Aabenbaringen 16
1 Og jeg hørte en høj Røst fra Templet sige til de syv Engle: Gaar hen og udgyder Guds Harmes syv Skaaler over Jorden!
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven messengers, “Go away, and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God into the earth”;
2 Og den første gik hen og udgød sin Skaal over Jorden, og der kom slemme og onde Bylder paa de Mennesker, som havde Dyrets Mærke, og dem, som tilbade dets Billede.
and the first went away, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and there came a sore—bad and grievous—to men, those having the mark of the beast, and those worshiping his image.
3 Og den anden Engel udgød sin Skaal i Havet, og det blev til Blod som af en død, og hver levende Sjæl i Havet døde.
And the second messenger poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of [one] dead, and every living soul in the sea died.
4 Og den tredje Engel udgød sin Skaal i Floderne og Vandkilderne, og de bleve til Blod.
And the third messenger poured out his bowl into the rivers, and into the fountains of the waters, and there came blood,
5 Og jeg hørte Vandenes Engel sige: Retfærdig er du, som er, og som var, du hellige, fordi du har fældet denne Dom;
and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying, “Righteous, O LORD, are You, who is, and who was, [[and who will be, ]] the Holy [One], because You judged these things,
6 thi de have udøst helliges og Profeters Blod, og du har givet dem Blod at drikke; de ere det værd.
because they poured out [the] blood of holy ones and prophets, and You gave to them blood to drink, for they are worthy”;
7 Og jeg hørte Alteret sige: Ja, Herre, Gud, du almægtige! sande og retfærdige ere dine Domme.
and I heard another out of the altar, saying, “Yes, LORD God, the Almighty, true and righteous [are] Your judgments.”
8 Og den fjerde Engel udgød sin Skaal over Solen; og det blev givet den at brænde Menneskene med Ild.
And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire,
9 Og Menneskene brændtes i stor Hede og bespottede Guds Navn, som har Magt over disse Plager; og de omvendte sig ikke til at give ham Ære.
and men were scorched with great heat, and they slandered the Name of God, who has authority over these plagues, and they did not convert—to give to Him glory.
10 Og den femte Engel udgød sin Skaal over Dyrets Trone; og dets Rige blev formørket, og de tyggede deres Tunger af Pine.
And the fifth messenger poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain,
11 Og de bespottede Himmelens Gud for deres Piner og for deres Bylder; og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Gerninger.
and they slandered the God of Heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not convert from their works.
12 Og den sjette Engel udgød sin Skaal over den store Flod Eufrat; og dens Vand borttørredes, for at Vejen kunde beredes for Kongerne fra Solens Opgang.
And the sixth messenger poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates, and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready;
13 Og jeg saa, at der af Dragens Mund og af Dyrets Mund og af den falske Profets Mund udgik tre urene Aander, som lignede Padder.
and I saw [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs—
14 Thi de ere Dæmoners Aander, som gøre Tegn; og de gaa ud til hele Jorderiges Konger for at samle dem til Krigen paa Guds, den almægtiges, store Dag.
for they are spirits of demons, doing signs—which go forth to the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty.
15 — Se, jeg kommer som en Tyv. Salig er den, som vaager og bevarer sine Klæder, saa han ikke skal gaa nøgen, og man skal se hans Skam. —
(“Behold, I come as a thief; blessed [is] he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness.”)
16 Og de samlede dem til det Sted, som kaldes paa Hebraisk Harmagedon.
And they brought them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.
17 Og den syvende Engel udgød sin Skaal i Luften; og fra Templet, fra Tronen udgik der en høj Røst, som sagde: Det er sket.
And the seventh messenger poured out his bowl on the air, and there came forth a great voice from the temple of Heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
18 Og der kom Lyn og Røster og Tordener; og der blev et stort Jordskælv, hvis Mage ikke har været, siden der blev Mennesker til paa Jorden, et saadant Jordskælv, saa stort.
And there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as has not come since men came on the earth, so mighty an earthquake—so great!
19 Og den store Stad blev til tre Dele, og Folkeslagenes Stæder faldt; og Gud kom det store Babylon i Hu for at give det Bægeret med sin Vredes Harmes Vin.
And it came—the great city—into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger,
20 Og hver Ø flyede, og Bjerge bleve ikke fundne.
and every island fled away, and mountains were not found,
21 Og en stærk Hagel, centnertung, faldt ned fra Himmelen paa Menneskene; og Menneskene bespottede Gud for Hagelens Plage, thi dens Plage var meget stor.
and great hail (as of talent weight) comes down out of the sky on men, and men slandered God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great.
