13:1
|
我看見一只獸從海里上來,有十個角七個頭﹔十個角上戴著十個冠冕﹔七個頭上還有褻瀆的名。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:2
|
我所看見的獸仿佛是豹,它的腳像熊的腳,它的口像獅子的口。龍將自己的能力、座位、和大權柄、都給了它。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:3
|
它的頭有一個似乎受了能致死之傷的﹔但那能致死之傷卻得治好﹔全地之人就都希奇,跟從了獸﹔
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:4
|
又因龍將權柄給了獸,就敬拜龍,也敬拜獸,說︰「誰能比得過這獸呢?誰能對獸爭戰呢?」
|
|
|
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?
|
|
13:5
|
那時有說夸大和褻瀆話的口給了獸,也有權柄給了它、可以行事四十二個月。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:6
|
它就開口褻瀆上帝,褻瀆他的名和他榮現之幕所于天上(有古卷作︰就是那些支搭在天上的)。
|
|
|
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
|
|
13:7
|
獸得權柄、能對聖徒作戰而勝過他們﹔有權柄給了它、可以管轄各族派、各民族、各種語言的人、和各邦國。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:8
|
一切住在地上的人、名字沒有記在世界創立以來被屠殺的羔羊之生命冊上的、都必拜獸。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:9
|
人若有耳,就應當聽!
|
|
|
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
|
|
13:10
|
人若該被擄,他就去被擄。人若用刀殺人,就必須被殺于刀。這里就是需要聖徒的堅忍與信德的地方。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:11
|
我看見另一只獸從地際上來。它有兩個角像羔羊的角﹔它說話像龍。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:12
|
它行了頭一只獸的一切權柄在獸面前,叫地和住在地上的人都拜頭一只獸、就是受了能致死之傷還得治好的那只獸。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:13
|
它又行大神跡,甚至在人面前叫火從天上降在地上。
|
|
|
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
|
|
13:14
|
因了得權柄而在獸面前能行神跡、它就迷惑住在地上的人,告訴住在地上的人要為那受刀擊傷還活著的獸造像。」
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:15
|
它得了權柄、可以將生氣給獸的像,叫獸的像不但能說話,也能叫所有不拜獸像的人都被殺害。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:16
|
它叫眾人、小的大的、富的窮的、自主的為奴的,都要給自己弄個印記、或在右手上、或在額上﹔
|
|
|
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:
|
|
13:17
|
叫人、除非有印記、有獸的名或獸名的數目的印記、就不能買,也不能賣。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
13:18
|
這里就是需要智慧的地方。有心思的人可以計算這獸的數目﹔因為這是一個人名的數目︰其數目是六百六十六。
|
|
|
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.
