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.

¹ Noonu ma gis génn ca géej ga, rab wu am fukki béjjén ak juróom-ñaari bopp. Ci kaw béjjénam ya amoon na fukki mbaxanay buur; ca bopp ya turi xarab Yàlla.

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.

² Rab wa ma gis ma nga mel ni segg, tànk ya mel ni yu rab wu ñuy wax urs, gémmiñ ga mel ni gu gaynde. Ninkinànka ja jox ko kàttanam, nguuram ak sañ-sañam bu réy.

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

³ Benn ca bopp ya mel ni dafa gaañu ba dee. Waaye gaañu-gaañu ba daldi wér. Waa àddina sépp yéemu, daldi topp rab wa.

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?”

⁴ Ñu jaamu ninkinànka ja ndax li mu joxoon sañ-sañ rab wa, di jaamu it rab wa, naan: «Rab wi amul moroom, kenn mënul a xeex ak moom.»

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

⁵ Noonu mayees ko mu am gémmiñ, muy jey boppam te di xarab turu Yàlla. Mayees ko it sañ-sañu jëf ci kaw suuf diirub ñeent-fukki weer ak ñaar.

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

⁶ Noonu mu tàmbalee xarab Yàlla, di xarab aw turam, dalam, ak ñi dëkk ci asamaan.

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.

⁷ Mayees ko, mu xare ak gaayi Yàlla yi te noot leen. Mayees ko it sañ-sañ ci kaw bépp giir, réew, kàllaama ak xeet.

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.

⁸ Waa àddina sépp dinañu ko jaamu, ñooñu ñu bindul seeni tur, li dale ci njàlbéenu àddina, ci téereb dund bu Mbote mi ñu rendi.

⁹If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

⁹ Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul.

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.

¹⁰ Ku Yàlla dogal,ñu war laa jàpp njaam,dinañu la jàpp njaam.Ku Yàlla dogal,ñu war laa rey ak jaasi,dinañu la rey ak jaasi. Looloo tax gaayi Yàlla yi war a muñ te takku.

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

¹¹ Noonu ma gis weneen rab di génn ci suuf. Am na ñaari béjjén yu mel ni yu mbote, waaye di wax ni ninkinànka.

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.

¹² Muy jëf ak sañ-sañu rab wu jëkk wa ci turam, di sant waa àddina sépp, ñu jaamu rab wu jëkk, woowu am gaañu-gaañu ba ko rey, waaye daldi wér.

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

¹³ Muy def kéemaan yu réy, ba dem sax bay wàcce ci kaw suuf safara su jóge asamaan, nit ñi di gis.

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.

¹⁴ Noonu mu nax waa àddina ci kéemaan, yi mu am sañ-sañu def ci turu rab wu jëkk wa. Mu sant waa àddina, ñu def nataalu rab, wi am gaañu-gaañub jaasi tey dund.

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.

¹⁵ Mayees ko it, mu dundloo nataalu rab wa, waxloo ko, ba képp ku jaamuwul nataalu rab wa rekk ñu rey la.

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;

¹⁶ Mu def it ba ñépp, mag ak ndaw, buur ak baadoolo, gor ak jaam, ñépp am màndarga ci seen loxol ndeyjoor walla ci seen jë,

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.

¹⁷ ba kenn du man a jënd mbaa mu jaay te amul màndargam rab wi, maanaam turam walla siifar bu mengoo ak turam.

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.

¹⁸ Lii nag mooy laaj xel: ku am xel dina man a waññ siifaru rab wi, ndaxte siifar boobu mengoo na ak bu nit, di juróom-benni téeméer ak juróom-benn-fukk ak juróom-benn.
