Revelation 13

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Then I saw a beast emerge from the sea: it had seven heads and ten horns, with a coronet on each ofits ten horns, and its heads were marked with blasphemous titles.	1 וָאֱהִי עֹמֵד עַל־חוֹל הַיָּם וָאֵרֶא חַיָּה עֹלָה מִן־הַיָּם וְלָהּ שִׁבְעָה רָאשִׁים וְעֶשֶׂר קַרְנָיִם וְעַל־קַרְנֶיהָ עֲשָׂרָה כְתָרִים וְעַל־רָאשֶׁיהָ שְׁמוֹת גִּדּוּפִים
2 I saw that the beast was like a leopard, with paws like a bear and a mouth like a lion; the dragon hadhanded over to it his own power and his throne and his immense authority.	2 וְהַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי מַרְאֶהָ כְנָמֵר וְרַגְלֶיהָ כְּרַגְלֵי דֹב וּפִיהָ כְּפִי אַרְיֵה וַיִּתֶּן־לָהּ הַתַּנִּין אֶת־כֹּחוֹ וְאֶת־כִּסְאוֹ וּמִמְשָׁל רָב
3 I saw that one of its heads seemed to have had a fatal wound but that this deadly injury had healedand the whole world had marvel ed and fol owed the beast.	3 וָאֵרֶא וְהִנֵּה אֶחָד מֵרָאשֶׁיהָ כְּפָצוּעַ עַד־מָוֶת וּמַכַּת מָוֶת אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ נִרְפָּאָה וַתִּשְׁתּוֹמֵם כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אַחֲרֵי הַחַיָּה
4 They prostrated themselves in front of the dragon because he had given the beast his authority; andthey prostrated themselves in front of the beast, saying, 'Who can compare with the beast? Who can fightagainst it?'	4 וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַתַּנִּין אֲשֶׁר־נָתַן מֶמְשָׁלָה לַחַיָּה וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַחַיָּה וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִי יִדְמֶה לַחַיָּה וּמִי יוּכַל לְהִלָּחֵם אִתָּהּ
5 The beast was allowed to mouth its boasts and blasphemies and to be active for forty-two months;	5 וַיִּנָּתֶן לָהּ פֶּה מְמַלֵּל גְּדֹלוֹת וְנֶאָצוֹת וְשָׁלְטָן נִתַּן־לָהּ לַעֲשׂוֹת מִלְחָמָה אַרְבָּעִים וּשְׁנַיִם חֳדָשִׁים
6 and it mouthed its blasphemies against God, against his name, his heavenly Tent and al those whoare sheltered there.	6 וַתִּפְתַּח אֶת־פִּיהָ לִנְאָצָה אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִים וַתְּנַאֵץ אֶת־שְׁמוֹ וְאֶת־מִשְׁכָּנוֹ וְאֶת־הַשֹּׁכְנִים בַּשָּׁמָיִם
7 It was allowed to make war against the saints and conquer them, and given power over every race,people, language and nation;	7 וַיִּנָּתֶן לָהּ לַעֲשׂוֹת מִלְחָמָה עִם־הַקְּדשִׁים וּלְנַצְּחָם וַתִּנָּתֶן לָהּ מֶמְשָׁלָה עַל־כָּל־מִשְׁפָּחָה וָעָם וְלָשׁוֹן וָגוֹי
8 and al people of the world wil worship it, that is, everybody whose name has not been written downsince the foundation of the world in the sacrificial Lamb's book of life.	8 וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהּ כָּל־ישְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־נִכְתְּבוּ שְׁמוֹתָם בְּסֵפֶר הַחַיִּים אֲשֶׁר לַשֶּׂה הַטָּבוּחַ מִיּוֹם הִוָּסֵד תֵּבֵל
9 Let anyone who can hear, listen:	9 כָּל־אֲשֶׁר אֹזֶן לוֹ יִשְׁמָע
