啟示錄 13
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
兩隻怪獸
13 我又看見一隻怪獸從海中上來，有七頭十角，每隻角上都戴著一個冠冕，每個頭上都寫著褻瀆上帝的名號。 2 牠看起來像豹，卻有熊的腳和獅子的口。巨龍將自己的能力、王位和大權柄都交給了怪獸。 3 我看見怪獸的一個頭似乎受了致命傷，這傷卻復原了。全世界的人都驚奇地跟從了牠。 4 他們拜巨龍，因為巨龍將自己的權力給了怪獸。他們又拜怪獸，說：「有誰比得上這獸呢？誰能與牠對抗呢？」 5 巨龍又使怪獸說狂妄、褻瀆的話，並給牠權柄，可以任意妄為四十二個月。 6 怪獸開口褻瀆上帝的名、上帝的居所和一切居住在天上的。 7 牠又獲准去攻打聖徒，征服他們，並得到權柄制伏各民族、各部落、各語言族群、各國家。 8 凡住在地上的人，就是從創世以來名字沒有記在被殺羔羊的生命冊上的，都會崇拜怪獸。
9 凡有耳朵的都應當聽。
10 該被擄的人必被擄，
該被刀殺的必被刀殺。
因此，聖徒需要堅忍和信心。
11 我又看見另一隻怪獸從地裡竄出來，牠的兩隻角像羔羊的角，說話卻像龍， 12 在頭一隻怪獸面前行使頭一隻怪獸的一切權柄。牠命令世上的人拜曾受了致命傷但已復原的頭一隻怪獸， 13 又行大奇蹟，當眾叫火從天降到地上。 14 牠在頭一隻怪獸面前獲准行奇蹟，欺騙了普世的人，並吩咐他們為受了刀傷卻仍然活著的頭一隻怪獸塑像。 15 牠又獲准給怪獸的塑像生命氣息，使牠不但能說話，還能使所有不敬拜那像的人遭害。 16 牠又強迫所有的人，不論老少、尊卑、貧富、自由人或奴隸，都在右手或額上接受印記。 17 凡沒有蓋上怪獸印記的，就是沒有怪獸的名字或代號的，都不能做買賣。 18 這裡藏有玄機，聰明的人可以計算那怪獸的代號，因為那是一個人的代號，是「六百六十六」。
Revelation 13
Jubilee Bible 2000
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 its horns ten crowns, and upon its heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and its feet were as the feet of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority.
3 And I saw one of its heads as it were wounded to death; and its deadly wound was healed; and all the earth marveled, and followed the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which had given the authority unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast; saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with it?
5 And there was given unto it a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto it to continue forty and two months.
6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto it to make war with the saints and to overcome them; and power was given it over all kindreds and tongues and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship it, whose names are not written in the book of the life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 ¶ Then I beheld another beast coming up out of the land; and he had two horns like the Lamb, but he spoke as the dragon.
12 And he exercised all the power of the first beast in its presence and caused the earth and those that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he does great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven to the earth in the sight of men
14 and deceives those that dwell on the earth by those signs which were given unto him to do in the presence of the beast, commanding those that dwell on the earth to make an image of the beast, which has the wound by the sword, and did live.
15 And it was given unto him to endue the image of the beast with spirit, so that the image of the beast should speak, and he shall cause those that do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16 And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slaves, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads;
17 and that no one might buy or sell, unless he has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for the number of man; and its number is six hundred sixty-six.
