两只兽
我又看见一只兽从海里上来，有十个角七个头；在十个角上戴着十个冠冕，七个头上有亵渎的名号。
And 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。那条龙将自己的能力、座位和大权柄都给了它。And 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我看见兽的七个头中，有一个似乎受了致命伤，那伤却医好了。全地的人都很惊讶，跟从了那只兽。And 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他们都拜那条龙，因为它把自己的权柄给了兽；又拜那只兽，说：“谁能比这只兽，谁能与它交战呢？”And 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龙又赐给那只兽说夸大亵渎话的口，又赐给它权柄可以任意行事四十二个月。And 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那兽就开口向神说亵渎的话，亵渎神的名和他的帐幕，就是那些住在天上的。And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7它又被准许与圣徒作战，并且得胜，也赐给它权柄，可以制伏各支派、各民族、各语言、各邦国。And 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羔羊的生命册上的人都要拜它。And 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.
9凡有耳朵的都听吧！If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10该被掳掠的，必被掳掠； 该被刀杀的，必被刀杀。在此，圣徒要有耐心和信心。He 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我又看见另一只兽从地里上来。它有两个角如同羔羊，说话好像龙。And 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它在第一只兽面前施行第一只兽所有的权柄，并且使地和住在地上的人拜那致命伤被医好了的第一只兽。And 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这只兽又行大奇事，甚至在人面前使火从天降在地上。And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14它得了权柄在第一只兽面前能行奇事，迷惑住在地上的人，告诉他们要为那受过刀伤还活着的兽造个像。And 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，让那只兽的像有生气，并且能说话，又使所有不拜兽像的人都被杀害。And 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它又使众人，无论大小、贫富，自主的、为奴的，都在右手上，或是在额上，打一个印记；And 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:
17这样，除了那有印记，有兽的名或有兽名数字的，都不得买或卖。And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18在此，要有智慧：让有悟性的人解开兽的数目吧，因为这是一个人的数字，那数字是六百六十六。Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
