Aabenbaringen 6
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
De første seks segl på bogrullen brydes til dom over jorden
6 Da Lammet brød det første af de syv segl, hørte jeg et af de fire levende væsener råbe med tordenrøst: „Kom!” 2 Derefter så jeg en hvid hest med en rytter, som holdt en bue i hånden. Rytteren fik udleveret en sejrskrans, og han red af sted fra sejr til sejr, for han var bestemt til at sejre.
3 Da Lammet brød det andet segl, hørte jeg det andet levende væsen råbe: „Kom!” 4 Og der kom en rød hest med en rytter, som fik udleveret et vældigt sværd. Han tog freden bort fra jorden, så folk begyndte at nedslagte hinanden.
5 Da Lammet brød det tredje segl, hørte jeg det tredje levende væsen råbe: „Kom!” Og der kom en sort hest med en rytter, som holdt en skålvægt i hånden. 6 Da hørte jeg en stemme inde fra de fire væsener, som råbte: „Et kilo hvede vil koste en dagløn, og tre kilo byg vil koste en dagløn. Men olivenolien og vinen må du ikke skade!”
7 Da Lammet brød det fjerde segl, hørte jeg det fjerde levende væsen råbe: „Kom!” 8 Og der kom en gustengul hest med en rytter, som hed „Døden”, og Dødsriget fulgte med ham. De fik lov til at dræbe en fjerdedel af jordens befolkning gennem krig og sult, sygdom og vilde dyr.
9 Da Lammet brød det femte segl, så jeg neden for alteret i det himmelske tempel sjælene af dem, som var blevet slået ihjel, fordi de holdt fast ved Guds ord og ikke ville fornægte deres tro på ham. 10 „Herre, du er den sande og hellige Gud,” råbte de. „Hvor længe vil det vare endnu, før du holder dom over dem, der bor på jorden, og hævner vores død?” 11 Da fik de hver en lang, hvid klædning, og der blev sagt til dem, at de skulle vente et stykke tid endnu, indtil det fulde antal af deres medtjenere og medkristne, som skulle slås ihjel ligesom dem selv, var nået.
12 Da Lammet brød det sjette segl, kom der et voldsomt jordskælv. Solen blev mørk som en sørgedragt, og månen blev rød som blod. 13 Himlens stjerner faldt ned mod jorden, som frugterne falder fra et figentræ, der gennemrystes af en vældig storm. 14 Himlen blev rullet sammen som en bogrulle, og alle bjerge og øer blev flyttet fra deres plads. 15 Alle mennesker på jorden søgte at gemme sig i huler og bag klipper i bjergene, både konger og stormænd, hærførere og rigmænd, magthavere, slaver og almindelige borgere. 16 De råbte til bjergene og klippestykkerne: „Styrt sammen over os![a] Skjul os for Den Store Konge og Lammet! 17 For hvem kan undgå straf på den store dommens dag, som nu er kommet?”

The Seven Seals
6 Then I looked when the (A)Lamb opened one of the (B)seven seals, and I heard one of the (C)four living creatures saying as with a (D)voice of thunder, “[a]Come.” 2 Then I looked, and behold, a (E)white horse, and he who sits on it had a bow; and (F)a crown was given to him, and he went out (G)overcoming and to overcome.
3 And when He opened the second seal, I heard the (H)second living creature saying, “Come.” 4 And another, (I)a red horse, went out; and to him who sits on it, it was given to him to (J)take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.
5 And when He opened the third seal, I heard the (K)third living creature saying, “Come.” Then I looked, and behold, a (L)black horse; and he who sits on it had a (M)pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the (N)four living creatures saying, “One [b]choinix of wheat for one [c]denarius, and three [d]choinix of barley for one [e]denarius, and (O)do not harm the oil and the wine.”
7 And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the (P)fourth living creature saying, “Come.” 8 Then I looked, and behold, a (Q)pale horse; and he who sits on it had the name (R)Death, and (S)Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, (T)to kill with sword and with famine and with [f]pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9 And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw (U)underneath the (V)altar the (W)souls of those who had been slain (X)because of the word of God, and because of the (Y)witness which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “(Z)How long, O (AA)Master, (AB)holy and true? [g]Will You not (AC)judge and avenge our blood on (AD)those who dwell on the earth?” 11 And (AE)a white robe was given to each of them; and it was told to them that they should (AF)rest for a little while longer, (AG)until the number of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were to be killed even as they had been, would be (AH)completed also.
12 Then I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and there was a great (AI)earthquake; and the (AJ)sun became black as (AK)sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and (AL)the stars of the sky fell to the earth, (AM)as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 (AN)And the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and (AO)every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 Then (AP)the kings of the earth and the great men and the [h]commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man (AQ)hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *(AR)said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the [i]presence of Him (AS)who sits on the throne, and from the [j](AT)wrath of the Lamb, 17 for (AU)the great (AV)day of their [k]wrath has come, and (AW)who is able to stand?”
