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.

¹Ut li dragón quixakli chire li palau ut quicuil nak qui-el chak sa' li palau jun chic chanchan josk' aj xul cuan cuukub xjolom ut lajêb lix xucub. Ut sa' li lajêb chi xucub cuan junjûnk lix corona. Ut tz'îbanbil sa' eb lix jolom jun li c'aba'ej re xmajecuanquil li Kâcua'.

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.

²Li josk' aj xul li quicuil, a'an chanchan hix. Eb li rok chanchan rok li xul oso. Ut li ruch re chanchan ruch re li cakcoj. Ut li dragón quixq'ue lix cacuilal ut lix c'ojaribâl re li josk' aj xul. Ut quixq'ue ajcui' xcuanquil.

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

³Ut quicuil nak jun reheb lix jolom li josk' aj xul yoc'ol ut chanchan câmc re. Abanan quiq'uira. Sachso xch'ôleb li tenamit que'cana chirilbal nak quiq'uira. Ut que'xtâke li josk' aj xul.

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?”

⁴Ut que'xq'ue xlok'al li dragón xban nak quixq'ue xcuanquil li josk' aj xul. Ut que'xlok'oni ajcui' li josk' aj xul ut que'xye: -¿Ani ta cui' cuan xcuanquil jo' li josk' aj xul a'in? Mâ ani tixcuy pletic riq'uin a'an xban nak quiq'uehe' xcuanquil xban li dragón, chanqueb.

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

⁵Ut quiq'uehe' xcuanquil li josk' aj xul chi âtinac ut chixbânunquil li c'a'ru târaj. K'axal k'etk'et li xul ut yô chixmajecuanquil li Dios. Sachba ch'ôlej quixbânu chiru oxib chihab riq'uin cuakib po.

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

⁶Ut li josk' aj xul quixmajecua li Dios ut quixmajecua ajcui' lix santil na'aj. Ut quixmajecua li cuanqueb sa' choxa.

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.

⁷Quiq'uehe' xcuanquil chi pletic riq'uineb li ralal xc'ajol li Dios ut quinumta sa' xbêneb. Quiq'uehe' xcuanquil sa' xbêneb chixjunileb, a' yal ani xtêpaleb lix xe'tônil yucua'eb, ut a' yal bar xtenamiteb ut a' yal chanru li râtinobâleb.

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.

⁸Ut chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och' te'xlok'oni ru li josk' aj xul a'an. Te'xlok'oni li xul chixjunileb li inc'a' tz'îbanbileb xc'aba' sa' li hu li tz'îbanbil cui' xc'aba'eb li cuanqueb xyu'am chi junelic, li cuan riq'uin li Jun li chanchan carner, li ac xakabanbil chak re camsîc sa' xticlajic li ruchich'och'.

⁹If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

⁹Li ani târaj xtaubal ru lix yâlal, chixq'uehak retal a'in:

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.

¹⁰Li ani tento tâxic chi prêxil, xicak chi prêxil. Ut li ani tento tâcamsîk riq'uin ch'îch', chicamsîk riq'uin ch'îch'. Jo'can nak cauhakeb taxak xch'ôleb li ralal xc'ajol li Dios. Te'xcuy taxak xnumsinquil li raylal ut inc'a' ta chich'inânk xch'ôleb.

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

¹¹Ut chirix a'an quicuil jun chic li josk' aj xul qui-el chak sa' ch'och'. Cuan cuib lix coc' xucub chanchan lix xucub li carner. Ut naâtinac jo' naâtinac li dragón.

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.

¹²Li xul a'an cuan xcuanquil jo' li josk' aj xul li quiyoq'ue' jun xjolom ut quicam raj abanan quiq'uira. Ut chiru ajcui' a'an naxmin ruheb chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och' re nak te'xlok'oni li josk' aj xul.

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

¹³Li xcab josk' aj xul quixbânu sachba ch'ôlej. Naxcubsi chak xam sa' choxa toj sa' ruchich'och' yal re nak eb li cristian te'ril.

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.

¹⁴Quixbalak'iheb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och' riq'uin li sachba ch'ôlej li quiq'uehe' re xbânunquil chiru li josk' aj xul. Ut quixye reheb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och' nak te'xyîb jun xjalam ûch li josk' aj xul li quiyoq'ue' riq'uin ch'îch' ut quiq'uira.

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.

¹⁵Ut li xcab xul quiq'uehe' xcuanquil re nak tixq'ue xmusik' lix jalam ûch li xbên josk' aj xul re tââtinak ut tixq'ue chi câmc li ani inc'a' tâq'uehok xlok'al.

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;

¹⁶Quixpuersi ruheb chixjunileb re nak te'xc'ul li retalileb sa' lix nim uk' malaj sa' xpêquemeb. Que'q'uehe' retalileb chixjunileb li cuanqueb xcuanquil jo' ajcui' li mâc'a'eb xcuanquil, eb li biom jo' eb ajcui' li neba', eb li lok'bil môs jo' ajcui' li mâc'a'eb xpatrón.

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.

¹⁷Cui mâc'a' li retalileb sa' xnim uk' malaj sa' xpêquemeb, inc'a' târûk te'lok'ok chi moco târûk te'c'ayînk. Li retalil li te'q'uehek', a'an xc'aba' li josk' aj xul. Lix c'aba' a'an, a'an ajcui' jun li número.A'in naraj nak cuânk xna'leb li ani tâilok re. Li ani cuan xna'leb naru tixsic' c'a'ru xyâlal. Naru târajla lix letril lix c'aba' li josk' aj xul ut tâêlk lix número jun li cuînk. Li número a'an cuakib ciento riq'uin cuakib xcâc'âl.

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.

¹⁸A'in naraj nak cuânk xna'leb li ani tâilok re. Li ani cuan xna'leb naru tixsic' c'a'ru xyâlal. Naru târajla lix letril lix c'aba' li josk' aj xul ut tâêlk lix número jun li cuînk. Li número a'an cuakib ciento riq'uin cuakib xcâc'âl.
