Aabenbaringen 16
1 Og jeg hørte en stærk Røst fra Templet, som sagde til de syv Engle: gaaer hen og udgyder Guds Vredes Skaaler paa Jorden.2 Og den første gik hen og udgød sin Skaal paa Jorden, og der blev en ond og fordærvelig Byld paa de Mennesker, som havde Dyrets Mærke, og dem, som tilbade dets Billede.3 Og den anden Engel udgød sin Skaal i Havet, og det blev Blod som af en Myrdet, og hver levende Sjæl i Havet døde.4 Og den tredie Engel udgød sin Skaal i Floderne og Vandkilderne, og de bleve Blod.5 Og jeg hørte Vandenes Engel sige: retfærdig er du Herre! du, som er og som var, du Hellige, at du har udført denne Dom.6 Fordi de have udøst Helliges og Propheters Blod, har du og givet dem Blod at drikke; thi de ere det værd.7 Og jeg hørte en Anden fra Alteret, sige; ja Herre, Gud, du Almægtige! dine Domme ere sande og retfærdige.8 Og den fjerde Engel udgød sin Skaal i Solen; og den fik Magt at brænde Menneskene med Ild.9 Og Menneskene brændte i stor Hede og bespottede Guds Navn, som har Magt over disse Plager; og de omvendte sig ikke at give ham Ære.10 Og den femte Engel udgød sin Skaal paa Dyrets Throne; og dets Rige blev formørket, og de tyggede deres Tunger af Pine.11 Og de bespottede Himmelens Gud for deres Piner og for deres Bylder; og de omvendte sig ikke fra deres Gjerninger.12 Og den sjette Engel udgød sin Skaal i den store Flod Euphrates; og dens Vand borttørredes, paa det Veien skulde beredes for Kongerne fra Østen.13 Og jeg saae af Dragens Mund og af Dyrets Mund og af den falske Prophets Mund udkomme tre urene Aander, som lignede Padder.14 Thi de ere Djævelens Aander og gjøre Tegn; og de gaae ud til Jordens, ja hele Jorderiges Konger, at samle dem til Krigen pa Guds den Almægtiges hiin store Dag.15 See, jeg kommer som en Tyv. Salig er den, som vaager og bevarer sine Klæder, at han ikke skal gaae nøgen, og de skulle see hans Skam.16 Og de samlede dem til det Sted, som kaldes paa Hebraisk Harmagedon.17 Og den syvende Engel udgød sin Skaal i Luften; og en stærk Røst udgik fra Templet i Himmelen, fra Thronen, som sagde: det er skeet.18 Og der skete Røster og Tordener og Lyn; og der skete et stort Jordskælv, saadant som ikke er skeet fra den Tid, at Menneskene bleve til paa Jorden, et saadant Jordskælv, saa stort.19 Og den store Stad blev til tre Dele, og Hedningernes Stæder nedfaldt; og den store Babylon blev ihukommet for Gud, at han vilde skjenke hende med Vinen af sin strenge Vrede.20 Og hver Ø flyede, og Bjergene blev ikke fundne.21 Og en stor Hagel, centnertung, faldt ned fra Himmelen paa Menneskene; og Menneskene bespottede Gud for Hagelens Plage, thi dens Plage er meget stor.
Revelation 16
The Bowls of God’s Wrath
1 Thent I heard a loud voice from the temple declaring to the seven angels: “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.”t
2 Sot the first angelt went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Thent ugly and painful sorest appeared on the peoplet who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.
3 Next,t the second angelt poured out his bowl on the sea and it turned into blood, like that of a corpse, and every living creature that was in the sea died.
4 Thent the third angelt poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood.
5 Nowt I heard the angel of the waters saying:
“You are justt – the one who is and who was,
the Holy One – because you have passed these judgments,t
6 because they poured out the blood of your saints and prophets,
sot you have given them blood to drink. They got what they deserved!”t
7 Thent I heard the altar reply,t “Yes, Lord God, the All-Powerful,t your judgments are true and just!”
8 Thent the fourth angelt poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to scorch peoplet with fire.
9 Thust peoplet were scorched by the terrible heat,t yett they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authorityt over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.
10 Thent the fifth angelt poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast so thatt darkness covered his kingdom,t and peoplet began to bitet their tongues becauset of their pain.
11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their sufferingst and because of their sores,t but neverthelesst they still refused to repentt of their deeds.
12 Thent the sixth angelt poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its watert to prepare the wayt for the kings from the east.t13 Thent I saw three unclean spiritss that looked like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of the demons performing signs who go out to the kings of the eartht to bring them together for the battle that will take place on the great day of God, the All-Powerful.t
15 (Look! I will come like a thief!
Blessed is the one who stays alert and does not loset his clothes so that he will not have to walk around naked and his shameful conditiont be seen.)s
16 Nowt the spiritst gathered the kings and their armiest to the place that is called Armageddonst in Hebrew.
17 Finallyt the seventh angelt poured out his bowl into the air and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying: “It is done!”18 Thent there were flashes of lightning, roaring,t and crashes of thunder, and there was a tremendous earthquake – an earthquake unequaled since humanityt has been on the earth, so tremendous was that earthquake.19 Thet great city was split into three parts and the cities of the nationst collapsed.t Sot Babylon the great was remembered before God, and was given the cupt filled with the wine made of God’s furious wrath.t20 Everyt island fled awayt and no mountains could be found.s
21 And gigantic hailstones, weighing about a hundred poundst each, fell from heavent on people,t but theyt blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, since itt was so horrendous.t
