1 And 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. 2 And 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. 3 And 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. 4 And 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? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And 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. 8 And 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. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He 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. 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And 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. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And 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. 15 And 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. 16 And 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: 17 And 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. 18 Here 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.

1 我又看见一只兽从海里上来， 有十角七头， 十角上戴着十个皇冠， 七头上有亵渎的名号。

2 我所看见的兽， 样子好像豹， 脚像熊的脚， 口像狮子的口。龙把自己的能力、王位和大权柄， 都交给了它。

3 兽的七头中有一个似乎受了致命伤， 但那致命伤却医好了。全地的人都很惊奇， 跟从那兽。

4 因为龙把权柄交给了兽， 大家就拜龙， 也拜兽， 说： "有谁可以跟这兽相比？有谁能与它作战呢？"

5 龙又给了那兽一张说夸大和亵渎话的嘴巴， 也给了它权柄可以任意而行四十二个月。

6 兽就开口向 神说亵渎的话， 亵渎他的名和他的帐幕， 以及那些住在天上的。

7 它得了允许能跟圣徒作战， 并且能胜过他们； 又有权柄给了它， 可以管辖各支派、各民族、各方言、各邦国。

8 所有住在地上的人， 名字没有记在创世以来被杀的羊羔之生命册上的， 都要拜它。

9 凡有耳的， 就应当听！

10 如果人应该被俘掳， 就必被俘掳； 如果人应该被刀杀， 就必被刀杀。在这里圣徒要有忍耐和信心！

11 我又看见另一只兽从地里上来。它有两个角好像羊羔， 说话好像龙。

12 它在头一只兽面前， 行使头一只兽的一切权柄。它使全地和住在地上的人， 都拜那受过致命伤而医好了的头一只兽。

13 它又行大奇事， 甚至在人面前叫火从天上降在地上。

14 它得了能力， 在头一只兽面前能行奇事， 迷惑了住在地上的人， 吩咐住在地上的人， 要为那受过刀伤而还活着的兽做个像。

15 又有能力赐给它， 可以把气息给兽像， 使兽像能够说话， 并且能够杀害那些不拜兽像的人。

16 那从地里上来的兽， 又要所有的人， 无论大小贫富， 自由的和作奴隶的， 都在右手或额上， 给自己作个记号。

17 这记号就是兽的名字或兽名的数字， 除了那有记号的， 谁也不能买， 谁也不能卖。

18 在这里要有智慧。有悟性的人， 就让他计算兽的数字， 因为这是人的数字， 它的数字是六百六十六。
