Apocalipse 13

1 Then I stood*13:1 NU reads he stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names. 2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast. 4 They worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him. 6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed.*13:10 TR reads "If anyone leads into captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone will kill with the sword, he must be killed with a sword." instead of "If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed." Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people. 14 He deceives my own*13:14 NU omits "my own" people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived. 15 It was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands or on their foreheads; 17 and that no one would be able to buy or to sell unless he has that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.

Ngā Kararehe e Rua

1 Nā, i te tū ahau i te one o te moana. Ā, ka kite ahau i tētahi kararehe e haere ake ana i te moana, e whitu ōna māhunga, tekau ngā haona, tekau hoki ngā karauna i runga i ōna haona, i runga anō i ōna māhunga ko te ingoa kohukohu. 2 Rite tonu hoki te kararehe i kite ai ahau ki te reparo, ko ōna waewae kei o te pea, ko tōna māngai kei te māngai o te raiona. Ā, ka hoatu e te tarakona tōna kaha ki a ia, tōna torōna, me te mana nui. 3 I kite anō ahau i tētahi o ōna mātenga me te mea kua marū, he mea e mate rawa ai; heoi, kua ora ia i tōna patunga e mate ai ia. Nā, kei te mīharo te ao katoa i muri mai i te kararehe; 4 nā, koropiko ana rātou ki te tarakona nāna nei i hoatu te mana ki te kararehe. Koropiko ana hoki ki te kararehe; i mea rātou, "Ko wai te rite ana ki te kararehe? Ko wai te kaha ana ki te whawhai ki a ia?"

5 Ā, i hoatu ki a ia he māngai, e kōrero ana i ngā kōrero nunui, i ngā kohukohu; i hoatu hoki ki a ia he kaha, e mahi ai ia ā taka noa ngā marama e whā tekau mā rua. 6 Ā, ka puaki i tōna māngai he kohukohu ki te Atua, he kohukohu ki tōna ingoa, ki tōna nohoanga, ki te hunga hoki e noho ana i te rangi. 7 I tukua anō ki a ia kia whawhai ki te hunga tapu, kia taea hoki rātou e ia. I hoatu anō ki a ia he mana ki ngā hapū katoa, ki ngā reo, ki ngā iwi. 8 Ā, ko te hunga katoa e noho ana i te whenua, ka koropiko ki a ia, ngā tāngata katoa kāhore nei ō rātou ingoa i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka ora a te Reme, nō te tīmatanga iho rā anō o te ao tōna whakamatenga.

9 Ki te mea he taringa tō tētahi, kia rongo ia!

10 Ko te tangata hopu taurekareka,

ka riro anō ia hei taurekareka;

ko te tangata e patu ana ki te hoari,

ka patua anō ia ki te hoari.

Ko tēnei te manawanui me te whakapono o te hunga tapu.

11 I kite anō ahau i tētahi atu kararehe e haere ake ana i te whenua; e rua ōna haona rite tonu ki ō te reme, ko tāna kōrero hoki i rite ki tā te tarakona. 12 Kei a ia anō ngā mana katoa o te kararehe tuatahi hei mahi ki tōna aroaro, e mea ana hoki ia i te whenua me te hunga hoki e noho ana i reira kia koropiko ki te kararehe tuatahi, kua ora nei tōna patunga e mate ai ia. 13 He nui hoki ngā tohu e meatia ana e ia, e mea ana ia i te kāpura kia heke iho i te rangi ki te whenua i te tirohanga a ngā tāngata. 14 E whakapōhēhē ana hoki ia i te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, ki ngā tohu ka hoatu nei ki a ia kia mahia ki te aroaro o te kararehe; e mea ana ia ki te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, kia hangā he whakapakoko mō te kararehe i patua nei ki te hoari, ā, kua ora nei anō.

15 I hoatu anō ki a ia kia hoatu he wairua ora ki te whakapakoko o te kararehe, e kōrero ai te whakapakoko o te kararehe, e mea ai hoki i te hunga e kore e koropiko ki te whakapakoko o te kararehe kia whakamatea. 16 I mea anō hoki ia i te hunga katoa, i te iti, i te rahi, i te hunga whai taonga, i te hunga rawakore, i ngā rangatira, i ngā pononga, kia meatia ki a rātou he tohu ki ō rātou ringaringa matau, ki ō rātou rae rānei. 17 Kia kaua hoki tētahi e āhei te hoko mai te hoko atu rānei, ko te tangata anake kei a ia nei te tohu, te ingoa rānei o te kararehe, te whika rānei o tōna ingoa.

18 Tēnei te mātauranga. Mā te tangata whai whakaaro e tatau te whika o te kararehe! He whika tangata hoki. Nā, ko tōna whika, e ono rau e ono tekau mā ono.
