Revelation of John 9

Og den femte Engel basusnede, og jeg så en Stjerne, som var falden ned fra Himmelen på Jorden, og Nøglen til Afgrundens Brønd blev given den.

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Og den åbnede Afgrundens Brønd, og en Røg steg op af Brønden, lig Røgen af en stor Ovn; og Solen og Luften blev formørket af Røgen fra Brønden.

And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Og fra Røgen udgik der Græshopper over Jorden, og der blev givet dem Magt, som Jordens Skorpioner have Magt.

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

Og der blev sagt til dem, at de ikke måtte skade Græsset på Jorden, ej heller noget grønt eller noget Træ, men kun de Mennesker, som ikke have Guds Segl på deres Pander.

And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Og det blev dem givet ikke at dræbe dem, men at pine dem i fem Måneder; og Pinen, de voldte, var som Pinen af en Skorpion, når den stikker et Menneske.

And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

Og i de Dage skulle Menneskene søge Døden og ikke finde den, og attrå at dø, og Døden flyr fra dem.

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

Og Græshoppeskikkelserne lignede Heste, rustede til Krig, og på deres Hoveder var der som Kroner, der lignede Guld, og deres Ansigter vare som Menneskers Ansigter,

And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

og de havde Hår som Kvinders Hår, og deres Tænder vare som Løvers,

And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

og de havde Pansere som Jernpansere; og Lyden af deres Vinger var som Lyd af Stridsvogne, når mange Heste fare ud til Kamp.

And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

Og de have Haler, som ligne Skorpioners, og Brodde, og i deres Haler ligger deres Magt til at skade Menneskene i fem Måneder.

And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

De have Afgrundens Engel til Konge over sig; hans Navn er på Hebraisk Abaddon, og på Græsk har han Navnet Apollyon.

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Det første Ve er til Ende; se, der kommer endnu to Veer derefter.

One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

Og den sjette Engel basunede, og jeg hørte en Røst fra de fire Horn på Guldalteret, som står for Guds Åsyn,

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

sige til den sjette Engel, der havde Basunen: Løs de fire Engle, som ere bundne ved den store Flod Eufrat.

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

Og de fire Engle bleve løste, som til den Time og Dag og Måned og År vare rede til at ihjelslå Tredjedelen af Menneskene.

And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

Og Tallet på Rytterhærene var to Gange Titusinde Gange Titusinde; jeg hørte deres Tal.

And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

Og således så jeg Hestene i Synet og dem, som sade derpå, hvilke havde ildrøde og sorteblå og svovlgule Pansere; og Hestenes Hoveder vare som Løvers Hoveder, og af deres Munde udgik Ild og Røg og Svovl.

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

Af disse tre Plager, af Ilden og Røgen og Svovlet, som udgik af deres Munde, blev Tredjedelen af Menneskene ihjelslået.'

By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

Thi Hestenes Magt er i deres Mund og i deres Haler; thi deres Haler ligne Slanger, have Hoveder, og med dem gøre de Skade.

For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

Og de øvrige Mennesker, som ikke bleve dræbte i disse Plager, omvendte sig ikke fra deres Hænders Gerninger, så de lode være at tilbede de onde Ånder og Afgudsbillederne af Guld og Sølv og Kobber og Sten og Træ, som hverken kunne se eller høre eller gå;

And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Myrden eller fra deres Trolddom eller fra deres Utugt eller fra deres Tyveri.

Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
