Revelasyon 13
1 Apre sa, mwen wè yon bèt ki t'ap soti nan lanmè a, li te gen dis kòn ak sèt tèt. Li te gen yon kouwòn sou chak kòn. Li te gen make sou chak tèt li yo yon non ki te yon gwo jouman pou Bondye.
Then I saw rising up out of the sea a beast who had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns he had ten diadems, and on his heads blasphemous titles.
2 Bèt mwen te wè a te sanble ak yon gwo chat tou jòn ak tach nwa sou tout kò li. pa t' li yo te plat tankou pa t' yon lous, bouch li te tankou bouch lyon. Dragon an ba li pouvwa li, li ba li plas chèf li te genyen an ansanm ak gwo pouvwa li t'ap egzèse a.
The beast I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were bear’s feet, and his mouth a lion’s mouth. The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.
3 Yonn nan sèt tèt yo te resevwa yon blese ki te manke touye li. Men, blese a te geri. Tout moun te sezi wè sa, yo pran swiv bèt la.
And I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth was following the beast, wondering.
4 Tout moun pran adore dragon an paske li te bay bèt la pouvwa li. Yo adore bèt la tou, yo t'ap di: Kilès ki tankou bèt la? Kilès ki ka goumen avè li?
Men worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying. "Who is like the beast? Who can fight with him?"
5 Bèt la te resevwa pouvwa pou l' te di tout kalite pawòl awogan pou joure Bondye. Yo ba l' pouvwa fè sa l' vle pandan karannde mwa.
And he was permitted to utter loud boasts and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty-two months.
6 Bèt la pran pale Bondye mal, li pase non Bondye nan betiz ansanm ak kote Bondye rete a, ak tout moun ki rete nan sièl la.
So he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle (those who live in his tabernacle in heaven).
7 Yo ba l' pouvwa pou l' fè lagè ak tout moun k'ap sèvi Bondye yo, jouk pou l' te genyen batay la. Yo ba l' pouvwa sou moun tout ras, tout peyi, tout lang ak tout nasyon.
The beast was allowed to wage war upon the saints, and to conquer them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation;
8 Tout moun sou latè pral adore l', sa vle di tout moun ki pa t' gen non yo ekri nan liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a depi lè Bondye t'ap kreye tout bagay la, liv ki pou ti Mouton yo te touye a.
and each one whose name has not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who has been slain from the foundation of the world. All who dwell on the earth shall worship him.
9 Koute byen wi, si nou gen zòrèy pou tande!
Let him who has ears to hear, listen.
10 Moun ki la pou al nan prizon pral nan prizon. Moun ki la pou mouri anba kout nepe pral mouri anba kout nepe. Se poutèt sa, se pou moun Bondye yo gen anpil pasians ak konfians nan Bondye.
Whoever is destined to go into captivity, goes into captivity. Whoever shall kill with the sword, shall surely be killed by the sword. (Here is the endurance and faith of the saints.)
11 Apre sa, mwen wè yon lòt bèt ki soti anba tè a. Li te gen de kòn tankou kòn mouton, li t'ap pale tankou yon dragon.
And I saw another beast ascending from the land; and he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon;
12 Li pran tout pouvwa premie bèt la pou l' te kòmande devan je li. Li fòse latè ak tout moun ki sou latè pou yo adore premie bèt ki te blese amò men ki te geri a.
and he exerts the full authority of the first beast before him, and he makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast whose death-stroke was healed.
13 Dezyèm bèt la t'ap fè anpil gwo mirak, li fè dife soti nan sièl la desann sou latè devan tout moun.
And he performs great miracles, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from the sky, before men’s eyes.
14 Moun ki rete sou latè yo te pèdi tèt yo lè yo wè mirak yo te ba l' dwa fè devan je premie bèt la. Li mande yo pou yo fè yon estati bèt ki te blese amò ak kout nepe a men ki te byen vivan an.
And he deceives those who dwell on the earth, because of the miracles, which he is permitted to perform in the sight of the beast. He tells those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the sword-stroke, yet lived.
15 Dezyèm bèt la resevwa pouvwa pou l' te fè estati premie bèt la tounen vivan. Konsa, estati a ka pale, li ka touye moun ki pa adore li.
And he was permitted to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak; and so that any one who would not worship the image of the beast should be put to death.
16 Bèt la te egzije pou tout moun, piti kou gran, rich kou pòv, esklav kou lib, pou yo te resevwa yon mak sou men dwat yo osinon sou fwon yo.
And he makes all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a brand put upon their right hands or upon their brows,
17 Pesonn pa t' kapab ni achte ni vann anyen si li pa t' gen mak sa a, sa vle di si l' pa t' gen non bèt la osinon nimewo ki koresponn ak non l' lan.
so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the brand of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Bagay sa a mande anpil bon konprann. Moun ki gen konprann ka resoud pwoblèm nimewo bèt la. Nimewo sa a se non yon moun li ye. Men nimewo a: sisanswasannsis (666).
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.
