< Revelation 13 >

1 And I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and ten crowns on its horns, and on its heads names of slander,
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡϣⲱ ⲛⲑⲁⲗⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲑⲁⲗⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲛϭⲣⲏⲡⲉ ϩⲓϫⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲏϩ ⲉϫⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ
2 and the beast that I saw was like to a leopard, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲇⲁⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲣⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲛⲉⲓⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲣⲉⲣⲱϥ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲛⲡⲉϥⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ
3 And I saw one of its heads as slain to death, and its deadly wound was healed, and all the earth wondered after the beast,
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲟⲧⲃⲉⲥ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲡⲗⲩⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲥ ⲁⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲓⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ
4 and they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who [is] like to the beast? Who is able to war with it?”
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲙⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ̅ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
5 And there was given to it a mouth speaking great things, and slanders, and there was given to it authority to make war forty-two months,
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲉⲥϫⲉⲛⲟϭ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲛϩⲙⲉⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲧ̅
6 and it opened its mouth for slander toward God, to slander His Name, and of His dwelling place, and of those who dwell in Heaven,
ⲋ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⲉϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲕⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ
7 and there was given to it to make war with the holy ones, and to overcome them, and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and tongue, and nation.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϫⲛⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲁⲥⲡⲉ ϩⲓϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ̅
8 And all who are dwelling on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Scroll of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⲥⲏϩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲟⲛⲥϥ̅ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ̅
9 if anyone has an ear—let him hear:
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ̅ⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ
10 if anyone [goes] into captivity, into captivity he goes; if anyone is to be killed with sword, it is necessary of him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the holy ones.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲁⲓⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲧⲓ̈ⲍⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϥⲓⲧϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲥⲓⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲱⲧⲃ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲟⲧⲃⲉϥ ϩⲛⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲧϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲙⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥϯⲥ̅ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, and it was speaking as a dragon,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙⲑⲁⲗⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ
12 and all the authority of the first beast does it do before it, and it makes the earth and those dwelling in it that they will worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲣⲉⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗϭⲉⲧⲉⲡⲗⲩⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ
13 and it does great signs, that fire also it may make to come down from the sky to the earth before men,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲱⲥⲇⲉ ⲛϥⲧⲣⲉⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
14 and it leads astray those dwelling on the earth, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast that has the wound of the sword and lived,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛϥⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲙⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲡⲗⲩⲅⲏ ⲛⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲱⲛϩ
15 and there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that also the image of the beast may speak, and it may cause as many as will not worship the image of the beast, that they may be killed.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϯⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲧϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲥⲙⲛⲧⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ
16 And it makes all, the small, and the great, and the rich, and the poor, and the freemen, and the servants, that it may give to them a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲛⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲙⲛⲛϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲛⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲙⲛⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲧⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲏ ⲉϫⲛⲧⲉⲩⲧⲉϩⲛⲉ
17 and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲏ ⲉϯ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲏ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ
18 Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and its number: six hundred sixty-six.
