Revelation 13 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Rev 13:1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw out of the sea a beast coming up, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads a name of evil speaking,
Rev 13:2and the beast that I saw was like to a leopard, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon did give to it his power, and his throne, and great authority.
Rev 13:3And I saw one of its heads as slain to death, and its deadly stroke was healed, and all the earth did wonder after the beast,
Rev 13:4and they did bow before the dragon who did give authority to the beast, and they did bow before the beast, saying, 'Who is like to the beast? who is able to war with it?'
Rev 13:5And there was given to it a mouth speaking great things, and evil-speakings, and there was given to it authority to make war forty-two months,
Rev 13:6and it did open its mouth for evil-speaking toward God, to speak evil of His name, and of His tabernacle, and of those who in the heaven tabernacle,
Rev 13:7and there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them, and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and tongue, and nation.
Rev 13:8And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;
Rev 13:9if any one hath an ear -- let him hear:
Rev 13:10if any one a captivity doth gather, into captivity he doth go away; if any one by sword doth kill, it behoveth him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

The Beast from the Earth

Rev 13:11And I saw another beast coming up out of the land, and it had two horns, like a lamb, and it was speaking as a dragon,
Rev 13:12and all the authority of the first beast doth it do before it, and it maketh the land and those dwelling in it that they shall bow before the first beast, whose deadly stroke was healed,
Rev 13:13and it doth great signs, that fire also it may make to come down from the heaven to the earth before men,
Rev 13:14and it leadeth astray those dwelling on the land, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling upon the land to make an image to the beast that hath the stroke of the sword and did live,
Rev 13:15and there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that also the image of the beast may speak, and that it may cause as many as shall not bow before the image of the beast, that they may be killed.
Rev 13:16And it maketh all, the small, and the great, and the rich, and the poor, and the freemen, and the servants, that it may give to them a mark upon their right hand or upon their foreheads,
Rev 13:17and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for the number of a man it is, and its number is 666.
