¹ثم وقفت على رمل البحر. فرأيت وحشا طالعا من البحر له سبعة رؤوس وعشرة قرون وعلى قرونه عشرة تيجان وعلى رؤوسه اسم تجديف.

¹And I stood upon the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads names of blasphemy.

²والوحش الذي رأيته كان شبه نمر وقوائمه كقوائم دب وفمه كفم اسد واعطاه التنين قدرته وعرشه وسلطانا عظيما.

²And the beast which I saw was like to a leopardess, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth; and the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority;

³ورأيت واحدا من رؤوسه كانه مذبوح للموت وجرحه المميت قد شفي وتعجبت كل الارض وراء الوحش

³and one of his heads [was] as slain to death, and his wound of death had been healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast.

⁴وسجدوا للتنين الذي اعطى السلطان للوحش وسجدوا للوحش قائلين من هو مثل الوحش. من يستطيع ان يحاربه.

⁴And they did homage to the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and they did homage to the beast, saying, Who [is] like to the beast? and who can make war with it?

⁵وأعطي فما يتكلم بعظائم وتجاديف وأعطي سلطانا ان يفعل اثنين واربعين شهرا.

⁵And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to it authority to pursue its career forty-two months.

⁶ففتح فمه بالتجديف على الله ليجدف على اسمه وعلى مسكنه وعلى الساكنين في السماء.

⁶And it opened its mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and those who have their tabernacle in the heaven.

⁷وأعطي ان يصنع حربا مع القديسين ويغلبهم وأعطي سلطانا على كل قبيلة ولسان وامّة.

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

⁸فسيسجد له جميع الساكنين على الارض الذين ليست اسماؤهم مكتوبة منذ تأسيس العالم في سفر حياة الخروف الذي ذبح.

⁸and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage, [every one] whose name had not been written from [the] founding of [the] world in the book of life of the slain Lamb.

⁹من له اذن فليسمع.

⁹If any one has an ear, let him hear.

¹⁰ان كان احد يجمع سبيا فالى السبي يذهب. وان كان احد يقتل بالسيف فينبغي ان يقتل بالسيف. هنا صبر القديسين وايمانهم

¹⁰If any one [leads] into captivity, he goes into captivity. If any one shall kill with [the] sword, he must with [the] sword be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

¹¹ثم رأيت وحشا آخر طالعا من الارض وكان له قرنان شبه خروف وكان يتكلم كتنين.

¹¹And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and it had two horns like to a lamb, and spake as a dragon;

¹²ويعمل بكل سلطان الوحش الاول امامه ويجعل الارض والساكنين فيها يسجدون للوحش الاول الذي شفي جرحه المميت.

¹²and it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it, and causes the earth and those that dwell in it to do homage to the first beast, whose wound of death was healed.

¹³ويصنع آيات عظيمة حتى انه يجعل نارا تنزل من السماء على الارض قدام الناس.

¹³And it works great signs, that it should cause even fire to come down from heaven to the earth before men.

¹⁴ويضل الساكنين على الارض بالآيات التي أعطي ان يصنعها امام الوحش قائلا للساكنين على الارض ان يصنعوا صورة للوحش الذي كان به جرح السيف وعاش.

¹⁴And it deceives those that dwell upon the earth by reason of the signs which it was given to it to work before the beast, saying to those that dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, which has the wound of the sword, and lived.

¹⁵وأعطي ان يعطي روحا لصورة الوحش حتى تتكلم صورة الوحش ويجعل جميع الذين لا يسجدون لصورة الوحش يقتلون.

¹⁵And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should also speak, and should cause that as many as should not do homage to the image of the beast should be killed.

¹⁶ويجعل الجميع الصغار والكبار والاغنياء والفقراء والاحرار والعبيد تصنع لهم سمة على يدهم اليمنى او على جبهتهم

¹⁶And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead;

¹⁷وان لا يقدر احد ان يشتري او يبيع الا من له السمة او اسم الوحش او عدد اسمه.

¹⁷and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name.

¹⁸هنا الحكمة. من له فهم فليحسب عدد الوحش فانه عدد انسان. وعدده ست مئة وستة وستون

¹⁸Here is wisdom. He that has understanding let him count the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and its number [is] six hundred [and] sixty-six.
