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.

¹Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

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.

²The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

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.

³One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast.

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?!

⁴They worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

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

⁵A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

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

⁶He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.

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.

⁷It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.

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

⁸All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

⁹Ak má niekto uši, nech počuje!

⁹If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

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

¹⁰If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. TR reads “If anyone leads into captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone will kill with the sword, he must be killed with a sword.” instead of “If anyone has captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is with the sword, he must be killed.” Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

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

¹¹I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.

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.

¹²He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

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

¹³He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.

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.

¹⁴He deceives my own NU omits “my own” people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

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.

¹⁵It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed.

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,

¹⁶He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads;

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

¹⁷and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.

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

¹⁸Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
