Revelation 16
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven messengers, “Go away, and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God into the earth”;
Og jeg hørte en høj Røst fra Tempelet sige til de syv Engle: Går hen og udgyder Guds Harmes syv Skåle over Jorden!
2 and the first went away, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and there came a sore—bad and grievous—to men, those having the mark of the beast, and those worshiping his image.
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.
3 And the second messenger poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of [one] dead, and every living soul in the sea died.
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.
4 And the third messenger poured out his bowl into the rivers, and into the fountains of the waters, and there came blood,
Og den tredje Engel udgød sin Skål i Floderne og Vandkilderne, og de bleve til Blod.
5 and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying, “Righteous, O LORD, are You, who is, and who was, [[and who will be, ]] the Holy [One], because You judged these things,
Og jeg hørte Vandenes Engel sige: Retfærdig er du, som er, og som var, du hellige, fordi du har fældet denne Dom;
6 because they poured out [the] blood of holy ones and prophets, and You gave to them blood to drink, for they are worthy”;
thi de have udøst helliges og Profeters Blod, og du har givet dem Blod at drikke; de ere det værd.
7 and I heard another out of the altar, saying, “Yes, LORD God, the Almighty, true and righteous [are] Your judgments.”
Og jeg hørte Alteret sige: Ja, Herre, Gud, du almægtige! sande og retfærdige ere dine Domme.
8 And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire,
Og den fjerde Engel udgød sin Skål over Solen; og det blev givet den at brænde Menneskene med Ild.
9 and men were scorched with great heat, and they slandered the Name of God, who has authority over these plagues, and they did not convert—to give to Him glory.
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.
10 And the fifth messenger poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain,
Og den femte Engel udgød sin Skål over Dyrets Trone; og dets Rige blev formørket, og de tyggede deres Tunger af Pine.
11 and they slandered the God of Heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not convert from their works.
Og de bespottede Himmelens Gud for deres Piner og for deres Bylder; og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Gerninger.
12 And the sixth messenger poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates, and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready;
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.
13 and I saw [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs—
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.
14 for they are spirits of demons, doing signs—which go forth to the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty.
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.
15 (“Behold, I come as a thief; blessed [is] he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness.”)
- 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. -
16 And they brought them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.
Og de samlede dem til det Sted, som kaldes på Hebraisk Harmagedon.
17 And the seventh messenger poured out his bowl on the air, and there came forth a great voice from the temple of Heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
Og den syvende Engel udgød sin Skål i Luften; og fra Templet, fra Tronen udgik der en høj Røst, som sagde: Det er sket.
18 And there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as has not come since men came on the earth, so mighty an earthquake—so great!
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.
19 And it came—the great city—into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger,
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.
20 and every island fled away, and mountains were not found,
Og hver Ø flyede, og Bjerge bleve ikke fundne.
21 and great hail (as of talent weight) comes down out of the sky on men, and men slandered God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great.
Og en stærk Hagl, centnertung, faldt ned fra Himmelen på Menneskene; og Menneskene bespottede Gud for Haglens Plage, thi dens Plage var meget stor.
