Revelation 19
1 After this, I heard what seemed to be a great shout from a vast throng in Heaven, crying — ‘Hallelujah! To our God belong Salvation, and Glory, and Power,
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 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has passed judgment upon the Great Harlot who was corrupting the earth by her licentiousness, and he has taken vengeance upon her for the blood of his servants.’
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 Again they cried — ‘Hallelujah!’ And the smoke from her ruins rises for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
Og de sagde anden Gang: Halleluja! og Røgen fra hende opstiger i Evighedernes Evigheder. (aiōn g165)
4 Then the twenty-four Councillors and the Four Creatures prostrated themselves and worshiped God who was seated upon the throne, crying — ‘Amen, Hallelujah!’;
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 and from the throne there came a voice which said — ‘Praise our God all you who serve him, You who reverence him, both high and low.’
Og en Røst udgik fra Tronen og sagde: Lover vor Gud, alle hans Tjenere, I, som frygte ham, de smaa og de store!
6 Then I heard ‘what seemed to be the shout of a vast throng, like the sound of many waters,’ and like the sound of loud peals of thunder, crying — ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord is King, our God, the Almighty.
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 Let us rejoice and exalt; and we will pay him honour, for the hour for the Marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready.
Lader os glæde og fryde os og give ham Æren; thi Lammets Bryllup er kommet, og hans Brud har gjort sig rede.
8 And to her it has been granted to robe herself in fine linen, white and pure, for that linen is the good deeds of the People of Christ.’
Og det blev givet hende at iføre sig skinnende, rent Linklæde; thi Linklædet er de helliges Retfærdshandlinger.
9 Then a voice said to me ‘Write — “Blessed are those who have been summoned to the marriage feast of the Lamb.”’ And the voice said — ‘These words of God 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 prostrated myself at the feet of him who spoke to worship him, but he said to me — ‘Forbear; I am your fellow-servant, and the fellow-servant of your Brothers who bear their testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For to bear testimony to Jesus needs the inspiration of the Prophets.’
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 Then I saw that Heaven lay open. There appears a white horse; its rider is called ‘Faithful’ and ‘True’; righteously does he judge and make war.
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 are flaming fires; on his head there are many diadems, and he bears a name, written, which no one knows but himself;
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 he has been clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood; and the name by which he is called is ‘The Word of God.’
og han Var iført en Kappe, dyppet i Blod, og hans Navn kaldes: Guds Ord.
14 The armies of Heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
Og Hærene i Himmelen fulgte ham paa hvide Heste, iført hvidt, rent Linklæde.
15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which ‘to smite the nations; and he will rule them with an iron rod.’ He ‘treads the grapes in the press’ of the maddening wine of the Wrath of Almighty God;
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 and on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written — ‘KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.’
Og paa Kappen, paa sin Lænd har han et Navn skrevet: Kongers Konge og Herrers Herre.
17 Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He cried in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven — ‘Gather and come to the great feast of God,
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 to eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all freemen and slaves, and of high and low.’
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 the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight with him who sat on the horse and with 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 was captured, and with him was taken the false Prophet, who performed the marvels before the eyes of the Beast, with which he deceived those who had received the brand of the Beast and those who worshiped his image. Alive, they were thrown, both of them, into the fiery lake ‘of burning sulphur.’ (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rest were killed by the sword which came out of the mouth of him who rode upon the horse; and all the birds fed upon their flesh.
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.
