Revelation 13
The dragon summons two beasts. The first rises from the sea, leopard-bear-lion, with a fatal head wound that heals so the whole earth marvels and worships. For forty-two months it blasphemes and wars on the saints. A second beast rises from the earth, two horns like a lamb but speaking like a dragon. Watch the second beast's machinery: it makes an image speak, kills those who refuse it, and brands every hand and forehead.
- 1
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.
- 2
The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
- 3
One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast.
- 4
They worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
- 5
A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.
- 6
He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.
- 7
It was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
- 8
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.
- 9
If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
- 10
If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
- 11
I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
- 12
He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
- 13
He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.
- 14
He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.
- 15
It was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed.
- 16
He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands or on their foreheads;
- 17
and that no one would be able to buy or to sell unless he has that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
- 18
Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
- 1
Então fiquei em pé sobre a areia do mar. Vi uma besta subindo do mar, a qual tinha dez chifres e sete cabeças. Sobre os seus chifres havia dez coroas, e sobre as suas cabeças, nomes blasfemos.
- 2
A besta que vi era semelhante a um leopardo, os seus pés eram como os de um urso, e a sua boca como a boca de um leão. O dragão deu-lhe o seu poder, o seu trono e grande autoridade.
- 3
Uma de suas cabeças parecia ter sofrido uma ferida mortal. Mas a sua ferida mortal foi curada, e toda a terra se maravilhou seguindo a besta.
- 4
Eles adoraram o dragão porque ele deu a sua autoridade à besta; e adoraram a besta, dizendo: “Quem é semelhante à besta? Quem pode fazer guerra contra ela?”
- 5
Foi-lhe dada uma boca que proferia grandezas e blasfêmias. Foi-lhe dada autoridade para fazer guerra por quarenta e dois meses.
- 6
Ela abriu a boca para blasfemar contra Deus, para blasfemar do seu nome, do seu tabernáculo, e daqueles que habitam no céu.
- 7
Foi-lhe dado fazer guerra contra os santos e vencê-los. Foi-lhe dada autoridade sobre toda tribo, povo, língua e nação.
- 8
Todos os que habitam na terra a adorarão, todo aquele cujo nome não foi escrito, desde a fundação do mundo, no livro da vida do Cordeiro que foi morto.
- 9
Se alguém tem ouvidos, ouça.
- 10
Se alguém há de ir para o cativeiro, para o cativeiro irá. Se alguém há de ser morto à espada, à espada deve ser morto. Aqui está a perseverança e a fé dos santos.
- 11
Vi outra besta subindo da terra. Ela tinha dois chifres como um cordeiro, mas falava como um dragão.
- 12
Ela exerce toda a autoridade da primeira besta em sua presença. Ela faz com que a terra e os que nela habitam adorem a primeira besta, cuja ferida mortal foi curada.
- 13
Ela realiza grandes sinais, até mesmo fazendo descer fogo do céu para a terra à vista das pessoas.
- 14
Ela engana o meu próprio povo que habita na terra, por causa dos sinais que lhe foi concedido realizar diante da besta, dizendo aos que habitam na terra que façam uma imagem à besta que tinha a ferida da espada e sobreviveu.
- 15
Foi-lhe concedido dar fôlego à imagem da besta, para que a imagem da besta não apenas falasse, mas fizesse com que fossem mortos todos os que não adorassem a imagem da besta.
- 16
Ela faz com que todos, os pequenos e os grandes, os ricos e os pobres, os livres e os escravos, recebam marcas em suas mãos direitas ou em suas testas;
- 17
e que ninguém possa comprar ou vender, a não ser aquele que tem a marca, que é o nome da besta ou o número do seu nome.
- 18
Aqui está a sabedoria. Aquele que tem entendimento calcule o número da besta, pois é o número de um homem. O seu número é seiscentos e sessenta e seis.
The mark and the number 666
The land-beast enforces commerce: no one can buy or sell without the mark, "the name of the beast or the number of his name." The chapter closes with a riddle: "Here is wisdom"—the number is that of a man, six hundred sixty-six.
Between the threats sits a quiet word to the persecuted in verse 10: "Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints." Their victory is not resistance by force but faithful endurance under a power that imitates the Lamb.
