PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 ثُمَّ وَقَفْتُ عَلَى رَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، فَرَأَيْتُ وَحْشًا طَالِعًا مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ وَعَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ، وَعَلَى قُرُونِهِ عَشَرَةُ تِيجَانٍ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِ ٱسْمُ تَجْدِيفٍ.
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.
1 Καὶ ἐστάθην ἐπὶ τὴν ἄμμον τῆς θαλάσσης· καὶ εἶδον ἐκ τῆς θαλάσσης θηρίον ἀναβαῖνον, ἔχον κέρατα δέκα καὶ κεφαλὰς ἑπτά, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κεράτων αὐτοῦ δέκα διαδήματα, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτοῦ ὀνόματα βλασφημίας.
2 وَٱلْوَحْشُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ كَانَ شِبْهَ نَمِرٍ، وَقَوَائِمُهُ كَقَوَائِمِ دُبٍّ، وَفَمُهُ كَفَمِ أَسَدٍ. وَأَعْطَاهُ ٱلتِّنِّينُ قُدْرَتَهُ وَعَرْشَهُ وَسُلْطَانًا عَظِيمًا.
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.
2 καὶ τὸ θηρίον ὃ εἶδον ἦν ὅμοιον παρδάλει, καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὡς ἄρκου, καὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ὡς στόμα λέοντος. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ δράκων τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην· —
3 وَرَأَيْتُ وَاحِدًا مِنْ رُؤُوسِهِ كَأَنَّهُ مَذْبُوحٌ لِلْمَوْتِ، وَجُرْحُهُ ٱلْمُمِيتُ قَدْ شُفِيَ. وَتَعَجَّبَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْوَحْشِ،
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.
3 καὶ μίαν ἐκ τῶν κεφαλῶν αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐσφαγμένην εἰς θάνατον. καὶ ἡ πληγὴ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ ἐθεραπεύθη, καὶ ἐθαύμασεν ὅλη ἡ γῆ ὀπίσω τοῦ θηρίου,
4 وَسَجَدُوا لِلتِّنِّينِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَى ٱلسُّلْطَانَ لِلْوَحْشِ، وَسَجَدُوا لِلْوَحْشِ قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلُ ٱلْوَحْشِ؟ مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُحَارِبَهُ؟».
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?”
4 καὶ προσεκύνησαν τῷ δράκοντι τῷ δεδωκότι τὴν ἐξουσίαν τῷ θηρίῳ, καὶ προσεκύνησαν τῷ θηρίῳ λέγοντες· τίς ὅμοιος τῷ θηρίῳ; τίς δύναται πολεμῆσαι μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ;
5 وَأُعْطِيَ فَمًا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِعَظَائِمَ وَتَجَادِيفَ، وَأُعْطِيَ سُلْطَانًا أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ شَهْرًا.
5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.
5 καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ στόμα λαλοῦν μεγάλα καὶ βλασφημίαν· καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία πόλεμον ποιῆσαι μῆνας τεσσαράκοντα δύο.
6 فَفَتَحَ فَمَهُ بِٱلتَّجْدِيفِ عَلَى ٱللهِ، لِيُجَدِّفَ عَلَى ٱسْمِهِ، وَعَلَى مَسْكَنِهِ، وَعَلَى ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ.
6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.
6 καὶ ἤνοιξε τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ εἰς βλασφημίαν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, βλασφημῆσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, τοὺς ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ σκηνοῦντας.
7 وَأُعْطِيَ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ حَرْبًا مَعَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَيَغْلِبَهُمْ، وَأُعْطِيَ سُلْطَانًا عَلَى كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ وَلِسَانٍ وَأُمَّةٍ.
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.
7 καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ πόλεμον ποιῆσαι μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων καὶ νικῆσαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία ἐπὶ πᾶσαν φυλὴν καὶ λαὸν καὶ γλῶσσαν καὶ ἔθνος.
8 فَسَيَسْجُدُ لَهُ جَمِيعُ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ مَكْتُوبَةً مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ ٱلْعَالَمِ فِي سِفْرِ حَيَاةِ ٱلْخَرُوفِ ٱلَّذِي ذُبِحَ.
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.
8 καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὧν οὐ γέγραπται τὸ ὄνομα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ ἀρνίου τοῦ ἐσφαγμένου ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου.
10 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَجْمَعُ سَبْيًا، فَإِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ يَذْهَبُ. وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَقْتُلُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، فَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُقْتَلَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. هُنَا صَبْرُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَإِيمَانُهُمْ.
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.
10 εἴ τις εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν [ἀπάγει], εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν ὑπάγει· εἴ τις ἐν μαχαίρᾳ [ἀποκτέννει], δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἀποκτανθῆναι. ὧδέ ἐστιν ἡ ὑπομονὴ καὶ ἡ πίστις τῶν ἁγίων.
