Zvakazarurwa 13
1 Zvino ndakamira pamusoro pejecha regungwa, ndokuona chikara chichibuda mugungwa, chine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi, nepamusoro penyanga dzacho korona gumi, nepamusoro pemisoro yacho zita rekunyomba.
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 Zvino chikara ichi chandakaona chakange chakaita sengwe, netsoka dzacho sedzebheya, nemuromo wacho semuromo weshumba. Zibukanana rikapa kwachiri simba raro, nechigaro charo cheushe, nemasimba makuru.
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 Zvino ndakaona umwe wemisoro yacho wakaita sewakaurawa kusvika parufu; asi vanga racho rekufa rakange rapodzwa; nyika yese ikashamisika shure kwechikara.
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 Vakanamata zibukanana rakapa simba kuchikara, vakanamata chikara, vachiti: Ndiani wakafanana nechikara? Ndiani anogona kuita hondo nacho?
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 Zvino kukapiwa kwachiri muromo unotaura zvinhu zvikuru nekunyomba; kukapiwawo kwachiri simba rekubata mwedzi makumi mana nemiviri.
A mouth was given to him speaking proud words and blasphemies. There was given to him authority to act for forty-two months.
6 Ndokushamisa muromo wacho kuti chinyombe Mwari, nekunyomba zita rake, netabhenakeri yake, neavo vanogara kudenga.
He opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.
7 Zvino kwakapiwa kwachiri kuita hondo nevatsvene, nekuvakunda; kukapiwawo kwachiri masimba pamusoro perudzi rwese nerurimi nerudzi.
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 Uye vese vanogara panyika vachachinamata, vane mazita asina kunyorwa mubhuku reupenyu reGwayana rakabaiwa kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika.
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 Kana umwe ane nzeve, ngaanzwe.
If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 Kana umwe achiunganidza muutapwa, anoenda muutapwa; kana umwe achiuraya nemunondo, zvakamufanira kuurawa nemunondo. Ndipo pane kutsungirira nerutendo rwevatsvene.
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 Zvino ndakaona chimwe chikara chichikwira kubva panyika; uye chakange chine nyanga mbiri segwayana, ndokutaura sezibukanana.
I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a serpent.
12 Uye chakashandisa simba rese rechikara chekutanga pamberi pacho uye chinoita kuti nyika nevagere mukati mayo kuti vanamate chikara chekutanga, chiya chine vanga rinouraya rakaporeswa.
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 Chinoitawo zviratidzo zvikuru, kuti nemoto chinoita kuti uburuke kubva kudenga kuuya panyika pamberi pevanhu.
He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of people.
14 Zvino chinonyengera avo vanogara panyika nezviratidzo zvakapiwa kwachiri kuti chiite pamberi pechikara, chichiti kune vanogara panyika, ngavaitire mufananidzo chikara chakange chine vanga remunondo, chikararama.
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 Zvino kwakapiwa kwachiri kupa mweya kumufananidzo wechikara, kutiwo mufananidzo wechikara utaure, chigoita kuti vese vasinganamati mufananidzo wechikara vaurawe.
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 Chinoitawo vese, vadiki nevakuru, uye vafumi nevarombo, uye vakasununguka nevaranda, kuti vapiwe mucherechedzo muruoko rwavo rwerudyi, kana pahuma dzavo,
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 uye kuti kusava neumwe anogona kutenga kana kutengesa, kunze kwaiye ane mucherechedzo, kana zita rechikara kana nhamba yezita racho.
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 Hehuno uchenjeri. Ane kunzwisisa ngaaverenge nhamba yechikara; nokuti inhamba yemunhu; uye nhamba yacho ndimazana matanhatu nemakumi matanhatu nenhanhatu.
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.
