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 this, I saw four angels standing on the four quarters of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or 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:
I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He called out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
3 Skader ikke Jorden, ej heller Havet, ej heller Træerne, førend vi have beseglet vor Guds Tjenere paa deres Pander.
saying, "Do not harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed 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:
I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
5 Af Judas Stamme tolv Tusinde beseglede, af Rubens Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Gads Stamme tolv Tusinde,
of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 af Asers Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Nafthalis Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Manasses Stamme tolv Tusinde,
of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 af Simeons Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Levis Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Isaskars Stamme tolv Tusinde,
of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
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, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
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 looked, and suddenly there was a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
10 og de raabte med høj Røst og sagde: Frelsen tilhører vor Gud, som sidder paa Tronen, og Lammet!
They shouted with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits 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:
All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne, 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. Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever. 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?
One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did 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.
So I said to him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.
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.
Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 De skulle ikke hungre mere, ej heller tørste mere, ej heller skal Solen eller nogen Hede falde paa dem.
They will hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither will the sun beat 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.
for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
