Revelation 13
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Beast from the Sea
13 And the dragon stood on the sand of the [a]seashore.
Then I saw a (A)beast coming up out of the sea, having (B)ten horns and (C)seven heads, and on his horns were (D)ten diadems, and on his heads were (E)blasphemous names. 2 And the beast which I saw was (F)like a leopard, and his feet were like those of (G)a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of (H)a lion. And the (I)dragon gave him his power and his (J)throne and great authority. 3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been [b]slain, and his (K)fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth (L)was amazed and followed after the beast; 4 they worshiped the (M)dragon because he (N)gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “(O)Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” 5 There was given to him a mouth (P)speaking [c]arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for (Q)forty-two months was given to him. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, (R)those who [d]dwell in heaven.
7 It was also given to him to (S)make war with the [e]saints and to overcome them, and authority over (T)every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. 8 All who (U)dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone (V)whose name has not been [f]written (W)from the foundation of the world in the (X)book of life of (Y)the Lamb who has been slain. 9 (Z)If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 (AA)If anyone [g]is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; (AB)if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is (AC)the [h]perseverance and the faith of the [i]saints.
The Beast from the Earth
11 Then (AD)I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had (AE)two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a (AF)dragon. 12 He (AG)exercises all the authority of the first beast [j](AH)in his presence. And he makes (AI)the earth and those who dwell in it to (AJ)worship the first beast, whose (AK)fatal wound was healed. 13 He (AL)performs great signs, so that he even makes (AM)fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And he (AN)deceives (AO)those who dwell on the earth because of (AP)the signs which it was given him to perform [k](AQ)in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who *had the (AR)wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even [l]speak and cause (AS)as many as do not (AT)worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 And he causes all, (AU)the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, [m]to be given a (AV)mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the (AW)mark, either (AX)the name of the beast or (AY)the number of his name. 18 (AZ)Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that (BA)of a man; and his number is [n]six hundred and sixty-six.

Apocalipsis 13
Dios Habla Hoy
El monstruo del mar
13 Vi subir del mar un monstruo que tenía siete cabezas y diez cuernos. En cada cuerno tenía una corona, y en las cabezas tenía nombres ofensivos contra Dios. 2 Este monstruo que yo vi, parecía un leopardo; y tenía patas como de oso, y boca como de león. El dragón le dio su poder y su trono, y mucha autoridad. 3 Una de las cabezas del monstruo parecía tener una herida mortal; pero la herida fue curada, y el mundo entero se llenó de asombro y siguió al monstruo. 4 Adoraron al dragón porque había dado autoridad al monstruo, y adoraron también al monstruo, diciendo: «¿Quién hay como este monstruo, y quién podrá luchar contra él?»
5 También se le permitió al monstruo decir cosas arrogantes y ofensivas contra Dios, y tener autoridad durante cuarenta y dos meses. 6 Y así lo hizo; habló contra Dios, y dijo cosas ofensivas contra él y su santuario y contra los que están en el cielo. 7 También se le permitió hacer guerra contra el pueblo santo, hasta vencerlo; y se le dio autoridad sobre toda raza, pueblo, lengua y nación. 8 A ese monstruo lo adorarán todos los habitantes de la tierra cuyos nombres no están escritos, desde la creación del mundo, en el libro de la vida del Cordero que fue sacrificado.
9 Si alguno tiene oídos, oiga:
10 «A los que deban ir presos,
se los llevarán presos;
y a los que deban morir a filo de espada,
a filo de espada los matarán.»
Aquí se verá la fortaleza y la fe del pueblo santo.
El monstruo de la tierra
11 Después vi otro monstruo, que subía de la tierra. Tenía dos cuernos que parecían de cordero, pero hablaba como un dragón. 12 Y tenía toda la autoridad del primer monstruo, en su presencia, y hacía que la tierra y sus habitantes adoraran al primer monstruo, el que había sido curado de su herida mortal. 13 También hacía grandes señales milagrosas. Hasta hacía caer fuego del cielo a la tierra, a la vista de la gente. 14 Y por medio de esas señales que se le permitía hacer en presencia del primer monstruo, engañó a los habitantes de la tierra y les mandó que hicieran una imagen de aquel monstruo que seguía vivo a pesar de haber sido herido a filo de espada. 15 Y al segundo monstruo se le dio el poder de dar vida a la imagen del primer monstruo, para que aquella imagen hablara e hiciera matar a todos los que no la adorasen. 16 Además, hizo que a todos, pequeños y grandes, ricos y pobres, libres y esclavos, les pusieran una marca en la mano derecha o en la frente. 17 Y nadie podía comprar ni vender, si no tenía la marca o el nombre del monstruo, o el número de su nombre.
18 Aquí se verá la sabiduría; el que entienda, calcule el número del monstruo, que es un número de hombre. Ese número es el seiscientos sesenta y seis.
Revelation 13
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
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 worshipped the dragon(F) because he gave authority to the beast. And they worshipped 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 – 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]
