< Revelation 19 >
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of a great multitude in Heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! The salvation, and the glory, and the power [belong] to the LORD our God;
Derefter hørte jeg ligesom en høj Røst af en stor Skare i Himmelen, som sagde: Halleluja! Frelsen og Herligheden og Kraften tilhører vor Gud.
2 because true and righteous [are] His judgments, because He judged the great whore who corrupted the earth in her whoredom, and He avenged the blood of His servants at her hand”;
Thi sande og retfærdige ere hans Domme, at han har dømt den store Skøge, som fordærvede Jorden med sin Utugt, og krævet sine Tjeneres Blod af hendes Haand.
3 and a second time they said, “Hallelujah”; and her smoke comes up through the ages of the ages! (aiōn )
Og de sagde anden Gang: Halleluja! og Røgen fra hende opstiger i Evighedernes Evigheder. (aiōn )
4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and they worshiped God who is sitting on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
Og de fire og tyve Ældste og de fire levende Væsener faldt ned og tilbade Gud, som sad paa Tronen, og de sagde: Amen! Halleluja!
5 And a voice out of the throne came forth, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants, and those fearing Him, both the small and the great”;
Og en Røst udgik fra Tronen og sagde: Lover vor Gud, alle hans Tjenere, I, som frygte ham, de smaa og de store!
6 and I heard as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, “Hallelujah! Because our Lord, the God, the Almighty, has reigned!
Og jeg hørte som en Røst af en stor Skare og som en Lyd af mange Vande og som en Lyd af stærke Tordener, der sagde: Halleluja! thi Herren, Gud, den almægtige, har tiltraadt Kongedømmet.
7 May we rejoice and exult, and give the glory to Him, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready;
Lader os glæde og fryde os og give ham Æren; thi Lammets Bryllup er kommet, og hans Brud har gjort sig rede.
8 and there was given to her that she may be clothed with fine linen, pure and radiant, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the holy ones.”
Og det blev givet hende at iføre sig skinnende, rent Linklæde; thi Linklædet er de helliges Retfærdshandlinger.
9 And he says to me, “Write: Blessed [are] they who have been called to the banquet of the marriage of the Lamb”; and he says to me, “These [are] the true words of God”;
Og han siger til mig: Skriv: Salige ere de, som ere budne til Lammets Bryllups-Nadvere! Og han siger til mig: Disse ere de sande Guds Ord.
10 and I fell before his feet to worship him, and he says to me, “Behold—No! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers, those having the testimony of Jesus; worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of the prophecy.”
Og jeg faldt ned for hans Fødder for at tilbede ham, og han siger til mig: Gør det ikke! Jeg er din Medtjener og dine Brødres, som have Jesu Vidnesbyrd; tilbed Gud! thi Jesu Vidnesbyrd er Profetiens Aand.
11 And I saw Heaven having been opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who is sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war,
Og jeg saa Himmelen aaben, og se en hvid Hest, og han, som sad paa den, kaldes trofast og sanddru, og han dømmer og kæmper med Retfærdighed.
12 and His eyes [are] as a flame of fire, and on His head [are] many crowns—having a Name written that no one has known, except Himself,
Men hans Øjne vare Ildslue, og paa hans Hoved var der mange Kroner; han havde et Navn skrevet, hvilket ingen kender, uden han selv;
13 and He is clothed with a garment covered with blood, and His Name is called, The Word of God.
og han Var iført en Kappe, dyppet i Blod, og hans Navn kaldes: Guds Ord.
14 And the armies in Heaven were following Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen—white and pure;
Og Hærene i Himmelen fulgte ham paa hvide Heste, iført hvidt, rent Linklæde.
15 and out of His mouth proceeds a sharp sword, that with it He may strike the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron, and He treads the press of the wine of the wrath and the anger of God the Almighty,
Og af hans Mund udgik der et skarpt Sværd, for at han dermed skulde slaa Folkeslagene; og han skal vogte dem med en Jernstav, og han skal træde Guds, den almægtiges, Vredes Harmes Vinperse.
16 and He has on the garment and on His thigh the name written: “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Og paa Kappen, paa sin Lænd har han et Navn skrevet: Kongers Konge og Herrers Herre.
17 And I saw one messenger standing in the sun, and he cried [with] a great voice, saying to all the birds that are flying in midair, “Come and be gathered together to the banquet of the great God [[or the great banquet of God]],
Og jeg saa en Engel staaende i Solen, og han raabte med høj Røst og sagde til alle Fugle, som flyve midt oppe under Himmelen: Kommer og samler eder til Guds store Nadvere
18 that you may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of chiefs of thousands, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses, and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all—freemen and servants—both small and great.”
for at æde Kød af Konger og Kød af Krigsøverster og Kød af vældige og Kød af Heste og af dem, som sidde paa dem, og Kød af alle, baade frie og Trælle, smaa og store.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, having been gathered together to make war with Him who is sitting on the horse, and with His army;
Og jeg saa Dyret og Jordens Konger og deres Hære samlede for at føre Krig imod ham, som sad paa Hesten, og imod hans Hær.
20 and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, in which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast, and those who worshiped his image; the two were cast living into the lake of the fire that is burning with brimstone; (Limnē Pyr )
Og Dyret blev grebet og med det den falske Profet, som havde gjort Tegnene for dets Aasyn, hvormed han havde forført dem, som toge Dyrets Mærke, og dem, som tilbade dets Billede; de bleve begge kastede levende i Ildsøen, som brænder med Svovl. (Limnē Pyr )
21 and the rest were killed with the sword of Him who is sitting on the horse, which is proceeding out of His mouth, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
Og de andre bleve ihjelslaaede med hans Sværd, som sad paa Hesten, det, der udgik af hans Mund, og alle Fuglene bleve mættede af deres Kød.
