Apokalypsy 13
1 Le nijagarodoñe amy faseñe añ’olon-driakey re. Treako amy zao ty biby nitroatse boak’an-driak’ ao, aman-tsifa folo naho loha fito, naho nisampe amy tsifa’e rey ty sabakan’enge folo, vaho ninday añaran-katerateràñe i loha’e rey.
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 Nanahake ty farasy i biby nanteakoy, naho hoe aman-tombom-bera vaho hoe vavan-diona ty vava’e. Natolo’ i fañaneñey aze ty haozara’e naho ty fiambesam-pifehea’e vaho ty lily mitiotiotse,
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 le hoe pinaratsake ty loha’e raike ho naha-valaenkañe aze, fe nijangañe i fere ho nahafatey, vaho fonga nañorike i bibiy an-dàtsa ty voatse toy,
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 nitalaho amy fañaneñe nañomey lily i bibiy, mbore niambane amy bibiy le nanao ty hoe: Ia ty mañirinkiriñe i bibiy? Ia ty hahafialy ama’e?
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 Nomeam-bava re hivolambolañe firengeañe naho titse, vaho nomean-dily hifehea’e volañe efa-polo-ro’amby;
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 aa le sinoka’e ty montsili’e niteratera an’ Andrianañahare, nañìnje ty tahina’e naho i kivoho’ey vaho o mpimoneñe andindìñeo.
It [MTY] insulted God, insulted the place where he lives, and insulted everyone who lives with him in heaven.
7 Natolots’aze ty hialy amo noro’eo naho handrebake, naho ty lily hifehea’e ze hene foko naho ondaty naho fameleke vaho fifelehañe.
[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 Hene hiambane amy bibiy ze mpimoneñe an-tane atoy, ze tsy misokitse amy boken-kavelo’ i Vik’ añondry vinono am-pifotora’ ty voatse toiy i tahina’ey.
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 Ze aman-dravembia, mijanjiña:
Everyone who wants to understand [MTY] must listen carefully to [this message from God]:
10 Ze hasese an-drohy le mb’am-bahorañe añe ty haneseañe aze, ze ho vonoe’ ty fibara, le am-pibara ty hampivetrahañe aze. Inao ty fahaliñisañe naho ty fatokisa’ o noro’eo.
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 Naheoko te indroke ty biby tovo’e nidagarìtse boak’ an-tane ao, aman-tsifa roe hoe añondry f’ie nivolañe hoe fañaneñe.
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 Toloñe’e iaby o lili’ i biby valoha’e añatrefa’eio; fonga ampitalahoe’e amy biby valoha’e nanam-père ho nahafate nimelañey ty tane toy naho o mpimoneñe ama’eo.
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 Le anoa’e viloñe jabajaba, ie mampanjotso afo boak’ andindìñe ey pak’an-tane atoy añ’atrefa’ ondatio;
The second beast performed awesome miracles, even causing fire from the sky to fall to earth while people watched.
14 le fitahe’e o mpimoneñe an-tane atoio amo viloñe natolots’ aze hanoe’e añatrefa’ i bibiy, hanjizy o mpimoneñe an-tane atoio handranjy ty sare’ i biby amam-perem-pibara nibodan-ko veloñey.
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 Le nitoloran-dily hampikofòke ty sare’ i bibiy, hampivolañe i sarem-bibiy vaho hañohofa’e loza amy ze fonga mifoneñe tsy hiambane amy sarem-bibiy.
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 Le hene ampitombohe’e viloñe am-pitàn-kavana’e eo ndra an-dahara’e eo ty kede naho ty bey, o mpañalealeo naho o rarakeo, o fokonontsoao vaho ondevoo,
[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 tsy hahavily ndra hahaletake naho tsy ama’e i viloñey, ndra ty añara’ i bibiy, ndra ty ia’ i añara’ey.
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 Inao ty hihitse. Soa re te hamolily ty ia’ i bibiy ty mahilala, amy t’ie ty ia’ ondaty, toe Enen-jato-tsi-enem-polo-eneñ’ amby i ia’ey.
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.
