1ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϣⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲓ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲧⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲁⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
1Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲇⲁⲗⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁ ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲃⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲣⲱϥ ⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϫⲟⲙ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ.
2The beast I saw was like a leopard, with the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲣϧⲟⲧ ϩⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϧⲟⲗϧⲉⲗ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲉⲣϧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲫⲁϧⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲥⲁⲫⲁϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ.
3One of the heads of the beast appeared to be mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast.
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲱⲧⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ.
4They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?”
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϯ ⲣⲱϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲱ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϯⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲱⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲙ̅ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲃⲟⲧ.
5The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months.
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲕⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ.
6And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven.
7ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲱⲧⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϭⲣⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ ϯⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ϣⲗⲟⲗ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
7Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
8ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲙ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲓⲏ ⲃ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϧⲉⲗϧⲟⲗϥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
8And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.
9ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲙⲁϣϫ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ.
9He who has an ear, let him hear:
10ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϣⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲥⲏϥⲓ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲥⲏϥⲓ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉ ϯϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲛⲓⲁⲧϥ.
10“If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he will go; if anyone is to die by the sword, by the sword he must be killed.” Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.
11ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲕⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲏⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ.
11Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon.
12ⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϩⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⳿ⲛⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ.
12And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
13ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲣⲱⲙ ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
13And the second beast performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people.
14ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲣⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲑⲁⲙⲓ⳿ⲉ ϩⲩⲕⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲉⲣϧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲥⲏϥⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲱⲛϧ.
14Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived.
15ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϯ ⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲉϯϩⲩⲕⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉϥϩⲩⲕⲱⲛ.
15The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed.
16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲁⲙⲁⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲉⲙϩⲉⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲟⲗϩⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲟⲩⲧⲉϩⲛⲓ.
16And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
17ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϣⲱⲗϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲓⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲧⲏⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ.
17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18ϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϥⲓⲱⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲏⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲏ ⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲧⲏⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉϥⲏⲡⲓ ⲭ̅ⲝ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛⲉ
18Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.
