Aabenbaringen 7
1 Og derefter saa jeg fire Engle staa paa Jordens fire Hjørner; de holdt Jordens fire Vinde, for at ingen Vind skulde blæse over Jorden, ej heller over Havet, ej heller over noget Træ.
And after these things, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind might not blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree.
2 Og jeg saa en anden Engel stige op fra Solens Opgang med den levende Guds Segl; og han raabte med høj Røst til de fire Engle, hvem det var givet at skade Jorden og Havet, og sagde:
And I saw another angel which ascended from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Skader ikke Jorden, ej heller Havet, ej heller Træerne, førend vi have beseglet vor Guds Tjenere paa deres Pander.
saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
4 Og jeg hørte Tallet paa de beseglede, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Tusinde beseglede af alle Israels Børns Stammer:
And I heard the number of those that were sealed; and there were an hundred forty and four thousand sealed out of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Af Judas Stamme tolv Tusinde beseglede, af Rubens Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Gads Stamme tolv Tusinde,
Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand:
6 af Asers Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Nafthalis Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Manasses Stamme tolv Tusinde,
of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand:
7 af Simeons Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Levis Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Isaskars Stamme tolv Tusinde,
of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand:
8 af Sebulons Stamme tolv Tusinde, af Josefs Stamme tolv Tusinde og af Benjamins Stamme tolv Tusinde beseglede.
of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 Derefter saa jeg, og se en stor Skare, som ingen kunde tælle, af alle Folkeslag og Stammer og Folk og Tungemaal, som stod for Tronen og for Lammet, iførte lange hvide Klæder og med Palmegrene i deres Hænder;
After this I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no one could number, out of all nations, and tribes, and people, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and with palms in their hands;
10 og de raabte med høj Røst og sagde: Frelsen tilhører vor Gud, som sidder paa Tronen, og Lammet!
and crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation be ascribed to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
11 Og alle Englene stode rundt om Tronen og om de Ældste og om de fire Væsener og faldt ned for Tronen paa deres Ansigt og tilbade Gud og sagde:
And all the angels stood round the throne, and round the elders, and the four animate beings; and fell on their faces before the throne, and worshipped God, saying, Amen:
12 Amen! Velsignelsen og Prisen og Visdommen og Taksigelsen og Æren og Kraften og Styrken tilhører vor Gud i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
13 Og en af de Ældste tog til Orde og sagde til mig: Disse, som ere iførte de lange hvide Klæder, hvem ere de? og hvorfra ere de komne?
And one of the elders said unto me, Who are these that are clothed in white robes, and from whence did they come?
14 Og jeg sagde til ham: Min Herre! du ved det. Og han sagde til mig: Det er dem, som komme ud af den store Trængsel, og de have tvættet deres Klæder og gjort dem hvide i Lammets Blod.
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Derfor ere de foran Guds Trone og tjene ham Dag og Nat i hans Tempel; og han, som sidder paa Tronen, skal opslaa sit Telt over dem.
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in his temple: and He that sitteth upon the throne shall dwell among them.
16 De skulle ikke hungre mere, ej heller tørste mere, ej heller skal Solen eller nogen Hede falde paa dem.
They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more, nor shall the sun nor any violent heat fall upon them.
17 Thi Lammet, som er midt for Tronen, skal vogte dem og lede dem til Livets Vandkilder; og Gud skal aftørre hver Taare af deres Øjne.
For the Lamb, that is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them, and shall lead them to fountains of living waters: and God will wipe off every tear from their eyes.
