The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem habentem capita septem et cornua decem et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae
1
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.
2 et bestiam quam vidi similis erat pardo et pedes eius sicut ursi et os eius sicut os leonis et dedit illi draco virtutem suam et potestatem magnam
2
Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
3 et unum de capitibus suis quasi occisum in mortem et plaga mortis eius curata est et admirata est universa terra post bestiam
3
And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.
4 et adoraverunt draconem quia dedit potestatem bestiae et adoraverunt bestiam dicentes quis similis bestiae et quis poterit pugnare cum ea
4
So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
5 et datum est ei os loquens magna et blasphemiae et data est illi potestas facere menses quadraginta duo
5
And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.
6 et aperuit os suum in blasphemias ad Deum blasphemare nomen eius et tabernaculum eius et eos qui in caelo habitant
6
Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
7 et datum est illi bellum facere cum sanctis et vincere illos et data est ei potestas in omnem tribum et populum et linguam et gentem
7
It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
8 et adorabunt eum omnes qui inhabitant terram quorum non sunt scripta nomina in libro vitae agni qui occisus est ab origine mundi
8
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 si quis habet aurem audiat
9
If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 qui in captivitatem in captivitatem vadit qui in gladio occiderit oportet eum gladio occidi hic est patientia et fides sanctorum
10
He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 et vidi aliam bestiam ascendentem de terra et habebat cornua duo similia agni et loquebatur sicut draco
11
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.
12 et potestatem prioris bestiae omnem faciebat in conspectu eius et facit terram et inhabitantes in eam adorare bestiam primam cuius curata est plaga mortis
12
And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 et fecit signa magna ut etiam ignem faceret de caelo descendere in terram in conspectu hominum
13
He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
14 et seducit habitantes terram propter signa quae data sunt illi facere in conspectu bestiae dicens habitantibus in terra ut faciant imaginem bestiae quae habet plagam gladii et vixit
14
And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
15 et datum est illi ut daret spiritum imagini bestiae ut et loquatur imago bestiae et faciat quicumque non adoraverint imaginem bestiae occidantur
15
He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16 et faciet omnes pusillos et magnos et divites et pauperes et liberos et servos habere caracter in dextera manu aut in frontibus suis
16
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
17 et ne quis possit emere aut vendere nisi qui habet caracter nomen bestiae aut numerum nominis eius
17
and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 hic sapientia est qui habet intellectum conputet numerum bestiae numerus enim hominis est et numerus eius est sescenti sexaginta sex
18
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
