Revelation 8
1 And, as soon as he opened the seventh seal, there came to be silence in heaven, as it were half an hour.
Og da det åbnede det syvende Segl, blev der Tavshed i Himmelen omtrent en halv Time.
2 And I saw the seven messengers which, before God, do stand; and there were given unto them seven trumpets.
Og jeg så de syv Engle, som stå for Guds Åsyn; og der blev givet dem syv Basuner.
3 And, another messenger, came, and took his stand at the altar, having a censer of gold: and there was given unto him much incense, that he might give [it] unto the prayers of all the saints, upon the altar of gold that is before the throne.
Og en anden Engel kom og stillede sig ved Alteret med et Guldrøgelsekar, og der blev givet ham megen Røgelse, for at han skulde føje den til alle de helliges Bønner på Guldalteret foran Tronen.
4 And the smoke of the incense went up, with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the messenger before God.
Og Røgen af Røgelsen steg op, med de helliges Bønner, fra Engelens Hånd før Guds Åsyn.
5 And the messenger at once took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast unto the earth; and there came to be thunderings, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Og Engelen tog Røgelsekarret og fyldte det med Ild fra Alteret og kastede den på Jorden; og der kom Torden og Røster og Lyn og Jordskælv.
6 And, the seven messengers who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves, that they might sound.
Og de syv Engle, som havde de syv Basuner, gjorde sig rede til at basune.
7 And, the first, sounded; and there came to be hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast unto the earth; and, the third of the earth, was burned up, and, the third of the trees, was burned up, and, all green herbage, was burned up.
Og den første basunede, og der kom Hagl og Ild, blandet med Blød, og blev kastet på Jorden; og Tredjedelen af Jorden blev opbrændt, og alt grønt Græs opbrændtes.
8 And, the second messenger, sounded; and, as it were a great mountain burning with fire, was cast into the sea; and the third of the sea became blood,
Og den anden 'Engel basunede, og det var, som et stort brændende Bjerg blev kastet i Havet; og Tredjedelen af Havet blev til Blod.
9 and the third of the creatures which were in the sea, which had life, died, the third of the ships, was destroyed.
Og Tredjedelen af de Skabninger i Havet, som havde Liv, døde; og Tredjedelen af Skibene blev ødelagt.
10 And, the third messenger, sounded; and there fell, out of heaven, a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters.
Og den tredje Engel basunede, og fra Himmelen faldt der en stor Stjerne, brændende som en Fakkel, og den faldt på Tredjedelen al Floderne og på Vandkilderne.
11 And, the name of the star, is called Wormwood; and the third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Og Stjernens Navn kaldes Malurt; og Tredjedelen af Vandene blev til Malurt, og mange af Menneskene døde af Vandene, fordi de vare blevne beske.
12 And, the fourth messenger, sounded; and the third of the sun was smitten, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, —in order that the third of them might be darkened, and the day might not shine for the third of it, and the night, in like manner.
Og den fjerde Engel basunede, og Tredjedelen af Solen og Tredjedelen af Månen og Tredjedelen af Stjernerne blev ramt, så at Tredjedelen af dem blev formørket, og Dagen mistede Tredjedelen af sit Lys og Natten ligeså.
13 And I saw, and I heard one eagle, flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice—Woe! woe! woe! unto them that are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the remaining voices of the trumpet, of the three messengers who are about to sound.
Og jeg så, og jeg hørte en Ørn flyve midt oppe under Himmelen og sige med høj Røst: Ve, ve, ve dem, som bo på Jorden, for de øvrige Basunrøster fra de tre Engle, som skulle basune.
