海中的獸和地上的獸

13 我又看見一隻獸從海裡上來,有十角七頭,十角上戴著十個皇冠,七頭上有褻瀆的名號。 我所看見的獸,樣子好像豹,腳像熊的腳,口像獅子的口。龍把自己的能力、王位和大權柄,都交給了牠。 獸的七頭中有一個似乎受了致命傷,但那致命傷卻醫好了。全地的人都很驚奇,跟從那獸。 因為龍把權柄交給了獸,大家就拜龍,也拜獸,說:“有誰可以跟這獸相比?有誰能與牠作戰呢?”

龍又給了那獸一張說誇大和褻瀆話的嘴巴,也給了牠權柄可以任意而行四十二個月。 獸就開口向 神說褻瀆的話,褻瀆他的名和他的帳幕,以及那些住在天上的。 牠得了允許能跟聖徒作戰,並且能勝過他們;又有權柄給了牠,可以管轄各支派、各民族、各方言、各邦國。 所有住在地上的人,名字沒有記在創世以來被殺的羊羔之生命冊上的,都要拜牠。

凡有耳的,就應當聽!

10 如果人應該被俘擄,

就必被俘擄;

如果人應該被刀殺,

就必被刀殺。

在這裡聖徒要有忍耐和信心!

11 我又看見另一隻獸從地裡上來。牠有兩個角,好像羊羔,說話好像龍。 12 牠在頭一隻獸面前,行使頭一隻獸的一切權柄。牠使全地和住在地上的人,都拜那受過致命傷而醫好了的頭一隻獸。 13 牠又行大奇事,甚至在人面前叫火從天上降在地上。 14 牠得了能力,在頭一隻獸面前能行奇事,迷惑了住在地上的人,吩咐住在地上的人,要為那受過刀傷而還活著的獸做個像。 15 又有能力賜給牠,可以把氣息給獸像,使獸像能夠說話,並且能夠殺害那些不拜獸像的人。 16 那從地裡上來的獸,又要所有的人,無論大小貧富,自由的和作奴隸的,都在右手或額上,給自己作個記號。 17 這記號就是獸的名字或獸名的數字,除了那有記號的,誰也不能買,誰也不能賣。 18 在這裡要有智慧。有悟性的人,就讓他計算獸的數字,因為這是人的數字,它的數字是六百六十六。

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

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.

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.

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.
