8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
8 Yule mnyama uliyemwona alikuwako, naye hayuko, naye yu tayari kupanda kutoka kuzimu na kwenda kwenye uharibifu. Na hao wakaao juu ya nchi, wasioandikwa majina yao katika kitabu cha uzima tangu kuwekwa misingi ya ulimwengu, watastaajabu wamwonapo yule mnyama, ya kwamba alikuwako, naye hayuko, naye atakuwako.
