Fakahā 13

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.

1PEA ne u tuʻu ʻi he ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, pea u mamata ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he tahi ʻae manu fekai, naʻe fitu hono ʻulu pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae nifo ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe ʻi hono ngaahi nifo ʻae pale ʻe hongofulu, pea ʻi hono ngaahi ʻulu ʻae hingoa ko Taukae ʻOtua.

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.

2Pea ko e manu fekai ʻaia ne u mamata ai, naʻe tatau mo e lēpati, pea ko hono vaʻe naʻe hangē ko e vaʻe ʻo ha pea, pea ko hono ngutu naʻe hangē ko e ngutu ʻo ha laione: pea naʻe ʻatu ki ai ʻe he fuʻu ngata ʻa ʻene mālohi ʻaʻana, mo hono nofoʻanga, mo e pule lahi.

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.

3Pea ne u mamata naʻe hangē kuo lavea ʻo mate hono foʻi ʻulu ʻe taha; ka naʻe toe moʻui pe hono lavea fakamate: pea naʻe fakatumutumu ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻo muimui ʻi he manu fekai.

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?”

4Pea naʻa nau hū ki he fuʻu ngata ʻaia ne ne ʻatu ʻae mālohi ki he manu fekai: ʻonau hū ki he manu fekai, ʻonau pehē, “Ko hai ʻoku tatau mo e manu fekai? Ko hai ʻoku faʻa fai ke tauʻi ia?”

5And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

5Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae ngutu ke lea fie lahi, mo taukae ki he ʻOtua; pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ke fai ʻa ʻetau ʻi he māhina ʻe fāngofulu ma ua,

6It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

6Pea ne faai hono ngutu ʻi he lea taukae ki he ʻOtua, ke lauʻikovi hono huafa, mo hono fale fehikitaki, mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he langi.

7Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation,

7Pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ke ne tauʻi ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ke ne ikuna ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ki he ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi lea, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.

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.

8Pea ʻe hū kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai tohi honau hingoa ʻi he tohi ʻoe moʻui ʻoe Lami, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi talu mei he fakatupu ʻo māmani.

9If anyone has an ear, let him hear:

9Kapau ʻoku telinga ha taha, pea fakafanongo ia.

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.

10Ko ia ʻoku ne tataki ki he pōpula, ʻe moʻua ia ki he pōpula: ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, ʻoku totonu ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ia ʻae heletā. Ko eni ʻae faʻa kātaki mo e tui ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni.

11Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

11Pea ne u mamata ki he manu fekai ʻe taha ʻoku ʻalu hake ʻi he fonua; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe ua, naʻe hangē ia ko e lami, pea naʻa ne lea ʻo hangē ha fuʻu ngata.

12It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

12Pea ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae pule kotoa pē ʻoe ʻuluaki manu fekai naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia, ʻo ne fai ke hū ʻa māmani mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai ki he ʻuluaki manu fekai, ʻi heʻene moʻui ʻa hono lavea. Naʻa ne mei mate ai.

13It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people,

13Pea ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo lahi, ʻo ne fai ke ʻalu hifo ʻae afi mei he langi ki he fonua, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai,

14and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of 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.

14Pea ne kākaaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ko ia naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae mālohi ke fai ʻi ʻi he heletā, kae moʻui pe.

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.

15Pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ke ne foaki ʻae moʻui ki he fakatātā ʻoe manu fekai, ke lea ai ʻae fakatātā ʻoe manu fekai, pea pule ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻikai te nau hū ki he fakatātā ʻoe manu fekai.

16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,

16Pea naʻa ne puleʻi kotoa pē, ʻae iiki mo e lalahi, ʻae maʻumeʻa mo e masiva, ʻae tauʻatāina mo e pōpula, ke nau maʻu ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻi honau nima toʻomataʻu, pe ʻi honau foʻi laʻē:

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.

17Pea ke ʻoua naʻa fakatau mai pe fakatau atu ʻe ha taha, ka ko ia pe kuo ʻi ai ʻae fakaʻilonga, pe ʻae hingoa ʻoe manu fekai, pe ko e lau ʻo hono hingoa.

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.

18Ko eni ʻae poto. Ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ʻilo, ke ne lau hono lau ʻoe manu fekai: he ko e lau ia ʻoe tangata; pea ko hono lau ko e onongeau ma onongofulu ma ono.
