Revelation, 13

1. And I saw a beast ascending from the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns were ten diadems, and upon its heads were names of blasphemy.

1. I vidjeh: iz mora Zvijer izlazi sa deset rogova i sedam glava; na rogovima joj deset kruna, na glavama bogohulna imena.

2. And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, and its feet were like the feet of a bear, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave his own power and great authority to it.

2. Ta Zvijer što je vidjeh bijaše nalik na leoparda, noge joj kao medvjeðe, usta kao usta lavlja. Zmaj joj dade svoju silu i prijestolje i vlast veliku.

3. And I saw that one of its heads seemed to be slain unto death, but his deadly wound was healed. And the entire world was in wonder following the beast.

3. Jedna joj glava bijaše kao na smrt zaklana, ali joj se smrtna rana zalijeèila. Sva se zemlja, zaèuðena, zanijela za Zvijeri

4. And they worshiped the dragon, who gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying: “Who is like the beast? And who would be able to fight with it?”

4. i svi se pokloniše Zmaju koji dade takvu vlast Zvijeri. Pokloniše se i Zvijeri govoreæi: "Tko je kao Zvijer! Tko bi smio ratovati s njom?"

5. And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies. And authority was given to him to act for forty-two months.

5. I dana su joj usta da govori drskosti i hule i dana joj je vlast da to èini èetrdeset i dva mjeseca.

6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven.

6. I ona otvori usta da huli Boga, da huli ime njegovo, njegov Šator i nebesnike.

7. And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation.

7. I dano joj je da se zarati sa svecima i da ih pobijedi. Dana joj je vlast nad svakim plemenom i pukom i jezikom i narodom:

8. And all who inhabit the earth worshiped the beast, those whose names have not been written, from the origin of the world, in the Book of Life of the Lamb who was slain.

8. da joj se poklone svi pozemljari, oni kojima ime nije zapisano u knjizi života zaklanog Jaganjca, od postanka svijeta.

9. If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

9. Tko ima uho, nek posluša!

10. Whoever will be led into captivity, into captivity he goes. Whoever will kill with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the patient endurance and faith of the Saints.

10. Je li tko za progonstvo, u progonstvo æe iæi! Je li tko za maè, da bude pogubljen, maèem æe biti pogubljen! U tom je postojanost i vjera svetih.

11. And I saw another beast ascending from the land. And she had two horns like the Lamb, but she was speaking like the dragon.

11. I vidjeh: druga jedna Zvijer uzlazi iz zemlje, ima dva roga poput jaganjca, a govori kao Zmaj.

12. And she acted with all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And she caused the earth, and those dwelling in it, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

12. Vrši svu vlast one prve Zvijeri, u njenoj nazoènosti. Prisiljava zemlju i sve pozemljare da se poklone prvoj Zvijeri kojoj ono zacijeli smrtna rana.

13. And she accomplished great signs, even so that she would cause fire to descend from the sky to the earth in the sight of men.

13. Èini znamenja velika: i oganj spušta s neba na zemlju naoèigled ljudi.

14. And she seduced those living on the earth, by means of the signs that were given to her to perform in the sight of the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth that they should make an image of the beast who had a wound of the sword and yet lived.

14. Tako zavodi pozemljare znamenjima koja joj je dano èiniti u nazoènosti Zvijeri: svjetuje pozemljarima da naèine kip Zvijeri koja bijaše udarena maèem, ali preživje.

15. And it was given to her to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would speak. And she acted so that whoever would not worship the image of the beast would be slain.

15. I dano joj je udahnuti život kipu Zvijeri te kip Zvijeri progovori i poubija sve koji se god ne klanjaju kipu Zvijeri.

16. And she will cause everyone, small and great, wealthy and poor, free and servant, to have a character on their right hand or on their foreheads,

16. Ona postiže da se svima - malima i velikima, bogatima i ubogima, slobodnjacima i robovima - udari žig na desnicu ili na èelo,

17. so that no one may buy or sell, unless he has the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

17. i da nitko ne mogne kupovati ili prodavati osim onog koji nosi žig s imenom Zvijeri ili s brojem imena njezina.

18. Here is wisdom. Whoever has intelligence, let him determine the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

18. U ovome je mudrost: u koga je uma, nek odgoneta broj Zvijeri. Broj je to jednog èovjeka, a broj mu je šest stotina šezdeset i šest.
