Revelation 8
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, as it were for half an hour.
Og da det aabnede det syvende Segl, blev der Tavshed i Himmelen omtrent en halv Time.
2 And I saw seven angels standing in the presence of God; and there were given to them seven trumpets.
Og jeg saa de syv Engle, som staa for Guds Aasyn; og der blev givet dem syv Basuner.
3 And another angel came, and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God.
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.
4 And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel.
Og Røgen af Røgelsen steg op, med de helliges Bønner, fra Engelens Haand for Guds Aasyn.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it on the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings, and a great earthquake.
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.
6 And the seven angels, who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound the trumpet.
Og de syv Engle, som havde de syv Basuner, gjorde sig rede til at basune.
7 And the first angel sounded the trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast on 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.
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.
8 And the second angel sounded the trumpet: and as it were a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood:
Og den anden Engel basunede, og det var, som et stort brændende Bjerg blev kastet i Havet; og Tredjedelen af Havet blev til Blod
9 And the third part of those creatures died, which had life in the sea, and the third part of the ships was destroyed.
Og Tredjedelen af de Skabninger i Havet, som havde Liv, døde; og Tredjedelen af Skibene blev ødelagt.
10 And the third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning as it were a torch, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters:
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.
11 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.
Og Stjernens Navn kaldes Malurt; og Tredjedelen af Vandene blev til Malurt, og mange af Menneskene døde af Vandene, fordi de vare blevne beske.
12 And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day did not shine for a third part of it, and the night in like manner.
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.
13 And I beheld, and heard the voice of one eagle flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice: Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth: by reason of the rest of the voices of the three angels, who are yet to sound the trumpet.
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.