11 ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ وَحْشًا آخَرَ طَالِعًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكَانَ لَهُ قَرْنَانِ شِبْهُ خَرُوفٍ، وَكَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ كَتِنِّينٍ،
11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
11 Καὶ εἶδον ἄλλο θηρίον ἀναβαῖνον ἐκ τῆς γῆς, καὶ εἶχε κέρατα [δύο] ὅμοια ἀρνίῳ, καὶ ἐλάλει ὡς δράκων.
12 وَيَعْمَلُ بِكُلِّ سُلْطَانِ ٱلْوَحْشِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ أَمَامَهُ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلْوَحْشِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ٱلَّذِي شُفِيَ جُرْحُهُ ٱلْمُمِيتُ،
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.
12 καὶ τὴν ἐξουσίαν τοῦ πρώτου θηρίου πᾶσαν ποιεῖ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ. καὶ ποιεῖ τὴν γῆν καὶ τοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ κατοικοῦντας ἵνα προσκυνήσωσι τὸ θηρίον τὸ πρῶτον, οὗ ἐθεραπεύθη ἡ πληγὴ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ.
13 وَيَصْنَعُ آيَاتٍ عَظِيمَةً، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يَجْعَلُ نَارًا تَنْزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ قُدَّامَ ٱلنَّاسِ،
13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.
13 καὶ ποιεῖ σημεῖα μεγάλα, καὶ πῦρ ἵνα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβαίνῃ εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
14 وَيُضِلُّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أُعْطِيَ أَنْ يَصْنَعَهَا أَمَامَ ٱلْوَحْشِ، قَائِلًا لِلسَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَصْنَعُوا صُورَةً لِلْوَحْشِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ بِهِ جُرْحُ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَعَاشَ.
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.
14 καὶ πλανᾷ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς διὰ τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ποιῆσαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θηρίου, λέγων τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ποιῆσαι εἰκόνα τῷ θηρίῳ, ὃς εἶχε τὴν πληγὴν τῆς μαχαίρας καὶ ἔζησε.
15 وَأُعْطِيَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ رُوحًا لِصُورَةِ ٱلْوَحْشِ، حَتَّى تَتَكَلَّمَ صُورَةُ ٱلْوَحْشِ، وَيَجْعَلَ جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِصُورَةِ ٱلْوَحْشِ يُقْتَلُونَ.
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.
15 καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ πνεῦμα δοῦναι τῇ εἰκόνι τοῦ θηρίου, ἵνα καὶ λαλήσῃ ἡ εἰκὼν τοῦ θηρίου καὶ ποιήσῃ, ὅσοι ἐὰν μὴ προσκυνήσωσι τῇ εἰκόνι τοῦ θηρίου, [ἵνα] ἀποκτανθῶσι.
16 وَيَجْعَلَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ: ٱلصِّغَارَ وَٱلْكِبَارَ، وَٱلْأَغْنِيَاءَ وَٱلْفُقَرَاءَ، وَٱلْأَحْرَارَ وَٱلْعَبِيدَ، تُصْنَعُ لَهُمْ سِمَةٌ عَلَى يَدِهِمِ ٱلْيُمْنَى أَوْ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِمْ،
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;
16 καὶ ποιεῖ πάντας, τοὺς μικροὺς καὶ τοὺς μεγάλους, καὶ τοὺς πλουσίους καὶ τοὺς πτωχούς, καὶ τοὺς ἐλευθέρους καὶ τοὺς δούλους, ἵνα δώσουσιν αὐτοῖς χάραγμα ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν τῆς δεξιᾶς ἢ ἐπὶ τῶν μετώπων αὐτῶν,
17 وَأَنْ لَا يَقْدِرَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ أَوْ يَبِيعَ، إِلَّا مَنْ لَهُ ٱلسِّمَةُ أَوِ ٱسْمُ ٱلْوَحْشِ أَوْ عَدَدُ ٱسْمِهِ.
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.
17 καὶ ἵνα μή τις δύνηται ἀγοράσαι ἢ πωλῆσαι εἰ μὴ ὁ ἔχων τὸ χάραγμα, τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θηρίου ἢ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ.
18 هُنَا ٱلْحِكْمَةُ! مَنْ لَهُ فَهْمٌ فَلْيَحْسُبْ عَدَدَ ٱلْوَحْشِ، فَإِنَّهُ عَدَدُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَعَدَدُهُ: سِتُّمِئَةٍ وَسِتَّةٌ وَسِتُّونَ.
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.
18 Ὧδε ἡ σοφία ἐστίν· ὁ ἔχων νοῦν ψηφισάτω τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ θηρίου· ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστί· καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτοῦ χξς΄.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints." After this he likewise describes his armour-bearer, whom he also terms a false prophet: "He spake as a dragon, and exercised all the power of the first beast in his sight, and caused the earth, and those that dwell therein, to adore the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
"There shall give consent to him all they that have not been written in the book of life." So then without doubt they will not consent that have been written.
