otsas oli diadeem ja iga pea peal Jumalat teotav nimi.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto 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 power, and his seat, and great authority.
Metsaline, keda ma nägin, oli pantri sarnane, kuid tal olid jalad nagu karul ja suu nagu lõvil. Lohe andis temale oma väe, oma trooni ja suure meelevalla.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Metsalise üks peadest oli nagu surmavalt haavatud, kuid tema surmahaav paranes. Kogu maailm oli täis imestust ja järgis metsalist.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Inimesed kummardasid lohet, et see oli andnud metsalisele meelevalla. Nad kummardasid ka metsalist ning küsisid: „Kes on metsalise sarnane ja kes suudab temaga sõdida?“
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.
Talle anti suu rääkida suuri asju ja teotada Jumalat ning talle anti vabadus tegutseda nelikümmend kaks kuud.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Ta avas suu Jumala teotamiseks, et teotada tema nime ja elupaika, kõiki, kes elavad taevas.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Tal lubati sõdida Jumala rahva vastu ja neid võita ning talle anti meelevald kõigi suguharude, rahvaste, keelte ja hõimude üle.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Teda hakkavad kummardama kõik maailma elanikud, kelle nime ei ole maailma rajamisest peale kirjutatud tapetud Talle eluraamatusse.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Kellel on kõrvad, see kuulgu:
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
„kui keegi peab minema vangi, siis vangi ta ka läheb. Kui keegi peab tapetama mõõgaga, siis mõõgaga ta tapetakse.“Siin olgu Jumala pühadel kannatlikkust ja ustavust!
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Siis ma nägin teist metsalist, kes tõusis üles maa seest. Tal oli kaks sarve nagu Tallel, aga ta rääkis nagu lohe.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Ta kasutas esimese metsalise nimel tema meelevalda ning pani maa ja selle elanikud kummardama esimest metsalist, kelle surmahaav oli paranenud.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Ta tegi vägevaid tunnustähti ja lasi tuldki inimeste nähes taevast maa peale tulla,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
ning ta pettis maa elanikke tunnustähtedega, mis talle oli antud teha metsalise ees. Ta käskis maa elanikel valmistada kuju metsalise auks, kellel oli mõõgahaav ja kes siiski jäi ellu.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Talle anti ka võime panna metsalise kujusse eluvaim, nii et metsalise kuju rääkis ja laskis tappa kõik, kes metsalise kuju ei kummarda.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Ta sundis kõiki inimesi – väikeseid ja suuri, rikkaid ja vaeseid, vabu ja orje – saama märgi nende paremale käele või nende otsaette,
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
et keegi muu ei saaks midagi osta ega müüa, kui vaid see, kelle on see märk, mis on metsalise nimi või tema nime arv.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.
Siin on vaja tarkust! Kes on arukas, arvutagu välja, mida tähendab metsalise arv, sest see on inimese arv – tema arv on kuussada kuuskümmend kuus.
