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 he stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.
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 ।
The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The serpent gave him his power, 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 ।
One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth was amazed and followed 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 ।
They worshiped the serpent, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make 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 ।
A mouth was given to him speaking proud words and blasphemies. There was given to him authority to act for 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 ।
He opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, 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 ।
It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
8 पृथ्वीमा बस्ने सबै मानिसले त्यो पशुको पुजा गर्नेछन्, जसको नाउँ संसारको सृष्टिदेखि नै मारिनुभएका थुमाको जीवनको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् ।
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life of the Lamb who has been killed.
9 कसैको कान छ भने, त्यसले सुनोस् ।
If anyone has 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 anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is the endurance 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 ।
I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a serpent.
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 ।
He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
13 त्यसले शक्तिशाली आश्चर्यकर्म पनि देखायो । त्यसले मानिसहरूका अगाडि स्वर्गबाट पृथ्वीमा आगो झार्ने कामसमेत गर्यो ।
He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of people.
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 ।
He deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword and yet lived.
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 ।
It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast could both speak and cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16 अनि त्यसले शक्तिशाली र महत्त्वहीन, धनी र गरिब, स्वतन्त्र र कमारा हरेकलाई दाहिने हात वा निधारमा चिह्न लगाउन दबाब दियो ।
He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead;
17 त्यो पशुको चिह्न नभएकाहरूका निम्ति किन्न वा बेच्न असम्भव हुन्थ्यो । त्यो पशुको चिह्नले त्यसको नाउँको सङ्ख्यालाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्दछ ।
and that no one could be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, 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. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
