启示录 第 13 章
1我又看见一个兽从海中上来，有十角七头，在十角上戴着十个冠冕，七头上有亵渎的名号。
1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2我所看见的兽，形状像豹，脚像熊的脚，口像狮子的口。那龙将自己的能力、座位，和大权柄都给了它。
2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3我看见兽的七头中，有一个似乎受了死伤，那死伤却医好了。全地的人都希奇跟从那兽，
3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4又拜那龙—因为它将自己的权柄给了兽，也拜兽，说：「谁能比这兽，谁能与它交战呢？」
4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5又赐给它说夸大亵渎话的口，又有权柄赐给它，可以任意而行四十二个月。
5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6兽就开口向神说亵渎的话，亵渎神的名并他的帐幕，以及那些住在天上的。
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7又任凭它与圣徒争战，并且得胜；也把权柄赐给它，制伏各族、各民、各方、各国。
7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8凡住在地上、名字从创世以来没有记在被杀之羔羊生命册上的人，都要拜它。
8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
10掳掠人的，必被掳掠； 用刀杀人的，必被刀杀。 圣徒的忍耐和信心就是在此。
10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11我又看见另有一个兽从地中上来，有两角如同羊羔，说话好像龙。
11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12它在头一个兽面前，施行头一个兽所有的权柄，并且叫地和住在地上的人拜那死伤医好的头一个兽。
12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13又行大奇事，甚至在人面前，叫火从天降在地上。
13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14它因赐给它权柄在兽面前能行奇事，就迷惑住在地上的人，说：「要给那受刀伤还活着的兽作个像。」
14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15又有权柄赐给它，叫兽像有生气，并且能说话，又叫所有不拜兽像的人都被杀害。
15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16它又叫众人，无论大小、贫富、自主的、为奴的，都在右手上或是在额上受一个印记。
16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
