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 he took up a position upon the sands of the sea-shore. Then I saw a Wild Beast coming up out of the sea, and he had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten kingly crowns, and inscribed on his heads were names full 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.
The Wild Beast which I saw resembled a leopard, and had feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion; and it was to the Dragon that he owed his power and his throne and his wide dominion.
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.
I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded; but his mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was amazed and followed him.
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 offered worship to the Dragon, because it was to him that the Wild Beast owed his dominion; and they also offered worship to the Wild Beast, and said, "Who is there like him? And who is able to engage in battle 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 him a mouth full of boastful and blasphemous words; and liberty of action was granted him for forty-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 to utter blasphemies against God, to speak evil of His name and of His dwelling-place--that is to say, of 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.
And permission was given him to make war upon God's people and conquer them; and power was given him over every tribe, people, language 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 the inhabitants of the earth will be found to be worshipping him: every one whose name is not recorded in the Book of Life--the Book of the Lamb who has been offered in sacrifice ever since the creation of the world.
9 Ina he pepeiao ko kekahi, e hoolohe mai ia.
Let all who have ears give heed.
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 any one is eager to lead others into captivity, he must himself go into captivity. If any one is bent on killing with the sword, he must himself be killed by the sword. Here is an opportunity for endurance, and for the exercise of faith, on the part of God's people.
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 Wild Beast, coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he 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 the authority of the first Wild Beast--the whole of that authority--he exercises in his presence, and he causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Wild 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;
He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.
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 his power of leading astray the inhabitants of the earth is due to the marvels which he has been permitted to work in the presence of the Wild Beast. And he told the inhabitants of the earth to erect a statue to the Wild Beast who had received the sword-stroke and yet had recovered.
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 power was granted him to give breath to the statue of the Wild Beast, so that the statue of the Wild Beast could even speak and cause all who refuse to worship it to be put to death.
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, small and great, rich and poor, free men and slaves, to have stamped upon them a mark on their right hands or on 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.
in order that no one should be allowed to buy or sell unless he had the mark--either the name of the Wild Beast or the number which his name represents.
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 scope for ingenuity. Let people of shrewd intelligence calculate the number of the Wild Beast; for it indicates a certain man, and his number is 666.
