< Revelation 13 >

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads names of blasphemy.
Mme aanong mo ponatshegelong ya me, ka bona sebatana se se sa tlwaelesegang se tlhatloga mo lewatleng. Se ne se na le ditlhogo di supa le dinaka di le some, gape se na le dirwalo di le some mo dinakeng tsa sone. Mme mo tlhogong nngwe le nngwe go kwadilwe maina a tlhapatso, a kgoba ebile a nyenyefatsa Modimo.
2 And the beast which I saw was like to a leopardess, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth; and the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority;
Sebatana se, se ne se tshwana le lengau mme se na le maroo a a tshwanang le a bera le molomo o tshwana le lengau mme se na le moroo a a tshwanang le a bera le molomo o tshwana le wa tau! Mme kgogela ya se naya nonofo ya yone le setilo sa bogosi le taolo e kgolo.
3 and one of his heads [was] as slain to death, and his wound of death had been healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast.
Mme ka bona tlhogo nngwe ya sone ekete e bolaisegile mo e neng ekete ga e kake ya tlhola e fola, mme ntho e e maswe thata eo ya fola! Mme batho ba lefatshe ba gakgamalela kgakgamatso e mme ba sala sebatana se morago ka therego.
4 And they did homage to the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and they did homage to the beast, saying, Who [is] like to the beast? and who can make war with it?
Ba obamela kgogela ka go se naya nonofo e e kalo, mme ba obamela sebatana se se sa tlwaelesegang. Ba goa ba re, “Ke kae kwa go nang le mongwe yo mogolo jaaka sone? Ke mang yo o ka kgonang go se tlhabantsha?”
5 And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to it authority to pursue its career forty-two months.
Mme kgogela ya tlhotlheletsa sebatana go tlhapatsa Morena; mme ya se naya taolo go laola lefatshe selekanyo sa dikgwedi di le masome a mane le bobedi.
6 And it opened its mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and those who have their tabernacle in the heaven.
Ka nako eo yotlhe sa tlhapatsa leina la tempele ya gagwe le botlhe ba ba nnang kwa legodimong.
7 And there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation;
Mme kgogela ya se naya nonofo go tlhabantsha batho ba Modimo le go ba fenya, le go busa dichaba tsotlhe le dipuo mo lefatsheng lothe.
8 and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage, [every one] whose name had not been written from [the] founding of [the] world in the book of life of the slain Lamb.
Le batho botlhe ba maina a bone a neng a sa kwalwa pele ga tshimologo ya lefatshe mo lokwalong lwa Botshelo lwa Kwana e e tlhabilweng, ba obamela sebatana se se bosula.
9 If any one has an ear, let him hear.
A mongwe yo o nang le ditsebe, a reetse ka kelotlhoko.
10 If any one [leads] into captivity, he goes into captivity. If any one shall kill with [the] sword, he must with [the] sword be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
Batho ba Modimo ba ba laoletsweng kgolegelo ba tlaa tshwarwa mme ba tsewe; ba ba laoletsweng loso ba tlaa bolawa. Mme lo se ka lwa kgobega marapo, gonne lo ke lobaka lwa go itshoka le go ikanyega.
11 And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and it had two horns like to a lamb, and spake as a dragon;
Mme ka bona sebatana se sengwe se se sa tlwaelesegang se sone se neng se tswa mo lefatsheng, se na le dinaka tse di potlana di le pedi jaaka tsa Kwana mme se na le lentswe le le boifisang jaaka la kgogela.
12 and it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it, and causes the earth and those that dwell in it to do homage to the first beast, whose wound of death was healed.
Se ne sa dirisa nonofo yotlhe ya sebatana se ntho ya sone e e maswe e fodileng, se se neng sa batla gore batho ba lefatshe botlhe ba se obamele.
13 And it works great signs, that it should cause even fire to come down from heaven to the earth before men.
Mme sa dira dikgakgamatso tse motho ope a neng a se ka ke a di dumela jaaka go folosetsa molelo mo lefatsheng o tswa kwa legodimong, mongwe le mongwe a lebile.
14 And it deceives those that dwell upon the earth by reason of the signs which it was given to it to work before the beast, saying to those that dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, which has the wound of the sword, and lived.
Ka go dira dikgakgamatso tse, sa tsietsa batho gongwe le gongwe, se ne se dira dikgakgamatso tse fela fa sebatana sa ntlha se le teng go se lebelela. Mme sa laela batho ba lefatshe go dira setshwantsho sa leje se segolo sa sebatana sa ntlha, se se neng se bolaisegile thata, mme sa tloga sa rula.
15 And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should also speak, and should cause that as many as should not do homage to the image of the beast should be killed.
Se ne sa letlelelwa go naya setshwano se sa leje mowa le go dira gore se bue! Hong setshwantsho se sa leje sa laela gore mongwe le mongwe yo o ganang go se obamela o tshwanetse go swa!
16 And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead;
Mme sa pateletsa mongwe le mongwe, bagolo le bannye, bahumi le bahumanegi, magolegwa le ba ba golotsweng, go tshwaiwa ka lotshwao longwe mo letsogong le legolo kgotsa mo phatleng.
17 and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name.
Mme ga bo go se ope yo o ka bonang tiro kgotsa le fa e le go reka mo marekelong kwa ntle ga gore a bo a na le lotshwao loo, lo e neng e le leina la sebatana kgotsa palo ya leina la sone.
18 Here is wisdom. He that has understanding let him count the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and its number [is] six hundred [and] sixty-six.
Jaanong malepa ke a, a a tlhokang kelotlhoko go rarabololwa. A ba ba kgonang, ba ranole palo e: dipalo tse mo leineng la gagwe di dira makgolo a marataro le masome a marataro le borataro!
