Hoikeana 13
1 KU iho la au ma ke one o ke kai, a ike aku la i kekahi holoholona e hoea mai ana, mailoko mai o ke kai, me na pepeiaohao he umi a me na poo ehiku, a ma kona mau pepeiaohao, he umi leialii, a maluna o kona mau poo na inoa o ka hoomainoino.
Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.
2 A o ua holoholona la a'u i ike ai, ua like ia me ka leopadi, a o kona wawae ua like me ko ka hea, o kona waha me ka waha o ka liona. A haawi hoi ka deragona ia ia i kona mana a me kona nohoalii a me ka ikaika nui.
The beast I saw was like a leopard, with the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
3 A ike au, ua eha hoi kekahi o kona mau poo, aneane make; a hoolaia'ku la kona eha make. Mahalo aku la ko ke ao nei a pau mamuli o ka holoholona.
One of the heads of the beast appeared to be mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast.
4 Hoomana aku la lakou i ka deragona nana i haawi i ka ikaika no ua holoholona la; a hoomana lakou i ka holoholona, i ae la, Owai la ka mea like me ia holoholona? owai hoi ka mea hiki ke kaua aku ia ia?
They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?”
5 A ua haawiia ka waha e olelo i na mea nui a me na mea hoomainoino: a ua haawiia mai nana e hana i na malama hookahi kanaha a me kumamalua.
The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months.
6 Hoaka ae la oia i kona waha e hoomainoino i ke Akua, e hoomainoino i kona inoa, a me kona halelewa a me ka poe e noho la ma ka lani.
And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven.
7 Ua haawiia mai nana e kaua i na haipule, a e lanakila maluna o lakou; a ua haawiia mai la nana ka mana maluna o na ohana a pau, a me na olelo a pau, a me na lahuikanaka a pau.
Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
8 A e hoomana aku ia ia ka poe a pau e noho aua ma ka honua, ka poe aole i kakauia ko lakou inoa ma ka buke o ke ola a ke Keikihipa, ka mea i pepehiia mai ka hookumu ana mai o ka honua nei.
And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.
9 Ina he pepeiao ko kekahi, e hoolohe mai ia.
He who has an ear, let him hear:
10 Ina e alakai pio aku kekahi, oia kekahi e hele pio. O ka mea pepehi aku me ka pahikaua, e pepehiia oia me ka pahikaua. Eia ka hoomanawanui a me ka manaoio o ka poe haipule.
“If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he will go; if anyone is to die by the sword, by the sword he must be killed.” Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.
11 A ike aku la au i kahi holoholona hou e hoea mai ana, mailoko mai o ka honua; elua ona pepeiaohao e like me ke keikihipa, a olelo ae la ia e like me ka deragona.
Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon.
12 Hana iho la no ia me ka mana a pau o ka holoholona mua ma kona alo, a nana no i hoohuli i ka honua a me ka poe e noho ana maluna iho, e hoomana i ka holoholona mua nona ka eha make i hoolaia.
And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
13 A hana iho la ia i na mea kupanaha loa, a hoohaule mai la oia i ke ahi, mai ka lani mai a ka honua imua i ke alo o kanaka;
And the second beast performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people.
14 A hoowalewale oia i ka poe i noho ma ka honua, ma na mea kupanaha i haawiia mai nana e hana, imua o ka holoholona. I mai kela i ka poe e noho ana ma ka honua, e hana lakou i kii no ka holoholona i loaa ka eha i ka pahikaua, a ola hoi.
Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived.
15 A ua haawiia mai nana e hookomo i ke ola iloko o ua kii nei o ka holoholona, i olelo mai ke kii o ka holoholona, a nana no e pepehi a make ka poe a pau i hoomana ole i ke kii o ka holoholona.
The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed.
16 Nana no i hana aku i ka poe uuku a me ka poe nui, i ka poe waiwai a me ka poe hune, i ka poe paa ole, a me ka poe paa, e haawi ia lakou i hoailona ma ko lakou lima akau, a i ole ia, ma ko lakou lae:
And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
17 I ole ai e hiki i kekahi ke kuai aku a kuai mai, ke loaa ole ia ia ka hoailona, ka inoa o ka holoholona, a o ka heluna paha o kona inoa.
so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 Maanei no ke akamai: o ka mea noonoo, e helu oia i ka heluna o ua holoholona nei; no ka mea, oia no ka heluna o ke kanaka, a o kona heluna eono haneri ia me ke kanaonokumamaono.
Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.
