ἐλάλει ὡς δράκων
˱it˲_/was/_speaking like /a/_dragon
The point of this comparison is that this beast was speaking in a way that showed it was evil, like the dragon that is a symbol of evil in this book. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “it was speaking in a way that showed it was evil, like a dragon”
13:11 The beast is portrayed as a lamb, the same symbol used to represent Christ (see 5:6-13; 7:9-17; 14:1-4), but this lamb spoke like a dragon. The image is of a fraudulent messiah.
• The two horns might stand for two emperors, perhaps Nero and Domitian.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
