1 ¶ 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 its horns ten crowns, and upon its heads the name of blasphemy.

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 A nd the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and its feet were as the feet of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority.

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 A nd I saw one of its heads as it were wounded to death; and its deadly wound was healed; and all the earth marveled, and followed the beast.

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 A nd they worshipped the dragon which had given the authority unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast; saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with it?

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

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 nd it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those that dwell in heaven.

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 A nd it was given unto it to make war with the saints and to overcome them; and power was given it over all kindreds and tongues and nations.

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

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 I f anyone has an ear, let him hear.

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

10 H e that leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

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 ¶ Then I beheld another beast coming up out of the land; and he had two horns like the Lamb, but he spoke as the dragon.

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 A nd he exercised all the power of the first beast in its presence and caused the earth and those that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

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 A nd he does great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven to the earth in the sight of men

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 a nd deceives those that dwell on the earth by those signs which were given unto him to do in the presence of the beast, commanding those that dwell on the earth to make an image of the beast, which has the wound by the sword, and did live.

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 A nd it was given unto him to endue the image of the beast with spirit, so that the image of the beast should speak, and he shall cause those that do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

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 A nd he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slaves, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads;

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 a nd that no one might buy or sell, unless he has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of its name.

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 H ere is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for the number of man; and its number is six hundred sixty-six.

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.
