AND I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

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.

И҆ ста́хъ на песцѣ̀ морстѣ́мъ: и҆ ви́дѣхъ и҆з̾ мо́рѧ ѕвѣ́рѧ и҆сходѧ́ща, и҆мꙋ́ща гла́въ се́дмь и҆ рогѡ́въ де́сѧть, и҆ на ро́зѣхъ є҆гѡ̀ вѣнє́цъ де́сѧть, а҆ на глава́хъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆мена̀ хꙋ̑льна.

2

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

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·

Ѕвѣ́рь, є҆го́же ви́дѣхъ, бѣ̀ подо́бенъ ры́си, и҆ но́зѣ є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ медвѣ̑ди, и҆ ᲂу҆ста̀ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆ста̀ львѡ́ва: и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ѕмі́й си́лꙋ свою̀ и҆ престо́лъ сво́й и҆ ѡ҆́бласть вели́кꙋю.

3

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

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.

И҆ ви́дѣхъ є҆ди́нꙋ ѿ гла́въ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ заколе́нꙋ въ сме́рть, и҆ ꙗ҆́зва сме́рти є҆гѡ̀ и҆сцѣлѣ̀. И҆ чꙋди́сѧ всѧ̀ землѧ̀ в̾слѣ́дъ ѕвѣ́рѧ, и҆ поклони́шасѧ ѕмі́ю, и҆́же дадѐ ѡ҆́бласть ѕвѣ́рю,

4

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

καὶ προσεκύνησαν τῷ δράκοντι τῷ δεδωκότι τὴν ἐξουσίαν τῷ θηρίῳ, καὶ προσεκύνησαν τῷ θηρίῳ λέγοντες· τίς ὅμοιος τῷ θηρίῳ; τίς δύναται πολεμῆσαι μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ;

и҆ поклони́шасѧ ѕвѣ́рю, глаго́люще: кто̀ подо́бенъ ѕвѣ́рю и҆ кто̀ мо́жетъ ра́товатисѧ съ ни́мъ;

5

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ στόμα λαλοῦν μεγάλα καὶ βλασφημίαν· καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία πόλεμον ποιῆσαι μῆνας τεσσαράκοντα δύο.

И҆ дана̑ бы́ша є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆ста̀ глагѡ́люща вели̑ка и҆ хꙋ̑льна, и҆ дана̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆́бласть твори́ти мцⷭ҇ъ четы́редесѧть два̀.

6

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

καὶ ἤνοιξε τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ εἰς βλασφημίαν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, βλασφημῆσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, τοὺς ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ σκηνοῦντας.

И҆ ѿве́рзе ᲂу҆ста̀ своѧ̑ въ хꙋле́нїе къ бг҃ꙋ, хꙋ́лити и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ селе́нїе є҆гѡ̀ и҆ живꙋ́щыѧ на нб҃сѝ.

7

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ πόλεμον ποιῆσαι μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων καὶ νικῆσαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία ἐπὶ πᾶσαν φυλὴν καὶ λαὸν καὶ γλῶσσαν καὶ ἔθνος.

И҆ дано̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ бра́нь твори́ти со ст҃ы́ми и҆ побѣди́ти ѧ҆̀: и҆ дана̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆́бласть на всѧ́цѣмъ колѣ́нѣ (люді́й) и҆ на ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ и҆ племенѣ́хъ.

8

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

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.

И҆ покло́нѧтсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ всѝ живꙋ́щїи на землѝ, и҆̀мже не напи̑сана сꙋ́ть и҆мена̀ въ кни́гахъ живо́тныхъ а҆́гнца заколе́нагѡ ѿ сложе́нїѧ мі́ра.

9

If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Εἴ τις ἔχει οὖς, ἀκουσάτω.

А҆́ще кто̀ и҆́мать ᲂу҆́хо, да слы́шитъ.

10

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

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.

И҆́же а҆́ще въ плѣне́нїе веде́тъ, въ плѣне́нїе по́йдетъ: а҆́ще кто̀ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ ᲂу҆бїе́тъ, подоба́етъ є҆мꙋ̀ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ ᲂу҆бїе́нꙋ бы́ти. Здѣ̀ є҆́сть терпѣ́нїе и҆ вѣ́ра ст҃ы́хъ.

