< Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 13 >
1 και εσταθην επι την αμμον της θαλασσης και ειδον εκ της θαλασσης θηριον αναβαινον εχον κερατα δεκα και κεφαλας επτα και επι των κερατων αυτου δεκα διαδηματα και επι τας κεφαλας αυτου ονοματα βλασφημιας
And I stood upon the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads names of blasphemy.
2 και το θηριον ο ειδον ην ομοιον παρδαλει και οι ποδες αυτου ως αρκου και το στομα αυτου ως στομα λεοντος και εδωκεν αυτω ο δρακων την δυναμιν αυτου και τον θρονον αυτου και εξουσιαν μεγαλην
And the beast which I saw was like to a leopardess, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth; and the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority;
3 και μιαν εκ των κεφαλων αυτου ωσει εσφαγμενην εις θανατον και η πληγη του θανατου αυτου εθεραπευθη και εθαυμασεν ολη η γη οπισω του θηριου
and one of his heads [was] as slain to death, and his wound of death had been healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast.
4 και προσεκυνησαν τω δρακοντι τω δεδωκοτι την εξουσιαν τω θηριω και προσεκυνησαν τω θηριω λεγοντες τις ομοιος τω θηριω και τις δυνατος πολεμησαι μετ αυτου
And they did homage to the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and they did homage to the beast, saying, Who [is] like to the beast? and who can make war with it?
5 και εδοθη αυτω στομα λαλουν μεγαλα και βλασφημιαν και εδοθη αυτω εξουσια πολεμον ποιησαι μηνας τεσσαρακοντα δυο
And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to it authority to pursue its career forty-two months.
6 και ηνοιξεν το στομα αυτου εις βλασφημιαν προς τον θεον βλασφημησαι το ονομα αυτου και την σκηνην αυτου τους εν τω ουρανω σκηνουντας
And it opened its mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and those who have their tabernacle in the heaven.
7 και εδοθη αυτω ποιησαι πολεμον μετα των αγιων και νικησαι αυτους και εδοθη αυτω εξουσια επι πασαν φυλην και λαον και γλωσσαν και εθνος
And there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation;
8 και προσκυνησουσιν αυτω παντες οι κατοικουντες επι της γης ων ου γεγραπται το ονομα εν τω βιβλιω της ζωης του αρνιου του εσφαγμενου απο καταβολης κοσμου
and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage, [every one] whose name had not been written from [the] founding of [the] world in the book of life of the slain Lamb.
9 ει τις εχει ους ακουσατω
If any one has an ear, let him hear.
10 ει τις εχει αιχμαλωσιαν υπαγει ει τις εν μαχαιρα αποκτενει δει αυτον εν μαχαιρα αποκτανθηναι ωδε εστιν η υπομονη και η πιστις των αγιων
If any one [leads] into captivity, he goes into captivity. If any one shall kill with [the] sword, he must with [the] sword be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
11 και ειδον αλλο θηριον αναβαινον εκ της γης και ειχεν κερατα δυο ομοια αρνιω και ελαλει ως δρακων
And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and it had two horns like to a lamb, and spake as a dragon;
12 και την εξουσιαν του πρωτου θηριου πασαν ποιει ενωπιον αυτου και εποιει την γην και τους εν αυτη κατοικουντας ινα προσκυνησωσιν το θηριον το πρωτον ου εθεραπευθη η πληγη του θανατου αυτου
and it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it, and causes the earth and those that dwell in it to do homage to the first beast, whose wound of death was healed.
13 και ποιει σημεια μεγαλα και πυρ ινα εκ του ουρανου καταβαινη επι την γην ενωπιον των ανθρωπων
And it works great signs, that it should cause even fire to come down from heaven to the earth before men.
14 και πλανα [τους εμους] τους κατοικουντας επι της γης δια τα σημεια α εδοθη αυτω ποιησαι ενωπιον του θηριου λεγων τοις κατοικουσιν επι της γης ποιησαι εικονα τω θηριω ο ειχεν την πληγην της μαχαιρας και εζησεν
And it deceives those that dwell upon the earth by reason of the signs which it was given to it to work before the beast, saying to those that dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, which has the wound of the sword, and lived.
15 και εδοθη αυτω πνευμα δουναι τη εικονι του θηριου ινα και λαληση η εικων του θηριου και ποιηση οσοι εαν μη προσκυνησωσιν τη εικονι του θηριου αποκτανθωσιν
And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should also speak, and should cause that as many as should not do homage to the image of the beast should be killed.
16 και ποιει παντας τους μικρους και τους μεγαλους και τους πλουσιους και τους πτωχους και τους ελευθερους και τους δουλους ινα δωσιν αυτοις χαραγματα επι της χειρος αυτων της δεξιας η επι των μετωπων αυτων
And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead;
17 και ινα μη τις δυναται αγορασαι η πωλησαι ει μη ο εχων το χαραγμα το ονομα του θηριου η τον αριθμον του ονοματος αυτου
and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name.
18 ωδε η σοφια εστιν ο εχων νουν ψηφισατω τον αριθμον του θηριου αριθμος γαρ ανθρωπου εστιν [και] ο αριθμος αυτου [εστιν] χξς
Here is wisdom. He that has understanding let him count the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and its number [is] six hundred [and] sixty-six.
