Aabenbaringen 10
1 Og jeg saa en anden vældig Engel komme ned fra Himmelen, svøbt i en Sky, og Regnbuen var paa hans Hoved, og hans Ansigt var som Solen og hans Fødder som Ildsøjler,
Then I saw another mighty angel, descending from heaven. His robe was a cloud; over his head was the rainbow; his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;
2 og han havde i sin Haand en lille aabnet Bog. Og han satte sin højre Fod paa Havet og den venstre paa Jorden.
in his hand he held a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land;
3 Og han raabte med høj Røst, som en Løve brøler; og da han havde raabt, lode de syv Tordener deres Røster høre.
and he cried in a loud voice like the roaring of a lion. At his cry the seven peals of thunder spoke, each with its own voice.
4 Og da de syv Tordener havde talt, vilde jeg til at skrive; og jeg hørte en Røst fra Himmelen, som sagde: Forsegl, hvad de syv Tordener talte, og nedskriv det ikke!
And, when they spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say – ‘Keep secret what the seven peals of thunder said, and do not write it down.’
5 Og Engelen, som jeg saa staa paa Havet og paa Jorden, opløftede sin højre Haand imod Himmelen
Then the angel, whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land, raised his right hand to the heavens,
6 og svor ved ham, som lever i Evighedernes Evigheder, som har skabt Himmelen, og hvad deri er, og Jorden, og hvad derpaa er, og Havet, og hvad deri er, at der ikke mere skal gives Tid; (aiōn g165)
and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, that time should cease to be. (aiōn g165)
7 men i de Dage, da den syvende Engels Røst lyder, naar han skal til at basune, da er Guds skjulte Raad fuldbyrdet saaledes, som han har forkyndt sine Tjenere Profeterne.
Moreover at the time when the seventh angel will speak, when he is ready to blow his blast, then the hidden purposes of God, of which he told the good news to his servants, the prophets, are at once fulfilled.
8 Og den Røst, som jeg havde hørt fra Himmelen, talte atter med mig og sagde: Gaa hen, tag den lille aabnede Bog, som er i den Engels Haand, der staar paa Havet og paa Jorden.
Then came the voice which I had heard from heaven. It spoke to me again, and said – ‘Go and take the book that is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.’
9 Og jeg gik hen til Engelen og sagde til ham, at han skulde give mig den lille Bog. Og han sagde til mig: Tag og nedsvælg den! og den vil volde Smerte i din Bug, men i din Mund vil den være sød som Honning.
So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said ‘Take it, and eat it. It will be bitter to your stomach, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’
10 Og jeg tog den lille Bog af Engelens Haand og nedsvælgede den; og den var i min Mund sød som Honning, men da jeg havde nedsvælget den, følte jeg Smerte i min Bug.
I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and, while in my mouth, it was like the sweetest honey; but, when I had eaten it, it was bitter to my stomach.
11 Og man sagde til mig: Du bør igen profetere om mange Folk og Folkeslag og Tungemaal og Konger.
And I was told – ‘You must prophesy again about men of many peoples, and nations, and languages, and about many kings.’
