Revelation 13
English Standard Version
The First Beast
13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, (A)with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and (B)blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was (C)like a leopard; its feet were like (D)a bear's, and its mouth was like (E)a lion's mouth. And to it (F)the dragon gave his power and (G)his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and (H)the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, (I)“Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
5 And the beast was given (J)a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for (K)forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[a] that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed (L)to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[b] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all (M)who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in (N)the book of life of (O)the Lamb (P)who was slain. 9 (Q)If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10 (R)If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
(S)if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.
(T)Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
The Second Beast
11 Then (U)I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,[c] and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, (V)whose mortal wound was healed. 13 (W)It performs great signs, even (X)making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of[d] the beast (Y)it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast (Z)that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And 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 (AA)worship the image of the beast (AB)to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[e] (AC)to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, (AD)the name of the beast or (AE)the number of its name. 18 (AF)This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number (AG)of a man, and his number is 666.[f]

Apocalipsis 13
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Dalawang Halimaw
13 At(A) nakita ko ang isang halimaw na umaahon sa dagat, may sampung sungay at pitong ulo, at sa kanyang mga sungay ay may sampung diadema, at sa kanyang mga ulo ay mga pangalan ng kalapastanganan.
2 At(B) ang halimaw na aking nakita ay katulad ng isang leopardo at ang kanyang mga paa ay gaya ng sa oso, at ang kanyang bibig ay gaya ng bibig ng leon. At ibinigay rito ng dragon ang kanyang kapangyarihan, ang kanyang trono, at dakilang kapamahalaan.
3 Ang isa sa mga ulo nito ay parang pinatay, ngunit ang sugat nito na ikamamatay ay gumaling, at ang buong lupa ay namamanghang sumunod sa halimaw.
4 Ang mga tao'y sumamba sa dragon sapagkat ibinigay niya ang kanyang kapangyarihan sa halimaw; at sinamba nila ang halimaw, na sinasabi, “Sino ang katulad ng halimaw at sinong makakalaban dito?”
5 Ang(C) halimaw ay binigyan ng isang bibig na nagsasalita ng mga palalong bagay at ng mga kalapastanganan, at pinahintulutan siyang gumamit ng kapangyarihan sa loob ng apatnapu't dalawang buwan.
6 Ibinuka niya ang kanyang bibig upang magsalita ng mga kalapastanganan sa Diyos, upang lapastanganin ang kanyang pangalan at ang kanyang tahanan gayundin ang mga naninirahan sa langit.
7 Ipinahintulot(D) din sa kanya na makipagdigma sa mga banal at sila'y lupigin. Binigyan siya ng kapangyarihan sa bawat angkan, bayan, wika at bansa,
8 at(E) ang lahat ng naninirahan sa lupa ay sasamba sa kanya, ang lahat na ang pangalan ay hindi nakasulat sa aklat ng buhay ng Kordero na pinaslang buhat nang itatag ang sanlibutan.
9 Kung ang sinuman ay may pandinig ay makinig:
10 Kung(F) ang sinuman ay patungo sa pagkabihag, sa pagkabihag siya patutungo. Kung ang sinuman ay pumapatay sa pamamagitan ng tabak, sa pamamagitan ng tabak siya dapat papatayin. Ito ay panawagan para sa pagtitiis at pananampalataya ng mga banal.
11 At nakita ko ang isa pang halimaw na umaahon sa lupa; at ito ay may dalawang sungay na katulad ng sa isang kordero at siya'y nagsasalita na parang dragon.
12 Kanyang ginagamit ang buong kapangyarihan ng unang halimaw na nasa kanyang paningin, at pinasasamba niya ang lupa at ang mga naninirahan dito sa unang halimaw na ang sugat na ikamamatay ay gumaling na.
13 Ito'y gumagawa ng mga dakilang tanda, pati na ang pagpapababa ng apoy sa lupa mula sa langit sa paningin ng mga tao.
14 At nadadaya nito ang mga naninirahan sa lupa dahil sa mga tanda na pinahintulutang gawin nito sa paningin ng halimaw, na sinasabi sa mga naninirahan sa lupa na dapat silang gumawa ng isang larawan ng halimaw na sinugatan ng tabak ngunit nabuhay.
15 At ito'y pinahintulutang makapagbigay ng hininga sa larawan ng halimaw upang ang larawan ng halimaw ay makapagsalita, at maipapatay naman ang lahat ng hindi sumasamba sa larawan ng halimaw.
16 At ang lahat, ang hamak at ang dakila, ang mayayaman at ang mga dukha, ang mga malaya at ang mga alipin ay pinalagyan nito ng isang tanda sa kanilang kanang kamay o sa noo,
17 upang walang sinumang makabili o makapagbili, maliban ang may tanda, samakatuwid, ng pangalan ng halimaw o ng bilang ng pangalan nito.
18 Kailangan dito ang karunungan: ang may pang-unawa ay bilangin ang bilang ng halimaw, sapagkat ito'y bilang ng isang tao. Ang bilang nito ay animnaraan at animnapu't anim.
Revelation 13
New King James Version
The Beast from the Sea
13 Then [a]I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw (A)a beast rising up out of the sea, (B)having [b]seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a (C)blasphemous name. 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 (D)dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads (E)as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And (F)all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, (G)“Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
5 And he was given (H)a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to [c]continue for (I)forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, (J)His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him (K)to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And (L)authority was given him over every [d]tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, (M)whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain (N)from the foundation of the world.
9 (O)If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 (P)He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; (Q)he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. (R)Here is the [e]patience and the faith of the saints.
The Beast from the Earth
11 Then I saw another beast (S)coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 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, (T)whose deadly wound was healed. 13 (U)He performs great signs, (V)so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 (W)And he deceives [f]those who dwell on the earth (X)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 (Y)and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak (Z)and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, (AA)to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has [g]the mark or (AB)the name of the beast, (AC)or the number of his name.
18 (AD)Here is wisdom. Let him who has (AE)understanding calculate (AF)the number of the beast, (AG)for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
