< Revelation 13 >
1 And I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and ten crowns on its horns, and on its heads names of slander,
Dragon an te kanpe sou sab lanmè a. Mwen te wè yon bèt ki sòti nan lanmè a, avèk dis kòn, ak sèt tèt. Sou kòn li yo, te gen dis kouwòn, e sou tèt li te gen non blasfematè yo.
2 and the beast that I saw was like to a leopard, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority.
Bèt ke m te wè a te tankou yon leyopa. Pat li yo te tankou pat a yon lous, e bouch li te tankou bouch a yon lyon. Konsa, dragon an te ba li pouvwa li a, twòn li an, ak gran otorite.
3 And I saw one of its heads as slain to death, and its deadly wound was healed, and all the earth wondered after the beast,
Mwen te wè youn nan tèt li yo kòmsi li te fin touye, e blese fatal li a te fin geri. Tout latè te etone, e yo te swiv bèt la.
4 and they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who [is] like to the beast? Who is able to war with it?”
Yo te adore dragon an paske li te bay otorite a bèt la, epi yo te adore bèt la. Yo t ap di: “Kilès ki tankou bèt la, e kilès ki kapab fè lagè avè l?”
5 And there was given to it a mouth speaking great things, and slanders, and there was given to it authority to make war forty-two months,
Li te resevwa yon bouch pou pale pawòl ki awogan yo avèk blasfèm, e li te resevwa otorite pou aji pandan karant-de mwa.
6 and it opened its mouth for slander toward God, to slander His Name, and of His dwelling place, and of those who dwell in Heaven,
Li te ouvri bouch li ak blasfèm yo kont Bondye, pou blasfeme non Li ak tabènak Li a, ak sila ki rete nan syèl yo.
7 and there was given to it to make war with the holy ones, and to overcome them, and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and tongue, and nation.
Pouvwa a te osi bay a li menm pou fè lagè avèk sen yo, e pou venk yo. Epi otorite sou chak tribi, pèp, lang, ak nasyon, te vin bay a li menm.
8 And all who are dwelling on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Scroll of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;
Tout moun ki viv sou tè a va adore l, tout moun ke non yo pa ekri depi nan fondasyon mond lan, nan liv lavi a Jèn Mouton ki te touye a.
9 if anyone has an ear—let him hear:
Si yon moun gen yon zorèy, kite l tande.
10 if anyone [goes] into captivity, into captivity he goes; if anyone is to be killed with sword, it is necessary of him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the holy ones.
Si yon moun gen pou ale an kaptivite, an kaptivite li prale. Si yon moun dwe touye avèk nepe, avèk nepe, li va touye. Se konsa ak lafwa ak pèseverans a sen yo.
11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, and it was speaking as a dragon,
Answit, mwen te wè yon lòt bèt ki t ap vin sòti anba tè a. Li te gen de kòn tankou yon jenn mouton, e li te pale tankou yon dragon.
12 and all the authority of the first beast does it do before it, and it makes the earth and those dwelling in it that they will worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed,
Li egzèse tout otorite a premye bèt la nan prezans li. Epi li fè tè a avèk sila ki rete ladann yo adore premye bèt, ki te gen blese fatal ki te geri a.
13 and it does great signs, that fire also it may make to come down from the sky to the earth before men,
Li fè gwo sign, jis pou fè dife sòti nan syèl la rive sou tè a devan prezans a moun yo.
14 and it leads astray those dwelling on the earth, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast that has the wound of the sword and lived,
E li twonpe sila ki viv sou latè yo, akoz gwo sign ki te bay a li menm pou fè nan prezans a bèt la. Li pale ak sila ki viv sou latè yo pou yo fè yon imaj a bèt ki te gen blese nepe a, e ki te viv.
15 and there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that also the image of the beast may speak, and it may cause as many as will not worship the image of the beast, that they may be killed.
Konsa, pouvwa a te bay a li menm pou bay souf a imaj bèt la, pou imaj a bèt la ta kapab menm pale e fè tout sila ki refize adore bèt la touye.
16 And it makes all, the small, and the great, and the rich, and the poor, and the freemen, and the servants, that it may give to them a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
Konsa, li koze tout moun, piti kon gran, rich kon malere, moun lib kon esklav, vin resevwa yon mak sou men dwat oswa sou fon yo,
17 and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
pou pèsòn pa kapab ni achte ni vann, eksepte sila ki pote mak la, ki se non a bèt la oswa chif non li an.
18 Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and its number: six hundred sixty-six.
Men sajès. Kite sila ki gen bon konprann nan, kalkile chif a bèt la, paske chif la se sa ki pou yon moun. E chif li a se sis-san-swasann-sis.
