1И стадох на песку морском; и видех звер где излази из мора, која имаше седам глава, и рогова десет, и на роговима њеним десет круна, а на главама њеним имена хулна.
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.
2И звер коју видех беше као рис, и ноге јој као у медведа, и уста њена као уста лавова, и даде јој змија силу своју, и престо свој, и област велику.
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.
3И видех једну од глава њених као рањену на смрт, и рана смрти њене излечи се. И чуди се сва земља иза звери, и поклонише се змији, која даде област звери.
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.
4И поклонише се звери говорећи: Ко је као звер? И ко може ратовати с њом?
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?
5И дана јој бише уста која говоре велике ствари и хуљења, и дана јој би област да чини четрдесет и два месеца.
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.
6И отвори уста своја за хуљење на Бога, да хули на име Његово, и на кућу Његову, и на оне који живе на небу.
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7И дано јој би да се бије са светима, и да их победи; и дана јој би област над сваким коленом и народом и језиком и племеном.
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.
8И поклонише јој се сви који живе на земљи којима имена нису записана у животној књизи Јагњета, које је заклано од постања света.
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.
9Ако ко има ухо нека чује.
9If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10Ко у ропство води, биће у ропство одведен; ко ножем убије ваља да он ножем буде убијен. Овде је трпљење и вера светих.
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.
11И видех другу звер где излази из земље, и имаше два рога као у јагњета; и говораше као аждаха.
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.
12И сву власт прве звери чињаше пред њом; и учини да земља и који живе на њој поклони се првој звери којој се исцели рана смртна.
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.
13И учини чудеса велика, и учини да и огањ силази с неба на земљу пред људима.
13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14И вара оне који живе на земљи знацима, који јој бише дани да чини пред звери, говорећи онима што живе на земљи да начине икону звери која имаде рану смртну и оста жива.
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.
15И би јој дано да даде дух икони звериној, да проговори икона зверина, и да учини да се побију који се год не поклоне икони звериној.
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.
16И учини све, мале и велике, богате и сиромашне, слободњаке и робове, те им даде жиг на десној руци њиховој или на челима њиховим,
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:
17Да нико не може ни купити ни продати, осим ко има жиг, или име звери, или број имена њеног.
17And 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.
18Овде је мудрост. Ко има ум нека израчуна број звери: јер је број човеков и број њен шест стотина и шездесет и шест.
18Here 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.
