Aabenbaringen 10

1 Og jeg saa en anden vældig Engel komme ned fra Himmelen, svøbt i en Sky, og Regnbuen var paa hans Hoved, og hans Ansigt var som Solen og hans Fødder som Ildsøjler,

Then I saw another strong angel coming down from Heaven. He was robed in a cloud, and over his head was the rainbow. His face was like the sun, and his feet resembled pillars of fire.

2 og han havde i sin Haand en lille aabnet Bog. Og han satte sin højre Fod paa Havet og den venstre paa Jorden.

In his hand he held a small scroll unrolled; and, planting his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

3 Og han raabte med høj Røst, som en Løve brøler; og da han havde raabt, lode de syv Tordener deres Røster høre.

he cried out in a loud voice which resembled the roar of a lion. And when he had cried out, each of the seven peals of thunder uttered its own message.

4 Og da de syv Tordener havde talt, vilde jeg til at skrive; og jeg hørte en Røst fra Himmelen, som sagde: Forsegl, hvad de syv Tordener talte, og nedskriv det ikke!

And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write down what they had said; but I heard a voice from Heaven which told me to keep secret all that the seven peals of thunder had said, and not write it down.

5 Og Engelen, som jeg saa staa paa Havet og paa Jorden, opløftede sin højre Haand imod Himmelen

Then the angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the land, lifted his right hand toward Heaven.

6 og svor ved ham, som lever i Evighedernes Evigheder, som har skabt Himmelen, og hvad deri er, og Jorden, og hvad derpaa er, og Havet, og hvad deri er, at der ikke mere skal gives Tid; (aiōn g165)

And in the name of Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages, the Creator of Heaven and all that is in it, of the earth and all that is in it, and of the sea and all that is in it, he solemnly declared, (aiōn g165)

7 men i de Dage, da den syvende Engels Røst lyder, naar han skal til at basune, da er Guds skjulte Raad fuldbyrdet saaledes, som han har forkyndt sine Tjenere Profeterne.

"There shall be no further delay; but in the days when the seventh angel blows his trumpet--when he begins to do so--then the secret purposes of God are realized, in accordance with the good news which He gave to His servants the Prophets."

8 Og den Røst, som jeg havde hørt fra Himmelen, talte atter med mig og sagde: Gaa hen, tag den lille aabnede Bog, som er i den Engels Haand, der staar paa Havet og paa Jorden.

Then the voice which I had heard speaking from Heaven once more addressed me. It said, "Go and take the little book which lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

9 Og jeg gik hen til Engelen og sagde til ham, at han skulde give mig den lille Bog. Og han sagde til mig: Tag og nedsvælg den! og den vil volde Smerte i din Bug, men i din Mund vil den være sød som Honning.

So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. "Take it," he said, "and eat the whole of it. You will find it bitter when you have eaten it, although in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey."

10 Og jeg tog den lille Bog af Engelens Haand og nedsvælgede den; og den var i min Mund sød som Honning, men da jeg havde nedsvælget den, følte jeg Smerte i min Bug.

So I took the roll out of the angel's hand and ate the whole of it; and in my mouth it was as sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it I found it very bitter.

11 Og man sagde til mig: Du bør igen profetere om mange Folk og Folkeslag og Tungemaal og Konger.

And a voice said to me, "You must prophesy yet further concerning peoples, nations, languages, and many kings."
