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.
and he took his stand on the sea-shore. Then I saw, rising out of the sea, a wild Beast with ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names.
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 that I saw was like a leopard; but its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave it his power and his throne, and wide dominion.
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.
One of its heads seemed to me to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth followed 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?
and men worshiped the Dragon, because he had given his dominion to the Beast; while, as they worshiped the Beast, they said – “Who can compare with the Beast? And who can fight with it?”
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.
The Beast was given a mouth that spoke proudly and blasphemously, and it was empowered to work its will for 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.
It opened its mouth only to blaspheme God, to blaspheme his name and his tent – those who live in his tent 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.
It had been permitted to fight with Christ’s people and to conquer them, and it had received power over men of every tribe, and people, and language, 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.
All who are living on earth will worship it – all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb that has been sacrificed from the foundation of the world.
9 Koute byen wi, si nou gen zòrèy pou tande!
Let those who have ears hear.
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 for captivity goes into captivity. Whoever will kill with the sword must inevitably be killed with the sword. (Here there is need for endurance and faith on the part of Christ’s people.)
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.
Then I saw, rising out of the earth, another wild Beast. It had two horns like those of a lamb, and its voice was like a dragon’s.
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.
It exercises all the authority of the first Beast under its eyes; and it makes the earth and all who are living on it worship that first Beast, whose mortal wound 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.
It performs great marvels, even causing fire to fall from the heavens to the earth, before people’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 in consequence of the marvels which it was allowed to perform under the eyes of the Beast, it is able to deceive all who are living on the earth. It tells those who live on the earth to make a statue in honour of the Beast, who, despite the wound from the sword, 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.
It was permitted to breathe life into the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast might speak; and it was also permitted to cause all who refused to worship the image of the Beast to 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.
High and low, rich and poor, free and enslaved – it causes a brand to be put on the right hand or on the forehead of every one of them,
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 is able to buy or sell, except those that bear this brand – either the name of the Beast or the number indicated by the letters 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 there is need for discernment.) The person with ability can compute the number of the Beast; for the number indicates a person’s name. Its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
