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.
Nayo ndamathia ĩyo ĩkĩrũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria. Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩona nyamũ ĩkiuma iria thĩinĩ. Nyamũ ĩyo yarĩ na hĩa ikũmi, na mĩtwe mũgwanja, na hĩa-inĩ ciayo yarĩ na thũmbĩ ikũmi, na o mũtwe wayo warĩ na rĩĩtwa rĩa kũruma Ngai.
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.
Nyamũ ĩyo ndonire yahaanaga ta ngarĩ, no magũrũ mayo maatariĩ ta ma nduba, nako kanua kayo kahaanaga ta ka mũrũũthi. Nayo ndamathia ĩyo ĩkĩhe nyamũ ĩyo hinya wayo na gĩtĩ kĩayo kĩa ũnene o na wathani mũnene.
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.
Mũtwe ũmwe wa nyamũ ĩyo wonekaga ta waringĩtwo iringa rĩa kĩũrago, no iringa rĩu rĩa kĩũrago nĩrĩahonete. Nayo thĩ yothe nĩyagegete na ĩkĩrũmĩrĩra nyamũ ĩyo.
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?"
Nao andũ magĩkĩhooya ndamathia ĩyo tondũ nĩyaheete nyamũ ĩyo ũhoti wayo, o na makĩhooya nyamũ ĩyo, na makooragia atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũtariĩ ta nyamũ ĩno? Nũũ ũngĩmĩũkĩrĩra, arũe nayo?”
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.
Nayo nyamũ ĩyo ĩkĩheo kanua ga kwaria ciugo cia mwĩtĩĩo na cia kũruma Ngai, na ĩkĩheo ihinda rĩa gwathana rĩa mĩeri mĩrongo ĩna na ĩĩrĩ.
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.
Nyamũ ĩyo ĩgĩtumũra kanua ĩrume Ngai, na ĩcambie rĩĩtwa rĩake, na gĩikaro gĩake, o na arĩa matũũraga kũu igũrũ.
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.
Nĩyaheirwo hinya nĩguo ĩrũe na arĩa aamũre na ĩmatoorie. Na ĩkĩheo wathani igũrũ rĩa mĩhĩrĩga yothe, na andũ a iruka ciothe, na thiomi ciothe, o na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
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.
Nao andũ othe arĩa matũũraga gũkũ thĩ kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo, arĩa othe marĩĩtwa mao matarĩ maandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo rĩa Gatũrũme karĩa gaathĩnjirwo, makĩinamĩrĩra nyamũ ĩyo mamĩhooe.
9 Let all who have ears give heed.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na gũtũ nĩakĩigue.
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.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo nĩ wa gũtahwo, nĩegũtahwo athiĩ. Mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo nĩ wa kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, ndarĩ hĩndĩ atakooragwo na rũhiũ. Ũguo nĩkuonania atĩ andũ arĩa aamũre nĩmabataire gũkirĩrĩria, na marĩ na wĩtĩkio.
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.
Ngĩcooka ngĩona nyamũ ĩngĩ, ĩkiuma na thĩ. Nyamũ ĩyo yarĩ na hĩa igĩrĩ ta cia gatũrũme, no yaaragia ta ndamathia.
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.
Nyamũ ĩyo ĩgĩathana na ũhoti wothe wa nyamũ ĩrĩa ya mbere ithenya rĩayo, ĩgĩtũma thĩ na arĩa othe matũũraga kuo mahooyage nyamũ ĩyo ya mbere, o ĩyo yahonete iringa rĩayo rĩa kĩũrago.
13 He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.
Nayo ĩkĩringa ciama nene na morirũ, o na ĩgĩtũma mwaki ũikũrũke uume igũrũ ũũke thĩ andũ makĩonaga.
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.
Tondũ wa morirũ macio nĩyaheirwo hinya wa kũringa ciama ithenya rĩa nyamũ ĩyo ya mbere, ĩkĩheenia andũ arĩa matũire thĩ. Ningĩ ĩgĩatha andũ mathondeke mũhianano nĩ ũndũ wa gũtĩĩa nyamũ ĩyo, yagurarĩtio na rũhiũ rwa njora no yarĩ o muoyo.
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.
Nĩyaheirwo hinya wa kũhe mũhianano ũcio wa nyamũ ĩyo ya mbere mĩhũmũ, nĩguo ũhote kwaria, na ũtũme arĩa othe maaregete kũhooya mũhianano ũcio wa nyamũ ĩyo mooragwo.
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,
Ningĩ nĩyaathire andũ othe na hinya, arĩa anini na arĩa anene, arĩa itonga na arĩa athĩĩni, arĩa meyathĩte na arĩa ngombo, o mũndũ ekĩrwo rũũri guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo kana thiithi-inĩ wake,
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.
nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũngĩendia kana agũre, atarĩ na rũũri rũu, na nĩruo rĩĩtwa rĩa nyamũ ĩyo, kana namba ya rĩĩtwa rĩayo.
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.
Ũndũ ũyũ nĩũbataire ũũgĩ. Mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo arĩ na ũmenyo-rĩ, nĩeke ithabu rĩa namba ya nyamũ ĩyo, nĩgũkorwo nĩ namba ya mũndũ. Nayo namba yake nĩ 666.
