Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea that had ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on his horns and blasphemous names on his heads.
2 ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲇⲁⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲣⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲛⲉⲓⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲣⲉⲣⲱϥ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲛⲡⲉϥⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ
The beast I saw was like a leopard; his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲟⲧⲃⲉⲥ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲡⲗⲩⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲥ ⲁⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲓⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ
One of the beast's heads appeared to be mortally wounded. But his mortal wound had been healed, and the whole world was amazed and followed the beast.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲙⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ̅ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
They worshiped the dragon that had given his authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against him?”
5 ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲉⲥϫⲉⲛⲟϭ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲛϩⲙⲉⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲧ̅
The beast was given a mouth to utter great boasts and blasphemy, and he was given authority to wage war for forty-two months.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⲉϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲕⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ
And he opened his mouth to utter blasphemy against God and to slander his name and his tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϫⲛⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲁⲥⲡⲉ ϩⲓϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ̅
He was permitted to wage war against the saints and conquer them, and he was given authority over every tribe, people, tongue, and nation.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⲥⲏϩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲟⲛⲥϥ̅ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ̅
All 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 was slain.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ̅ⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ
If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10 ⲓ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲁⲓⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲧⲓ̈ⲍⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϥⲓⲧϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲥⲓⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲱⲧⲃ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲟⲧⲃⲉϥ ϩⲛⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲧϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲙⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥϯⲥ̅ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
“If anyone has captivity as his lot, away he goes; if anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed.” This calls for the endurance and the faith of the saints.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙⲑⲁⲗⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲣⲉⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗϭⲉⲧⲉⲡⲗⲩⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ
He exercised all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and made the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲱⲥⲇⲉ ⲛϥⲧⲣⲉⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
He performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the presence of the people.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛϥⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲙⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲡⲗⲩⲅⲏ ⲛⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲱⲛϩ
By the signs he was permitted to do in the presence of the first beast, he deceived my own people who dwell on the earth, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image of the first beast, who had a wound from the sword but still lived.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϯⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲧϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲥⲙⲛⲧⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ
The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause whoever refused to worship the image to be killed.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲛⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲙⲛⲛϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲛⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲙⲛⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲧⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲏ ⲉϫⲛⲧⲉⲩⲧⲉϩⲛⲉ
The second beast required everyone, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲏ ⲉϯ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲏ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ
so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲉⲡⲧⲏⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲩϣⲉ ⲥⲉⲧⲁⲥⲉ
This calls for wisdom: Let anyone who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; his number is six hundred sixty-six.
