Revelation 13
New International Version
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.

Pahayag 13
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
13 At siya'y tumayo sa buhanginan ng dagat. At nakita ko ang isang hayop na umaahon sa dagat, na may sangpung sungay at pitong ulo, at sa kanilang mga sungay ay may sangpung diadema, at sa kaniyang mga ulo ay mga pangalan ng kapusungan.
2 At ang hayop na aking nakita ay katulad ng isang leopardo, at ang kaniyang mga paa ay gaya ng sa oso, at ang kaniyang bibig ay gaya ng bibig ng leon: at ibinigay sa kaniya ng dragon ang kaniyang kapangyarihan, at ang kaniyang luklukan, at dakilang kapamahalaan.
3 At nakita ko ang isa sa kaniyang mga ulo na waring sinugatan ng ikamamatay; at ang kaniyang sugat na ikamamatay ay gumaling: at ang buong lupa'y nanggilalas sa hayop;
4 At sila'y nangagsisamba sa dragon, sapagka't ibinigay niya ang kaniyang kapamahalaan sa hayop; at nangagsisamba sa hayop, na nangagsasabi, Sino ang kagaya ng hayop? at sinong makababaka sa kaniya?
5 At binigyan siya ng isang bibig na nagsasalita ng malalaking bagay at mga kapusungan: at binigyan siya ng kapamahalaan, upang magpatuloy na apat na pu't dalawang buwan.
6 At binuka niya ang kaniyang bibig sa mga kapusungan laban sa Dios, upang pusungin ang kaniyang pangalan, at ang kaniyang tabernakulo, gayon din naman ang mga nananahan sa langit.
7 At ipinagkaloob sa kaniya na makipagbaka sa mga banal, at pagtagumpayan sila; at binigyan siya ng kapamahalaan sa bawa't angkan at bayan at wika at bansa.
8 At ang lahat ng nangananahan sa lupa ay magsisisamba sa kaniya, na ang kanikaniyang pangalan ay hindi nasusulat sa aklat ng buhay ng Cordero na pinatay buhat nang itatag ang sanglibutan.
9 Kung ang sinoman ay may pakinig, ay makinig.
10 Kung ang sinoman ay sa pagkabihag, ay sa pagkabihag paroroon siya: kung ang sinoman ay papatay sa tabak, ay dapat siyang mamatay sa tabak. Narito ang pagtitiyaga at ang pananampalataya ng mga banal.
11 At nakita ko ang ibang hayop na umaahon sa lupa; at may dalawang sungay na katulad ng sa isang kordero, at siya'y nagsasalitang gaya ng dragon.
12 At kaniyang isinasagawa ang buong kapamahalaan ng unang hayop sa kaniyang paningin. At pinasasamba niya ang lupa at ang nangananahan dito sa unang hayop, na gumaling ang sugat na ikamamatay.
13 At siya'y gumagawa ng mga dakilang tanda, na ano pa't nakapagpapababa ng kahit apoy mula sa langit hanggang sa lupa sa paningin ng mga tao.
14 At nadadaya niya ang mga nananahan sa lupa dahil sa mga tanda na sa kaniya'y ipinagkaloob na magawa sa paningin ng hayop; na sinasabi sa mga nananahan sa lupa, na dapat silang gumawa ng isang larawan ng hayop na mayroon ng sugat ng tabak at nabuhay.
15 At siya'y pinagkaloobang makapagbigay ng hininga sa larawan ng hayop, upang ang larawan ng hayop ay makapangusap, at maipapatay naman ang lahat ng hindi sumasamba sa larawan ng hayop.
16 At ang lahat, maliliit at malalaki, at mayayaman at mga dukha, at ang mga laya at ang mga alipin ay pinabigyan ng isang tanda sa kanilang kanang kamay, o sa noo;
17 At nang huwag makabili o makapagbili ang sinoman, kundi siyang mayroong tanda, sa makatuwid ay ng pangalan ng hayop o bilang ng kaniyang pangalan.
18 Dito'y may karunungan. Ang may pagkaunawa ay bilangin ang bilang ng hayop; sapagka't siyang bilang ng isang tao: at ang kaniyang bilang ay Anim na raan at anim na pu't anim.
Revelation 13
English Standard Version
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]
