Revelation 13

1 And (he stood *N(K)O*) upon the sand of the sea. And I saw out of the sea a beast rising, having horns ten and heads seven and on the horns of it ten royal crowns and upon the heads of it (names *N(K)O*) of blasphemy.

Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.

2 And the beast that I saw was like as a leopard and the feet of it like (a bear’s *N(k)O*) and the mouth of it like [the] mouth of a lion. And gave to it the dragon the power of him and the throne of him and authority great.

The beast I saw was like a leopard, with the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.

3 And (I saw *K*) one of the heads of it ([was] as *NK(o)*) slain to death, And the wound the of death of it was healed, and (marveled *NK(o)*) (in *ko*) all ([on] the earth *NK(o)*) after the beast.

One of the heads of the beast appeared to be mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast.

4 And they worshiped (the dragon *N(k)O*) (that *N(k)(o)*) (gave *NK(o)*) authority to the beast and they worshiped (the beast *N(k)O*) saying; Who [is] like as the beast (And *no*) who (is able *NK(o)*) to make war against it?

They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?”

5 And was given to it a mouth speaking great things and (blasphemies *NK(o)*) and was given to it authority (war *O*) to act months forty (and *no*) two.

The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months.

6 And it opened the mouth of it unto (blasphemies *N(k)O*) against God to blaspheme the name of Him and the tabernacle of Him, (and *k*) those in heaven dwelling.

And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven.

7 And there was given to it to make war with the saints and to overcome them And was given to it authority over every tribe (and people *NO*) and tongue and nation.

Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

8 And will worship (it *N(k)O*) all those dwelling on the earth, (each of whom *N(k)O*) not have been written (the name *N(k)O*) (of him *no*) in (the book *N(k)O*) of life of the Lamb which slain from [the] founding of [the] world.

And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.

9 If anyone has an ear, he should hear.

He who has an ear, let him hear:

10 If anyone (into *n(o)*) captivity (gathers *K*) into captivity he goes, If anyone with [the] sword (is to be killed, *N(k)O*) (it is necessary for *ko*) him by [the] sword [is] to be killed; Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

“If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he will go; if anyone is to die by the sword, by the sword he must be killed.” Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.

11 And I saw another beast rising out of the earth, and it had horns two like as a lamb and it was speaking like a dragon.

Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon.

12 And the authority of the first beast all it exercises on behalf of it and (makes *NK(o)*) the earth and those in it dwelling that (they will worship *N(k)O*) the beast first, of whom was healed the wound the fatal of it.

And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.

13 And it works signs great so that even fire it may cause out of heaven (to come down to *NK(o)*) the earth in the presence of men.

And the second beast performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people.

14 And it deceives (those *k*) (mine *O*) who dwelling on the earth through the signs that were given to it to perform before the beast telling to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast (that *N(k)O*) (has *NK(o)*) the wound (from *o*) of the sword and has lived.

Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived.

15 And there was given (to it *NK(o)*) to give breath to the image of the beast so that also may speak the image of the beast, and may cause that as many as (might *N(k)O*) not shall worship (the image *N(k)O*) of the beast shall be killed.

The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed.

16 And it causes all the small and the great and the rich and the poor and the free and the servants, that (it may give *N(k)(o)*) to them (a mark *N(k)O*) on the hand of them right or on (the *N(k)O*) (forehead *N(K)O*) of them,

And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

17 and that no one (may be able *NK(o)*) to buy or to sell only except the [one] having the mark — (or *K*) the name of the beast or the number of the name of it.

so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.

18 Here the wisdom is. The [one] having (*k*) understanding he should count the number of the beast, number for a man’s it is, and the number of it (is *o*) (six hundred sixty *N(K)O*) (six. *N(k)O*)

Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.
