Revelation 13
1 and he took his stand on the sea-shore. Then I saw, rising out of the sea, a wild Beast with ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names.
तब त्यो अजिङ्गर समुद्र किनारको बालुवामाथि उभियो । त्यसपछि मैले समुद्रबाट एउटा पशु आइरहेको देखेँ । त्यसको दसवटा सिङ र सातवटा टाउका थिए । त्यसका सिङहरूमाथि दसवटा मुकुट थिए, र हरेक टाउकामाथि ईश्वर-निन्दाका नाउँहरू थिए ।
2 The Beast that I saw was like a leopard; but its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave it his power and his throne, and wide dominion.
मैले देखेको त्यो पशु चितुवाजस्तै थियो । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू भालुका जस्ता थिए, र त्यसको मुख सिंहको जस्तो थियो । त्यसलाई शासन गर्नको निम्ति एउटा अजिङ्गरले आफ्नो शक्ति, आफ्नो सिंहासन र आफ्नो महान् अधिकार दियो ।
3 One of its heads seemed to me to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth followed the Beast, wondering;
त्यो पशुको टाउकामा गहिरो चोट थियो, जसले मृत्युसम्म लैजान सक्थ्यो, तर त्यो घाउ निको भयो । र सारा पृथ्वी अचम्मित भयो र तिनीहरूले त्यस पशुलाई पछ्याए ।
4 and men worshiped the Dragon, because he had given his dominion to the Beast; while, as they worshiped the Beast, they said – “Who can compare with the Beast? And who can fight with it?”
तिनीहरूले अजिङ्गरको पनि आराधना गर्दथे, किनकि त्यसले आफ्नो अधिकार त्यस पशुलाई दिएको थियो । “यो पशुजस्तो अरू को छ र?” र “यसको विरुद्धमा कसले लडाइँ गर्न सक्छ र?” भन्दै तिनीहरूले त्यस पशुलाई आराधना गरे ।
5 The Beast was given a mouth that spoke proudly and blasphemously, and it was empowered to work its will for forty-two months.
त्यसको मुखमा घमण्डका वचनहरू बोल्न र ईश्वर-निन्दा गर्ने वचनहरू बोल्न दिइयो । त्यसलाई बयालिस महिनाको निम्ति अधिकार गर्न अनुमति दिइएको थियो ।
6 It opened its mouth only to blaspheme God, to blaspheme his name and his tent – those who live in his tent in heaven.
त्यसैले, परमेश्वरको विरुद्ध ईश्वर-निन्दा गर्न, उहाँको नाउँ, उहाँको वासस्थान र स्वर्गमा बस्नेहरूका विरुद्धमा निन्दा गर्न त्यस पशुले आफ्नो मुख खोल्यो ।
7 It had been permitted to fight with Christ’s people and to conquer them, and it had received power over men of every tribe, and people, and language, and nation.
विश्वासीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न र तिनीहरूलाई जित्न त्यो पशुलाई अनुमति दिइएको थियो । अनि हरेक जाति, मानिस, भाषा, र राष्ट्रमाथि पनि अधिकार दिइएको थियो ।
8 All who are living on earth will worship it – all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb that has been sacrificed from the foundation of the world.
पृथ्वीमा बस्ने सबै मानिसले त्यो पशुको पुजा गर्नेछन्, जसको नाउँ संसारको सृष्टिदेखि नै मारिनुभएका थुमाको जीवनको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् ।
9 Let those who have ears hear.
कसैको कान छ भने, त्यसले सुनोस् ।
10 Whoever is destined for captivity goes into captivity. Whoever will kill with the sword must inevitably be killed with the sword. (Here there is need for endurance and faith on the part of Christ’s people.)
कसैलाई कैदमा लैजानुछ भने, त्यो कैदमा जानेछ । यदि कोही तरवारसँगै मारिनुछ भने, त्यो तरवारले नै मारिनेछ । धैर्य, सहनशिलता, र विश्वासका निम्ति जो पवित्र छन् यसैका निम्ति यहाँ बोलावट छ ।
11 Then I saw, rising out of the earth, another wild Beast. It had two horns like those of a lamb, and its voice was like a dragon’s.
तब मैले पृथ्वीबाट आइरहेको अर्को पशु देखेँ । त्यसका थुमाका जस्ता दुईवटा सिङ थिए, र त्यसले अजिङ्गरले जस्तै गरी बोल्यो ।
12 It exercises all the authority of the first Beast under its eyes; and it makes the earth and all who are living on it worship that first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
त्यसले पहिले पशुको उपस्थितिमा सबै शक्तिको अभ्यास गर्यो, अनि पृथ्वी र त्यहाँ बस्ने मानिसहरूलाई त्यसले पहिले पशुलाई पुजा गर्न लगाउँथ्यो, जसको घातक घाउ निको भएको थियो ।
13 It performs great marvels, even causing fire to fall from the heavens to the earth, before people’s eyes;
त्यसले शक्तिशाली आश्चर्यकर्म पनि देखायो । त्यसले मानिसहरूका अगाडि स्वर्गबाट पृथ्वीमा आगो झार्ने कामसमेत गर्यो ।
14 and in consequence of the marvels which it was allowed to perform under the eyes of the Beast, it is able to deceive all who are living on the earth. It tells those who live on the earth to make a statue in honour of the Beast, who, despite the wound from the sword, yet lived.
शक्तिशाली चिह्नहरूद्वारा यसलाई त्यसो गर्ने अनुमति दिइयो । दोस्रो पशुले पृथ्वीमा भएका मानिसहरूलाई छल गर्यो । त्यसले पहिलो पशुलाई आदर गर्नका निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई त्यसको एउटा मूर्ति बनाउन लगायो । त्यस पशुलाई तरवारको चोट लागेको थियो, तरै पनि त्यो जीवित भयो ।
15 It was permitted to breathe life into the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast might speak; and it was also permitted to cause all who refused to worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.
त्यसलाई त्यो पशुको मूर्तिलाई जीवित पार्ने अनुमति दिइयो, जसले गर्दा त्यो मूर्तिले बोल्न सकोस् र त्यस पशुको मूर्तिलाई पुजा गर्न इन्कार गर्नेहरू मारिन सकून् ।
16 High and low, rich and poor, free and enslaved – it causes a brand to be put on the right hand or on the forehead of every one of them,
अनि त्यसले शक्तिशाली र महत्त्वहीन, धनी र गरिब, स्वतन्त्र र कमारा हरेकलाई दाहिने हात वा निधारमा चिह्न लगाउन दबाब दियो ।
17 so that no one is able to buy or sell, except those that bear this brand – either the name of the Beast or the number indicated by the letters of his name.
त्यो पशुको चिह्न नभएकाहरूका निम्ति किन्न वा बेच्न असम्भव हुन्थ्यो । त्यो पशुको चिह्नले त्यसको नाउँको सङ्ख्यालाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्दछ ।
18 (Here there is need for discernment.) The person with ability can compute the number of the Beast; for the number indicates a person’s name. Its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
यसले बुद्धिको आव्हान गर्छ । कसैसँग अन्तर्दृष्टि छ भने, त्यसले पशुको सङ्ख्या हिसाब गरोस् । किनकि त्यो सङ्ख्या मानव-जातिको निम्ति हो । यो सङ्ख्या ६६६ हो ।
