SMITH VAN DYKENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ثم وقفت على رمل البحر. فرأيت وحشا طالعا من البحر له سبعة رؤوس وعشرة قرون وعلى قرونه عشرة تيجان وعلى رؤوسه اسم تجديف.1 Then I saw a beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous name (s).
2 والوحش الذي رأيته كان شبه نمر وقوائمه كقوائم دب وفمه كفم اسد واعطاه التنين قدرته وعرشه وسلطانا عظيما.2 The beast I saw was like a leopard, but it had feet like a bear's, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. To it the dragon gave its own power and throne, along with great authority.
3 ورأيت واحدا من رؤوسه كانه مذبوح للموت وجرحه المميت قد شفي وتعجبت كل الارض وراء الوحش3 I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast.
4 وسجدوا للتنين الذي اعطى السلطان للوحش وسجدوا للوحش قائلين من هو مثل الوحش. من يستطيع ان يحاربه.4 They worshiped the dragon because it gave its authority to the beast; they also worshiped the beast and said, "Who can compare with the beast or who can fight against it?"
5 وأعطي فما يتكلم بعظائم وتجاديف وأعطي سلطانا ان يفعل اثنين واربعين شهرا.5 The beast was given a mouth uttering proud boasts and blasphemies, and it was given authority to act for forty-two months.
6 ففتح فمه بالتجديف على الله ليجدف على اسمه وعلى مسكنه وعلى الساكنين في السماء.6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling and those who dwell in heaven.
7 وأعطي ان يصنع حربا مع القديسين ويغلبهم وأعطي سلطانا على كل قبيلة ولسان وامّة.7 It was also allowed to wage war against the holy ones and conquer them, and it was granted authority over every tribe, people, tongue, and nation.
8 فسيسجد له جميع الساكنين على الارض الذين ليست اسماؤهم مكتوبة منذ تأسيس العالم في سفر حياة الخروف الذي ذبح.8 All the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, all whose names were not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life, which belongs to the Lamb who was slain.
9 من له اذن فليسمع.9 Whoever has ears ought to hear these words.
10 ان كان احد يجمع سبيا فالى السبي يذهب. وان كان احد يقتل بالسيف فينبغي ان يقتل بالسيف. هنا صبر القديسين وايمانهم10 Anyone destined for captivity goes into captivity. Anyone destined to be slain by the sword shall be slain by the sword. Such is the faithful endurance of the holy ones.
11 ثم رأيت وحشا آخر طالعا من الارض وكان له قرنان شبه خروف وكان يتكلم كتنين.11 Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb's but spoke like a dragon.
12 ويعمل بكل سلطان الوحش الاول امامه ويجعل الارض والساكنين فيها يسجدون للوحش الاول الذي شفي جرحه المميت.12 It wielded all the authority of the first beast in its sight and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
13 ويصنع آيات عظيمة حتى انه يجعل نارا تنزل من السماء على الارض قدام الناس.13 It performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of everyone.
14 ويضل الساكنين على الارض بالآيات التي أعطي ان يصنعها امام الوحش قائلا للساكنين على الارض ان يصنعوا صورة للوحش الذي كان به جرح السيف وعاش.14 It deceived the inhabitants of the earth with the signs it was allowed to perform in the sight of the first beast, telling them to make an image for the beast who had been wounded by the sword and revived.
15 وأعطي ان يعطي روحا لصورة الوحش حتى تتكلم صورة الوحش ويجعل جميع الذين لا يسجدون لصورة الوحش يقتلون.15 It was then permitted to breathe life into the beast's image, so that the beast's image could speak and (could) have anyone who did not worship it put to death.
16 ويجعل الجميع الصغار والكبار والاغنياء والفقراء والاحرار والعبيد تصنع لهم سمة على يدهم اليمنى او على جبهتهم16 It forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a stamped image on their right hands or their foreheads,
17 وان لا يقدر احد ان يشتري او يبيع الا من له السمة او اسم الوحش او عدد اسمه.17 so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beast's name or the number that stood for its name.
18 هنا الحكمة. من له فهم فليحسب عدد الوحش فانه عدد انسان. وعدده ست مئة وستة وستون18 Wisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.
