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 saw, out of the sea, a wild-beast coming up; having ten horns, and seven heads, and, upon his horns, ten diadems, and, upon his head, names of blasphemy.

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 which I saw, was like unto a leopard; and, his feet, as of a bear, and, his mouth, as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave unto 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, showing that it had been slain unto death, and, the stroke of his death, was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the wild-beast,

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

and did homage unto the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the wild-beast; and they did homage unto the wild-beast, saying—Who is like unto the wild-beast? and Who can 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 unto him, a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and it was given unto him to act, forty and 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 for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tent, —them, who, in heaven were tabernacling.

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 unto him, to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; ] and there was given him, authority against 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 they who are dwelling upon the earth will do homage unto him, —[every one] whose name is not written in the scroll of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 Si quis habet aurem, audiat.

If anyone hath 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 anyone [carrieth] into captivity, into captivity, he goeth away. If anyone, with a sword, doth slay, he must, with a sword, be slain. Here, is the endurance and the faith 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 wild-beast, coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns, like unto a lamb, and began speaking 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, all the authority of the first wild-beast, he useth before him; and causeth the earth, and them who, therein, are dwelling, that they shall do homage unto the first wild-beast, whose stroke of death, was healed.

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

And he doeth great signs, so that, even fire, he causeth to be coming down unto the earth before 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 deceiveth them who are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the signs which it was given him to do before the wild-beast, —saying unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, that they should make an image unto the wild-beast who hath the stroke of the sword, and yet 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 given unto it, to give spirit unto the image of the wild-beast, in order that the image of the wild-beast should both speak and should cause that, as many as should not do homage unto the image of the wild-beast, should be slain.

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 causeth all—the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, —that they should give unto them a mark, upon their right hand or upon 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 to sell, save he that hath 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: he that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is, the number of a man; and, his number, is 666.
