¹When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

¹Og da det åbnede det syvende Segl, blev der Tavshed i Himmelen omtrent en halv Time.

²I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

²Og jeg så de syv Engle, som stå for Guds Åsyn; og der blev givet dem syv Basuner.

³Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.

³Og 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.

⁴The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.

⁴Og Røgen af Røgelsen steg op, med de helliges Bønner, fra Engelens Hånd før Guds Åsyn.

⁵The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake.

⁵Og 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.

⁶The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

⁶Og de syv Engle, som havde de syv Basuner, gjorde sig rede til at basune.

⁷The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, TR omits “One third of the earth was burnt up” and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

⁷Og 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.

⁸The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,

⁸Og den anden 'Engel basunede, og det var, som et stort brændende Bjerg blev kastet i Havet; og Tredjedelen af Havet blev til Blod.

⁹and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.

⁹Og Tredjedelen af de Skabninger i Havet, som havde Liv, døde; og Tredjedelen af Skibene blev ødelagt.

¹⁰The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of the waters.

¹⁰Og 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.

¹¹The name of the star is called “Wormwood.” One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

¹¹Og Stjernens Navn kaldes Malurt; og Tredjedelen af Vandene blev til Malurt, og mange af Menneskene døde af Vandene, fordi de vare blevne beske.

¹²The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that one third of them would be darkened, and the day wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.

¹²Og 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.

¹³I saw, and I heard an eagle, TR reads “angel” instead of “eagle” flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe for those who dwell on the earth, because of the other voices of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound!”

¹³Og 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.
