< 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 stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, 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 which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, 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.
One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marvelled at the beast.
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?
They worshipped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war 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.
A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.
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.
He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell 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 was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
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 dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.
9 Koute byen wi, si nou gen zòrèy pou tande!
If anyone has an ear, let him 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.
If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the 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.
I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it 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.
He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal 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.
He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.
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.
He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and 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 given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed.
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.
He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands or on their foreheads;
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.
and that no one would be able to buy or to sell unless he has that mark, which is the name 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. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.
