Aabenbaringen 22
1 Og han viste mig Livets Vands Flod, skinnende som Krystal, udvældende fra Guds og Lammets Trone.
The angel showed me the river of water [that causes people who drink from it] to live [forever]. The water was sparkling and clear like crystal. The river was flowing out from the throne where God and the [one who is like a] lamb [were sitting].
2 Midt i dens Gade og paa begge Sider af Floden voksede Livets Træ, som bar tolv Gange Frugt og gav hver Maaned sin Frugt; og Bladene af Træet tjente til Lægedom for Folkeslagene.
It flowed down through the middle of the [main] street of the city. On each side of the river were trees [bearing fruit that causes people who eat it] to live forever. [The trees] bear twelve [crops] (OR, twelve [kinds]) of fruit; [they] produce one crop each month. The [people of the] nations [MTY] [use] the leaves of these trees [as medicine] in order that they may feel stronger
3 Og der skal intet bandlyst være mere; og Guds og Lammets Trone skal være i den, og hans Tjenere skulle tjene ham,
There will never be [anyone or anything there that God] will be [under God’s] curse. The throne of God and the [one who is like a] lamb will be in the city. And God’s servants will worship him there.
4 og de skulle se hans Ansigt, og hans Navn skal være paa deres Pander.
They will see him face-to-face, and his name will be [written] {[he] will [write] his name} on their foreheads.
5 Og Nat skal der ikke være mere, og de trænge ikke til Lys af Lampe eller Lys af Sol, fordi Gud Herren skal lyse over dem; og de skulle være Konger i Evighedernes Evigheder. (aiōn g165)
There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn g165)
6 Og han sagde til mig: Disse Ord ere troværdige og sande; og Herren, Profeternes Aanders Gud, har udsendt sin Engel for at vise sine Tjenere, hvad der skal ske snart.
The angel said to me: “These words that [God has revealed to you] are true, and he will certainly do what he has promised to do. The Lord God who ([inspires] the prophets/tells the prophets what to say) sent his angel to show the people who serve him the events that must happen soon.”
7 Og se, jeg kommer snart. Salig er den, som bevarer denne Bogs Profetis Ord.
[Jesus says to all his people], “Listen [to] this! I am coming soon; [God will abundantly] bless everyone who obeys what [has been commanded] in this book.”
8 Og jeg, Johannes, er den, som saa og hørte disse Ting, og da jeg havde hørt og set, faldt jeg ned for at tilbede for den Engels Fødder, som viste mig disse Ting.
I, John, am the one who heard and saw [in a vision] these things [that I have written down]. When I had heard and seen [them], I immediately knelt down at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me, in order to worship him.
9 Og han siger til mig: Gør det ikke; jeg er din Medtjener og dine Brødres, Profeternes, og deres, som bevare denne Bogs Ord; tilbed Gud!
But he said to me, “Do not [worship me] I am [just] your fellow servant! I am also the fellow servant of your fellow believers who are (the prophets/the ones who tell messages that come directly from God), and I am a fellow servant of those who obey what has been commanded in this book. [Instead], worship God!”
10 Og han siger til mig: Du skal ikke forsegle denne Bogs Profetis Ord, thi Tiden er nær.
He also said to me, “Do not keep secret the message about what [God] has foretold in this book, because it is almost time [MTY] for him to [what he has promised to do in this message].
11 Lad den, som gør Uret, fremdeles gøre Uret, og den urene fremdeles blive uren, og den retfærdige fremdeles øve Retfærdighed, og den hellige fremdeles blive helliggjort.
[Since that time is near, if] those who act in an evil manner [want to] continue to act that way [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that. If] those who are vile [want to] continue to be vile [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that]. Those who are [acting] righteously should continue to act righteously. And those who are holy should continue to be holy.”
12 Se, jeg kommer snart, og min Løn er med mig til at betale enhver, efter som hans Gerning er.
[Jesus says this to everyone]: “Listen! I am coming soon! And I will pay back everyone according to what each one has done, by [punishing or] rewarding them.
13 Jeg er Alfa og Omega, den første og den sidste, Begyndelsen og Enden.
I [am] the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. I existed before [all things existed] and I will exist at the end [of all things] [DOU].
14 Salige ere de, som tvætte deres Klædebon, for at de kunne faa Adgang til Livets Træ og gaa ind igennem Portene i Staden.
[God] is very pleased with the people who wash their robes, [making themselves spiritually clean] [MET], because they will be able to [eat the fruit of] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever], and because they will [be able] to enter the gates into the [holy] city.
15 Udenfor ere Hundene og Troldkarlene og de utugtige og Morderne og Afgudsdyrkerne og enhver, som elsker og øver Løgn.
[People who are unholy] will not be allowed to enter the city. They include people who practice sorcery, people who sin sexually, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who enjoys telling lies and are continual liars. [They can never enter that city].”
16 Jeg, Jesus, har sendt min Engel til at vidne for eder disse Ting om Menighederne, jeg er Davids Rodskud og Slægt, den straalende Morgenstjerne.
“I, Jesus, sent my angel in order that he might tell you who are in the congregations [that all] these things [that have been said are true]. I am the descendant of [King] David [whom the prophets promised would come] [MET]. I am the [one who is like] the bright morning star [MET], the one [that Moses promised would come].”
17 Og Aanden og Bruden sige: Kom! Og den, som hører, sige: Kom! Og den, som tørster, han komme; den, som vil, han modtage Livets Vand uforskyldt!
[God’s] Spirit and [his people, who are like] [MET] the bride [of Christ], say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” Whoever hears [this] should also say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” [Spiritually thirsty people should come] [MET]! Everyone who desires the water [that enables people to] live [forever] should take it as a free gift!
18 Jeg vidner for enhver, som hører denne Bogs Profetis Ord: Dersom nogen lægger noget til disse Ting, da skal Gud lægge paa ham de Plager, som der er skrevet om i denne Bog.
“I, [Jesus, solemnly] warn everyone who hears what [I] have foretold in this book: If anyone adds anything to this message, God will cause him to experience the plagues that are {that [I] have} described in this book.
19 Og dersom nogen tager noget bort fra denne Profetis Bogs Ord, da skal Gud tage hans Lod bort fra Livets Træ og fra den hellige Stad, om hvilke der er skrevet i denne Bog.
If anyone omits any of the message about what [I] have foretold in this book, God will take away that person’s right [to eat fruit from] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever]. He [will also take away] that person’s right [to enter] God’s city. [Both these things] are described {[I] have described [both these things]} in this book.”
20 Han, som vidner disse Ting, siger: Ja, jeg kommer snart! — Amen. Kom, Herre Jesus!
[Jesus], who says that [all] the things written here are true, says, “Certainly I am coming soon!” [I, John, reply], “(May it be so!/Amen!) Lord Jesus, come!”
21 Den Herres Jesu Naade være med alle!
[I pray that our] Lord Jesus [will continue to] act kindly to all [of you who are God’s people]. (Amen!/May it be so!)
