Revelation 5
1 I saw that there was a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. The scroll was written on its outside as well as on its inside, and it was sealed {Someone had written on the outside as well as on the inside of the scroll and sealed it} with seven seals.
ag jeg saa i hans højre Haand, som sad paa Tronen, en Bog, beskreven indeni og udenpaa, forseglet med syv Segl.
2 I saw a strong angel who was announcing in a loud voice, “(The person who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it should come to do it!/Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it?)” [RHQ]
Og jeg saa en vældig Engel, som udraabte med høj Røst: Hvem er værdig til at aabne Bogen og bryde dens Segl?
3 But no created being in heaven nor any created being on the earth nor any created being under the earth was able to open the scroll and see what was written on it.
Og ingen i Himmelen, ej heller paa Jorden, ej heller under Jorden, formaaede at aabne Bogen eller at se i den.
4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
Og jeg græd saare, fordi ingen fandtes værdig til at aabne Bogen eller at se i den.
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry any longer! Look, the one who is called the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Messiah who is the descendant of King David, has overcome Satan! As a result, he is worthy to break the seven seals on the scroll and open it!”
Og en af de Ældste sagde til mig: Græd ikke! se, sejret har Løven af Judas Stamme, Davids Rodskud, saa han kan aabne Bogen og dens syv Segl.
6 Then I saw Jesus, the one who is like a [MET] sacrificial lamb, standing there. He stood near the throne, in the midst of the four living creatures and the elders. It appeared that he had been killed {that people had killed him}, but he was alive again. He had seven horns [on his head], and he had seven eyes that symbolize the Spirit of God who has all kinds of power (OR, who is also symbolized as seven spirits). [He] sends [God’s] Spirit out into all the earth.
Og jeg saa, midt imellem Tronen med de fire Væsener og de Ældste stod et Lam, ligesom slagtet: Det havde syv Horn og syv Øjne, hvilke ere de syv Guds Aander, som ere udsendte til hele Jorden.
7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
Og det kom og tog Bogen af hans højre Haand, som sad paa Tronen.
8 When he took the scroll, the four living [creatures] and the 24 elders (prostrated themselves/knelt down) before [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, [to worship him]. They each had a harp, and they had golden bowls full of incense that [represents] the prayers of God’s people.
Og da det tog Bogen, faldt de fire Væsener og de fire og tyve Ældste ned for Lammet, holdende hver sin Harpe og Guldskaaler fyldte med Røgelse, som er de helliges Bønner.
9 The living [creatures] and the elders sang a new song. They sang: You are worthy to receive the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and because you redeemed/bought people for God from every tribe, language [MTY], people-group, and nation with the blood that flowed from your body when you died.
Og de sang en ny Sang og sagde: Du er værdig til at tage Bogen og aabne dens Segl, fordi du blev slagtet og med dit Blod købte til Gud Mennesker af alle Stammer og Tungemaal og Folk og Folkeslag,
10 You have caused them to become a people over whom our God rules, and to become priests who serve him, and they will rule on [MTY] the earth.
og du har gjort dem for vor Gud til et Kongerige og til Præster, og de skulle være Konger paa Jorden.
11 As I [continued to] look, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and around the living [creatures] and the elders. There were millions of them, a [crowd so large that no one could count them].
Og jeg saa, og jeg hørte rundt om Tronen og Væsenerne og de Ældste en Røst af mange Engle, og deres Tal var Titusinder Gange Titusinder, og Tusinder Gange Tusinder,
12 They were singing in a loud voice: “The one who is like a lamb was killed {whom his enemies killed} but he became alive again. He is worthy that all created beings acknowledge that he is infinitely powerful, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, and infinitely strong! He is worthy of being honored and praised by all created beings!”
og de sagde med høj Røst: Værdigt er Lammet, det slagtede, til at faa Kraften og Rigdom og Visdom og Styrke og Ære og Pris og Velsignelse!
13 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)
Og hver Skabning, som er i Himmelen og paa Jorden og under Jorden og paa Havet, ja, alt, hvad der er i dem, hørte jeg sige: Ham, som sidder paa Tronen, og Lammet tilhører Velsignelsen og Æren og Prisen og Magten i Evighedernes Evigheder! (aiōn g165)
14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
Og de fire Væsener sagde: Amen! Og de Ældste faldt ned og tilbade.
