Revelation 13
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.
Entonces me paré sobre la arena del mar. Vi una bestia que subía del mar, con diez cuernos y siete cabezas. En sus cuernos había diez coronas, y en sus cabezas, nombres blasfemos.
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.
La bestia que vi era como un leopardo, y sus pies eran como los de un oso, y su boca como la de un león. El dragón le dio su poder, su trono y gran autoridad.
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.
Una de sus cabezas parecía haber sido herida mortalmente. Su herida mortal fue curada, y toda la tierra se maravilló de la bestia.
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?”
Adoraron al dragón porque le dio su autoridad a la bestia; y adoraron a la bestia, diciendo: “¿Quién es como la bestia? ¿Quién es capaz de hacer la guerra con él?”
5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.
Se le dio una boca que hablaba grandes cosas y blasfemias. Se le dio autoridad para hacer la guerra durante cuarenta y dos meses.
6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.
Abrió su boca para blasfemar contra Dios, para blasfemar de su nombre, de su morada y de los que habitan en el cielo.
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.
Le fue dado hacer la guerra contra los santos y vencerlos. Se le dio autoridad sobre toda tribu, pueblo, lengua y nación.
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.
Todos los que habitan en la tierra lo adorarán, todos los que no tienen su nombre escrito desde la fundación del mundo en el libro de la vida del Cordero que ha sido muerto.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
Si alguien tiene oído, que oiga.
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.
Si alguno ha de ir al cautiverio, irá al cautiverio. Si alguno ha de ser muerto a espada, será muerto. Aquí está la resistencia y la fe de los santos.
11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
Vi otra bestia que subía de la tierra. Tenía dos cuernos como los de un cordero y hablaba como un dragón.
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.
Ejerce en su presencia toda la autoridad de la primera bestia. Hace que la tierra y los que la habitan adoren a la primera bestia, cuya herida mortal fue curada.
13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.
Realiza grandes señales, incluso haciendo bajar fuego del cielo a la tierra a la vista de la gente.
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.
Engaña a mi propio pueblo que habita en la tierra por las señales que se le concedió hacer frente a la bestia, diciendo a los que habitan en la tierra que hagan una imagen a la bestia que tenía la herida de espada y vivió.
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.
Se le concedió dar aliento a la imagen de la bestia, para que la imagen de la bestia hable y haga morir a todos los que no adoren la imagen de la bestia.
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;
Hace que a todos, a los pequeños y a los grandes, a los ricos y a los pobres, a los libres y a los esclavos, se les pongan marcas en la mano derecha o en la frente;
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.
y que nadie pueda comprar ni vender si no tiene esa marca, que es el nombre de la bestia o el número de su nombre.
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.
He aquí la sabiduría. El que tenga entendimiento, que calcule el número de la bestia, porque es el número de un hombre. Su número es seiscientos sesenta y seis.
