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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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?”

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

⁹ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܢܫܡܥ ܀

⁹If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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;

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

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.

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

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.
