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.

¹ܘܩܡܬ ܥܠ ܚܠܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܘܚܙܝܬ ܕܤܠܩܐ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܝܡܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܥܤܪ ܩܪܢܢ ܘܫܒܥ ܩܪܩܦܢ ܘܥܠ ܩܪܢܬܗ ܥܤܪܐ ܬܐܓܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܩܪܩܦܬܗ ܫܡܐ ܕܓܘܕܦܐ ܀

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;

²ܘܚܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܢܡܪܐ ܘܪܓܠܝܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܕܒܐ ܘܦܘܡܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܚܝܠܗ ܘܟܘܪܤܝܗ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܀

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.

³ܘܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܩܪܩܦܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܦܥܝܥܬܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܡܚܘܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܗ ܐܬܐܤܝܬ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܬ ܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܒܬܪ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܀

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?

⁴ܘܤܓܕܘ ܠܬܢܝܢܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܘܤܓܕܘ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܕܕܡܐ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܩܪܒܘ ܥܡܗ ܀

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.

⁵ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܘܓܘܕܦܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܝܪܚܐ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܀

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.

⁶ܘܦܬܚܬ ܦܘܡܗ ܠܡܓܕܦܘ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܓܕܦܝ ܒܫܡܐ ܘܒܡܫܪܝܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

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;

⁷ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܩܪܒܐ ܥܡ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܠܡܙܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܫܢܐ ܘܥܡܡܐ ܀

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.

⁸ܘܢܤܓܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܟܬܝܒܝܢ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܩܛܝܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܬܪܡܝܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܀

⁹If any one has an ear, let him hear.

⁹ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܢܫܡܥ ܀

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.

¹⁰ܡܢ ܕܒܫܒܝܐ ܡܘܒܠ ܒܫܒܝܐ ܐܙܠ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܒܚܪܒܐ ܩܛܠ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܢܬܩܛܠ ܗܪܟܐ ܗܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܀

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

¹¹ܘܚܙܝܬ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܕܤܠܩܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܩܪܢܢ ܘܕܡܝܐ ܠܐܡܪܐ ܘܡܡܠܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܀

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.

¹²ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܟܠܗ ܬܥܒܕ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܬܥܒܕ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܢܤܓܕܘܢ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܚܠܡܬ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܗ ܀

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

¹³ܘܬܥܒܕ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܬܥܒܕ ܠܡܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀

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.

¹⁴ܘܬܛܥܐ ܠܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܒܝܕ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܩܕܡ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܨܠܡܐ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܕܚܪܒܐ ܘܚܝܬ ܀

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.

¹⁵ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܕܬܬܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܠܨܠܡܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܘܬܥܒܕ ܕܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܓܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܨܠܡܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܢܬܩܛܠܘܢ ܀

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;

¹⁶ܘܬܥܒܕ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܘܪܘܪܒܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܘܡܤܟܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܘܫܡܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܥܠ ܒܝܬ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܀

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.

¹⁷ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܙܒܢ ܐܘ ܢܙܒܢ ܬܘܒ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܘܫܡܐ ܕܫܡܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܀

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.

¹⁸ܗܪܟܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܗܘܢܐ ܢܚܫܒܝܘܗܝ ܠܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܫܬܡܐܐ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܘܫܬ ܀
