< Ru’uya ta Yohanna 13 >
1 Macijin kuwa ya tsaya a bakin teku. Sai na ga wata dabba tana fitowa daga teku. Tana da ƙahoni goma da kawuna bakwai, da kuma rawani goma a ƙahoninta, a kowane kai kuwa akwai sunan saɓo.
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 Dabbar da na gani ta yi kamar damisa, amma tana da ƙafafu kamar na beyar, bakinta kuma ya yi kamar na zaki. Macijin nan ya ba wa dabbar ƙarfinsa da gadon sarautarsa da kuma ikonsa mai girma.
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 Ɗaya daga cikin kawunan dabbar ya yi kamar yana da raunin da zai iya kashe shi, amma raunin nan da zai iya kashe shi ya riga ya warke. Dukan duniya ta yi mamaki ta kuma bi dabbar.
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 Mutane suka yi wa macijin sujada domin ya ba wa dabbar ikonsa, suka yi wa dabbar sujada, suka kuma yi tambaya cewa, “Wane ne yake kama da dabban nan? Wa zai iya yaƙe ta?”
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 Aka ba wa dabbar baki don ta faɗi kalmomin girman kai da na saɓo ta kuma yi amfani da ikonta har watanni arba’in da biyu.
The Beast was given ‘a mouth that spoke proudly’ and blasphemously, and it was empowered to work its will for forty-two months.
6 Ta buɗe bakinta don tă yi wa Allah saɓo, ta kuma ɓata sunansa da kuma mazauninsa da na waɗanda suke zama a sama.
It opened its mouth only to blaspheme God, to blaspheme his Name and his Tabernacle — those who dwell in his Tabernacle in Heaven.
7 Aka ba ta iko tă yaƙi tsarkaka tă kuma ci nasara a kansu. Aka kuma ba ta iko bisa kowace kabila, jama’a, harshe da kuma al’umma.
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 Dukan mazaunan duniya za su yi wa dabbar sujada, dukan waɗanda ba a rubuta sunayensu a cikin littafin ran da yake na Ɗan Ragon da aka yanka tun kafin halittar duniya ba.
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 Duk mai kunne ji, bari yă ji.
Let him who has ears hear.
10 Duk wanda aka ƙaddara ga bauta, ga bauta zai tafi. Duk wanda aka ƙaddara za a kashe da takobi, da takobin za a kashe shi. Wannan yana bukata haƙuri da aminci a gefen tsarkaka.
‘Whoever is destined for captivity goes into captivity.’ Whoever shall 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 Sai na ga wata dabba tana fitowa daga ƙasa. Tana da ƙahoni biyu kamar ɗan rago, amma ta yi magana kamar maciji.
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 Ta mori dukan ikon dabban nan ta fari a madadinta, ta sa duniya da mazaunanta su yi wa dabba ta farin nan sujada, wadda aka warkar mata da raunin nan da zai iya kashe ta.
It exercises all the authority of the first Beast under its very eyes; and it makes the earth and all who are living on it worship that first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
13 Ta kuma yi manyan ayyuka da kuma alamu masu banmamaki, har ta sa wuta ta sauko daga sama zuwa ƙasa a gaban idon mutane.
It performs great marvels, even causing fire to fall from the heavens to the earth, before men’s eyes;
14 Saboda alamun nan da aka ba ta iko tă yi a madadin dabban nan ta fari, sai ta ruɗi mazaunan duniya. Ta umarce su su kafa siffa don girmama dabbar da aka ji mata rauni da takobi duk da haka ta rayu.
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 bids 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 Aka ba ta iko tă ba da numfashi ga siffar dabban nan ta fari, don tă yi magana tă kuma sa a kashe duk waɗanda suka ƙi yi wa siffar sujada.
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 Ta kuma tilasta wa kowa, manya da yara, mawadata da matalauta,’yantattu da bayi, don a yi musu alama a hannun dama ko a goshi,
High and low, rich and poor, freemen and slaves — it causes a brand to be put on the right hand or on the forehead of every one of them,
17 don kada kowa yă saya ko yă sayar, sai dai yana da alamar, wadda take sunan dabbar ko kuma lambar sunanta.
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 Wannan yana bukata hikima. Duk mai hankali, sai yă lissafta lambar dabbar, gama lamban nan ta mutum ne. Lambarta kuwa ita ce 666.
(Here there is need for discernment.) Let him who has the ability compute the number of the Beast; for the number indicates a man’s name. Its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
