प्रकाश 13
1 तब त्यो अजिङ्गर समुद्र किनारको बालुवामाथि उभियो । त्यसपछि मैले समुद्रबाट एउटा पशु आइरहेको देखेँ । त्यसको दसवटा सिङ र सातवटा टाउका थिए । त्यसका सिङहरूमाथि दसवटा मुकुट थिए, र हरेक टाउकामाथि ईश्वर-निन्दाका नाउँहरू थिए ।
AND I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon the horns ten diadems, and upon the heads a title of blasphemy.
2 मैले देखेको त्यो पशु चितुवाजस्तै थियो । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू भालुका जस्ता थिए, र त्यसको मुख सिंहको जस्तो थियो । त्यसलाई शासन गर्नको निम्ति एउटा अजिङ्गरले आफ्नो शक्ति, आफ्नो सिंहासन र आफ्नो महान् अधिकार दियो ।
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 throne, and great authority.
3 त्यो पशुको टाउकामा गहिरो चोट थियो, जसले मृत्युसम्म लैजान सक्थ्यो, तर त्यो घाउ निको भयो । र सारा पृथ्वी अचम्मित भयो र तिनीहरूले त्यस पशुलाई पछ्याए ।
And I saw one of his heads as if wounded unto death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the earth wondered after the beast.
4 तिनीहरूले अजिङ्गरको पनि आराधना गर्दथे, किनकि त्यसले आफ्नो अधिकार त्यस पशुलाई दिएको थियो । “यो पशुजस्तो अरू को छ र?” र “यसको विरुद्धमा कसले लडाइँ गर्न सक्छ र?” भन्दै तिनीहरूले त्यस पशुलाई आराधना गरे ।
And they worshipped the dragon who had given authority to the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like to the beast? who is able to wage war with him?
5 त्यसको मुखमा घमण्डका वचनहरू बोल्न र ईश्वर-निन्दा गर्ने वचनहरू बोल्न दिइयो । त्यसलाई बयालिस महिनाको निम्ति अधिकार गर्न अनुमति दिइएको थियो ।
And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to make war forty-two months.
6 त्यसैले, परमेश्वरको विरुद्ध ईश्वर-निन्दा गर्न, उहाँको नाउँ, उहाँको वासस्थान र स्वर्गमा बस्नेहरूका विरुद्धमा निन्दा गर्न त्यस पशुले आफ्नो मुख खोल्यो ।
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
7 विश्वासीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न र तिनीहरूलाई जित्न त्यो पशुलाई अनुमति दिइएको थियो । अनि हरेक जाति, मानिस, भाषा, र राष्ट्रमाथि पनि अधिकार दिइएको थियो ।
And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and authority was given to him over every tribe, and tongue, and nation.
8 पृथ्वीमा बस्ने सबै मानिसले त्यो पशुको पुजा गर्नेछन्, जसको नाउँ संसारको सृष्टिदेखि नै मारिनुभएका थुमाको जीवनको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् ।
And all the inhabitants who 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 कसैको कान छ भने, त्यसले सुनोस् ।
He that hath an ear, let him hear.
10 कसैलाई कैदमा लैजानुछ भने, त्यो कैदमा जानेछ । यदि कोही तरवारसँगै मारिनुछ भने, त्यो तरवारले नै मारिनेछ । धैर्य, सहनशिलता, र विश्वासका निम्ति जो पवित्र छन् यसैका निम्ति यहाँ बोलावट छ ।
If any person leads others into captivity, he shall be led into captivity; if any person kills with the sword, he must be slain by the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 तब मैले पृथ्वीबाट आइरहेको अर्को पशु देखेँ । त्यसका थुमाका जस्ता दुईवटा सिङ थिए, र त्यसले अजिङ्गरले जस्तै गरी बोल्यो ।
And I saw another beast rising up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, though he spake as the dragon.
12 त्यसले पहिले पशुको उपस्थितिमा सबै शक्तिको अभ्यास गर्यो, अनि पृथ्वी र त्यहाँ बस्ने मानिसहरूलाई त्यसले पहिले पशुलाई पुजा गर्न लगाउँथ्यो, जसको घातक घाउ निको भएको थियो ।
And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth, and those who inhabit therein, to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.
13 त्यसले शक्तिशाली आश्चर्यकर्म पनि देखायो । त्यसले मानिसहरूका अगाडि स्वर्गबाट पृथ्वीमा आगो झार्ने कामसमेत गर्यो ।
And he performeth great signs, so that he even causeth fire to come down from heaven to the earth, in the sight of men,
14 शक्तिशाली चिह्नहरूद्वारा यसलाई त्यसो गर्ने अनुमति दिइयो । दोस्रो पशुले पृथ्वीमा भएका मानिसहरूलाई छल गर्यो । त्यसले पहिलो पशुलाई आदर गर्नका निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई त्यसको एउटा मूर्ति बनाउन लगायो । त्यस पशुलाई तरवारको चोट लागेको थियो, तरै पनि त्यो जीवित भयो ।
and deceiveth the inhabitants of the earth by the signs, which he is enabled to perform before the beast, saying to the dwellers upon the earth, that they should make an image for the beast who had the stroke of the sword, and survived.
15 त्यसलाई त्यो पशुको मूर्तिलाई जीवित पार्ने अनुमति दिइयो, जसले गर्दा त्यो मूर्तिले बोल्न सकोस् र त्यस पशुको मूर्तिलाई पुजा गर्न इन्कार गर्नेहरू मारिन सकून् ।
And he is enabled to impart life to the image of the beast that even the image of the beast should speak, and cause as many as will not worship the image of the beast to be put to death.
16 अनि त्यसले शक्तिशाली र महत्त्वहीन, धनी र गरिब, स्वतन्त्र र कमारा हरेकलाई दाहिने हात वा निधारमा चिह्न लगाउन दबाब दियो ।
And he causeth all the small and the great, the rich and the poor, the freemen and the slaves, to receive a brand upon their right hand, and upon their foreheads:
17 त्यो पशुको चिह्न नभएकाहरूका निम्ति किन्न वा बेच्न असम्भव हुन्थ्यो । त्यो पशुको चिह्नले त्यसको नाउँको सङ्ख्यालाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्दछ ।
and that no man may buy or sell, but he that hath the mark impressed, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 यसले बुद्धिको आव्हान गर्छ । कसैसँग अन्तर्दृष्टि छ भने, त्यसले पशुको सङ्ख्या हिसाब गरोस् । किनकि त्यो सङ्ख्या मानव-जातिको निम्ति हो । यो सङ्ख्या ६६६ हो ।
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding calculate the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred sixty-six.