11

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Καὶ εἶδον ἄλλο θηρίον ἀναβαῖνον ἐκ τῆς γῆς, καὶ εἶχε κέρατα δύο ὅμοια ἀρνίῳ, καὶ ἐλάλει ὡς δράκων.

И҆ ви́дѣхъ и҆́наго ѕвѣ́рѧ восходѧ́щаго ѿ землѝ, и҆ и҆мѣ́ѧше рѡ́га два̀, подѡ́бна а҆́гнчымъ, и҆ глаго́лаше ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕмі́й.

12

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

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.

И҆ вла́сть пе́рвагѡ ѕвѣ́рѧ всю̀ творѧ́ше пред̾ ни́мъ: и҆ творѧ́ше зе́млю и҆ всѧ̑ живꙋ́щыѧ на не́й поклони́тисѧ пе́рвомꙋ ѕвѣ́рю, є҆мꙋ́же и҆сцѣле́на бы́сть ꙗ҆́зва сме́ртнаѧ:

13

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

καὶ ποιεῖ σημεῖα μεγάλα, καὶ πῦρ ἵνα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβαίνῃ εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων.

и҆ сотворѝ чꙋдеса̀ вели̑ка, да и҆ ѻ҆́гнь сотвори́тъ сходи́ти съ небесѐ на зе́млю пред̾ человѣ̑ки.

14

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

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.

И҆ льсти́тъ живꙋ́щыѧ на землѝ, ра́ди зна́менїй, ꙗ҆̀же дана̑ бы́ша є҆мꙋ̀ пред̾ ѕвѣ́ремъ твори́ти, глаго́лѧ живꙋ́щымъ на землѝ, сотвори́ти ѡ҆́бразъ ѕвѣ́рю, и҆́же и҆́мать ꙗ҆́звꙋ ѻ҆рꙋ́жнꙋю и҆ жи́въ бы́сть.

15

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

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.

И҆ дано̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ да́ти дꙋ́хъ ѡ҆́бразꙋ ѕвѣри́нꙋ, да проглаго́летъ і҆кѡ́на ѕвѣри́на и҆ сотвори́тъ, да и҆̀же а҆́ще не покло́нѧтсѧ ѡ҆́бразꙋ ѕвѣри́номꙋ, ᲂу҆бїе́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ.

16

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

καὶ ποιεῖ πάντας, τοὺς μικροὺς καὶ τοὺς μεγάλους, καὶ τοὺς πλουσίους καὶ τοὺς πτωχούς, καὶ τοὺς ἐλευθέρους καὶ τοὺς δούλους, ἵνα δώσωσιν αὐτοῖς χάραγμα ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν τῆς δεξιᾶς ἢ ἐπὶ τῶν μετώπων αὐτῶν,

И҆ сотвори́тъ всѧ̑ ма̑лыѧ и҆ вели̑кїѧ, бога̑тыѧ и҆ ᲂу҆бѡ́гїѧ, свобѡ́дныѧ и҆ рабѡ́тныѧ, да да́стъ и҆̀мъ начерта́нїе на деснѣ́й рꙋцѣ̀ и҆́хъ и҆лѝ на челѣ́хъ и҆́хъ,

17

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

καὶ ἵνα μή τις δύνηται ἀγοράσαι ἢ πωλῆσαι εἰ μὴ ὁ ἔχων τὸ χάραγμα, τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θηρίου ἢ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ.

да никто́же возмо́жетъ ни кꙋпи́ти, ни прода́ти, то́кмѡ кто̀ и҆́мать начерта́нїе, и҆лѝ и҆́мѧ ѕвѣ́рѧ, и҆лѝ число̀ и҆́мене є҆гѡ̀.

18

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

ὧδε ἡ σοφία ἐστίν· ὁ ἔχων νοῦν ψηφισάτω τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ θηρίου· ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστί· καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτοῦ χξς´.

Здѣ̀ мꙋ́дрость є҆́сть. И҆́же и҆́мать ᲂу҆́мъ, да почте́тъ число̀ ѕвѣри́но: число́ бо человѣ́ческо є҆́сть, и҆ число̀ є҆гѡ̀ ше́сть сѡ́тъ шестьдесѧ́тъ ше́сть.
