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 messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss, (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 did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from 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 came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,
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 it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but — the men only who have not the seal of God upon 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 it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment [is] as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike 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 the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the 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 likenesses of the locusts [are] like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men,
8 og de havde Haar som Kvinders Haar, og deres Tænder vare som Løvers,
and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as [those] 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 breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings [is] as the noise of chariots of 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 have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority [is] to injure 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 have over them a king — the messenger of the abyss — a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Det første Ve er til Ende; se, der kommer endnu to Veer derefter.
The first woe did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.
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 messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that 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 messenger who had the trumpet, 'Loose the four messengers who are bound at 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 loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men;
16 Og Tallet paa Rytterhærene var to Gange Titusinde Gange Titusinde; jeg hørte deres Tal.
and the number of the forces of the horsemen [is] two myriads of myriads, and 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 sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [are] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth 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.
by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth,
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 authorities are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they do injure;
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 men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk,
21 og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Myrden eller fra deres Trolddom eller fra deres Utugt eller fra deres Tyveri.
yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.
