Отк 13
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия с «Аллахом»
13 И вот дракон встал на берегу моря.
Зверь из моря
Тут я увидел, как из моря поднимается зверь, у которого десять рогов и семь голов. На рогах его – десять венцов, а на головах написаны имена, оскорбляющие Аллаха. 2 Зверь, которого я видел, был похож на барса, но у него были медвежьи лапы и львиная пасть.[a] Дракон дал зверю свою силу, свой трон и свою власть. 3 Одна из голов зверя, казалось, получила смертельную рану, но эта рана зажила. И все жители земли в изумлении пошли за зверем. 4 Они поклонились дракону за то, что тот дал зверю такую власть. Они поклонились зверю и говорили:
– Разве ещё есть кто-то подобный этому зверю? И кто может с ним сразиться?!
5 Зверю было дано говорить надменные и оскорбляющие Аллаха слова, и ему было позволено властвовать сорок два месяца.[b] 6 Он раскрыл свою пасть, чтобы клеветать на Аллаха, на Его имя, на Его жилище и на всех жителей неба. 7 Ему была дана также власть вести войну со святым народом Аллаха и победить их.[c] Он получил власть над каждым родом, каждым языком, каждым народом и каждым племенем. 8 И поклонятся ему все жители земли, кроме тех, чьи имена записаны ещё от создания мира в книге жизни у Ягнёнка, Который был принесён в жертву.[d]
9 Если у кого есть уши, пусть слышит!
10 Кому Аллахом суждено идти в плен,
тот пойдёт в плен,
и кому суждено быть убитым мечом,
тот будет убит мечом.[e]
От святого народа Аллаха требуется терпение и вера.
Зверь из земли
11 Потом я увидел другого зверя. Он выходил из земли, и у него было два рога, как у ягнёнка, но говорил он, как дракон. 12 Он наделён всей властью первого зверя и действует от его имени. Он заставляет всех жителей земли поклониться первому зверю, у которого зажила смертельная рана. 13 Он совершает великие чудеса, и даже сводит огонь с небес на глазах у людей. 14 Этими чудесами, которые ему было дано совершить от имени зверя, он обманывает жителей земли. Он сказал им, чтобы они воздвигли изображение зверя, который был смертельно ранен мечом, но выжил. 15 Этому второму зверю было дано вдохнуть жизнь в изображение зверя, чтобы оно смогло говорить и действовать так, чтобы был казнён всякий, кто не поклонится изображению зверя. 16 Ещё он устраивает так, чтобы все люди, малые и великие, богатые и бедные, свободные и рабы, получили клеймо на свою правую руку или на лоб. 17 Все, кто не имеет такого клейма, не могут больше ничего ни купить, ни продать. Клеймо – это имя зверя или число, обозначающее его имя.
18 Здесь требуется мудрость! Тот, кто наделён разумом, пусть высчитает число зверя, потому что это число человека. И число его – шестьсот шестьдесят шесть.
Revelation 13
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 13
1 Then I saw a beast rising out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names. 2 The beast that I saw resembled a leopard, but it had feet like those of a bear, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The dragon conferred on the beast his own power and his throne, as well as great authority.
3 One of his heads appeared to me to have been mortally wounded, but its mortal wound had been healed. The whole world then became fascinated with the beast, 4 and they worshiped the dragon because he had conferred authority on the beast. They also worshiped the beast, saying, “Who can compare with the beast? Who can fight against it?”
5 It was allowed to mouth its haughty and blasphemous words, and it was granted permission to exercise its authority for forty-two months.[a] 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, as well as against his name and his dwelling and all those who live in heaven.
7 The beast was also allowed to wage war on the saints and conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. 8 All the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, all those whose names have not been written from the creation of the world[b] in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.
9 Whoever has ears should listen to these words:
10 “If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity he will go.
If anyone is destined to be slain by the sword,
by the sword he must be slain.”
This demands patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.
11 A Beast Rises from the Earth.[c] Then I saw another beast, this one rising up out of the earth. It had two horns like those of a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It wielded all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and it forced the earth and all its inhabitants to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed. 13 It performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of all.
14 By the signs it was allowed to perform on behalf of the beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth, persuading them to erect an image for the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 It was permitted to give life to the beast’s image so that it could even speak and cause all those to be put to death who would not worship the image of the beast.
16 It also forced all the people, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be branded on the right hand or on the forehead. 17 No one could buy or sell anything except one who has been branded with the name of the beast or with the number of its name.
18 There is wisdom here. Let anyone who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. The number is six hundred and sixty-six.
Footnotes
- Revelation 13:5 Forty-two months: see note on Rev 11:2-3, 11.
- Revelation 13:8 Written from the creation of the world: some place these words at the very end of the sentence (after the word “slain”). Book of life belonging to the Lamb: see note on Rev 3:5.
- Revelation 13:11 The beast comes probably from Asia, because it was the East that gave rise to so many religious currents of thought that promoted emperor worship. The time has come when pressures are brought to bear and people are seduced. This picture fits in very well with the reign of Domitian, who banished Christians from the empire for refusing to practice emperor worship, the new sign of civic submission. The majority of believers resist, despite pressures and seductions of every kind.
The number of the beast has always been a snare for those who seek, by way of abstruse calculations, to identify the Antichrist with some figure of their own time. The number probably conceals the name of some personage known to readers of that time; the letters of the Greek alphabet and those of the Hebrew alphabet also stood for numbers, as is still the case with the Roman alphabet to some extent. Using gematria, a procedure for interpreting numbers, it was certainly possible to discern in the number 666 the words “Emperor Nero” in Hebrew. If we read “616” instead of “666,” as some manuscripts do, it could be “Emperor Nero” in Greek.
Revelation 13
King James Version
13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
