Aabenbaringen 7
1 Og derefter så jeg fire Engle stå på Jordens fire Hjørner; de holdt ordens 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, to hold back the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, neither on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 Og jeg så en anden Engel stige op fra Solens Opgang med den levende Guds Segl; og han råbte med høj Røst til de fire Engle, hvem det var givet at skade Jorden og Havet, og sagde:
And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom power was given for them to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Skader ikke Jorden, ej heller Havet, ej heller Træerne, førend vi have beseglet vor Guds Tjenere på deres Pander.
saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 Og jeg hørte Tallet på de beseglede, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Tusinde beseglede af alle Israels Børns Stammer:
And I heard the number of those who were sealed; one hundred and forty and four thousand were sealed out of every tribe 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 Nephtalim 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 Issakars 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 Zebulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 Derefter så jeg, og se en stor Skare, som ingen kunde tælle, af alle Folkeslag og Stammer og Folk og Tungemål, som stod for Tronen og for Lammet, iførte lange, hvide Klæder og med Palmegrene i deres Hænder;
After these things I looked, and beheld a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation, and tribe, and people, and tongue, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands
10 og de råbte med høj Røst og sagde: Frelsen tilhører vor Gud, som sidder på Tronen, og Lammet!
and crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God that sitteth on 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 på deres Ansigt og tilbade Gud og sagde:
And all the angels stood in a circle about the throne, and the presbyters and the four living beings, and fell on their faces before the throne, and worshipped God,
12 Amen! Velsignelsen og Prisen og Visdommen og Taksigelsen og Æren og Kraften og Styrken tilhører vor Gud i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might be 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 presbyters addressed me, saying, Who are these persons who are clothed in white robes? and from whence came they?
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 to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are persons who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made their robes 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 på Tronen, skal opslå sit Telt over dem.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 De skulle ikke hungre mere, ej heller tørste mere, ej heller skal Solen eller nogen Hede falde på dem.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun scorch them, nor any burning heat.
17 Thi Lammet, som er midt for Tronen, skal vogte dem og lede dem til Livets Vandkilder; og Gud skal aftørre hver Tåre af deres Øjne.
Because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, as a shepherd, and lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
