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 loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go, and pour out the seven vials 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 departed, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and who worshipped 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 poured out his vial into the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man, and every living thing died, that was in the sea.
4 Og den tredje Engel udgød sin Skaal i Floderne og Vandkilderne, og de bleve til Blod.
And the third poured out his vial into the rivers and 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, Righteous art thou, who art and wast holy, because thou hast judged thus;
6 thi de have udøst helliges og Profeters Blod, og du har givet dem Blod at drikke; de ere det værd.
for they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; they deserve it.
7 Og jeg hørte Alteret sige: Ja, Herre, Gud, du almægtige! sande og retfærdige ere dine Domme.
And I heard the altar saying, Even so, Lord God Almighty! true and righteous 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 poured out his vial upon the sun; and it was given to it 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 men blasphemed the name of God, who had the power over these plagues; and they repented not, to 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 poured out his vial upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 Og de bespottede Himmelens Gud for deres Piner og for deres Bylder; og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Gerninger.
and blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and because of their sores; and they repented not of their deeds.
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 poured out his vial upon the great river, the Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun 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 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, three unclean spirits like frogs;
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, working signs, which go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God l 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 watcheth, and keepeth his garments, that he may not walk naked, and his shame be seen.
16 Og de samlede dem til det Sted, som kaldes paa Hebraisk Harmagedon.
And he gathered them together into the place called in the Hebrew tongue, Harmegedon.
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 poured out his vial upon the air; and there came forth a loud voice from the temple, 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 followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and there was a great earthquake, such as there was not since there was a man upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
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, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 Og hver Ø flyede, og Bjerge bleve ikke fundne.
And every island fled away, and no mountains were 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 there came down from heaven upon men a great storm of hail, every stone weighing about a talent; and men blasphemed God on account of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
