Aabenbaringen 6
1 Og jeg saa, da Lammet aabnede et af de syv Segl, og jeg hørte et af de fire Væsener sige som en Tordens Røst: Kom!
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as it were a voice of thunder, “Come and behold!”
2 Og jeg saa, og se en hvid Hest, og han, som sad paa den, havde en Bue; og der blev givet ham en Krone, og han drog ud sejrende og til Sejr.
And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who is sitting on it is having a bow, and there was given to him a garland, and he went forth overcoming, and that he may overcome.
3 Og da det aabnede det andet Segl, hørte jeg det andet Væsen sige: Kom!
And when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and behold!”
4 Og der udgik en anden Hest, som var rød; og ham, som sad paa den, blev det givet at tage Freden bort fra Jorden, og at de skulde myrde hverandre; og der blev givet ham et stort Sværd.
And there went forth another horse—fire-colored, and to him who is sitting on it, there was given to him to take peace from the earth, and that they may slay one another, and there was given to him a great sword.
5 Og da det aabnede det tredje Segl, hørte jeg det tredje Væsen sige: Kom! Og jeg saa, og se en sort Hest, og han, der sad paa den, havde en Vægt i sin Haand.
And when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and behold!” And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and he who is sitting on it is having a balance in his hand,
6 Og jeg hørte ligesom en Røst midt iblandt de fire Væsener, som sagde: Et Maal Hvede for en Denar og tre Maal Byg for en Denar; og Olien og Vinen skal du ikke gøre Skade.
and I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius, and you may not injure the oil and the wine.”
7 Og da det aabnede det fjerde Segl, hørte jeg en Røst af det fjerde Væsen sige: Kom!
And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and behold!”
8 Og jeg saa, og se en grøngul Hest, og han, som sad paa den, hans Navn var Døden, og Dødsriget fulgte med ham; og der blev givet dem Magt over Fjerdedelen af. Jorden til at ihjelslaa med Sværd og med Hunger og med Pest og ved Jordens vilde Dyr. (Hadēs g86)
And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and he who is sitting on him—his name is Death, and Hades follows with him, and there was given to them authority to kill over the fourth part of the earth with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Og da det aabnede det femte Segl, saa jeg under Alteret deres Sjæle, som vare myrdede for Guds Ords Skyld og for det Vidnesbyrds Skyld, som de havde.
And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony that they held,
10 Og de raabte med høj Røst og sagde: Hvor længe, Herre, du hellige og sanddru! undlader du at dømme og hævne vort Blod paa dem, som bo paa Jorden?
and they were crying with a great voice, saying, “Until when, O Master, the Holy and the True, do You not judge and take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling on the earth?”
11 Og der blev givet dem hver især en lang hvid Klædning, og der blev sagt til dem, at de skulde hvile endnu en liden Tid, indtil ogsaa Tallet paa deres Medtjenere og deres Brødre blev fuldt, hvilke skulde ihjelslaas ligesom de.
And there was given to each one a white robe, and it was said to them that they may rest themselves yet a short time, until may also be fulfilled their fellow-servants and their brothers, who are about to be killed—even as they.
12 Og jeg saa, da det aabnede det sjette Segl, da skete der et stort Jordskælv, og Solen blev sort som en Haarsæk, og Maanen blev helt som Blod.
And I saw when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood,
13 Og Himmelens Stjerner faldt ned paa Jorden, ligesom et Figentræ nedkaster sine umodne Figen, naar det rystes af et stærkt Vejr.
and the stars of Heaven fell to the earth—as a fig tree casts her unripe figs, being shaken by a great wind—
14 Og Himmelen veg bort, lig en Bog, der sammenrulles, og hvert Bjerg og hver Ø flyttedes fra deres Steder.
and the sky departed as a scroll rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places;
15 Og Kongerne paa Jorden og Stormændene og Krigsøversterne og de rige og de vældige og hver Træl og fri skjulte sig i Hulerne og i Bjergenes Kløfter,
and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains,
16 og de sagde til Bjergene og Klipperne: Falder over os og skjuler os for hans Aasyn, som sidder paa Tronen, og for Lammets Vrede!
and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting on the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,”
17 Thi deres Vredes store Dag er kommen; og hvem kan bestaa?
because the great day of His anger has come, and who is able to stand?
