Tshenolo 13
1 Mme aanong mo ponatshegelong ya me, ka bona sebatana se se sa tlwaelesegang se tlhatloga mo lewatleng. Se ne se na le ditlhogo di supa le dinaka di le some, gape se na le dirwalo di le some mo dinakeng tsa sone. Mme mo tlhogong nngwe le nngwe go kwadilwe maina a tlhapatso, a kgoba ebile a nyenyefatsa Modimo.
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 Sebatana se, se ne se tshwana le lengau mme se na le maroo a a tshwanang le a bera le molomo o tshwana le lengau mme se na le moroo a a tshwanang le a bera le molomo o tshwana le wa tau! Mme kgogela ya se naya nonofo ya yone le setilo sa bogosi le taolo e kgolo.
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 Mme ka bona tlhogo nngwe ya sone ekete e bolaisegile mo e neng ekete ga e kake ya tlhola e fola, mme ntho e e maswe thata eo ya fola! Mme batho ba lefatshe ba gakgamalela kgakgamatso e mme ba sala sebatana se morago ka therego.
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 Ba obamela kgogela ka go se naya nonofo e e kalo, mme ba obamela sebatana se se sa tlwaelesegang. Ba goa ba re, “Ke kae kwa go nang le mongwe yo mogolo jaaka sone? Ke mang yo o ka kgonang go se tlhabantsha?”
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 Mme kgogela ya tlhotlheletsa sebatana go tlhapatsa Morena; mme ya se naya taolo go laola lefatshe selekanyo sa dikgwedi di le masome a mane le bobedi.
A mouth was given to him speaking proud words and blasphemies. There was given to him authority to act for forty-two months.
6 Ka nako eo yotlhe sa tlhapatsa leina la tempele ya gagwe le botlhe ba ba nnang kwa legodimong.
He opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.
7 Mme kgogela ya se naya nonofo go tlhabantsha batho ba Modimo le go ba fenya, le go busa dichaba tsotlhe le dipuo mo lefatsheng lothe.
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 Le batho botlhe ba maina a bone a neng a sa kwalwa pele ga tshimologo ya lefatshe mo lokwalong lwa Botshelo lwa Kwana e e tlhabilweng, ba obamela sebatana se se bosula.
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 A mongwe yo o nang le ditsebe, a reetse ka kelotlhoko.
If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 Batho ba Modimo ba ba laoletsweng kgolegelo ba tlaa tshwarwa mme ba tsewe; ba ba laoletsweng loso ba tlaa bolawa. Mme lo se ka lwa kgobega marapo, gonne lo ke lobaka lwa go itshoka le go ikanyega.
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 Mme ka bona sebatana se sengwe se se sa tlwaelesegang se sone se neng se tswa mo lefatsheng, se na le dinaka tse di potlana di le pedi jaaka tsa Kwana mme se na le lentswe le le boifisang jaaka la kgogela.
I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a serpent.
12 Se ne sa dirisa nonofo yotlhe ya sebatana se ntho ya sone e e maswe e fodileng, se se neng sa batla gore batho ba lefatshe botlhe ba se obamele.
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 Mme sa dira dikgakgamatso tse motho ope a neng a se ka ke a di dumela jaaka go folosetsa molelo mo lefatsheng o tswa kwa legodimong, mongwe le mongwe a lebile.
He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of people.
14 Ka go dira dikgakgamatso tse, sa tsietsa batho gongwe le gongwe, se ne se dira dikgakgamatso tse fela fa sebatana sa ntlha se le teng go se lebelela. Mme sa laela batho ba lefatshe go dira setshwantsho sa leje se segolo sa sebatana sa ntlha, se se neng se bolaisegile thata, mme sa tloga sa rula.
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 Se ne sa letlelelwa go naya setshwano se sa leje mowa le go dira gore se bue! Hong setshwantsho se sa leje sa laela gore mongwe le mongwe yo o ganang go se obamela o tshwanetse go swa!
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 Mme sa pateletsa mongwe le mongwe, bagolo le bannye, bahumi le bahumanegi, magolegwa le ba ba golotsweng, go tshwaiwa ka lotshwao longwe mo letsogong le legolo kgotsa mo phatleng.
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 Mme ga bo go se ope yo o ka bonang tiro kgotsa le fa e le go reka mo marekelong kwa ntle ga gore a bo a na le lotshwao loo, lo e neng e le leina la sebatana kgotsa palo ya leina la sone.
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 Jaanong malepa ke a, a a tlhokang kelotlhoko go rarabololwa. A ba ba kgonang, ba ranole palo e: dipalo tse mo leineng la gagwe di dira makgolo a marataro le masome a marataro le borataro!
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.
