ܓܠܝܢܐ 13

1 ܘܩܡܬ ܥܠ ܚܠܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܘܚܙܝܬ ܕܤܠܩܐ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܝܡܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܥܤܪ ܩܪܢܢ ܘܫܒܥ ܩܪܩܦܢ ܘܥܠ ܩܪܢܬܗ ܥܤܪܐ ܬܐܓܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܩܪܩܦܬܗ ܫܡܐ ܕܓܘܕܦܐ

And he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast ascending from the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns were ten diadems, and upon its heads were names of blasphemy.

2 ܘܚܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܢܡܪܐ ܘܪܓܠܝܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܕܒܐ ܘܦܘܡܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܚܝܠܗ ܘܟܘܪܤܝܗ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܪܒܐ

And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, and its feet were like the feet of a bear, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave his own power and great authority to it.

3 ܘܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܩܪܩܦܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܦܥܝܥܬܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܡܚܘܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܗ ܐܬܐܤܝܬ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܬ ܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܒܬܪ ܚܝܘܬܐ

And I saw that one of its heads seemed to be slain unto death, but his deadly wound was healed. And the entire world was in wonder following the beast.

4 ܘܤܓܕܘ ܠܬܢܝܢܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܘܤܓܕܘ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܕܕܡܐ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܩܪܒܘ ܥܡܗ

And they worshiped the dragon, who gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying: “Who is like the beast? And who would be able to fight with it?”

5 ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܘܓܘܕܦܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܝܪܚܐ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ

And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies. And authority was given to him to act for forty-two months.

6 ܘܦܬܚܬ ܦܘܡܗ ܠܡܓܕܦܘ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܓܕܦܝ ܒܫܡܐ ܘܒܡܫܪܝܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ

And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven.

7 ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܩܪܒܐ ܥܡ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܠܡܙܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܫܢܐ ܘܥܡܡܐ

And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation.

8 ܘܢܤܓܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܟܬܝܒܝܢ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܩܛܝܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܬܪܡܝܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ

And all who inhabit the earth worshiped the beast, those whose names have not been written, from the origin of the world, in the Book of Life of the Lamb who was slain.

9 ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܢܫܡܥ

If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

10 ܡܢ ܕܒܫܒܝܐ ܡܘܒܠ ܒܫܒܝܐ ܐܙܠ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܒܚܪܒܐ ܩܛܠ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܢܬܩܛܠ ܗܪܟܐ ܗܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ

Whoever will be led into captivity, into captivity he goes. Whoever will kill with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the patient endurance and faith of the Saints.

11 ܘܚܙܝܬ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܕܤܠܩܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܩܪܢܢ ܘܕܡܝܐ ܠܐܡܪܐ ܘܡܡܠܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܝܢܐ

And I saw another beast ascending from the land. And she had two horns like the Lamb, but she was speaking like the dragon.

12 ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܟܠܗ ܬܥܒܕ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܬܥܒܕ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܢܤܓܕܘܢ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܚܠܡܬ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܗ

And she acted with all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And she caused the earth, and those dwelling in it, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 ܘܬܥܒܕ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܬܥܒܕ ܠܡܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ

And she accomplished great signs, even so that she would cause fire to descend from the sky to the earth in the sight of men.

14 ܘܬܛܥܐ ܠܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܒܝܕ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܩܕܡ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܨܠܡܐ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܕܚܪܒܐ ܘܚܝܬ

And she seduced those living on the earth, by means of the signs that were given to her to perform in the sight of the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth that they should make an image of the beast who had a wound of the sword and yet lived.

15 ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܕܬܬܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܠܨܠܡܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܘܬܥܒܕ ܕܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܓܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܨܠܡܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܢܬܩܛܠܘܢ

And it was given to her to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would speak. And she acted so that whoever would not worship the image of the beast would be slain.

16 ܘܬܥܒܕ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܘܪܘܪܒܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܘܡܤܟܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܘܫܡܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܥܠ ܒܝܬ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ

And she will cause everyone, small and great, wealthy and poor, free and servant, to have a character on their right hand or on their foreheads,

17 ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܙܒܢ ܐܘ ܢܙܒܢ ܬܘܒ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܘܫܡܐ ܕܫܡܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܫܡܗ

so that no one may buy or sell, unless he has the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 ܗܪܟܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܗܘܢܐ ܢܚܫܒܝܘܗܝ ܠܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܫܬܡܐܐ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܘܫܬ

Here is wisdom. Whoever has intelligence, let him determine the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
