SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:1–10: The first beast rose from the sea

In this section, John saw a beast rise from the sea and described him. The dragon gave authority to this beast. The beast slandered God. The beast killed believers. Non-believers worshiped him.

If you followed option (2) for the textual issue at 12:17d, you should have this section heading before 12:17d.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The beast from the sea

The beast that blasphemed God

13:2a

The beast I saw was like a leopard,

The beast that I saw looked like a leopard,
The monster was like a fierce animal called a leopard.

The beast I saw was like a leopard: In some languages it may not be necessary to repeat the phrase I saw. For example:

This beast looked like a leopard. (NCV)

leopard: A leopard is a big cat like a jaguar, tiger, or panther, but smaller. It has tan skin with black spots. They are about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long, excluding the tail. They weigh between 40 and 70 kilograms (90–150 pounds). They eat other animals.

In some languages people are not familiar with leopards. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

Use the major language word for leopard and perhaps add a descriptive word or phrase. For example:
fierce leopard/jaguar
Describe a leopard. For example:
a fierce animal called a leopard
a spotted puma/panther/tiger
a large, fierce cat called a leopard But using the word “cat” should not imply that it is about the size of a house cat.

13:2b

with the feet of a bear

but its feet looked like the feet of a bear,
It had big, hairy paws with long claws similar to a bear.

with the feet of a bear: A bear’s foot is big and hairy with long claws.

In some languages people are not familiar with bears. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

Add a description of the feet. For example:
big, hairy feet with long claws like those of a bear
Describe the feet without referring to a bear. For example:
big, hairy feet with long claws Then you may want to indicate the literal words in a footnote, using the major language word for bear. For example:
Literally: “feet like bear’s feet.”
Literally: “feet like bear’s feet.” A bear’s foot is big and hairy with long claws.

feet: In some languages it is more natural to use a word that refers to the feet of animals. For example:

paws (NJB)

13:2c

and the mouth of a lion.

and its mouth looked like the mouth of a lion.
It had a large mouth with sharp teeth similar to a lion.

the mouth of a lion: A lion has a large mouth with sharp teeth. In some languages people are not familiar with lions. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

Add a description of the mouth. For example:
large mouth with sharp teeth like that of a lion
Describe the mouth without referring to a lion. For example:
large mouth with sharp teeth

You may want to explain the literal words in a footnote, using the major language word for lion. For example:

Literally: “a mouth like a lion’s mouth.”

Literally: “a mouth like a lion’s mouth.” A lion has a large mouth with sharp teeth.

13:2d

And the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.

The dragon gave his power, throne, and great authority to the beast.
The dragon permitted/caused the monster to have/use the same power that he had. He permitted/caused the monster to rule with the same great authority.

And the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority: The dragon shared his power, throne, and authority with the beast. For example:

The dragon gave the beast his own power, his throne, and his vast authority (GNT)

power: This word refers to the ability to do something. The dragon was strong and powerful. He caused the beast to become strong and powerful too.

throne: This word refers to the official chair of a king. When the king is seated on his throne, he rules over his people and his country. Therefore, the throne is a symbol for authority to rule. The dragon ruled as king, and he caused the beast to rule also. Other ways to translate this word are:

chair of ruling people

leader’s place to rule

See how you translated this word at 1:4.

authority: This word refers to having the right and power to control or rule over someone or something. Here the word is general. The dragon had the right and power to do as he wanted. He shared this right and power with the beast.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

παρδάλει & ἄρκου & λέοντος

˱to˲_˓a˒_leopard & ˱of˲_˓a˒_bear & ˱of˲_˓a˒_lion

A leopard is a large, fierce cat that lives in the jungle. A bear is a large, heavy, powerful mammal that can be very dangerous if it feels threatened. A lion is a large, fierce cat that often lives on the plains. If your readers would not be familiar with these animals, in your translation you could the names of comparable animals that they would recognize, or you could use general descriptions.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τό θηρίον ὅ εἶδον ἦν ὅμοιον παρδάλει καί οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὡς ἄρκου καί τό στόμα αὐτοῦ ὡς στόμα λέοντος Καί ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ δράκων τήν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ καί τόν θρόνον αὐτοῦ καί ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην)

John is referring to the dragon’s right to rule by association with the throne on which a ruler would sit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his power and his right to rule]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word throne tells what kind of power the dragon gave to this beast. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: [his ruling power] or [his power to rule]
