Aabenbaringen 16
1 Og jeg hørte en høj Røst fra Tempelet sige til de syv Engle: Går hen og udgyder Guds Harmes syv Skåle over Jorden!
Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary say to the seven angels, "Go and pour on to the earth the seven bowls of the anger of God."
2 Og den første gik hen og udgød sin Skål over Jorden, og der kom slemme og onde Bylder på de Mennesker, som havde Dyrets Mærke, og dem, som tilbade dets Billede.
So the first angel went away and poured his bowl on to the earth; and it brought a bad and painful sore upon the men who had on them the mark of the Wild Beast and worshipped his statue.
3 Og den anden Engel udgød sin Skål i Havet, og det blev til Blod som af en død; og hver levende Sjæl i Havet døde.
The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became blood, like a dead man's blood, and every living creature in the sea died.
4 Og den tredje Engel udgød sin Skål i Floderne og Vandkilderne, og de bleve til Blod.
The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
5 Og jeg hørte Vandenes Engel sige: Retfærdig er du, som er, og som var, du hellige, fordi du har fældet denne Dom;
And I heard the angel of the waters say, "Righteous art Thou, who art and wast, the holy One, because Thou hast thus taken vengeance.
6 thi de have udøst helliges og Profeters Blod, og du har givet dem Blod at drikke; de ere det værd.
For they poured out the blood of Thy people and of the Prophets, and in return Thou hast given them blood to drink. And this they deserved."
7 Og jeg hørte Alteret sige: Ja, Herre, Gud, du almægtige! sande og retfærdige ere dine Domme.
And I heard a voice from the altar say, "Even so, O Lord God, the Ruler of all, true and righteous are Thy judgments."
8 Og den fjerde Engel udgød sin Skål over Solen; og det blev givet den at brænde Menneskene med Ild.
Then the fourth angel poured his bowl on to the sun, and power was given to it to scorch men with fire.
9 Og Menneskene brændtes i stor Hede og bespottede Guds Navn, som har Magt over disse Plager; og de omvendte sig ikke til at give ham Ære.
And the men were severely burned; and yet they spoke evil of God who had power over the plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.
10 Og den femte Engel udgød sin Skål over Dyrets Trone; og dets Rige blev formørket, og de tyggede deres Tunger af Pine.
The fifth angel poured his bowl on to the throne of the Wild Beast; and his kingdom became darkened. People gnawed their tongues because of the pain,
11 Og de bespottede Himmelens Gud for deres Piner og for deres Bylder; og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Gerninger.
and they spoke evil of the God in Heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their misconduct.
12 Og den sjette Engel udgød sin Skål over den store Flod Eufrat; og dens Vand borttørredes, for at Vejen kunde beredes for Kongerne fra Solens Opgang.
The sixth angel poured his bowl into that great river, the Euphrates; and its stream was dried up in order to clear the way for the kings who are to come from the east.
13 Og jeg så, at der af Dragens Mund og af Dyrets Mund og af den falske Profets Mund udgik tre urene Ånder, som lignede Padder.
Then I saw three foul spirits, resembling frogs, issue from the mouth of the Dragon, from the mouth of the Wild Beast, and from the mouth of the false Prophet.
14 Thi de ere DæmonersÅnder, som gøre Tegn; og de gå ud til hele Jorderiges Konger for at samle dem til Krigen på Guds, den almægtiges, store Dag.
For they are the spirits of demons working marvels--spirits that go out to control the kings of the whole earth, to assemble them for the battle which is to take place on the great day of God, the Ruler of all.
15 - Se, jeg kommer som en Tyv Salig er den, som våger og bevarer sine Klæder, så han ikke skal gå nøgen, og man skal se hans Skam. -
("I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the man who keeps awake and guards his raiment for fear he walk about ill-clad, and his uncomeliness become manifest.")
16 Og de samlede dem til det Sted, som kaldes på Hebraisk Harmagedon.
And assemble them they did at the place called in Hebrew 'Har-Magedon.'
17 Og den syvende Engel udgød sin Skål i Luften; og fra Templet, fra Tronen udgik der en høj Røst, som sagde: Det er sket.
Then the seventh angel poured his bowl into the air; and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary from the throne, saying, "Everything is now ready."
18 Og der kom Lyn og Røster og Tordener; og der blev et stort Jordskælv, hvis Mage ikke har været, siden der blev Mennesker til på Jorden, et sådant Jordskælv, så stort.
Flashes of lightning followed, and voices, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake more dreadful than there had ever been since there was a man upon the earth--so terrible was it, and so great!
19 Og den store Stad blev til tre Dele, og Folkeslagenes Stæder faldt; og Gud kom det store Babylon i Hu for at give det Bægeret med sin Vredes Harmes Vin.
The great city was split into three parts; the cities of the nations fell; and great Babylon came into remembrance before God, for Him to make her drink from the wine-cup of His fierce anger.
20 Og hver Ø flyede, og Bjerge bleve ikke fundne.
Every island fled away, and there was not a mountain anywhere to be seen.
21 Og en stærk Hagl, centnertung, faldt ned fra Himmelen på Menneskene; og Menneskene bespottede Gud for Haglens Plage, thi dens Plage var meget stor.
And heavy hail, that seemed to be a talent in weight, fell from the sky upon the people; and they spoke evil of God on account of the plague of the hail--because the plague of it was exceedingly severe.
