Aabenbaringen 7
1 Og derefter saa jeg fire Engle staa paa Jordens fire Hjørner; de holdt Jordens fire Vinde, for at ingen Vind skulde blæse over Jorden, ej heller over Havet, ej heller over noget Træ.
And after these things I saw four messengers, standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind may not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree;
2 Og jeg saa en anden Engel stige op fra Solens Opgang med den levende Guds Segl; og han raabte med høj Røst til de fire Engle, hvem det var givet at skade Jorden og Havet, og sagde:
and I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he cried with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying,
3 Skader ikke Jorden, ej heller Havet, ej heller Træerne, førend vi have beseglet vor Guds Tjenere paa deres Pander.
“Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we may seal the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
4 Og jeg hørte Tallet paa de beseglede, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Tusinde beseglede af alle Israels Børns Stammer:
And I heard the number of those sealed—one hundred forty-four thousand, having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5 Af Judas Stamme tolv Tusinde beseglede, af Rubens Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Gads Stamme tolv Tusinde,
of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
6 af Asers Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Nafthalis Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Manasses Stamme tolv Tusinde,
of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
7 af Simeons Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Levis Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Isaskars Stamme tolv Tusinde,
of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
8 af Sebulons Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Josefs Stamme tolv Tusinde og af Benjamins Stamme tolv Tusinde beseglede.
of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
9 Derefter saa jeg, og se en stor Skare, som ingen kunde tælle, af alle Folkeslag og Stammer og Folk og Tungemaal, som stod for Tronen og for Lammet, iførte lange hvide Klæder og med Palmegrene i deres Hænder;
After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no one was able to number, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, having been clothed [in] white robes, and palms in their hands,
10 og de raabte med høj Røst og sagde: Frelsen tilhører vor Gud, som sidder paa Tronen, og Lammet!
and crying with a great voice, saying, “Salvation to our God, the [One] sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 Og alle Englene stode rundt om Tronen og om de Ældste og om de fire Væsener og faldt ned for Tronen paa deres Ansigt og tilbade Gud og sagde:
And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces and worshiped God,
12 Amen! Velsignelsen og Prisen og Visdommen og Taksigelsen og Æren og Kraften og Styrken tilhører vor Gud i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
saying, “Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honor, and the power, and the strength, [are] to our God through the ages of the ages! Amen!” (aiōn g165)
13 Og en af de Ældste tog til Orde og sagde til mig: Disse, som ere iførte de lange hvide Klæder, hvem ere de? og hvorfra ere de komne?
And one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These having been clothed with the white robes, who are they, and from where have they come?”
14 Og jeg sagde til ham: Min Herre! du ved det. Og han sagde til mig: Det er dem, som komme ud af den store Trængsel, og de have tvættet deres Klæder og gjort dem hvide i Lammets Blod.
And I have said to him, “Lord, you have known”; and he said to me, “These are those who are coming out of the Great Tribulation, and they washed their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb;
15 Derfor ere de foran Guds Trone og tjene ham Dag og Nat i hans Tempel; og han, som sidder paa Tronen, skal opslaa sit Telt over dem.
because of this they are before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His temple, and He who is sitting on the throne will dwell over them;
16 De skulle ikke hungre mere, ej heller tørste mere, ej heller skal Solen eller nogen Hede falde paa dem.
they will not hunger anymore, nor may the sun fall on them, nor any heat,
17 Thi Lammet, som er midt for Tronen, skal vogte dem og lede dem til Livets Vandkilder; og Gud skal aftørre hver Taare af deres Øjne.
because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne will feed them, and will lead them to living fountains of waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
