Apenbaring 20
1 Etter dette fikk jeg se en engel komme ned fra himmelen. Han hadde nøkkelen til den bunnløse avgrunnen og en tung kjetting i hånden. (Abyssos g12)
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)
2 Han grep dragen, den gamle slangen, som er djevelen eller Satan, og bandt ham for 1 000 år.
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.
3 Så kastet engelen ham ned i den bunnløse avgrunnen og låste og forseglet den med et segl, slik at han ikke kunne bedra folkene før de 1 000 årene hadde gått. Etter det må han bli sluppet ut igjen for en kort periode. (Abyssos g12)
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)
4 Jeg så også troner. På dem satte noen seg som hadde fått retten til å dømme. Disse som jeg så, var sjelene til de menneskene som hadde blitt halshugget fordi de spredde Guds budskap om Jesus. De hadde ikke tilbedt udyret, bildet av udyret eller tatt imot merke av udyret i sine panner eller på hendene. Disse menneskene fikk liv igjen og regjerte med Kristus, den lovede kongen, i 1 000 år.
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.
5 Resten av de døde ble ikke levende igjen før de 1 000 årene var ute. Dette er den første oppstandelsen.
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.
6 Lykkelige er de som tilhører Gud og får være med i den første oppstandelsen. Den andre døden kan ikke skade dem, men de skal være prester som tjener Gud og Kristus, den lovede kongen, og skal regjere med ham i 1 000 år.
([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.
7 Når de 1 000 årene er ute, skal Satan bli sluppet løs av sitt fengsel.
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.
8 Han skal gå ut og bedra folk fra alle jordens hjørner, de som blir kalt Gog og Magog, og samle dem til kamp. De skal være tallrike som sanden i havet.
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.
9 Jeg så hvordan de dro fram over hele jorden og omringet den byen som Gud elsker, det stedet der menneskene som tilhører Gud, hadde samlet seg. Ild fra himmelen falt ned og utslettet dem.
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.
10 Djevelen som fortsatte sitt bedrag, ble kastet ned i den samme sjøen av ild og svovel som udyret og den falske profeten hadde blitt. Der skal de bli plaget dag og natt i all evighet. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
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 Jeg så en stor hvit trone og ham som sitter på den. Da han sto fram, forsvant jorden og himmelen, de var ikke mer.
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}.
12 Jeg så også de døde, både fine mennesker og vanlige folk. De sto for Gud, og bøker ble åpnet. Også en annen bok ble åpnet. Det var livets bok. De døde ble dømt etter det som sto i de første bøkene, for der var alle gjerningene deres skrevet ned.
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.
13 Havet ga tilbake de døde som var i det. Dødens rike ga tilbake de døde som var i det. Hver og en ble dømt etter sine gjerninger. (Hadēs g86)
[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)
