Revelation 13
1 And he took up a position upon the sands of the sea-shore. Then I saw a Wild Beast coming up out of the sea, and he had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten kingly crowns, and inscribed on his heads were names full of blasphemy.
龙站在海岸处，然后我又看见一个野兽从海里升起，他有十角七头，十角戴着十个皇冠，七头上显示亵渎的名字。
2 The Wild Beast which I saw resembled a leopard, and had feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion; and it was to the Dragon that he owed his power and his throne and his wide dominion.
我所看见的野兽外表好似豹子，脚如熊，口像狮子。龙把自己的能力、王位和伟大权力都交给了它。
3 I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded; but his mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was amazed and followed him.
兽的七头中，有一个似乎受了致命伤，但那致命伤却医好了。地球上的每个人都对那野兽感到惊奇，
4 And they offered worship to the Dragon, because it was to him that the Wild Beast owed his dominion; and they also offered worship to the Wild Beast, and said, "Who is there like him? And who is able to engage in battle with him?"
于是纷纷膜拜那龙，因为他已经将其权力交给了野兽；于是他们膜拜野兽，询问：“有谁可以跟这兽相比？谁能战胜它？”
5 And there was given him a mouth full of boastful and blasphemous words; and liberty of action was granted him for forty-two months.
他被赋予了大肆吹嘘和说亵渎话的能力，而且他还被授予了四十二个月个月的权力，可以这样做。
6 And he opened his mouth to utter blasphemies against God, to speak evil of His name and of His dwelling-place--that is to say, of those who dwell in Heaven.
他一开口，就向上帝说出亵渎的话，侮辱了他的人格、他的圣殿以及那些住在天上的。
7 And permission was given him to make war upon God's people and conquer them; and power was given him over every tribe, people, language and nation.
那野兽获得攻击信徒的权力，能够战胜他们；他也被赋予了对每个民族、部落、语言和国家的权柄。。
8 And all the inhabitants of the earth will be found to be worshipping him: every one whose name is not recorded in the Book of Life--the Book of the Lamb who has been offered in sacrifice ever since the creation of the world.
所有住在地上的人都膜拜它，那些名字没有记录在生命书之中的人，这本书属于创世以来被杀的羊羔。
9 Let all who have ears give heed.
如果你有耳朵，就要听！
10 If any one is eager to lead others into captivity, he must himself go into captivity. If any one is bent on killing with the sword, he must himself be killed by the sword. Here is an opportunity for endurance, and for the exercise of faith, on the part of God's people.
如果人应该被虏获，就一定会被虏获；如果有人会被刀杀，就一定会刀杀。在显示了上帝信徒的忍耐和信心！
11 Then I saw another Wild Beast, coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
我又看见另一只野兽从地里升起。它有两个角，好像羊羔，说话好像龙。
12 And the authority of the first Wild Beast--the whole of that authority--he exercises in his presence, and he causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Wild Beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
他在与第一头野兽一样，拥有相同的权力，可以让大地和住在地上的人，都去膜拜那受过致命伤、但已被医好的第一头野兽。
13 He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.
他做出了伟大的奇迹，甚至在人面前从天上呼唤火，降落地上。
14 And his power of leading astray the inhabitants of the earth is due to the marvels which he has been permitted to work in the presence of the Wild Beast. And he told the inhabitants of the earth to erect a statue to the Wild Beast who had received the sword-stroke and yet had recovered.
他因为像第一头野兽那样可以做出神迹，于是迷惑了住在地上的人，便吩咐哪些人，要为受过刀伤、但死而复生的野兽做一个像。
15 And power was granted him to give breath to the statue of the Wild Beast, so that the statue of the Wild Beast could even speak and cause all who refuse to worship it to be put to death.
他被允许将生命之气注入那野兽的像，让兽像能够说话，能够杀害那些不拜兽像之人。
16 And he causes all, small and great, rich and poor, free men and slaves, to have stamped upon them a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
他又让每个人——无论虚弱强大、无论贫穷富有、无论自由或身为奴隶，在他们的右手或额头上得到一个标记。
17 in order that no one should be allowed to buy or sell unless he had the mark--either the name of the Wild Beast or the number which his name represents.
这记号就是那野兽的名字或他名字的数字，除了有记号的人，谁也不能买，也不能卖。
18 Here is scope for ingenuity. Let people of shrewd intelligence calculate the number of the Wild Beast; for it indicates a certain man, and his number is 666.
这里需要智慧。能够理解之人，应该可以计算出野兽的数字，因为这是人的数字，它的数字是 666。
