1 N a 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.

and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns, and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.

2 R ite 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.

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 throne, and great authority.

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;

And I saw one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;

4 N a 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?

and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him?

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.

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

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.

And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven.

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.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

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.

And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.

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

If any man hath an ear, let him hear.

10 K o 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.

If any man is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

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.

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

12 K ei 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.

And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed.

13 H e 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.

And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.

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.

And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him 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 who hath the stroke of the sword and lived.

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.

And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image to the breast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

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:

And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead;

17 K ia 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.

and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 T enei 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.

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