1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names. 2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast. 4 They worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him. 6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him. 8 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 has been killed. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people. 14 He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived. 15 It was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands or on their foreheads; 17 and that no one would be able to buy or to sell unless he has that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.

1 Na i te tu ahau i te one o te moana. A ka kite ahau i tetahi kararehe e haere ake ana i te moana, e whitu ona mahunga, tekau nga haona, tekau hoki nga karauna i runga i ona haona, i runga ano i ona mahunga ko te ingoa kohukohu.

2 Rite tonu hoki te kararehe i kite ai ahau ki te reparo, ko ona waewae kei o te pea, ko tona mangai kei te mangai o te raiona; a ka hoatu e te tarakona tona kaha ki a ia, tona torona, me te mana nui.

3 I kite ano ahau i tetahi o ona matenga me te mea kua maru, he mea e mate rawa ai; heoi kua ora ia i tona patunga e mate ai ia: na kei te miharo te ao katoa i muri mai i te kararehe;

4 Na koropiko ana ratou ki te tarakona nana nei i hoatu te mana ki te kararehe: koropiko ana hoki ki te kararehe: i mea ratou, Ko wai te rite ana ki te kararehe? Ko wai te kaha ana ki te whawhai ki a ia?

5 A i hoatu ki a ia he mangai, e korero ana i nga korero nunui, i nga kohukohu; i hoatu hoki ki a ia he kaha, e mahi ai ia a taka noa nga marama e wha tekau ma rua.

6 A ka puaki i tona mangai he kohukohu ki te Atua, he kohukohu ki tona ingoa, ki tona nohoanga, ki te hunga hoki e noho ana i te rangi.

7 I tukua ano ki a ia kia whawhai ki te hunga tapu, kia taea hoki ratou e ia: i hoatu ano ki a ia he mana ki nga hapu katoa, ki nga reo, ki nga iwi.

8 A, ko te hunga katoa e noho ana i te whenua, ka koropiko ki a ia, nga tangata katoa kahore nei o ratou ingoa i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka ora a te Reme, no te timatanga iho ra ano o te ao tona whakamatenga.

9 Ki te mea he taringa to tetahi, kia rongo ia.

10 Ko te tangata hopu taurekareka, ka riro ano ia hei taurekareka: ko te tangata e patu ana ki te hoari, ka patua ano ia kite hoari. Ko tenei te manawanui me te whakapono o te hunga tapu.

11 I kite ano ahau i tetahi atu kararehe e haere ake ana i te whenua; e rua ona haona rite tonu ki o te reme, ko tana korero hoki i rite ki ta te tarakona.

12 Kei a ia no nga mana katoa o te kararehe tuatahi hei mahi ki tona aroaro, e mea ana hoki ia i te whenua me te hunga hoki e noho ana i reira kia koropiko ki te kararehe tuatahi, kua ora nei tona patunga e mate ai ia.

13 He nui hoki nga tohu e meatia ana e ia, e mea ana ia i te kapura kia heke iho i te rangi ki te whenua i te tirohanga a nga tangata.

14 E whakapohehe ana hoki ia i te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, ki nga tohu ka hoatu nei ki a ia kia mahia ki te aroaro o te kararehe; e mea ana ia ki te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, kia hanga he whakapakoko mo te kararehe i patua nei ki te hoari, a kua ora nei ano.

15 I hoatu ano ki a ia kia hoatu he wairua ora ki te whakapakoko o te kararehe, e korero ai te whakapakoko o te kararehe, e mea ai hoki i te hunga e kore e koropiko ki te whakapakoko o te kararehe kia whakamatea.

16 I mea ano hoki ia i te hunga katoa, i te iti, i te rahi, i te hunga whai taonga, i te hunga rawakore, i nga rangatira, i nga pononga, kia meatia ki a ratou he tohu ki o ratou ringaringa matau, ki o ratou rae ranei:

17 Kia kaua hoki tetahi e ahei te hoko mai te hoko atu ranei, ko te tangata anake kei a ia nei te tohu, te ingoa ranei o te kararehe, te whika ranei o tona ingoa.

18 Tenei te matauranga. Ma te tangata whai whakaaro e tatu te whika o te kararehe: he whika tangata hoki. Na, ko tona whika, E ono rau e ono tekau ma ono.
