Aabenbaringen 9
1 Og den femte Engel basunede, og jeg saa en Stjerne, som var falden ned fra Himmelen paa Jorden, og Nøglen til Afgrundens Brønd blev given den. (Abyssos g12)
And the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth: and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. (Abyssos g12)
2 Og den aabnede Afgrundens Brønd, og en Røg steg op af Brønden, lig Røgen af en stor Ovn; og Solen og Luften blev formørket af Røgen fra Brønden. (Abyssos g12)
And he opened the bottomless pit: and there came up smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Og fra Røgen udgik der Græshopper over Jorden, og der blev givet dem Magt, som Jordens Skorpioner have Magt.
And out of the smoke there came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, even as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 Og der blev sagt til dem, at de ikke maatte skade Græsset paa Jorden, ej heller noget grønt eller noget Træ, men kun de Mennesker, som ikke have Guds Segl paa deres Pander.
And order was given them, not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree; but only the men, who had not the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 Og det blev dem givet ikke at dræbe dem, men at pine dem i fem Maaneder; og Pinen, de voldte, var som Pinen af en Skorpion, naar den stikker et Menneske.
And to them was given power, not to kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it striketh a man.
6 Og i de Dage skulle Menneskene søge Døden og ikke finde den, og attraa at dø, og Døden flyr fra dem.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 Og Græshoppeskikkelserne lignede Heste, rustede til Krig, og paa deres Hoveder var der som Kroner, der lignede Guld, og deres Ansigter vare som Menneskers Ansigter,
And the resemblance of the locusts was like horses prepared for war; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces as the faces of men.
8 og de havde Haar som Kvinders Haar, og deres Tænder vare som Løvers,
And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 og de havde Pansere som Jernpansere; og Lyden af deres Vinger var som Lyd af Stridsvogne, naar mange Heste fare ud til Kamp.
And they had breast-plates like breast-plates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, with many horses running to battle.
10 Og de have Haler, som ligne Skorpioners, og Brodde, og i deres Haler ligger deres Magt til at skade Menneskene i fem Maaneder.
And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 De have Afgrundens Engel til Konge over sig; hans Navn er paa Hebraisk Abaddon, og paa Græsk har han Navnet Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
And they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Det første Ve er til Ende; se, der kommer endnu to Veer derefter.
Thus one wo is past, but behold two woes more are coming after.
13 Og den sjette Engel basunede, og jeg hørte en Røst fra de fire Horn paa Guldalteret, som staar for Guds Aasyn,
And the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a certain voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God,
14 sige til den sjette Engel, der havde Basunen: Løs de fire Engle, som ere bundne ved den store Flod Eufrat.
saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet, Let loose the four angels, that are bound by the great river Euphrates.
15 Og de fire Engle bleve løste, som til den Time og Dag og Maaned og Aar vare rede til at ihjelslaa Tredjedelen af Menneskene.
And the four angels were let loose; who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to kill the third part of men.
16 Og Tallet paa Rytterhærene var to Gange Titusinde Gange Titusinde; jeg hørte deres Tal.
And the number of their armies was two hundred millions: for I heard the number of them.
17 Og saaledes saa jeg Hestene i Synet og dem, som sade derpaa, hvilke havde ildrøde og sorteblaa og svovlgule Pansere; og Hestenes Hoveder vare som Løvers Hoveder, og af deres Munde udgik Ild og Røg og Svovl.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat on them, that is, having breast-plates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, and smoke, and brimstone.
18 Af disse tre Plager, af Ilden og Røgen og Svovlet, som udgik af deres Munde, blev Tredjedelen af Menneskene ihjelslaaet.
And by these three things, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which came out of their mouths, the third part of men were killed.
19 Thi Hestenes Magt er i deres Mund og i deres Haler; thi deres Haler ligne Slanger, have Hoveder, og med dem gøre de Skade.
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails also; for their tails are like serpents, having heads: and with these likewise they do mischief.
20 Og de øvrige Mennesker, som ikke bleve dræbte i disse Plager, omvendte sig ikke fra deres Hænders Gerninger, saa de lode være at tilbede de onde Aander og Afgudsbillederne af Guld og Sølv og Kobber og Sten og Træ, som hverken kunne se eller høre eller gaa;
And the rest of the men, who were not killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Myrden eller fra deres Trolddom eller fra deres Utugt eller fra deres Tyveri.
neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
