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

Then I saw rising up out of the sea a beast who had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns he had ten diadems, and on his heads blasphemous titles.

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

The beast I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were bear’s feet, and his mouth a lion’s mouth. The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.

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

And I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth was following the beast, wondering.

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

Men worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying. "Who is like the beast? Who can fight with him?"

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

And he was permitted to utter loud boasts and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty-two months.

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

So he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle (those who live in his tabernacle in heaven).

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

The beast was allowed to wage war upon the saints, and to conquer them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation;

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

and each one whose name has not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who has been slain from the foundation of the world. All who dwell on the earth shall worship him.

9 ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܢܫܡܥ

Let him who has ears to hear, listen.

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

Whoever is destined to go into captivity, goes into captivity. Whoever shall kill with the sword, shall surely be killed by the sword. (Here is the 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 he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon;

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

and he exerts the full authority of the first beast before him, and he makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast whose death-stroke was healed.

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

And he performs great miracles, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from the sky, before men’s eyes.

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 he deceives those who dwell on the earth, because of the miracles, which he is permitted to perform in the sight of the beast. He tells those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the sword-stroke, yet lived.

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

And he was permitted to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak; and so that any one who would not worship the image of the beast should be put to death.

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

And he makes all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a brand put upon their right hands or upon their brows,

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

so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the brand 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. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.
