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!
Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
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.
So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Then harmful and painful sores came upon the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped 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.
The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it turned into blood, like that of a dead person, and every living creature in the sea died.
4 Og den tredje Engel udgød sin Skaal i Floderne og Vandkilderne, og de bleve til Blod.
The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became 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 angel of the waters say, “Yoʋ are just, O Holy One, who is and who was, for yoʋ have brought these judgments.
6 thi de have udøst helliges og Profeters Blod, og du har givet dem Blod at drikke; de ere det værd.
For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and yoʋ have given them blood to drink; it is what they deserve.”
7 Og jeg hørte Alteret sige: Ja, Herre, Gud, du almægtige! sande og retfærdige ere dine Domme.
And I heard the altar say, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and just are yoʋr judgments.”
8 Og den fjerde Engel udgød sin Skaal over Solen; og det blev givet den at brænde Menneskene med Ild.
The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was permitted to scorch people 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.
People were scorched with intense heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues, but they did not repent and give 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.
The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and the beast's kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony
11 Og de bespottede Himmelens Gud for deres Piner og for deres Bylder; og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Gerninger.
and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores, but they did not repent of 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.
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east.
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.
Then I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
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.
They are demonic spirits performing signs, who go out to the kings of the whole world to assemble them for battle on 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 am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his garments on, so that he will not walk around naked and have people see his shame.”)
16 Og de samlede dem til det Sted, som kaldes paa Hebraisk Harmagedon.
Then they assembled the kings at the place 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.
The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came from the throne of the temple of heaven, 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.
Then there were flashes of lightning, peals of thunder, rumblings, and a great earthquake such as had not occurred since men have been on the earth, so great was the quake.
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.
The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God remembered Babylon the great and gave her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.
20 Og hver Ø flyede, og Bjerge bleve ikke fundne.
Every island fled, and no mountain could be 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 hailstones, about the weight of a talent, fell on people from heaven, and they blasphemed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
