¹And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw out of the sea a beast coming up, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads a name of evil speaking,

¹Ma nägin merest üles tulevat metsalist, kellel oli seitse pead ja kümme sarve, ning ta sarvede peal kümme peaehet, ning ta peade peal olid jumalateotuse nimed.

²and the beast that I saw was like to a leopard, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon did give to it his power, and his throne, and great authority.

²Ja metsaline, keda ma nägin, oli pantri sarnane ning ta jalad olid otsekui karul ning ta suu oli nagu lõvi suu. Lohe andis temale oma väe ja oma trooni ja suure meelevalla.

³And I saw one of its heads as slain to death, and its deadly stroke was healed, and all the earth did wonder after the beast,

³Üks ta peadest oli nagu surmavalt haavatud, ent tema surmahaav paranes.Kogu ilmamaa oli imestunud, käies metsalise järel,

⁴and they did bow before the dragon who did give authority to the beast, and they did bow before the beast, saying, `Who [is] like to the beast? who is able to war with it?`

⁴ning nad kummardasid lohet, et ta metsalisele oli andnud meelevalla, ning nad kummardasid metsalist ja ütlesid: 'Kes on metsalise sarnane ja kes suudab temaga sõdida?'

⁵And there was given to it a mouth speaking great things, and evil-speakings, and there was given to it authority to make war forty-two months,

⁵Talle anti suu rääkida suuri asju ja teotada Jumalat ning talle anti meelevald tegutseda nelikümmend ja kaks kuud.

⁶and it did open its mouth for evil-speaking toward God, to speak evil of His name, and of His tabernacle, and of those who in the heaven tabernacle,

⁶Ja ta avas oma suu Jumala teotamiseks, et teotada tema nime ja tema telki - neid, kes viibivad taevas.

⁷and 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 tongue, and nation.

⁷Talle anti voli pidada sõda pühadega ja neid võita, ning talle anti meelevald iga suguharu ja rahva ja keele ja paganahõimu üle.

⁸And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;

⁸Teda hakkasid kummardama kõik, kes ilmamaal elavad, kelle nime ei ole maailma rajamisest saadik kirjutatud tapetud Talle eluraamatusse.

⁹if any one hath an ear — let him hear:

⁹Kui kellelgi on kõrv, siis ta kuulgu!

¹⁰if any one a captivity doth gather, into captivity he doth go away; if any one by sword doth kill, it behoveth him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

¹⁰Kui keegi peab vangipõlve minema, siis vangipõlve ta läheb. Kui keegi peab tapetama mõõgaga, siis mõõgaga ta tapetakse. Siin olgu pühadel kannatlikkust ja usku!

¹¹And I saw another beast coming up out of the land, and it had two horns, like a lamb, and it was speaking as a dragon,

¹¹Ma nägin maast üles tulevat teist metsalist, sel oli kaks sarve otsekui tallel ning ta rääkis nagu lohe.

¹²and all the authority of the first beast doth it do before it, and it maketh the land and those dwelling in it that they shall bow before the first beast, whose deadly stroke was healed,

¹²Ta tegi kõik esimese metsalise meelevallaga tema ees ning ta tegi, et ilmamaa ja need, kes seal elavad, kummardaksid esimest metsalist, kelle surmahaav oli paranenud.

¹³and it doth great signs, that fire also it may make to come down from the heaven to the earth before men,

¹³Ja ta tegi suuri tunnustähti, nõnda et ta lasi ka tule taevast maa peale maha tulla inimeste silme ees,

¹⁴and it leadeth astray those dwelling on the land, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling upon the land to make an image to the beast that hath the stroke of the sword and did live,

¹⁴ning ta eksitas ilmamaa elanikke tunnustähtedega, mis talle oli antud teha metsalise ees, käskides ilmamaa elanikke teha kuju metsalisele, kellel oli mõõgahaav ning kes oli tõusnud ellu.

¹⁵and there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that also the image of the beast may speak, and [that] it may cause as many as shall not bow before the image of the beast, that they may be killed.

¹⁵Talle anti meelevald anda vaimu metsalise kujule, et ka metsalise kuju räägiks ja teeks, et tapetaks igaüks, kes ei kummarda metsalise kuju.

¹⁶And it maketh all, the small, and the great, and the rich, and the poor, and the freemen, and the servants, that it may give to them a mark upon their right hand or upon their foreheads,

¹⁶Ja ta tegi, et kõik - pisikesed ja suured, rikkad ja vaesed, vabad ja orjad - võtaksid endale märgi oma paremale käele või oma otsaette,

¹⁷and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁷ning et keegi muu ei tohiks osta ega müüa kui vaid see, kellel on märk, kas metsalise nimi või tema nime arv.

¹⁸Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for the number of a man it is, and its number [is] 666.

¹⁸Siin olgu tarkust! Kellel on mõistust, see arvutagu välja metsalise arv, sest see on inimese arv, ja tema arv on kuussada kuuskümmend kuus.
