Revelation 13
1 And he stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.
於是牠就站在海灘上。 看見從海裏上來一隻獸，牠有十隻角和七個頭，角上有十個王冠，頭上有褻聖的名號。
2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The serpent gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
我所看見的那獸，相似豹子，牠的腳像熊腳，牠的口像獅子口；那龍遂把自己的能力、寶座和大權交給了牠。
3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast.
我看見那獸的頭中，有一個似乎受了致死的傷，但牠那致死的傷卻治好了；故此全地的人都驚奇，而跟隨了那獸。
4 They worshiped the serpent, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
世人遂都朝拜那龍，因為牠把權柄賜給了那獸；世人朝拜那獸說：「誰可與這獸相比？誰能和牠交戰？」
5 A mouth was given to him speaking proud words and blasphemies. There was given to him authority to act for forty-two months.
又賜給了那獸一張說大話和褻聖的口，並且賜給了牠可妄為四十二個月的權柄；
6 He opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.
牠便張開自己的口，向天主說褻瀆的話，褻瀆他的聖名、他的帳幕和那些居住在天上的人。
7 It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
又允許牠可與聖徒們交戰，且戰勝他們；又賜給牠制服各支派、各民族、各異語和各邦國的權柄。
8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life of the Lamb who has been killed.
地上的居民，凡名字從創造之初沒有記錄在被宰殺的羔羊生命冊中的人，都要朝拜牠。
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
誰若有耳朵，就聽罷！
10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
誰若該被俘擄，就去受俘擄；誰若該受刀殺，就去受刀殺：聖徒們的堅忍和忠信即在於此。
11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a serpent.
以後我看見另一隻獸由地中上來，牠有兩隻相似羔羊的角，說話卻相似龍。
12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
牠在那前一隻獸面前，施行前一隻獸所有的一切權柄，使大地和居住在地上的人，朝拜前一隻獸，就是那隻受過致死的傷而被治好的獸。
13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of people.
牠又行大奇蹟，甚至在眾人面前使火從天降到地上。
14 He deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword and yet lived.
牠因著在那獸面前所行的那些奇蹟，迷惑了地上的居民，便勸告地上的居民，給那那受過刀傷而還活著的獸，立一個像。
15 It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast could both speak and cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
牠又得了能力，把生氣賦給那獸像，甚至叫那獸像說話，並使那些凡不朝拜獸像的人死亡。
16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead;
牠給所有的人，無論大小貧富，自主的和為奴的，都在他們的右手上，或在他們的額上，打了一個印號；
17 and that no one could be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.
如此，除非有這印號的，就是有那獸的名字或牠名字的數字的，誰也不能買，誰也不能賣。
18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
在這裏應有智慧：凡有明悟的，就讓他計算一下那獸的數字，因為是人的數字，牠的數字是六百六十六。