10 Those for captivity to captivity; those for death by the sword to death by the sword. This is why thesaints must have perseverance and faith.	10 כָּל־הַמּוֹלִיךְ לַשְּׁבִי יֵלֵךְ בַּשֶּׁבִי וְכָל־הַהֹרֵג בַּחֶרֶב הָרֹג יֵהָרֵג בֶּחָרֶב בָּזֶה סַבְלָנוּת וֶאֱמוּנַת הַקְּדשִׁים
11 Then I saw a second beast, emerging from the ground; it had two horns like a lamb, but made anoise like a dragon.	11 וָאֵרֶא חַיָּה אַחֶרֶת עֹלָה מִן־הָאֲדָמָה וְלָהּ קַרְנַיִם כְּקַרְנֵי שֶׂה וּמְדַבֶּרֶת כְּתַנִּין
12 This second beast exercised al the power of the first beast, on its behalf making the world and al itspeople worship the first beast, whose deadly injury had healed.	12 וְהִיא עֹשָׂה כָּל־פִּקּוּדֵי הַחַיָּה הָרִאשׁוֹנָה בְּפָנֶיהָ וּמְבִיאָה אֶת־הָאָרֶץ וְישְׁבֶיהָ לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺת לַחַיָּה הָרִאשׁוֹנָה אֲשֶׁר־נִרְפְּאָה מַכַּת מָוֶת אֲשֶׁר־לָהּ
13 And it worked great miracles, even to calling down fire from heaven onto the earth while peoplewatched.	13 וְנֹתֶנֶת אוֹתוֹת גְּדֹלוֹת וְגַם־אֵשׁ מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם תּוֹרִיד אַרְצָה לְעֵינֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם
14 Through the miracles which it was al owed to do on behalf of the first beast, it was able to lead astraythe people of the world and persuade them to put up a statue in honour of the beast that had been wounded bythe sword and stil lived.	14 וְתַתְעֶה אֶת־ישְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ עַל־יְדֵי הָאוֹתוֹת אֲשֶׁר נִתַּן־לָהּ לַעֲשׂוֹת בִּפְנֵי הַחַיָּה בְּאָמְרָהּ אֶל־ישְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ לַעֲשׂוֹת צֶלֶם לַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר־הֻכְּתָה מַכַּת־חֶרֶב וַתֶּחִי
15 It was al owed to breathe life into this statue, so that the statue of the beast was able to speak, and tohave anyone who refused to worship the statue of the beast put to death.	15 וַיִּנָּתֶן־לָהּ לָתֵת רוּחַ בְּצֶלֶם הַחַיָּה לְמַעַן דַּבֵּר יְדַבֵּר צֶלֶם הַחַיָּה וְעָשְׂתָה כִּי־כֹל אֲשֶׁר־אֵינָם מִשְׁתַּחֲוִים לְצֶלֶם הַחַיָּה מוֹת יוּמָתוּ
16 It compel ed everyone -- smal and great alike, rich and poor, slave and citizen -- to be branded onthe right hand or on the forehead,	16 וַתַּעַשׂ כִּי־כֻלָּם לְמִקָּטֹן וְעַד־גָּדוֹל אִם־אֶבְיוֹן וְאִם־עָשִׁיר גַּם־בְּנֵי הַחֹרִין גַּם־הָעֲבָדִים יַתְווּ תָו עַל־יַד יְמִינָם אוֹ עַל־מִצְחוֹתָם
17 and made it il egal for anyone to buy or sell anything unless he had been branded with the name ofthe beast or with the number of its name.	17 וְכִי לֹא־יוּכַל אִישׁ לִקְנוֹת אוֹ לִמְכֹּר כִּי אִם־בִּהְיוֹת עָלָיו תָּו הַחַיָּה אוֹ שְׁמָהּ אוֹ־מִסְפַּר שְׁמָהּ
18 There is need for shrewdness here: anyone clever may interpret the number of the beast: it is thenumber of a human being, the number 666.	18 בָּזֶה הַחָכְמָה מִי אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ תְבוּנָה יְחַשֵּׁב מִסְפַּר הַחַיָּה כִּי מִסְפַּר בֶּן־אָדָם הוּא וּמִסְפָּרוֹ שֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת וְשִׁשִּׁים וָשֵׁשׁ
