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]

13 And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea.(A) It had ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten crowns,[a](B) and on its heads were blasphemous names.[b](C) 2 The beast I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth.(D) The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 One of its heads appeared to be fatally wounded, but its fatal wound was healed.
The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast.(E) 4 They worshiped the dragon(F) because he gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast?(G) Who is able to wage war against it?”
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter boasts and blasphemies.(H) It was allowed to exercise authority[c][d] for forty-two months.(I) 6 It began to speak[e] blasphemies against God: to blaspheme his name and his dwelling—those who dwell in heaven. 7 And it was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them.(J) It was also given authority(K) over every tribe, people, language, and nation.(L) 8 All those who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book[f] of life(M) of the Lamb who was slaughtered.[g](N)
9 If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen.(O)
10 If anyone is to be taken captive,
into captivity he goes.
If anyone is to be killed[h] with a sword,
with a sword he will be killed.(P)
This calls for endurance[i] and faithfulness from the saints.(Q)
The Beast from the Earth
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb,[j](R) but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast on its behalf and compels the earth and those who live on it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 It also performs great signs,(S) even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in front of people.(T) 14 It deceives those who live on the earth(U) because of the signs that it is permitted to perform in the presence of the beast,(V) telling those who live on the earth to make an image[k] of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 It was permitted to give breath[l] to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could both speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.(W) 16 And it makes everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,(X) 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast’s name or the number of its name.
18 This calls for wisdom:[m](Y) Let the one who has understanding calculate[n] the number of the beast, because it is the number of a person. Its number is 666.[o]

Fiara din mare
13 Am văzut ridicându-se din mare o fiară care avea zece coarne şi şapte capete. Pe coarne avea zece diademe, iar pe capete avea nume blasfemiatoare. 2 Fiara pe care am văzut-o era asemenea unui leopard, dar picioarele îi erau ca ale ursului, iar gura – ca gura de leu. Balaurul i-a dat ei puterea lui, tronul lui şi o mare autoritate. 3 Unul dintre capetele ei era ca înjunghiat de moarte, dar rana ei de moarte a fost vindecată. Întregul pământ a fost uimit şi s-a dus după fiară. 4 Şi i s-au închinat balaurului, pentru că el îi dăduse autoritate fiarei. Ei s-au închinat şi fiarei, zicând: „Cine este ca fiara şi cine se poate război cu ea?!“
5 Fiarei i s-a dat o gură, ca să rostească vorbe mari şi blasfemii. I s-a dat să exercite autoritate pentru patruzeci şi două de luni. 6 Ea şi-a deschis gura blasfemiind împotriva lui Dumnezeu, blasfemiind Numele Său, cortul Său şi pe cei ce locuiesc în cer. 7 I s-a dat să poarte război cu sfinţii şi să-i învingă. Şi i s-a dat autoritate peste orice seminţie, popor, limbă şi neam. 8 Toţi locuitorii pământului i se vor închina, şi anume aceia ale căror nume nu au fost scrise de la întemeierea lumii în Cartea Vieţii Mielului, Care a fost înjunghiat.[a] 9 Cine are urechi, să audă!
10 Cine trebuie să meargă în captivitate,
în captivitate va merge!
Cine trebuie să fie omorât de sabie[b],
de sabie va fi omorât!
Aici este răbdarea şi credinţa sfinţilor!
Fiara din pământ
11 Am văzut ridicându-se din pământ o altă fiară. Avea două coarne ca de miel şi vorbea ca un balaur. 12 Ea a exercitat toată autoritatea primei fiare, în locul ei. A făcut ca pământul şi locuitorii lui să i se închine primei fiare, cea a cărei rană de moarte fusese vindecată. 13 Făcea semne mari şi cobora chiar foc din cer pe pământ înaintea oamenilor. 14 Ea îi ducea în rătăcire pe locuitorii pământului prin semnele care îi fusese dat să le facă în locul celeilalte fiare, spunându-le locuitorilor pământului să facă o imagine a fiarei care avusese rana cauzată de sabie, şi care totuşi a trăit. 15 I-a fost dat să dea suflare imaginii fiarei, pentru ca imaginea fiarei să şi vorbească şi totodată să facă ca toţi care nu se închină imaginii fiarei să fie omorâţi. 16 Ea a făcut ca la toţi – mici şi mari, bogaţi şi săraci, liberi şi sclavi – să li se dea un semn pe mâna dreaptă sau pe frunte 17 şi nimeni să nu poată cumpăra sau vinde dacă nu are semnul, adică numele fiarei sau numărul numelui ei. 18 Aici este înţelepciunea! Cel ce are pricepere, să calculeze numărul fiarei, pentru că este numărul unui om. Numărul său este şase sute şaizeci şi şase.

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.
