Revelation 10
1 [In the vision] I saw another mighty angel that was coming down out of heaven. A cloud [surrounded him]. There was a rainbow over his head. His face [shone] [SIM] like the sun. His legs looked like pillars of fire.
Je vis un autre ange fort, qui descendait du ciel, revêtu d’une nuée, et ayant un arc-en-ciel sur la tête; son visage était comme le soleil, et ses pieds comme des colonnes de feu.
2 He had in his hand a small scroll that was open. He set his right foot on the ocean and his left foot on the land.
Il avait en sa main un petit livre ouvert; et il posa son pied droit sur la mer, et le gauche sur la terre.
3 He shouted something with a loud voice, a voice like the roar of a lion. When he shouted this, it thundered seven [times], speaking [words that I could understand].
Puis il cria d’une voix forte, comme quand un lion rugit. Et lorsqu’il eut crié, sept tonnerres firent entendre leurs voix.
4 When it thundered [like that], I was about to write [the words that I] heard, but a voice from heaven said to me, “Keep secret what the thunder said! Do not write it down!”
Et quand les tonnerres eurent fait entendre leurs voix, moi j’allais écrire; mais j’entendis une voix du ciel qui me dit: Scelle ce qu’ont dit les sept tonnerres et ne l’écris pas.
5 Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the ocean and the land raised his right hand toward heaven,
Alors l’ange que j’avais vu se tenant debout sur la mer et sur la terre, leva sa main au ciel,
6 and he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (aiōn g165)
Et jura par celui qui vit dans les siècles des siècles, qui a créé le ciel et ce qui est dans le ciel, la terre et ce qui est dans la terre, la mer et ce qui est dans la mer, disant: Il n’y aura plus de temps; (aiōn g165)
7 He said that when the time [came] for the seventh angel to blow his trumpet, [he] would complete what God had secretly planned, just like he announced [long ago] to his servants, the prophets.
Mais aux jours de la voix du septième ange, quand il commencera à sonner de la trompette, se consommera le mystère de Dieu, comme il l’a annoncé par les prophètes ses serviteurs.
8 The one whose voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again. He said, “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the ocean and on the land.”
Et j’entendis la voix qui me parla encore du ciel, et me dit: Va et prends le livre ouvert de la main de l’ange qui se tient debout sur la mer et sur la terre.
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. In your mouth it will [taste] sweet like honey, but it will make your stomach bitter.”
J’allai donc vers l’ange, lui disant qu’il me donnât le livre. Et il me dit: Prends le livre et le dévore, et il te causera de l’amertume dans le ventre, mais dans ta bouche il sera doux comme du miel.
10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. In my mouth it [tasted] sweet like honey, but when I had eaten it, [it] made my stomach turn sour.
Je pris le livre de la main de l’ange, et je le dévorai; il était dans ma bouche doux comme du miel; mais quand je l’eus dévoré, il me causa de l’amertume dans le ventre.
11 The one whose [voice spoke from heaven said to me], “You must (prophesy again/proclaim again what I will reveal to you) about many people-[groups], many nations, [speakers of] many languages [MTY], and many kings.”
Alors il me dit: Il faut encore que tu prophétises à un grand nombre de nations, de peuples, d’hommes de diverses langues, et de rois.
