Aabenbaringen 9
1 Og den femte Engel basunede, og jeg saa en Stjerne, som var falden ned fra Himmelen paa Jorden, og Nøglen til Afgrundens Brønd blev given den. (Abyssos g12)
Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet. I saw a star from heaven that had fallen to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
2 Og den aabnede Afgrundens Brønd, og en Røg steg op af Brønden, lig Røgen af en stor Ovn; og Solen og Luften blev formørket af Røgen fra Brønden. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the shaft like smoke from a huge furnace. The sun and the air turned dark by the smoke pouring out of the shaft. (Abyssos g12)
3 Og fra Røgen udgik der Græshopper over Jorden, og der blev givet dem Magt, som Jordens Skorpioner have Magt.
Out of the smoke locusts came on the earth, and they were given power like that of scorpions on the earth.
4 Og der blev sagt til dem, at de ikke maatte skade Græsset paa Jorden, ej heller noget grønt eller noget Træ, men kun de Mennesker, som ikke have Guds Segl paa deres Pander.
They were told not to damage the grass on the earth or any green plant or tree, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 Og det blev dem givet ikke at dræbe dem, men at pine dem i fem Maaneder; og Pinen, de voldte, var som Pinen af en Skorpion, naar den stikker et Menneske.
They were not given permission to kill those people, but only to torture them for five months. Their agony would be like the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a person.
6 Og i de Dage skulle Menneskene søge Døden og ikke finde den, og attraa at dø, og Døden flyr fra dem.
In those days people will seek death, but will not find it. They will greatly desire to die, but death will flee from them.
7 Og Græshoppeskikkelserne lignede Heste, rustede til Krig, og paa deres Hoveder var der som Kroner, der lignede Guld, og deres Ansigter vare som Menneskers Ansigter,
The locusts looked like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces.
8 og de havde Haar som Kvinders Haar, og deres Tænder vare som Løvers,
They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.
9 og de havde Pansere som Jernpansere; og Lyden af deres Vinger var som Lyd af Stridsvogne, naar mange Heste fare ud til Kamp.
They had breastplates like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the sound made by many chariots and horses running into battle.
10 Og de have Haler, som ligne Skorpioners, og Brodde, og i deres Haler ligger deres Magt til at skade Menneskene i fem Maaneder.
They had tails with stingers like scorpions; in their tails they had power to harm people for five months.
11 De have Afgrundens Engel til Konge over sig; hans Navn er paa Hebraisk Abaddon, og paa Græsk har han Navnet Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
They had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew was Abaddon, and in Greek he had the name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Det første Ve er til Ende; se, der kommer endnu to Veer derefter.
The first woe is past. Look! After this there are still two disasters to come.
13 Og den sjette Engel basunede, og jeg hørte en Røst fra de fire Horn paa Guldalteret, som staar for Guds Aasyn,
The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is present before God.
14 sige til den sjette Engel, der havde Basunen: Løs de fire Engle, som ere bundne ved den store Flod Eufrat.
The voice said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River.”
15 Og de fire Engle bleve løste, som til den Time og Dag og Maaned og Aar vare rede til at ihjelslaa Tredjedelen af Menneskene.
The four angels who had been prepared for that hour, that day, that month, and that year, were released to kill a third of mankind.
16 Og Tallet paa Rytterhærene var to Gange Titusinde Gange Titusinde; jeg hørte deres Tal.
The number of the soldiers on horseback was 200,000,000. I heard their number.
17 Og saaledes saa jeg Hestene i Synet og dem, som sade derpaa, hvilke havde ildrøde og sorteblaa og svovlgule Pansere; og Hestenes Hoveder vare som Løvers Hoveder, og af deres Munde udgik Ild og Røg og Svovl.
This is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode on them: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue and sulfurous yellow. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18 Af disse tre Plager, af Ilden og Røgen og Svovlet, som udgik af deres Munde, blev Tredjedelen af Menneskene ihjelslaaet.
A third of the people were killed by these three plagues: the fire, smoke, and sulfur that came out of their mouths.
19 Thi Hestenes Magt er i deres Mund og i deres Haler; thi deres Haler ligne Slanger, have Hoveder, og med dem gøre de Skade.
For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails—for their tails were like snakes, and they had heads with which they inflicted wounds on people.
20 Og de øvrige Mennesker, som ikke bleve dræbte i disse Plager, omvendte sig ikke fra deres Hænders Gerninger, saa de lode være at tilbede de onde Aander og Afgudsbillederne af Guld og Sølv og Kobber og Sten og Træ, som hverken kunne se eller høre eller gaa;
The rest of mankind, those who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the deeds they had done, nor did they stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—things that cannot see, hear, or walk.
21 og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Myrden eller fra deres Trolddom eller fra deres Utugt eller fra deres Tyveri.
Neither did they repent of their murders, their sorcery, their sexual immorality or their acts of theft.
