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.

¹In postavi se na pesku morskem. In videl sem iz morja zver vzhajajočo, ki je imela deset rogov in sedem glav, in na rogovih njenih deset diademov in na glavah njenih imena preklinjevanja.

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.

²In zver, ki sem jo videl, je bila podobna pardalu, in noge njene kakor medvedove in usta njena kakor usta levova. In dal ji je zmaj moč svojo in prestol svoj in oblast veliko.

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

³In videl sem eno izmed glav njenih kakor zaklano na smrt. In njena smrtna rana se je zacelila, in vsa zemlja se je čudila zadaj za zverjo;

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?”

⁴in molili so zmaja, ker je bil dal oblast zveri, in molili so zver, govoreč: Kdo je zveri enak? In kdo se more vojskovati ž njo?

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

⁵In dana so ji usta, govoreča stvari velike in preklinjevanja, in dana ji je bila oblast, da deluje štirideset mesecev in dva.

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

⁶In odprla je usta svoja v preklinjanje proti Bogu, preklinjajoča ime njegovo in šator njegov in nje, ki stanujejo v nebesih.

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.

⁷In dano ji je bilo napraviti vojsko s svetimi in jih premagati; in dana ji je oblast nad vsakim rodom in ljudstvom in jezikom in narodom.

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.

⁸In molili jo bodo vsi, ki prebivajo na zemlji, vsak, čigar ime ni zapisano v knjigi življenja Jagnjeta zaklanega od ustanovitve sveta.

⁹If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

⁹Če ima kdo uho, naj sliši.

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.

¹⁰Če kdo v robstvo vodi, v robstvo hodi. Če bo kdo z mečem moril, mora umorjen biti z mečem. Tukaj je stanovitnost in vera svetnikov.

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

¹¹In videl sem drugo zver vzhajajočo iz zemlje, in imela je dva rogova, kakor jagnje, a govorila je kakor zmaj.

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.

¹²In vso oblast prve zveri izvršuje pred njo. In dela, da zemlja in prebivalci njeni molijo prvo zver, ki se ji je bila zacelila rana smrti njene.

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

¹³In dela znamenja velika, da napravi tudi, da šviga ogenj z neba na zemljo pred ljudmi.

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.

¹⁴In zapeljava prebivalce na zemlji z znamenji, katera ji je bilo dano delati pred zverjo, rekoč prebivalcem na zemlji, naj narede podobo zveri, ki je imela rano od meča in je oživela.

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.

¹⁵In dano ji je bilo vdihniti duha podobi zveri, da tudi govori podoba zveri in stori, da bodo pomorjeni, katerikoli ne molijo podobe zveri.

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;

¹⁶In stori, da si dado vsi, mali in veliki, bogati in ubogi, svobodni in hlapci, znamenje na desno roko ali na čelo,

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.

¹⁷in da nihče ne more kupovati ali prodajati, razen kdor ima znamenje, ime zveri ali število imena njenega.Tukaj je modrost. Kdor ima razum, naj izračuni število zveri; je namreč število človeka. In število njegovo je šeststo šestdeset in šest.

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.

¹⁸Tukaj je modrost. Kdor ima razum, naj izračuni število zveri; je namreč število človeka. In število njegovo je šeststo šestdeset in šest.
