< 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.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
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.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, 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.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after 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?
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
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.
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two 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 he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that 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.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all families, and tongues, and nations.
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 that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 Ina he pepeiao ko kekahi, e hoolohe mai ia.
If any man have 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.
He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the 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.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as 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 he execises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was 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 he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
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.
And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
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.
And he had power to give life (pneuma) unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should 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 he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
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.
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his 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 wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
