Aabenbaringen 8
1 Og da det aabnede det syvende Segl, blev der Tavshed i Himmelen omtrent en halv Time.
And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 Og jeg saa de syv Engle, som staa for Guds Aasyn; og der blev givet dem syv Basuner.
And I saw the seven angels which stand before God; and there were given unto them seven trumpets.
3 Og en anden Engel kom og stillede sig ved Alteret med et Guldrøgelsekar, og der blev givet ham megen Røgelse, for at han skulde føje den til alle de helliges Bønner paa Guldalteret foran Tronen.
And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should add it unto the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 Og Røgen af Røgelsen steg op, med de helliges Bønner, fra Engelens Haand for Guds Aasyn.
And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.
5 Og Engelen tog Røgelsekarret og fyldte det med Ild fra Alteret og kastede den paa Jorden; og der kom Torden og Røster og Lyn og Jordskælv.
And the angel taketh the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Og de syv Engle, som havde de syv Basuner, gjorde sig rede til at basune.
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 Og den første basunede, og der kom Hagel og Ild, blandet med Blod, og blev kastet paa Jorden; og Tredjedelen af Jorden blev opbrændt, og alt grønt Græs opbrændtes.
And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 Og den anden Engel basunede, og det var, som et stort brændende Bjerg blev kastet i Havet; og Tredjedelen af Havet blev til Blod
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 Og Tredjedelen af de Skabninger i Havet, som havde Liv, døde; og Tredjedelen af Skibene blev ødelagt.
and there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, [even] they that had life; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.
10 Og den tredje Engel basunede, og fra Himmelen faldt der en stor Stjerne, brændende som en Fakkel, og den faldt paa Tredjedelen af Floderne og paa Vandkilderne.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the waters;
11 Og Stjernens Navn kaldes Malurt; og Tredjedelen af Vandene blev til Malurt, og mange af Menneskene døde af Vandene, fordi de vare blevne beske.
and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Og den fjerde Engel basunede, og Tredjedelen af Solen og Tredjedelen af Maanen og Tredjedelen af Stjernerne blev ramt, saa at Tredjedelen af dem blev formørket, og Dagen mistede Tredjedelen af sit Lys og Natten ligesaa.
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.
13 Og jeg saa, og jeg hørte en Ørn flyve midt oppe under Himmelen og sige med høj Røst: Ve, ve, ve dem, som bo paa Jorden, for de øvrige Basunrøster fra de tre Engle, som skulle basune.
And I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, for them that dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, who are yet to sound.
