Aabenbaringen 5
1 ag jeg saa i hans højre Haand, som sad paa Tronen, en Bog, beskreven indeni og udenpaa, forseglet med syv Segl.
And I saw lying in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written on both sides and closely sealed with seven seals.
2 Og jeg saa en vældig Engel, som udraabte med høj Røst: Hvem er værdig til at aabne Bogen og bryde dens Segl?
And I saw a mighty angel who was exclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and break its seals?"
3 Og ingen i Himmelen, ej heller paa Jorden, ej heller under Jorden, formaaede at aabne Bogen eller at se i den.
But no one in Heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or look into it.
4 Og jeg græd saare, fordi ingen fandtes værdig til at aabne Bogen eller at se i den.
And while I was weeping bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the book or look into it,
5 Og en af de Ældste sagde til mig: Græd ikke! se, sejret har Løven af Judas Stamme, Davids Rodskud, saa han kan aabne Bogen og dens syv Segl.
one of the Elders said to me, "Do not weep. The Lion which belongs to the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed, and will open the book and break its seven seals."
6 Og jeg saa, midt imellem Tronen med de fire Væsener og de Ældste stod et Lam, ligesom slagtet: Det havde syv Horn og syv Øjne, hvilke ere de syv Guds Aander, som ere udsendte til hele Jorden.
Then, midway between the throne and the four living creatures, I saw a Lamb standing among the Elders. He looked as if He had been offered in sacrifice, and He had seven horns and seven eyes. The last-named are the seven Spirits of God, and have been sent far and wide into all the earth.
7 Og det kom og tog Bogen af hans højre Haand, som sad paa Tronen.
So He comes, and now He has taken the book out of the right hand of Him who is seated on the throne.
8 Og da det tog Bogen, faldt de fire Væsener og de fire og tyve Ældste ned for Lammet, holdende hver sin Harpe og Guldskaaler fyldte med Røgelse, som er de helliges Bønner.
And when He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four Elders fell down before the Lamb, having each of them a harp and bringing golden bowls full of incense, which represent the prayers of God's people.
9 Og de sang en ny Sang og sagde: Du er værdig til at tage Bogen og aabne dens Segl, fordi du blev slagtet og med dit Blod købte til Gud Mennesker af alle Stammer og Tungemaal og Folk og Folkeslag,
And now they sing a new song. "It is fitting," they say, "that Thou shouldst be the One to take the book And break its seals; Because Thou hast been offered in sacrifice, And hast purchased for God with Thine own blood Some out of every tribe and language and people and nation,
10 og du har gjort dem for vor Gud til et Kongerige og til Præster, og de skulle være Konger paa Jorden.
And hast formed them into a Kingdom to be priests to our God, And they reign over the earth."
11 Og jeg saa, og jeg hørte rundt om Tronen og Væsenerne og de Ældste en Røst af mange Engle, og deres Tal var Titusinder Gange Titusinder, og Tusinder Gange Tusinder,
And I looked, and heard what seemed to be the voices of countless angels on every side of the throne, and of the living creatures and the Elders. Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
12 og de sagde med høj Røst: Værdigt er Lammet, det slagtede, til at faa Kraften og Rigdom og Visdom og Styrke og Ære og Pris og Velsignelse!
and in loud voices they were singing, "It is fitting that the Lamb which has been offered in sacrifice should receive all power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."
13 Og hver Skabning, som er i Himmelen og paa Jorden og under Jorden og paa Havet, ja, alt, hvad der er i dem, hørte jeg sige: Ham, som sidder paa Tronen, og Lammet tilhører Velsignelsen og Æren og Prisen og Magten i Evighedernes Evigheder! (aiōn g165)
And as for every created thing in Heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and everything that was in any of these, I heard them say, "To Him who is seated on the throne, And to the Lamb, Be ascribed all blessing and honor And glory and might, Until the Ages of the Ages!" (aiōn g165)
14 Og de fire Væsener sagde: Amen! Og de Ældste faldt ned og tilbade.
Then the four living creatures said "Amen," and the Elders fell down and worshipped.
