RV Revised Version with Apocrypha

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.

1 Y YO me paré sobre la arena del mar, y vi una bestia subir del mar, que tenía siete cabezas y diez cuernos; y sobre sus cuernos diez diademas; y sobre las cabezas de ella nombre de blasfemia.

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 throne, and great authority.

2 Y la bestia que vi, era semejante á un leopardo, y sus pies como de oso, y su boca como boca de león. Y el dragón le dió su poder, y su trono, y grande potestad.

3 And [I saw ]one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;

3 Y vi una de sus cabezas como herida de muerte, y la llaga de su muerte fué curada: y se maravilló toda la tierra en pos de la bestia.

4 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with him?

4 Y adoraron al dragón que había dado la potestad á la bestia, y adoraron á la bestia, diciendo: ¿Quién es semejante á la bestia, y quién podrá lidiar con ella?

5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months.

5 Y le fué dada boca que hablaba grandes cosas y blasfemias: y le fué dada potencia de obrar cuarenta y dos meses.

6 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, [even ]them that dwell in the heaven.

6 Y abrió su boca en blasfemias contra Dios, para blasfemar su nombre, y su tabernáculo, y á los que moran en el cielo.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

7 Y le fué dado hacer guerra contra los santos, y vencerlos. También le fué dada potencia sobre toda tribu y pueblo y lengua y gente.

8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, [every one ]whose name hath not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain from the foundation of the world.

8 Y todos los que moran en la tierra le adoraron, cuyos nombres no están escritos en el libro de la vida del Cordero, el cual fué muerto desde el principio del mundo.

9 If any man hath an ear, let him hear.

9 Si alguno tiene oído, oiga.

10 If any man [is ]for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

10 El que lleva en cautividad, va en cautividad: el que á cuchillo matare, es necesario que á cuchillo sea muerto. Aquí está la paciencia y la fe de los santos.

11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

11 Después vi otra bestia que subía de la tierra; y tenía dos cuernos semejantes á [los de] un cordero, mas hablaba como un dragón.

12 And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed.

12 Y ejerce todo el poder de la primera bestia en presencia de ella; y hace á la tierra y á los moradores de ella adorar la primera bestia, cuya llaga de muerte fué curada.

13 And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.

13 Y hace grandes señales, de tal manera que aun hace descender fuego del cielo á la tierra delante de los hombres.

14 And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him 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, who hath the stroke of the sword, and lived.

14 Y engaña á los moradores de la tierra por las señales que le ha sido dado hacer en presencia de la bestia, mandando á los moradores de la tierra que hagan la imagen de la bestia que tiene la herida de cuchillo, y vivió.

15 And it was given [unto him ]to give breath to it, [even ]to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

15 Y le fué dado que diese espíritu á la imagen de la bestia, para que la imagen de la bestia hable; y hará que cualesquiera que no adoraren la imagen de la bestia sean muertos.

16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead;

16 Y hacía que á todos, á los pequeños y grandes, ricos y pobres, libres y siervos, se pusiese una marca en su mano derecha, ó en sus frentes:

17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, [even ]the name of the beast or the number of his name.

17 Y que ninguno pudiese comprar ó vender, sino el que tuviera la señal, ó el nombre de la bestia, ó el número de su nombre.

18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.

18 Aquí hay sabiduría. El que tiene entendimiento, cuente el número de la bestia; porque es el número de hombre: y el número de ella, seiscientos sesenta y seis.

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.
