Revelation 19
1 After these things I heard [what sounded] like a huge crowd in heaven. They were shouting things like, “(Hallelujah!/Praise our God!)” “He has saved us!” “He is glorious and mighty!”
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 “Praise him because he judges truly and justly!” “He has punished the very evil cities that are like a prostitute, because their people persuaded the other people of earth [MTY] to act immorally and idolatrously like they do.” “Praise him because he has punished them for murdering his servants [MTY]!”
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 [The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
Og de sagde anden Gang: Halleluja! og Røgen fra hende opstiger i Evighedernes Evigheder. (aiōn g165)
4 The 24 elders and the four living [creatures] (prostrated themselves/knelt down) and worshipped God, who sits on the throne. Then they said, “[It] is true! (Hallelujah!/Praise God!)”
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 Someone spoke from the throne and said, “All you who are our God’s servants, praise him! All you who reverence him, [whether you are socially] significant or insignificant, praise him! [Everyone]!”
Og en Røst udgik fra Tronen og sagde: Lover vor Gud, alle hans Tjenere, I, som frygte ham, de smaa og de store!
6 I heard something like the noise of a huge crowd [of people], like the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water), and like the sound of loud thunder. They were shouting: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) Because the Lord God, the Almighty One, reigns!
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 We should rejoice, we should be extremely glad, and we should honor him, because it is now time for Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, to be united permanently with his people, which will be like a man [MET] marrying his bride, and because those who belong to him have prepared themselves to be united with him.
Lader os glæde og fryde os og give ham Æren; thi Lammets Bryllup er kommet, og hans Brud har gjort sig rede.
8 God has permitted them to be completely pure, like a bride who [MET] dresses in fine linen that is bright and clean. Fine [bright and clean] linen represents the righteous acts of God’s people.
Og det blev givet hende at iføre sig skinnende, rent Linklæde; thi Linklædet er de helliges Retfærdshandlinger.
9 Then the angel said to me, “Write [this: God will abundantly] bless the people who are {whom [he] has} invited to the feast [that celebrates Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, [permanently uniting with his people, like someone] [MET] [marrying a wife].” He also said [to me]: “These words that God [declares] are true!”
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 I [immediately] (prostrated myself/knelt down) at his feet in order to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not [worship me]! I am [just] your [(sg)] fellow servant and the fellow servant of your [(sg)] fellow believers who tell people about Jesus. God is the one whom you should worship, because it is the Spirit of God who gives people the power to tell others about Jesus (OR, [those who tell others about] Jesus are [truly] declaring [the words that the Spirit of God has given them])!”
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 [In the vision] I saw heaven opened {open}, and I was surprised to see a white horse. [Jesus], the one who was riding on the horse, is called ‘Trustworthy and Genuine/True’. He judges [all people according to] what is right, and fights righteously [against his enemies].
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 His eyes [shone like] [MET] a flame of fire. There were many royal crowns on his head. A name had been written [on him]. Only he knows [the meaning of that name].
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 The robe he was wearing was drenched with blood. His name is [also] “(The one who expresses what God is like/The Word of God).”
og han Var iført en Kappe, dyppet i Blod, og hans Navn kaldes: Guds Ord.
14 The armies of heaven were following him. [They were also] riding on white horses. They were wearing clothes [made of] clean white linen.
Og Hærene i Himmelen fulgte ham paa hvide Heste, iført hvidt, rent Linklæde.
15 [The words] that Jesus speaks [are like] [MTY] a sharp sword with which he will strike [the rebellious people of] the nations. He himself will rule them [powerfully, as though he had] [MET] an iron rod. He will crush [his enemies just like] [MET] [a person crushes grapes in a] winepress. [He will do this for] God Almighty, who is extremely angry [with them because of their sins].
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 On his cloak close to his thigh a name had been written {[he] had written a name}, which is “King who [rules over all other] kings and Lord who [rules over all other] lords.”
Og paa Kappen, paa sin Lænd har han et Navn skrevet: Kongers Konge og Herrers Herre.
17 I saw an angel who was standing in [the light of] [MTY] the sun. He called loudly to all the [flesh-eating] birds flying high in the sky, “Come and gather for the wonderful feast that God [is providing for you]!
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 [Come] and eat the flesh of all [God’s enemies who are dead—] the flesh of kings, army commanders, [people who fought] powerfully, horses and the [soldiers] who rode them, [and the flesh of all other kinds of people], whether [they were] free or slaves, [socially] insignificant or significant. [All kinds]!”
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 Then I saw the beast and the kings of earth with their armies gathered together to fight against the Rider on the horse, and against 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 The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rider on the horse killed the rest [of their armies] just by [speaking words], [which were like] [MTY] a sword that extended from his mouth. All those birds gorged themselves on the flesh of [the people whom he had killed].
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.
