¹And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

¹A videl som vystupovať z mora šelmu, ktorá mala sedem hláv a desať rohov a na svojich rohoch mala desať diadémov a na svojich hlavách mená rúhania.

²And 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 seat, and great authority.

²A šelma, ktorú som videl, bola podobná pardovi, a jej nohy boly jako nohy medveďa a jej ústa jako ústa ľva. A drak jej dal svoju moc i svoj trón i veľkú právomoc.

³And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

³A videl som jednu z jej hláv ako doťatú na smrť, ale jej smrteľná rana bola uzdravená. A divila sa tomu celá zem hľadiac za šelmou.

⁴And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

⁴A klaňali sa drakovi, ktorý dal šelme takú moc, a klaňali sa i šelme a hovorili: Kto je podobný šelme, a kto môže bojovať s ňou?!

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

⁵A boly jej dané ústa, ktoré hovorily veľké veci a rúhania, a bola jej daná moc, aby trvala štyridsaťdva mesiacov.

⁶And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

⁶A otvorila svoje ústa rúhať sa proti Bohu, rúhať sa jeho menu a jeho stánu i tým, ktorí stánia na nebi.

⁷And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

⁷A dalo sa jej, aby bojovala so svätými a premohla ich. A dala sa jej moc nad každým pokolením a nad každým ľudom i jazykom i národom.

⁸And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

⁸A budú sa jej klaňať všetci, ktorí bývajú na zemi, ktorých mená nie sú napísané v knihe života Baránka, zabitého od založenia sveta.

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

⁹Ak má niekto uši, nech počuje!

¹⁰He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

¹⁰Ak vedie niekto do zajatia, pojde do zajatia; ak zabije niekto mečom, musí byť zabitý mečom. Tu je trpezlivosť a viera svätých.

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

¹¹A videl som inú šelmu, vystupujúcu zo zeme, ktorá mala dva rohy, podobné Baránkovým, ale hovorila jako drak.

¹²And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

¹²A vykonáva všetku moc prvej šelmy pred ňou a pôsobí, aby sa zem i tí, ktorí bývajú na nej, klaňali prvej šelme, ktorej to smrteľná rana bola uzdravená.

¹³And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

¹³A robí veľké divy, takže aj ohňu dáva sostupovať z neba na zem pred ľuďmi.

¹⁴And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power 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, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

¹⁴a zvodí tých, ktorí bývajú na zemi, pre divy, ktoré sú jej dané urobiť pred šelmou, a káže obyvateľom zeme, aby spravili obraz šelme, ktorá mala ranu od meča a ožila.

¹⁵And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

¹⁵A bolo jej dané, aby dala ducha obrazu šelmy, aby aj hovoril obraz šelmy, aj aby urobila to, aby všetci, ktorí by sa neklaňali obrazu šelmy, boli pobití.

¹⁶And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁶A pôsobí to, aby všetkým, malým i veľkým, bohatým i chudobným, slobodným i sluhom dali ryté znamenie na ich pravú ruku alebo na ich čelo,

¹⁷And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁷a aby nikto nemohol ani kúpiť ani predať iba ten, kto má znamenie alebo meno šelmy alebo počet jej mena.

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

¹⁸Tu je múdrosť. Kto má um, nech spočíta číslo šelmy, lebo je to číslo človeka. A jej číslo je šesťsto šesťdesiatšesť.
