Aabenbaringen 13
1 Og jeg stod på Sandet ved Havet. Og jeg så et Dyr stige op af Havet, som havde ti Horn og syv Hoveder, og på sine Horn ti Kroner, og på sine Hoveder Bespottelsens Navne.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads; and upon his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
2 Og Dyret, som jeg så, var ligt en Panter, og dets Fødder som en Bjørns, og dets Mund som en Løves Mund; og Dragen gav det sin Kraft og sin Trone og stor Magt.
And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of lions: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
3 Og jeg så et af dets Hoveder ligesom såret til Døden, og dets dødelige Sår blev lægt, og al Jorden fulgte undrende efter Dyret.
And I saw one of his heads as it had been smitten unto death; and the wound of his death was healed. And the whole earth wondered after the beast:
4 Og de tilbade Dragen, fordi den havde givet Dyret Magten; og de tilbade Dyret og sagde: Hvem er Dyret lig? hvem mægter at kæmpe imod det?
and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying; Who is like the beast? and who is able to make war with him?
5 Og der blev givet det en Mund til at tale store Ord og Bespottelser, og der blev givet det Magt til at virke i to og fyrretyve Måneder.
and a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies; and authority was given unto him to prevail forty-two months.
6 Og det åbnede sin Mund til Bespottelser imod Gud, til at bespotte hans Navn og hans Telt, dem, som bo i Himmelen.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, those dwelling in the heaven.
7 Og der blev givet det at føre Krig imod de hellige og at overvinde dem; og der blev givet det Magt over hver Stamme og Folk og Tungemål og Folkeslag.
And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them: and authority was given unto him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation.
8 Og alle, som bo på Jorden, skulle tilbede ham, enhver, hvis Navn ikke fra Verdens Grundlæggelse er skrevet i Lammets, det slagtedes, Livets Bog.
And all those who dwell upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him.
9 Dersom nogen har Øre, han høre!
if any one has ears, let him hear.
10 Dersom nogen fører andre i Fængsel, han kommer selv i Fængsel; dersom nogen dræber med Sværd, han skal dræbes med Sværd. Her gælder det de helliges Udholdenhed og Tro.
If any one leads into captivity he goes into captivity: if any one kills with a sword, it behooves him to be killed with a sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 Og jeg så et andet Dyr stige op af Jorden, og det havde to Horn ligesom et Lam og talte som en Drage.
And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he continued to speak as the dragon.
12 Og det udøver hele det første Dyrs Magt for dets Åsyn og får Jorden og dem, som bo derpå, til at tilbede det første dyr, hvis dødelige Sår blev lægt.
And he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him. And he makes the earth and those dwelling in it, that they shall worship the first beast, whose wound of his death was healed.
13 Og det gør store Tegn, så at det endog får Ild til. at falde ned fra Himmelen på Jorden for Menneskenes Åsyn.
And he performs great signs, so that he can indeed make fire descend out of the heaven to the earth in presence of the people.
14 Og det forfører dem, som bo på Jorden, for de Tegns Skyld, som det blev givet det at gøre for Dyrets Åsyn, og siger til dem, som bo på Jorden, at de skulle gøre et Billede af Dyret, ham, som har Sværdhugget og kom til Live.
And he deceives those dwelling upon the earth through the signs which it was given unto him to perform in the presence of the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who had the wound of the sword, and did live.
15 Og det fik Magt til at give Dyrets Billede Ånd, så at Dyrets Billede endog kunde tale og gøre, at alle de, der ikke vilde tilbede Dyrets Billede, skulde ihjelslås.
And it was given unto him to give spirit to the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast may indeed speak, and he may cause so many as will not worship the image of the beast that they should be killed.
16 Og det får alle, både små og støre, både rige og fattige, både frie og Trælle, til at sætte sig et Mærke på deres højre Hånd eller på deres Pande,
And he causes all, small and great, both rich and poor, both free and bond, that they may give them a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead:
17 for at ingen skal kunne købe eller sælge uden den, som har Mærket, Dyrets Navn eller dets Navns Tal.
that no one may be able to buy or sell, except the one having the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Her gælder det Visdom! Den, som har Forstand, udregne Dyrets Tal; thi det er et Menneskes Tal, og dets Tal er 666.
Here is wisdom. Let the one having understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man. And his is, Six hundred and sixty-six.
