요한계시록 13
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
두 짐승
13 나는 어떤 짐승 하나가 바다에서 나오는 것을 보았습니다. 그 짐승은 열 개의 뿔과 일곱 개의 머리를 가지고 있었는데, 그 뿔 하나하나에 왕관을 쓰고 있었고, 그 머리 하나하나에는 하나님을 모독하는 이름이 쓰여 있었습니다. 2 내가 본 짐승은 표범을 닮았으나, 그 발은 곰의 발과 같고, 그 입은 사자의 입과 같았습니다. 용이 자기가 가진 능력과 왕위와 큰 권세를 이 짐승에게 주었습니다. 3 짐승의 머리 가운데 하나는 치명적인 상처를 입은 적이 있었던 것 같았습니다. 그러나 그 상처는 다 나아 있었습니다. 온 세상 사람이 감탄을 하며 그 짐승을 따랐습니다. 4 사람들은 용이 그 짐승에게 권세를 주었기 때문에 용을 섬겼습니다. 그리고 그 짐승도 섬기며, “누가 이 짐승과 같은 힘을 가졌는가? 누가 그와 맞서 싸울 수 있겠는가?” 라고 말하였습니다.
5 그 짐승은 뽐내는 말과 하나님을 모독하는 말을 해도 된다는 허락을 받았습니다. 그리고 마흔두 달 동안 자기가 가진 힘을 마음대로 쓸 수 있는 권세를 받았습니다. 6 짐승은 입을 벌려 하나님을 모독하였습니다. 짐승은 하나님의 이름과 하나님께서 계시는 곳과 하늘에 사는 이들을 모독하였습니다. 7 짐승은 성도들과 싸워 그들을 정복해도 된다는 허락을 받았습니다. 그리고 모든 종족과 백성과 언어와 민족을 다스리는 권세를 받았습니다. 8 그러므로 땅 위에 사는 사람 가운데서, 죽임을 당한 어린양의 생명책에 천지창조 때부터 이름이 올라 있지 않은 사람은 모두 그 짐승을 섬길 것입니다.
9 귀 있는 사람은 이 말에 귀를 기울이십시오.
10 사로잡혀 가기로 되어 있는 사람이면
사로잡혀 갈 것이고
칼에 맞아 죽임을 당하기로 되어 있는 사람이면
칼에 맞아 죽임을 당할 것이다.
이 말은 성도들이 인내와 믿음을 가져야 한다는 뜻입니다.
11 그때에 나는 또 다른 짐승 하나가 땅에서 올라오는 것을 보았습니다. 그것은 양처럼 두 개의 뿔을 가졌으나, 말은 용처럼 하였습니다. 12 그 짐승은 첫째 짐승이 가졌던 모든 권세를 첫째 짐승을 대신하여 행사하였습니다. 그리고 땅 위에 사는 모든 사람으로 하여금 치명적인 상처에서 나음을 받은 첫째 짐승을 섬기게 하였습니다. 13 그리고 그 짐승은 큰 기적들을 보여 주었습니다. 심지어 사람들이 환히 보는 가운데 하늘에서 불이 내려오게 하는 기적까지 보여 주었습니다. 14 그 짐승은 땅 위에 사는 사람들을 속였습니다. 그는 첫째 짐승을 대신하여 행사할 수 있는 능력을 받았는데, 그 능력으로 기적을 보여 줌으로써 사람들을 속였습니다. 그 짐승은 사람들에게, 칼에 맞아 상처를 입고서도 살아난 첫째 짐승의 상을 만들게 하였습니다. 15 그 짐승은 첫째 짐승의 상에게 생명을 불어넣을 수 있는 능력을 받았습니다. 그러자 그 상은 말도 할 수 있게 되었고, 자기의 상을 섬기기를 거부하는 사람을 모두 죽이게도 할 수 있었습니다. 16 둘째 짐승은 작은 자나 큰 자나, 부자나 가난한 자나, 자유인이나 종이나 가릴 것 없이 모두 오른손이나 이마에 표를 받게 하였습니다. 17 그리하여 이 표를 받지 않은 사람은 누구도 사고 팔 수 없게 하였습니다. 이 표는 그 짐승의 이름이거나 그 이름이 나타내는 숫자입니다. 18 여기에 지혜가 필요합니다. 통찰력이 있는 사람은 그 짐승의 숫자를 풀이해 보십시오. 그 수는 어떤 사람의 숫자입니다. 그 사람의 수는 육백육십육입니다.
Revelation 13
New King James Version
The Beast from the Sea
13 Then [a]I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw (A)a beast rising up out of the sea, (B)having [b]seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a (C)blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The (D)dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads (E)as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And (F)all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, (G)“Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
5 And he was given (H)a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to [c]continue for (I)forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, (J)His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him (K)to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And (L)authority was given him over every [d]tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, (M)whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain (N)from the foundation of the world.
9 (O)If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 (P)He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; (Q)he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. (R)Here is the [e]patience and the faith of the saints.
The Beast from the Earth
11 Then I saw another beast (S)coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, (T)whose deadly wound was healed. 13 (U)He performs great signs, (V)so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 (W)And he deceives [f]those who dwell on the earth (X)by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword (Y)and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak (Z)and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, (AA)to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has [g]the mark or (AB)the name of the beast, (AC)or the number of his name.
18 (AD)Here is wisdom. Let him who has (AE)understanding calculate (AF)the number of the beast, (AG)for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

The Beast out of the Sea
13 The dragon[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea.(A) It had ten horns and seven heads,(B) with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.(C) 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard,(D) but had feet like those of a bear(E) and a mouth like that of a lion.(F) The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.(G) 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed.(H) The whole world was filled with wonder(I) and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like(J) the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies(K) and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.(L) 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.(M) 7 It was given power to wage war(N) against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.(O) 8 All inhabitants of the earth(P) will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life,(Q) the Lamb(R) who was slain from the creation of the world.[b](S)
9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.(T)
10 “If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[c] with the sword,
with the sword they will be killed.”[d](U)
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness(V) on the part of God’s people.(W)
The Beast out of the Earth
11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth.(X) It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.(Y) 12 It exercised all the authority(Z) of the first beast on its behalf,(AA) and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast,(AB) whose fatal wound had been healed.(AC) 13 And it performed great signs,(AD) even causing fire to come down from heaven(AE) to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs(AF) it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived(AG) the inhabitants of the earth.(AH) It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.(AI) 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship(AJ) the image to be killed.(AK) 16 It also forced all people, great and small,(AL) rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,(AM) 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark,(AN) which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.(AO)
18 This calls for wisdom.(AP) Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[e](AQ) That number is 666.

The First Beast
13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, (A)with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and (B)blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was (C)like a leopard; its feet were like (D)a bear's, and its mouth was like (E)a lion's mouth. And to it (F)the dragon gave his power and (G)his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and (H)the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, (I)“Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
5 And the beast was given (J)a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for (K)forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[a] that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed (L)to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[b] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all (M)who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in (N)the book of life of (O)the Lamb (P)who was slain. 9 (Q)If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10 (R)If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
(S)if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.
(T)Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
The Second Beast
11 Then (U)I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,[c] and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, (V)whose mortal wound was healed. 13 (W)It performs great signs, even (X)making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of[d] the beast (Y)it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast (Z)that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not (AA)worship the image of the beast (AB)to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[e] (AC)to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, (AD)the name of the beast or (AE)the number of its name. 18 (AF)This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number (AG)of a man, and his number is 666.[f]
