Aabenbaringen 16
1 Og jeg hørte en høj Røst fra Templet sige til de syv Engle: Gaar hen og udgyder Guds Harmes syv Skaaler over Jorden!
And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go and pour out the seven cups of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 Og den første gik hen og udgød sin Skaal over Jorden, og der kom slemme og onde Bylder paa de Mennesker, som havde Dyrets Mærke, og dem, som tilbade dets Billede.
And the first angel went, and poured out his cup on the land; and there came a hurtful and afflictive sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and that worshiped his image.
3 Og den anden Engel udgød sin Skaal i Havet, og det blev til Blod som af en død, og hver levende Sjæl i Havet døde.
And the second angel poured out his cup on the sea; and it became blood, like that of a dead man: and every soul in the sea died.
4 Og den tredje Engel udgød sin Skaal i Floderne og Vandkilderne, og de bleve til Blod.
And the third angel poured out his cup on the rivers and the fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 Og jeg hørte Vandenes Engel sige: Retfærdig er du, som er, og som var, du hellige, fordi du har fældet denne Dom;
And I heard the angel of the waters, saying: Just art thou, who art and who wast, the Holy One, because thou hast thus judged.
6 thi de have udøst helliges og Profeters Blod, og du har givet dem Blod at drikke; de ere det værd.
For they have shed the blood of saints and of prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink, and they are worthy.
7 Og jeg hørte Alteret sige: Ja, Herre, Gud, du almægtige! sande og retfærdige ere dine Domme.
And I heard a voice from the altar saying: Even so; Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments.
8 Og den fjerde Engel udgød sin Skaal over Solen; og det blev givet den at brænde Menneskene med Ild.
And the fourth angel poured out his cup on the sun; and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.
9 Og Menneskene brændtes i stor Hede og bespottede Guds Navn, som har Magt over disse Plager; og de omvendte sig ikke til at give ham Ære.
And men were scorched with great heat; and they uttered impious words against the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they repented not, that they might give him glory.
10 Og den femte Engel udgød sin Skaal over Dyrets Trone; og dets Rige blev formørket, og de tyggede deres Tunger af Pine.
And the fifth angel poured out his cup on the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was filled with darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain;
11 Og de bespottede Himmelens Gud for deres Piner og for deres Bylder; og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Gerninger.
and they spoke impiously against the God of heaven because of their pains, and because of their sores; and they repented not of their works.
12 Og den sjette Engel udgød sin Skaal over den store Flod Eufrat; og dens Vand borttørredes, for at Vejen kunde beredes for Kongerne fra Solens Opgang.
And the sixth angel poured out his cup on the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 Og jeg saa, at der af Dragens Mund og af Dyrets Mund og af den falske Profets Mund udgik tre urene Aander, som lignede Padder.
And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 Thi de ere Dæmoners Aander, som gøre Tegn; og de gaa ud til hele Jorderiges Konger for at samle dem til Krigen paa Guds, den almægtiges, store Dag.
For they are the spirits of demons that do signs, and they go forth to the kings of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 — Se, jeg kommer som en Tyv. Salig er den, som vaager og bevarer sine Klæder, saa han ikke skal gaa nøgen, og man skal se hans Skam. —
Behold, I come as a thief: blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, that he may not walk naked, and that men may not see his nakedness.
16 Og de samlede dem til det Sted, som kaldes paa Hebraisk Harmagedon.
And they brought them together into a place that is called, in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon.
17 Og den syvende Engel udgød sin Skaal i Luften; og fra Templet, fra Tronen udgik der en høj Røst, som sagde: Det er sket.
And the seventh angel poured out his cup into the air; and there came a great voice from the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying: It is done.
18 Og der kom Lyn og Røster og Tordener; og der blev et stort Jordskælv, hvis Mage ikke har været, siden der blev Mennesker til paa Jorden, et saadant Jordskælv, saa stort.
And there were lightnings and voices and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as has not been since men were on the earth, ―so great an earthquake, and so mighty.
19 Og den store Stad blev til tre Dele, og Folkeslagenes Stæder faldt; og Gud kom det store Babylon i Hu for at give det Bægeret med sin Vredes Harmes Vin.
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered before God, that he might give her the cup of the wine of his fiercest wrath.
20 Og hver Ø flyede, og Bjerge bleve ikke fundne.
And every island fled, and the mountains were not found.
21 Og en stærk Hagel, centnertung, faldt ned fra Himmelen paa Menneskene; og Menneskene bespottede Gud for Hagelens Plage, thi dens Plage var meget stor.
And great hail, every stone about the weight of a talent, fell from heaven upon men; and men spoke impiously against God, because of the plague of the hail: for the plague of it was very great.
