Revelation 5

1 And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat, a book with writing inside it and on the back, shut with seven stamps of wax.

Et je vis dans la droite de celui qui était assis sur le trône, un livre, écrit au-dedans et sur le revers, scellé de sept sceaux.

2 And I saw a strong angel saying in a loud voice, Who is able to make the book open, and to undo its stamps?

Et je vis un ange puissant, proclamant à haute voix: Qui est digne d’ouvrir le livre et d’en rompre les sceaux?

3 And no one in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to get the book open, or to see what was in it.

Et personne, ni dans le ciel, ni sur la terre, ni au-dessous de la terre, ne pouvait ouvrir le livre ni le regarder.

4 And I was very sad, because there was no one able to get the book open or to see what was in it.

Et moi, je pleurais fort, parce que nul n’était trouvé digne d’ouvrir le livre ni de le regarder.

5 And one of the rulers said to me, Do not be sad: see, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome, and has power to undo the book and its seven stamps.

Et l’un des anciens me dit: Ne pleure pas; voici, le lion qui est de la tribu de Juda, la racine de David, a vaincu pour ouvrir le livre et ses sept sceaux.

6 And I saw in the middle of the high seat and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the rulers, a Lamb in his place, which seemed as if it had been put to death, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

Et je vis au milieu du trône et des quatre animaux, et au milieu des anciens, un agneau qui se tenait là, comme immolé, ayant sept cornes et sept yeux, qui sont les sept Esprits de Dieu, envoyés sur toute la terre.

7 And he came and took it out of the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat.

Et il vint et prit [le livre] de la main droite de celui qui était assis sur le trône.

8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty rulers went down on their faces before the Lamb, having every one an instrument of music, and gold vessels full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints.

Et lorsqu’il eut pris le livre, les quatre animaux et les 24 anciens tombèrent [sur leurs faces] devant l’Agneau, ayant chacun une harpe et des coupes d’or pleines de parfums, qui sont les prières des saints.

9 And their voices are sounding in a new song, saying, It is right for you to take the book and to make it open: for you were put to death and have made an offering to God of your blood for men of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation,

Et ils chantent un cantique nouveau, disant: Tu es digne de prendre le livre, et d’en ouvrir les sceaux; car tu as été immolé, et tu as acheté pour Dieu par ton sang, de toute tribu, et langue, et peuple, et nation;

10 And have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are ruling on the earth.

et tu les as faits rois et sacrificateurs pour notre Dieu, et ils régneront sur la terre.

11 And I saw, and there came to my ears the sound of a great number of angels round about the high seat and the beasts and the rulers; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

Et je vis: et j’entendis une voix de beaucoup d’anges à l’entour du trône et des animaux et des anciens; et leur nombre était des myriades de myriades et des milliers de milliers,

12 Saying with a great voice, It is right to give to the Lamb who was put to death, power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing.

disant à haute voix: Digne est l’Agneau qui a été immolé, de recevoir la puissance, et richesse, et sagesse, et force, et honneur, et gloire, et bénédiction.

13 And to my ears came the voice of everything in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and of all things which are in them, saying, To him who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb, may blessing and honour and glory and power be given for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)

Et j’entendis toutes les créatures qui sont dans le ciel, et sur la terre, et au-dessous de la terre, et sur la mer, et toutes les choses qui y sont, disant: À celui qui est assis sur le trône et à l’Agneau, la bénédiction, et l’honneur, et la gloire, et la force, aux siècles des siècles! (aiōn g165)

14 And the four beasts said, So be it. And the rulers went down on their faces and gave worship.

Et les quatre animaux disaient: Amen! Et les anciens tombèrent [sur leurs faces] et rendirent hommage.
