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 corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should 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 angel coming up from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt 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, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till 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:
And I heard the number of the sealed. A hundred and forty-four thousand were sealed out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel.
5 Af Judas Stamme tolv Tusinde beseglede, af Rubens Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Gads Stamme tolv Tusinde,
Out of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand;
6 af Asers Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Nafthalis Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Manasses Stamme tolv Tusinde,
out of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand;
7 af Simeons Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Levis Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Isaskars Stamme tolv Tusinde,
out of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; out 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.
out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; out 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 lo! a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, 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 they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sitteth upon 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 angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped 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 might, be to our God, for ever and ever. (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 who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
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 said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them 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.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he that sitteth on the throne will make his abode with them.
16 De skulle ikke hungre mere, ej heller tørste mere, ej heller skal Solen eller nogen Hede falde paa dem.
They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more; neither shall the sun fall upon them, nor any burning 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 before the throne is a shepherd to them, and leadeth them to the fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
