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.
那時龍就站在海邊的沙上。 我又看見一個獸從海中上來，有十角七頭，在十角上戴着十個冠冕，七頭上有褻瀆的名號。
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.
我所看見的獸，形狀像豹，腳像熊的腳，口像獅子的口。那龍將自己的能力、座位，和大權柄都給了牠。
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.
我看見獸的七頭中，有一個似乎受了死傷，那死傷卻醫好了。全地的人都希奇跟從那獸，
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?"
又拜那龍－因為牠將自己的權柄給了獸，也拜獸，說：「誰能比這獸，誰能與牠交戰呢？」
5 A mouth was given to him speaking proud words and blasphemies. There was given to him authority to act for forty-two months.
又賜給牠說誇大褻瀆話的口，又有權柄賜給牠，可以任意而行四十二個月。
6 He opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.
獸就開口向上帝說褻瀆的話，褻瀆上帝的名並他的帳幕，以及那些住在天上的。
7 It was given to him to make war with the kadoshim, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
又任憑牠與聖徒爭戰，並且得勝；也把權柄賜給牠，制伏各族、各民、各方、各國。
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.
凡住在地上、名字從創世以來沒有記在被殺之羔羊生命冊上的人，都要拜牠。
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
凡有耳的，就應當聽！
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 kadoshim.
擄掠人的，必被擄掠； 用刀殺人的，必被刀殺。 聖徒的忍耐和信心就是在此。
11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a serpent.
我又看見另有一個獸從地中上來，有兩角如同羊羔，說話好像龍。
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.
牠在頭一個獸面前，施行頭一個獸所有的權柄，並且叫地和住在地上的人拜那死傷醫好的頭一個獸。
13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of people.
又行大奇事，甚至在人面前，叫火從天降在地上。
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.
牠因賜給牠權柄在獸面前能行奇事，就迷惑住在地上的人，說：「要給那受刀傷還活着的獸作個像。」
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.
又有權柄賜給牠，叫獸像有生氣，並且能說話，又叫所有不拜獸像的人都被殺害。
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;
牠又叫眾人，無論大小、貧富、自主的、為奴的，都在右手上或是在額上受一個印記。
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.
除了那受印記、有了獸名或有獸名數目的，都不得做買賣。
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.
在這裏有智慧：凡有聰明的，可以算計獸的數目；因為這是人的數目，它的數目是六百六十六。
