von SCM Verlag1Und ich sah aus dem Meer ein Tier aufsteigen, das zehn Hörner und sieben Köpfe hatte, und auf seinen Hörnern zehn Diademe[1], und auf seinen Köpfen Namen der Lästerung. (Offb 11,7; Offb 17,3; Offb 17,9; Offb 17,12)2Und das Tier, das ich sah, war gleich einem Panther und seine Füße wie die eines Bären und sein Maul wie eines Löwen Maul. Und der Drache gab ihm seine Kraft und seinen Thron und große Macht[2]. (Dan 7,4; Lk 4,6; Offb 16,10; Offb 19,19)3Und ⟨ich sah⟩ einen seiner Köpfe wie zum Tod geschlachtet. Und seine Todeswunde wurde geheilt, und die ganze Erde staunte hinter dem Tier her. (Offb 17,8)4Und sie beteten den Drachen an, weil er dem Tier die Macht[3] gab, und sie beteten das Tier an und sagten: Wer ist dem Tier gleich? Und wer kann mit ihm kämpfen? (Ps 89,7)5Und es wurde ihm ein Mund gegeben, der große Dinge und Lästerungen redete; und es wurde ihm Macht[4] gegeben, 42 Monate zu wirken. (Dan 7,8; Dan 8,24; Dan 11,36; Offb 11,2)6Und es öffnete seinen Mund zu Lästerungen gegen Gott, um seinen Namen und sein Zelt ⟨und⟩ die, welche im Himmel wohnen, zu lästern. (2Thess 2,4)7Und es wurde ihm gegeben, mit den Heiligen Krieg zu führen und sie zu überwinden; und es wurde ihm Macht[5] gegeben über jeden Stamm und jedes Volk und jede Sprache und jede Nation. (Offb 11,7)8Und alle, die auf der Erde wohnen, werden ihn[6] anbeten, ⟨jeder,⟩ dessen Name nicht geschrieben ist im Buch des Lebens des geschlachteten Lammes von Grundlegung der Welt an. (Offb 3,5; Offb 3,10; Offb 5,6)9Wenn jemand ein Ohr hat, so höre er! (Offb 2,7)10Wenn jemand in Gefangenschaft ⟨geht⟩, so geht er in Gefangenschaft; wenn jemand mit dem Schwert getötet wird[7], so muss er mit dem Schwert getötet werden. Hier ist das Ausharren und der Glaube der Heiligen. (Jer 15,2; Jer 43,11; Mt 26,52; Hebr 6,12; Offb 14,12)11Und ich sah ein anderes Tier aus der Erde aufsteigen; und es hatte zwei Hörner gleich einem Lamm, und es redete wie ein Drache. (Mt 7,15)12Und die ganze Macht[8] des ersten Tieres übt es vor ihm aus, und es veranlasst die Erde und die auf ihr wohnen, dass sie das erste Tier anbeten, dessen Todeswunde geheilt wurde. (Offb 13,3)13Und es tut große Zeichen, dass es selbst Feuer vom Himmel vor den Menschen auf die Erde herabkommen lässt; (1Kön 18,38; Mt 24,24; Offb 16,14)14und es verführt die, welche auf der Erde wohnen, wegen der Zeichen, die vor dem Tier zu tun ihm gegeben wurde, und es sagt denen, die auf der Erde wohnen, dem Tier, das[9] die Wunde des Schwertes hat und ⟨wieder⟩ lebendig geworden ist, ein Bild zu machen. (5Mo 13,2; Offb 3,10; Offb 19,20)15Und es wurde ihm gegeben, dem Bild des Tieres Odem[10] zu geben, sodass das Bild des Tieres sogar redete und bewirkte, dass alle getötet wurden, die das Bild des Tieres nicht anbeteten. (Dan 3,6)16Und es bringt alle dahin, die Kleinen[11] und die Großen, und die Reichen und die Armen, und die Freien und die Sklaven, dass man ihnen ein Malzeichen an ihre rechte Hand oder an ihre Stirn gibt; (Offb 14,9; Offb 19,20; Offb 20,4)17und dass niemand kaufen oder verkaufen kann, als nur der, welcher das Malzeichen hat, den Namen des Tieres oder die Zahl seines Namens.18Hier ist die Weisheit. Wer Verständnis[12] hat, berechne die Zahl des Tieres! Denn es ist eines Menschen Zahl; und seine Zahl ist 666[13]. (Offb 15,2; Offb 17,9)
1And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. (Dan 7,3; Offb 12,3; Offb 17,3)2And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. (Dan 7,4; Dan 7,5; Dan 7,6; Lk 4,6; Offb 13,4; Offb 13,11; Offb 16,10)3One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. (Offb 17,8)4And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” (Offb 18,18)5And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. (Dan 7,8; Dan 7,11; Dan 7,20; Dan 11,36; 2Thess 2,4; Offb 11,2; Offb 12,6)6It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[1] that is, those who dwell in heaven.7Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[2] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, (Dan 7,21; Offb 11,7; Offb 12,17)8and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. (Apg 2,23; 1Petr 1,19; Offb 3,5; Offb 3,10; Offb 5,6)9If anyone has an ear, let him hear: (Offb 2,7)10If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints. (1Mo 9,6; Jes 33,1; Jer 15,2; Jer 43,11; Offb 14,12)
The Second Beast
11Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. (Offb 13,1; Offb 13,14; Offb 16,13)12It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,[3] and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. (Offb 13,3)13It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, (5Mo 13,1; 1Kön 18,38; 2Kön 1,10; 2Kön 1,12; Mt 24,24; Lk 9,54; 2Thess 2,9; Offb 16,14; Offb 19,20; Offb 20,9)14and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of[4] the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. (Offb 12,9; Offb 13,3; Offb 13,12)15And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. (Offb 14,9; Offb 14,11; Offb 16,2; Offb 16,6; Offb 19,20; Offb 20,4)16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[5] to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, (Gal 6,17; Offb 7,3)17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. (Offb 14,11; Offb 15,2)18This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.[6] (Offb 17,9; Offb 21,17)
Offenbarung 13
King James Version
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.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.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.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?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.6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.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.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.9If any man have an ear, let him hear.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.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.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.13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,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.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.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: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.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.

La bestia che sale dal mare
1Poi vidi salire dal mare una bestia che aveva dieci corna e sette teste, sulle corna dieci diademi e sulle teste nomi blasfemi.2La bestia che io vidi era simile a un leopardo; i suoi piedi erano come quelli dell’orso e la sua bocca come quella del leone. Il dragone le diede la sua potenza, il suo trono e una grande autorità.3Una delle sue teste sembrò ferita a morte, ma la sua piaga mortale fu guarita; e tutta la terra, meravigliata, andò dietro alla bestia.4E adorarono il dragone perché aveva dato il potere alla bestia, e adorarono la bestia dicendo: «Chi è simile alla bestia? e chi può combattere contro di lei?»5E le fu data una bocca che proferiva parole arroganti e bestemmie. E le fu dato potere di agire per quarantadue mesi.6Essa aprì la bocca per bestemmiare contro Dio, per bestemmiare il suo nome, il suo tabernacolo e quelli che abitano nel cielo.7Le fu dato di far guerra ai santi e di vincerli, e le fu dato di avere autorità sopra ogni tribù, popolo, lingua e nazione.8L’adoreranno tutti gli abitanti della terra il cui nome non è scritto fin dalla fondazione del mondo nel libro della vita dell’Agnello che è stato immolato.9Se uno ha orecchi, ascolti.10Se uno deve andare in prigionia, andrà in prigionia; se uno deve essere ucciso con la spada, bisogna che sia ucciso con la spada. Qui sta la costanza e la fede dei santi.
La bestia che sale dalla terra
11Poi vidi un’altra bestia, che saliva dalla terra, e aveva due corna simili a quelle di un agnello, ma parlava come un dragone.12Essa esercitava tutto il potere della prima bestia in sua presenza, e faceva sì che tutti gli abitanti della terra adorassero la prima bestia, la cui piaga mortale era stata guarita.13E operava grandi segni miracolosi sino a far scendere fuoco dal cielo sulla terra in presenza degli uomini.14E seduceva gli abitanti della terra con i segni miracolosi che le fu concesso di fare in presenza della bestia, dicendo agli abitanti della terra di erigere un’immagine della bestia che aveva ricevuto la ferita della spada ed era tornata in vita.15Le fu concesso di dare uno spirito all’immagine della bestia affinché l’immagine potesse parlare e far uccidere tutti quelli che non adorassero l’immagine della bestia.16Inoltre obbligò tutti, piccoli e grandi, ricchi e poveri, liberi e schiavi, a farsi mettere un marchio sulla mano destra o sulla fronte.17Nessuno poteva comprare o vendere se non portava il marchio, cioè il nome della bestia o il numero che corrisponde al suo nome.18Qui sta la sapienza. Chi ha intelligenza, calcoli il numero della bestia, perché è un numero d’uomo; e il suo numero è seicentosessantasei.
