Paltiing 13
1 Ket nagtakder ti dragon iti kadaratan iti igid ti baybay. Ket adda nakitak a narungsot nga animal a limmung-aw manipud iti baybay. Addaan isuna iti sangapulo a sara ken pito nga ulo. Kadagiti sarana ket adda sangapulo a korona ken kadagiti ulona ket adda nagnagan a pananglais iti Dios.
The dragon stood on the ocean shore. I saw a beast that was coming up out of the ocean. It had ten horns and seven heads. On each [of] its horns there was a royal crown. On [each] of its heads there was a name that insulted [God].
2 Daytoy a nakitak a narungsot nga animal ket kasla leopardo ken dagiti sakana ket kasla kadagiti saka iti oso, ken ti ngiwatna ket kasla ngiwat ti leon. Inted ti dragon ti pannakabalinna kenkuana, ken ti tronona, ken ti naindaklan a turayna a mangituray.
The beast that I saw was like a leopard. But its feet were like the feet of a bear, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave the beast [power]. From his own throne he also gave it authority [to rule people] [DOU].
3 Kasla adda sugat iti maysa kadagiti ulo ti narungsot nga animal a mabalin koma a nakaigapuan iti pannakatayna. Ngem dayta a sugat ket naimbaganen, ket nagsiddaaw ti sibubukel a daga ken sinurotda ti narungsot nga animal. Nagdaydayawda met iti dragon, ta intedna ti turayna iti narungsot nga animal.
One of the heads of the beast had been wounded {[The Lord] had wounded one of the heads of the beast}, causing the beast to almost die. But its wound was healed. [As a result, nearly] all [the people of] the earth [HYP, MTY] marveled at the beast and became his disciples.
4 Dinaydayawda met ti narungsot nga animal, ket saanda a nagsaradeng a nangibagbaga, “Siasino iti kas iti narungsot nga animal?” ken “Siasino ti makabael a makiranget kenkuana?
They worshipped the dragon, because he had given to the beast authority [to rule people]. They also worshipped the beast, saying, “No one is [as powerful] as the beast!/ [RHQ] (No one would dare to fight against it!/Who would dare to fight against it?)” [RHQ]
5 Naikkan ti narungsot nga animal iti ngiwat a makapagsao kadagiti sasao a napalangguad ken pananglais. Napalubosan isuna a mangipakat iti kinaturayna iti las-ud iti uppat a pulo ket dua a bulan.
The beast was allowed {[God] allowed the beast} to speak [MTY] in a boastful way and to insult [God]. [It was also] allowed {[God] also allowed it} to rule [over people] for 42 months.
6 Nagsao ngarud ti narungsot kadagiti sasao a pananglais maibusor iti Dios, linalaisna ti nagan ti Dios, ti disso a paggigiananna, ken dagidiay agnaed idiay langit.
It [MTY] insulted God, insulted the place where he lives, and insulted everyone who lives with him in heaven.
7 Napalubosan ti narungsot nga animal a manggubat kadagiti namati ken mangparmek kadakuada. Kasta met a naikkan isuna iti turay kadagiti amin a tribu, tattao, pagsasao, ken pagilian.
[It was] allowed {[God] allowed it} to fight against God’s people and to conquer them. [It was] allowed {[God] allowed it} to have authority [to rule] over every tribe, over every people-[group], over [speakers of] every language [MTY], and over every nation.
8 Agdayawto kenkuana dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga, ti tunggal maysa a saan a naisurat ti naganna iti libro ti biag a kukua ti Kordero a napapatay, sipud pay iti pannakaparsua ti lubong.
Most of [HYP] the [people] living on earth worshipped it. They were people whose names were not written in a book by the [one who is like a] lamb, the one who had been killed. Since the beginning of the world [he wrote in it the names of the people who] will have [eternal] life.
