Revelation 20
1 I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had the key to the deep dark pit, and he was carrying a large chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
Og jeg saa en Engel stige ned fra Himmelen, han havde Afgrundens Nøgle og en stor Lænke i sin Haand. (Abyssos g12)
2 He seized the dragon. That dragon is the ancient serpent, the devil, that is, Satan. The angel bound him with the chain. That chain could not be loosed {[No one could loose] that chain} for 1,000 years.
Og han greb Dragen, den gamle Slange, som er Djævelen og Satan, og bandt ham for tusinde Aar
3 The angel threw him into the deep dark pit. He shut [the door of the pit], locked it, and sealed it [to prevent anyone from opening it]. He did that in order that Satan might no longer deceive [the people of the] nations [MTY], until those 1,000 years are ended. After that [time], Satan must be released {[God/God’s angel] must release Satan} for a short time [in order that he can do what God has planned]. (Abyssos g12)
og kastede ham i Afgrunden og lukkede og forseglede over ham, for at han ikke mere skulde forføre Folkeslagene, førend de tusinde Aar vare til Ende; derefter skal han løses en lille Tid. (Abyssos g12)
4 I saw thrones on which people were sitting. [They were given] {[God] gave those people} [authority] to judge [other people]. I also saw the souls [of people] whose heads had been {whose heads [others] had} cut off because of [their telling people about] Jesus and declaring God’s message. They were people who refused to worship the beast or its image, and who did not allow [the beast’s agents] to put the beast’s mark on them, either on their foreheads or on their hands. They became alive again, and they ruled with Christ [during those] 1,000 years.
Og jeg saa Troner, og de satte sig paa dem, og Dommermagt blev given dem; og jeg saa deres Sjæle, som vare halshuggede for Jesu Vidnesbyrds og for Guds Ords Skyld, og dem, som ikke havde tilbedet Dyret eller dets Billede og ikke havde taget Mærket paa deres Pande og paa deres Haand; og de bleve levende og bleve Konger med Kristus i tusinde Aar.
5 They were the ones who lived again the first time [that God caused dead people] to live again. The rest of [the believers who] had died did not live again until after those 1,000 years.
De øvrige af de døde bleve ikke levende, førend de tusinde Aar vare til Ende. Dette er den første Opstandelse.
6 ([God] will be pleased with/[How] happy will be) those who live again that first time. God will [consider] them holy. They will not die [PRS] a second time. Instead, they will be priests [who serve] God and Christ, and they will rule with [Christ] during those 1,000 years.
Salig og hellig er den, som har Del i den første Opstandelse; over disse har den anden Død ikke Magt, men de skulle være Guds og Kristi Præster og skulle være Konger med ham i de tusinde Aar.
7 When the 1,000 years are ended, Satan will be released {[God’s angel] will release Satan} from [the deep pit] in which he was imprisoned.
Og naar de tusinde Aar ere til Ende, skal Satan løses af sit Fængsel.
8 He will go out to deceive [rebellious] people in nations [IDM] all over the earth. [These are the nations that the prophet Ezekiel called] Gog and Magog. Satan will gather them to fight against [God’s people]. There will be [so many of them fighting against God’s people that no one will be able to count them] [SIM], just like [no one can count the grains of] sand on the ocean shore.
Og han skal gaa ud for at forføre Folkeslagene ved Jordens fire Hjørner, Gog og Magog, for at samle dem til Krig; deres Tal er som Havets Sand.
9 They will march over the whole earth and surround the camp of God’s people [in Jerusalem], the city that [God] loves. Then [God will send] fire down from heaven, and it will burn them up.
Og de droge frem over Jordens Flade og omringede de helliges Lejr og den elskede Stad. Og Ild faldt ned fra Himmelen fra Gud og fortærede dem.
10 The devil, who had deceived those people, will be thrown {[God’s angel] will throw the devil, who had deceived those people} into the lake of burning sulfur. [This is the same lake] into which both the beast and the false prophet had been [thrown] {[he] had [thrown] both the beast and the false prophet}. [As a result], they will continually suffer severely forever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
11 Then I saw a huge white throne on which [God] was sitting. He [was so awesome that] the earth and the sky disappeared from his presence completely; they were completely destroyed {[God] completely destroyed them}.
Og jeg saa en stor, hvid Trone og ham, som sad derpaa; for hans Aasyn flyede Jorden og Himmelen, og der blev ikke fundet Sted for dem.
12 I saw that the people who had died [but now lived again] were standing in front of the throne. [They included people of] every social status! The books [in which God records what people do] were opened {[God/God’s angel] opened the books [in which God records what people do]}. Another book was opened {[He] opened another book}, which is [called the Book] of Life, [in which God has written the names of people who have eternal life]. [God] judged the people who had died [and now lived again] according to what they had done, just like [he] had recorded it in the books.
Og jeg saa de døde, de store og de smaa, staaende for Tronen, og Bøger bleve aabnede; og en anden Bog blev aabnet, som er Livets Bog; og de døde bleve dømte efter det, som var skrevet i Bøgerne, efter deres Gerninger.
13 [The people whose bodies were buried in the] sea [became alive again in order to stand before God’s throne]. Everyone who had been buried on the land (OR, Every person who was waiting in the place where dead people stay) [became alive again, in order to stand before the throne]. [God] judged each one of them according to what each one had done. (Hadēs g86)
Og Havet afgav de døde, som vare i det; og Døden og Dødsriget afgave de døde, som vare i dem, og de bleve dømte, hver efter sine Gerninger. (Hadēs g86)
