Revelation 11
1 [An angel gave] to me a reed similar to a measuring stick. He said [to me], “[Christ says this: ‘Go] to the temple [where people worship] God, measure it and the altar [in it], and count the people who worship there.
Alors il me fut donné un roseau semblable à une verge, et il se présenta un Ange, qui me dit: lève-toi et mesure le temple de Dieu, et l'autel, et ceux qui y adorent.
2 But do not measure the courtyard outside [of the temple] [DOU], because [it] has been given {[God] has given it} to [the] non-Jewish [people. As a result], they will trample [Jerusalem city] for 42 months.
Mais laisse à l'écart le parvis qui est hors du Temple, et ne le mesure point; car il est donné aux Gentils; et ils fouleront aux pieds la sainte Cité durant quarante-deux mois.
3 I will appoint my two (witnesses/men who will tell others about me). They will proclaim what I reveal to them for 1,260 days. They will wear [rough] clothes made from goat’s hair [to show that they are sad about people’s sin].’”
Mais je [la] donnerai à mes deux Témoins qui prophétiseront durant mille deux cent soixante jours, et ils seront vêtus de sacs.
4 Those [witnesses are the ones] that are represented by the two olive trees and the two lampstands that are in the presence of the Lord [who rules] the earth [SYM].
Ceux-ci sont les deux oliviers, et les deux chandeliers, qui se tiennent en la présence du Seigneur de la terre.
5 If enemies try to harm those [witnesses], fire will come from the mouths of the witnesses and destroy them. If people want to harm them, [the two witnesses] will certainly kill them similarly.
Et si quelqu'un leur veut nuire, le feu sort de leur bouche, et dévore leurs ennemis; car si quelqu'un leur veut nuire, il faut qu'il soit ainsi tué.
6 Those [witnesses] will have authority to keep rain from falling during the time that they are proclaiming what God reveals to them. They also will have authority to cause water [everywhere] to become [red like] [MET] blood, and [authority] to cause all kinds of plagues to occur. They will do this as often as they want to.
Ceux-ci ont le pouvoir de fermer le ciel, afin qu'il ne pleuve point durant les jours de leur prophétie; ils ont aussi le pouvoir de changer les eaux en sang, et de frapper la terre de toutes sortes de plaies, toutes les fois qu'ils voudront.
7 When they have finished proclaiming [to people the message from God], the beast that comes up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit) will attack them, overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
Et quand ils auront achevé [de rendre] leur témoignage, la bête qui monte de l'abîme leur fera la guerre, les vaincra, et les tuera; (Abyssos g12)
8 The dead bodies of the [two] witnesses will lie in the street of the great city where their Lord was crucified, the city that is symbolically named Sodom or Egypt [because its people are very evil, like the people who lived in Sodom and Egypt].
Et leurs corps morts [seront étendus] dans les places de la grande Cité, qui est appelée spirituellement Sodome, et Egypte; où aussi notre Seigneur a été crucifié.
9 Individuals of many people-[groups], tribes, language [groups] [MTY], and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days. But these individuals will not allow [anyone] to bury their bodies.
Et ceux des Tribus, des peuples, des Langues, et des nations verront leurs corps morts durant trois jours et demi, et ils ne permettront point que leurs corps morts soient mis dans des sépulcres.
10 When the [rebellious] people who live on the earth [see that the witnesses are dead], they will rejoice and celebrate. They will send gifts to each other, because these two prophets had [caused plagues to occur which] tormented the [rebellious] people on the earth.
Et les habitants de la terre en seront tout joyeux, ils en feront des réjouissances, ils s'enverront des présents les uns aux autres; parce que ces deux Prophètes auront tourmenté ceux qui habitent sur la terre.
11 But after three and a half days, God will cause those two witnesses to breathe again and live. They will stand up, and those who see them will be terrified.
Mais après ces trois jours et demi, l'Esprit de vie [venant] de Dieu entra en eux, et ils se tinrent sur leurs pieds, et une grande crainte saisit ceux qui les virent.
12 The [two witnesses] will hear a loud voice which came from heaven saying to them: “Come up here!” Then they will go up to heaven in a cloud. Their enemies will see them [as they ascend].
Après cela ils ouïrent une forte voix du ciel, leur disant: montez ici; et ils montèrent au ciel sur une nuée, et leurs ennemis les virent.
13 At that same time there will be a terrible earthquake, which will cause a tenth of [the buildings in] [MTY] the city will collapse, and 7,000 people will die. The rest of the people will be afraid and [acknowledge] that the God [who rules in] heaven is awesome.
Et à cette même heure-là il se fit un grand tremblement de terre; et la dixième partie de la Cité tomba, et sept mille hommes furent tués par ce tremblement de terre; et les autres furent épouvantés, et donnèrent gloire au Dieu du ciel.
14 That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
Le second malheur est passé; et voici, le troisième malheur viendra bientôt.
15 Then the seventh angel blew [his trumpet]. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord [God] and the Messiah [whom he has appointed] can now govern [everyone in] [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” (aiōn g165)
Le septième Ange donc sonna de la trompette, et il se fit entendre au ciel de grandes voix, qui disaient: Les Royaumes du monde sont soumis à notre Seigneur, et à son Christ, et il régnera aux siècles des siècles. (aiōn g165)
16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped him.
Alors les vingt-quatre Anciens qui sont assis devant Dieu dans leurs sièges, se prosternèrent sur leurs faces, et adorèrent Dieu,
17 They said: Lord God, you are the Almighty One! You are the one who exists now! You are the one who has always existed! We thank you that you have defeated by your power everyone who has rebelled against you, and you now rule over everyone in the world.
En disant: Nous te rendons grâces, Seigneur Dieu tout-puissant, QUI ES, QUI ÉTAIS, et QUI ES A VENIR, de ce que tu as fait éclater ta grande puissance, et de ce que tu as agi en Roi.
18 The unbelieving people of [MTY] the nations were raging at you. As a result you have become very angry with them. You have decided that this is the appropriate time for you to judge all the dead people. You have also decided that it is the time for you to reward all your servants, both the prophets and the rest of your people who reverence you [MTY], whether they were considered socially significant/important or socially insignificant/unimportant. It is time for you to reward all of them! You have also decided it is the time for you to destroy the people who are destroying others on the earth.
Les nations se sont irritées, mais ta colère est venue, et le temps des morts est venu pour être jugés, et pour donner la récompense à tes serviteurs les Prophètes, et aux Saints, et à ceux qui craignent ton Nom, petits et grands, et pour détruire ceux qui corrompent la terre.
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened {was open} and [I] saw in the temple the sacred box/chest that contains God’s commandments. Lightning was flashing, it was thundering and rumbling, the earth shook, and large hailstones [fell from the sky].
Alors le Temple de Dieu fut ouvert au ciel, et l'Arche de son alliance fut vue dans son Temple; et il y eut des éclairs, des voix, des tonnerres, un tremblement de terre, et une grosse grêle.
