WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Y el dragón se paró a la orilla del mar. Vi entonces que una bestia surgía de las aguas del mar. Tenía siete cabezas, diez cuernos y diez coronas sobre sus cuernos. Y en cada una de las cabezas tenía escritos nombres que insultaban a Dios.

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

2 Parecía un leopardo, pero tenía pies de oso y boca de león. El dragón le entregó a la bestia el poder, el trono y la gran autoridad que poseía.

2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

3 Una de las cabezas de la bestia parecía herida de muerte, pero sanó. El mundo, maravillado de semejante milagro, siguió a la bestia.

3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast.

4 Adoraron al dragón, que le había dado el poder a la bestia, y asimismo adoraron a la bestia. «¿Quién como la bestia?» —exclamaron—. «¿Quién podrá pelear contra ella?».

4 They worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

5 A la bestia se le permitió que dijera blasfemias contra el Señor; y también se le dio autoridad para actuar por cuarenta y dos meses,

5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

6 durante los cuales blasfemó contra el nombre de Dios, de su morada y de los que habitan en el cielo.

6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.

7 La bestia también recibió poder para pelear contra el pueblo de Dios y vencerlo, y se le dio autoridad para gobernar a todas las naciones de este mundo.

7 It was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.

8 Y la adoraron todos los seres humanos cuyos nombres no estaban inscritos, desde la creación del mundo, en el libro del Cordero que fue sacrificado.

8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

9 El que tenga oídos, escuche bien:

9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

10 El que deba ir preso, caerá preso; el que deba morir a espada, morirá a filo de espada. Aquí se verá la paciencia y la fidelidad del pueblo santo.

10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

11 A continuación vi que otra bestia surgía de la tierra con dos cuernos semejantes a los de un cordero, pero con una voz como la del dragón.

11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

12 Poseía la misma autoridad de la primera bestia en presencia de esta, y exigió que el mundo entero adorara a la primera bestia, que había sido sanada.

12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

13 Los milagros que realizaba eran increíbles; podía, por ejemplo, hacer que cayeran del cielo llamaradas de fuego ante los ojos asombrados de la humanidad.

13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.

14 Y con los milagros que podía realizar en presencia de la primera bestia, engañó a la humanidad y ordenó que esculpieran una estatua de la primera bestia que había estado herida y revivió.

14 He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

15 Luego se le permitió transmitir vida a la estatua y hacerla hablar. Entonces la estatua ordenó que mataran a cualquiera que se negara a adorarla,

15 It was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16 y que pusieran una marca en la mano derecha o en la frente de los habitantes de la tierra, ya fueran grandes o pequeños, ricos, o pobres, libres o esclavos.

16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands or on their foreheads;

17 Nadie podía comprar ni vender si no tenía aquella marca, que consistía en el nombre de la bestia o en el número de su nombre.

17 and that no one would be able to buy or to sell unless he has that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 Aquí se debe usar la sabiduría: Dicho número, que es el de un ser humano, es seiscientos sesenta y seis.

18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 13:2 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapters XXVII–XXVIII)
Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints." After this he likewise describes his armour-bearer, whom he also terms a false prophet: "He spake as a dragon, and exercised all the power of the first beast in his sight, and caused the earth, and those that dwell therein, to adore the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Quotes verse 13:8 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXIX)
"There shall give consent to him all they that have not been written in the book of life." So then without doubt they will not consent that have been written.
