Apocalypsis 13

1 Et stetit supra arenam maris. Et vidi de mari bestiam ascendentem, habentem capita septem, et cornua decem, et super cornua eius decem diademata, et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae.

And I stood on the sand of the sea, and saw a beast coming up out of the sea, and he had seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten diadems, and on his heads names impiously irreverent.

2 Et bestia, quam vidi, similis erat pardo, et pedes eius sicut pedes ursi, et os eius sicut os leonis. Et dedit illi draco virtutem suam, et potestatem magnam.

And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as those of a bear, and his mouth was as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.

3 Et vidi unum de capitibus suis quasi occisum in mortem: et plaga mortis eius curata est. Et admirata est universa terra post bestiam.

And I saw one of his heads as if it had been wounded even to death; and his deadly wound was healed; and all the earth wondered after the beast.

4 Et adoraverunt draconem, qui dedit potestatem bestiae: et adoraverunt bestiam, dicentes: Quis similis bestiae? et quis poterit pugnare cum ea?

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 Et datum est ei os loquens magna, et blasphemias: et data est ei potestas facere menses quadraginta duos.

And there was given him a mouth that spoke great things and impious words; and authority was given to him to continue forty-two months.

6 Et aperuit os suum in blasphemias ad Deum, blasphemare nomen eius, et tabernaculum eius, et eos, qui in caelo habitant.

And he opened his mouth in impious speeches against God, to utter impious words against his name, and his tabernacle, and against those who dwell in heaven.

7 Et est datum illi bellum facere cum sanctis, et vincere eos. Et data est illi potestas in omnem tribum, et populum, et linguam, et gentem,

And it was given him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and authority was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

8 et adoraverunt eam omnes, qui inhabitant terram: quorum non sunt scripta nomina in Libro vitae Agni, qui occisus est ab origine mundi.

And all that dwell upon the earth will worship him, those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.

9 Si quis habet aurem, audiat.

If any one has an ear, let him hear.

10 Qui in captivitatem duxerit, in captivitatem vadet: qui in gladio occiderit, oportet eum gladio occidi. Hic est patientia, et fides Sanctorum.

If any one leads into captivity, he shall go into captivity. If any kills with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faithfulness of the saints.

11 Et vidi aliam bestiam ascendentem de terra, et habebat cornua duo similia Agni, et loquebatur sicut draco.

And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.

12 Et potestatem prioris bestiae omnem faciebat in conspectu eius: et fecit terram, et habitantes in ea, adorare bestiam primam, cuius curata est plaga mortis.

And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence; and he causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 Et fecit signa magna, ut etiam ignem faceret de caelo descendere in terram in conspectu hominum.

And he does great signs, and even causes fire to descend from heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.

14 Et seduxit habitantes in terra propter signa, quae data sunt illi facere in conspectu bestiae, dicens habitantibus in terra, ut faciant imaginem bestiae, quae habet plagam gladii, et vixit.

And he deceives those who dwell on the earth, by means of the signs which he is allowed to do in the presence of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image for the beast which had the wound by the sword, and did live.

15 Et datum est illi ut daret spiritum imagini bestiae, et ut loquatur imago bestiae: et faciat ut quicumque non adoraverint imaginem bestiae, occidantur.

And it was granted him to give spirit to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast, to be killed.

16 Et faciet omnes pusillos, et magnos, et divites, et pauperes, et liberos, et servos habere characterem in dextera manu sua, aut in frontibus suis.

And he causes all, small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead,

17 et nequis possit emere, aut vendere, nisi qui habet characterem, aut nomen bestiae, aut numerum nominis eius.

and that no one should be able to buy or sell, but he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Hic sapientia est. Qui habet intellectum, computet numerum bestiae. Numerus enim hominis est: et numerus eius sexcenti sexaginta sex.

Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding, count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