9 No addaman ti addaan lapayag, dumngeg koma.
Everyone who wants to understand [MTY] must listen carefully to [this message from God]:
10 No addaman ti maipan iti pannakatiliw, mapanto isuna iti pannakatiliw. No addaman iti mapapatay iti kampilan, mapapatayto isuna babaen iti kampilan. Adtoy ti ayab para iti naanus a panagibtur ken pammati para kadagiti nasantoan.
If [God has determined] that some people will be captured by their [enemies], they will be captured. If [God has determined that] some people will be killed with a sword, they will be killed with a sword. So God’s people [must be] steadfast, and remain faithful [to him].
11 Ket adda nakitak a sabali pay a narungsot nga animal a rumrummuar manipud iti daga. Addaan isuna iti dua a sara a kas iti kordero ken nagsao a kasla dragon.
I saw another beast, which was coming up from the earth. It had two small horns [on its head] like a sheep has. But it spoke [things to deceive people], like the dragon does.
12 Impakatna ti amin a kinaturay ti immuna a narungsot nga animal iti imatang ti immuna a narungsot nga animal, ken pinagrukbabna ti lubong ken dagiti agnanaed iti rabaw daytoy iti narungsot nga animal – nga isu daydiay addaan iti makapatay a sugat a naimbaganen.
While the first beast watched, it used all the [same] authority [to rule people that the first beast had]. It forced the people who live on the earth [MTY, DOU] to worship the first beast, that is, the one who was healed of the wound that had caused it to almost die.
13 Nagaramid isuna kadagiti naindaklan a milagro, nga uray nala pinagtinnag iti apuy, manipud langit, ditoy daga iti sangoanan dagiti tattao,
The second beast performed awesome miracles, even causing fire from the sky to fall to earth while people watched.
14 ken babaen kadagiti pagilasinan a naipalubos nga aramidenna, inalillawna dagiti agnanaed iti rabaw ti daga, imbagana kadakuada a mangaramidda iti ladawan kas pammadayaw iti narungsot nga animal a nasugat babaen iti kampilan, ngem sibibiag pay laeng.
He performed miracles (on behalf of/with the authority of) the [first] beast. By doing that he deceived the [unbelieving] people on the earth so that they [believed that they should worship the first beast. But this happened only because God] allowed [it to happen]. The second beast told the people living on earth to make an image of the [first] beast, the one that [people] had almost killed with a sword and that then came back to life again.
15 Napalubosan isuna a mangted iti anges iti ladawan ti narungsot nga animal tapno mabalin pay a makapagsao ti ladawan ken papatayenna amin nga agtukiad nga agdayaw kenkuana.
The image of the [first] beast was allowed to breathe, in order that it might speak and in order that [it might command that] whoever refused to worship its image should be killed {that [people] should kill whoever refused to worship its image}.
16 Pinilitna met ti amin, dagiti nanumo ken natan-ok, dagiti nabaknang ken napanglaw, dagiti nawaya ken tagabu, nga awatenda ti marka iti makannawan nga ima wenno iti mugingda.
[The second beast] required also that [the first beast’s name] be marked {[its agents] mark [the first beast’s name]} on the right hand or on the forehead of everyone, those of little [social importance] and of great [social importance], the rich and the poor, free [people] and slaves. [Everyone]!
17 Awanto ti siasinoman a makagatang wenno makapaglako malaksid no adda kenkuana ti marka ti narungsot nga animal, dayta ket ti numero a mangibagbagi iti naganna.
They did this in order that people could not buy [anything] or sell [anything] if they did not have the mark, which represents the name of the beast or the number of its name, [on their foreheads].
18 Kasapulan ditoy ti kinasirib. No addaman ti addaan iti kapanunotan, pattapataenna koma ti numero ti narungsot nga animal. Ta daytoy ket numero ti maysa a tao. Ti numerona ket 666.
You must [think] wisely to understand [the meaning of the mark]. Anyone who thinks wisely should calculate from the number of the beast what the man’s name is. That number is 666.
