< Mulʼata 13 >
1 Bineensi jawwee fakkaatu sunis cirracha galaanaa irra dhaabate. Bineensa tokkos utuu inni galaana keessaa baʼuu nan arge. Innis gaanfa kudhanii fi mataa torba qaba ture; gaanfawwan isaa irratti gonfoo kudhan, tokkoo tokkoo mataa isaa irratti immoo maqaa arrabsoo qaba ture.
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 Bineensi ani arge sunis qeerransa fakkaata ture. Miilli isaa miilla amaaketaa, afaan isaa immoo afaan leencaa fakkaata ture. Bineensi jawwee fakkaatu sunis humna isaa, teessoo isaatii fi taayitaa guddaas bineensichaaf kenne.
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 Mataa bineensichaa torban keessaa inni tokko waan madaa duʼa fidu qabu fakkaata ture; madaan duʼa fidu sun garuu fayyee ture. Addunyaan guutuunis dinqisiifatee bineensicha duukaa buʼe.
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 Namoonni sababii inni taayitaa isaa bineensa sanaaf kenneef bineensa jawwee fakkaatu sanaaf ni sagadan; akkasumas, “Kan akka bineensichaa eenyuu? Eenyutus lola isatti kaasuu dandaʼa?” jedhanii bineensichaaf sagadan.
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 Akka bineensichi dubbii of tuulummaatii fi arrabsoo dubbatuuf afaan ni kennameef; jiʼa afurtamii lamaaf akka ittiin hojjetuufis taayitaan isaaf kenname.
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 Innis Waaqa arrabsuuf, Waaqaa fi iddoo jireenya isaa, akkasumas warra samii keessa jiraatan maqaa balleessuuf jedhee afaan banate.
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 Akka inni qulqullootatti waraana kaasee isaan moʼatuufis humni ni kennameef. Gosa hunda, saba hunda, afaanii fi sanyii hunda irrattis taayitaan ni kennameef.
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 Warri lafa irra jiraatan hundinuu jechuunis warri maqaan isaanii erga addunyaan uumamee jalqabee kitaaba jireenyaa kan Hoolicha qalame sanaa keessatti hin galmeeffamin hundinuu bineensichaaf ni sagadu.
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 Namni gurra qabu kam iyyuu haa dhagaʼu.
Let all who have ears give heed.
10 “Namni boojiʼamuuf jiru kam iyyuu inni ni boojiʼama. Namni goraadeedhaan ajjeefamuuf jiru kam iyyuu goraadeedhaan ni ajjeefama.” Kunis obsaa fi amanamummaa qulqullootaa argisiisa.
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 Bineensa biraas utuu inni lafa keessaa baʼuu nan arge. Innis akka hoolaa gaanfa lama qaba ture; akka bineensa jawwee fakkaatuuttis dubbata ture.
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 Innis taayitaa bineensicha jalqabaa hundaan fuula isaa duratti hojjechaa ture; akka laftii fi warri lafa irra jiraatan bineensicha jalqabaa isa madaan duʼa fidu fayyeef sanaaf sagadanis godhe.
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 Innis hamma akka ibiddi samii irraa lafatti gad buʼu godhutti ija namaa duratti dinqii gurguddaa hojjete.
He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.
14 Mallattoo akka inni iddoo bineensichi jalqabaa jirutti hojjetuuf eeyyamameef sanaanis namoota lafa irra jiraatan ni gowwoomse. Akka isaan ulfina bineensicha goraadeedhaan madaaʼee ergasii immoo jiraate sanaatiif fakkii dhaaban ajaje.
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 Fakkiin bineensa jalqabaa sunis akka dubbachuu dandaʼuu fi warra fakkii sanaaf sagaduu didan hundas akka ajjeesisuuf bineensi inni lammaffaan akka fakkii sanaaf lubbuu kennuuf humni kennameef.
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 Akkasumas namni hundinuu xinnaa fi guddaan, sooressii fi hiyyeessi, birmaduu fi garbi harka mirgaa irratti yookaan adda irratti akka mallattoo qabaatu dirqisiise;
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 kunis akka namni mallattoo kana jechuunis maqaa bineensichaa yookaan lakkoobsa maqaa isaa hin qabaatin kam iyyuu bitachuu yookaan gurgurachuu hin dandeenyeef.
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 Ogummaan as jira. Lakkoobsichi waan lakkoobsa namaa taʼeef namni hubannaa qabu kam iyyuu lakkoobsa bineensichaa haa herregu. Lakkoobsi isaas 666.
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.
