Now I was standing on the seashore, and I saw a Beast of prey coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten diadems and on his heads blasphemous names.
2 ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ 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.
The beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth was like a lion's mouth. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲣϧⲟⲧ ϩⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϧⲟⲗϧⲉⲗ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲉⲣϧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲫⲁϧⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲥⲁⲫⲁϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ.
And one of his heads was as if it had been mortally wounded, but his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the Beast.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲱⲧⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ.
And they did obeisance to the dragon who had given the authority to the Beast, and they did obeisance to the Beast saying, “Who is like the Beast, and who is able to make war with him?”
And he was given a mouth speaking great things, that is, blasphemy; and he was given authority to make war forty-two months.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲕⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ.
So he opened that mouth of his in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, those who dwell in Heaven.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲱⲧⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϭⲣⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ ϯⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ϣⲗⲟⲗ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given him over every tribe and language and ethnic nation.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲙ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲓⲏ ⲃ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϧⲉⲗϧⲟⲗϥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
All who dwell on the earth will do obeisance to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slaughtered from the foundation of the world.
If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϣⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲥⲏϥⲓ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲥⲏϥⲓ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉ ϯϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲛⲓⲁⲧϥ.
If anyone has captivity, he goes away. If anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲕⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲏⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ.
Now I saw another beast of prey coming up out of the land, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ 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.
And he exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence; and he started to cause the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲣⲱⲙ ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
And he performs great signs, including that fire should come down from heaven upon the earth before the people.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ 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.
And he deceives my own people, those dwelling on the earth, by the signs that it was given to him to perform before the Beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the Beast who had the sword wound and lived.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϯ ⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲉϯϩⲩⲕⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉϥϩⲩⲕⲱⲛ.
And it was granted to him to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast should actually speak, and should cause as many as would not worship the image of the Beast to be killed.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲁⲙⲁⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲉⲙϩⲉⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲟⲗϩⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲟⲩⲧⲉϩⲛⲓ.
And he causes everyone—both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave—to receive marks on their right hand or on their foreheads,
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϣⲱⲗϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲓⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲧⲏⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ.
so that no one would be able to buy or sell who does not have the mark, the name of the Beast or the number of his name.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϥⲓⲱⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲏⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲏ ⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲧⲏⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉϥⲏⲡⲓ ⲭ̅ⲝ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛⲉ
Here is wisdom: let the one who has understanding evaluate the number of the Beast, for it is the number of man—his number is 666.
