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) 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) 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. 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?”

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies(K) and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.(L) It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.(M) 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) 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)

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.

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. 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. 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. 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.

그 짐승은 뽐내는 말과 하나님을 모독하는 말을 해도 된다는 허락을 받았습니다. 그리고 마흔두 달 동안 자기가 가진 힘을 마음대로 쓸 수 있는 권세를 받았습니다. 짐승은 입을 벌려 하나님을 모독하였습니다. 짐승은 하나님의 이름과 하나님께서 계시는 곳과 하늘에 사는 이들을 모독하였습니다. 짐승은 성도들과 싸워 그들을 정복해도 된다는 허락을 받았습니다. 그리고 모든 종족과 백성과 언어와 민족을 다스리는 권세를 받았습니다. 그러므로 땅 위에 사는 사람 가운데서, 죽임을 당한 어린양의 생명책에 천지창조 때부터 이름이 올라 있지 않은 사람은 모두 그 짐승을 섬길 것입니다.

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.

The First Beast from the Sea

13 And I saw coming up out of the sea a beast that had ten horns and seven heads, and on its horns ten royal headbands,[a] and on its heads a blasphemous name.[b] And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, and its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority. And one of its heads appeared as though slaughtered to death, and its fatal wound[c] had been healed. And the whole earth was astonished and followed after the beast. And they worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to make war with him?

And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies, and authority to act was given to him for forty-two months. And he opened his mouth for blasphemies toward God, to blaspheme his name and his dwelling, those who live in heaven. And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation. And all those who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name is not written[d] from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered. If anyone has an ear, let him hear!

10 If anyone is going into captivity, into captivity he goes.
If anyone is to be killed by the sword, by the sword he is to be killed.

Here is the patient endurance and the faith of the saints.

The Second Beast from the Earth

11 And I saw another beast coming up from the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he was speaking like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast on behalf of him, and he causes the earth and those who live in it to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed[e]. 13 And he performs great signs, so that he even causes fire from heaven to come down to the earth before people. 14 And he deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs that it has been granted to him to perform on behalf of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was given to him to put breath into the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast both spoke and caused that all those, unless they worshiped the image of the beast, should be killed. 16 And he causes all people, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, that they give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and that no one was able to buy or to sell except the one who had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom: the one who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number,[f] and his number is six hundred sixty-six.[g]

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.
