Revelation 16
1 [In the vision] I heard [someone] in the temple speak in a loud voice to the angels [who had the seven bowls]. He said, “Go [from here] and pour out on the earth [the wine/liquid in] [MTY] the seven bowls. [This will show that] God is angry with [rebellious people and will punish them].”
Et j’entendis une voix forte qui venait du temple, et qui disait aux sept anges: Allez, et versez sur la terre les sept coupes de la colère de Dieu.
2 So the first angel went and poured out on the earth [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], horrible and painful sores broke out on God’s enemies who had allowed the beast’s [agents] to mark them and who worshipped the image of the beast.
Le premier alla, et il versa sa coupe sur la terre. Et un ulcère malin et douloureux frappa les hommes qui avaient la marque de la bête et qui adoraient son image.
3 The second angel poured out on the ocean [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], the [water in the ocean stank like the blood] of a person who has died. [And] [MTY] every living creature that was in the ocean died.
Le second versa sa coupe dans la mer. Et elle devint du sang, comme celui d’un mort; et tout être vivant mourut, tout ce qui était dans la mer.
4 The third angel poured out on the rivers and water springs [the wine/liquid] [MTY] [that was in] his bowl. [As a result, the water in the rivers and springs] turned into blood.
Le troisième versa sa coupe dans les fleuves et dans les sources d’eaux. Et ils devinrent du sang.
5 I heard the angel [who has authority over] the waters say [to God], “[O God], you exist and have always existed. You are the holy one. You judge people justly.
Et j’entendis l’ange des eaux qui disait: Tu es juste, toi qui es, et qui étais; tu es saint, parce que tu as exercé ce jugement.
6 [The rebellious people] murdered your holy people and prophets. So you are just in punishing them by giving them blood to drink. This is what they deserve!”
Car ils ont versé le sang des saints et des prophètes, et tu leur as donné du sang à boire: ils en sont dignes.
7 Then I heard [an angel] respond [from] the altar [PRS], “Yes, Lord God, you who are almighty, you punish [people] rightly and justly!”
Et j’entendis l’autel qui disait: Oui, Seigneur Dieu tout-puissant, tes jugements sont véritables et justes.
8 Then the fourth angel poured out on the sun [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [He] enabled the sun to scorch [people] with fiery [heat].
Le quatrième versa sa coupe sur le soleil. Et il lui fut donné de brûler les hommes par le feu;
9 Because people were severely burned by the intense heat {the intense heat severely burned people}, they said evil things about God [MTY], [because] he had the power [to strike people with] plagues like those. But they refused to stop their evil behavior and refused to honor him.
et les hommes furent brûlés par une grande chaleur, et ils blasphémèrent le nom du Dieu qui a l’autorité sur ces fléaux, et ils ne se repentirent pas pour lui donner gloire.
10 When the fifth angel poured out on the throne of the beast [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl, it became dark in the kingdom that the beast [ruled. As a result, the beast and the people whom it ruled] were biting their tongues because [they were suffering intense] pain.
Le cinquième versa sa coupe sur le trône de la bête. Et son royaume fut couvert de ténèbres; et les hommes se mordaient la langue de douleur,
11 They insulted God [who rules in] heaven, because their sores were so painful. But they refused to stop doing the [evil] things that they were doing.
et ils blasphémèrent le Dieu du ciel, à cause de leurs douleurs et de leurs ulcères, et ils ne se repentirent pas de leurs œuvres.
12 The sixth angel poured out on the huge river Euphrates [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, the] water [in the river] was dried up so that the rulers from the eastern [MTY] [countries could cross it with their armies] [SYN].
Le sixième versa sa coupe sur le grand fleuve, l’Euphrate. Et son eau tarit, afin que le chemin des rois venant de l’Orient fût préparé.
13 I saw evil spirits that looked like frogs. One came out of the mouth of the dragon, one from the mouth of the beast, and one from the mouth of the false prophet.
Et je vis sortir de la bouche du dragon, et de la bouche de la bête, et de la bouche du faux prophète, trois esprits impurs, semblables à des grenouilles.
14 Those spirits were demons who were [able to] perform miracles. They went out to the rulers of the whole world, in order to gather their [armies] [SYN] together to the battle that [they will fight] on the wonderful day when Almighty God [punishes his enemies] [MTY].
Car ce sont des esprits de démons, qui font des prodiges, et qui vont vers les rois de toute la terre, afin de les rassembler pour le combat du grand jour du Dieu tout-puissant.
15 The evil spirits will gather the rulers at a place that is called in the Hebrew [language] Armageddon. [I heard the Lord Jesus say], “[You must] listen carefully to [me]: I am coming unexpectedly [SIM], like a thief. [So], I will be happy with those who stay alert and [keep on living righteously so that they will not be ashamed], just like [MET] a person keeps his clothes [on] so that he will not be ashamed [like a person who is] naked.”
Voici, je vienscomme un voleur. Heureux celui qui veille, et qui garde ses vêtements, afin qu’il ne marche pasnu et qu’on ne voie pas sa honte!
Ils les rassemblèrent dans le lieu appelé en hébreu Harmaguédon.
17 The seventh angel poured out into the air [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, someone] said with a loud voice from the throne in the temple, “[The time for God to finish punishing rebellious people] is [about to be] start.”
Le septième versa sa coupe dans l’air. Et il sortit du temple, du trône, une voix forte qui disait: C’en est fait!
18 [When the angel emptied his bowl], lightning flashed, there were rumblings and thunder, and the earth shook. It shook more violently than it has ever shaken since people first [lived] on earth.
Et il y eut des éclairs, des voix, des tonnerres, et un grand tremblement de terre, tel qu’il n’y avait jamais eu depuis que l’homme est sur la terre, un aussi grand tremblement.
19 And [as a result], the very evil city [that is symbolized by Babylon] split into three parts. [God also] destroyed cities in [other] nations. God did not forget that [the people of] [MTY] the very evil [city symbolized by] Babylon [had sinned very much]. So he [caused the people with whom] he was furiously angry [MET] [to drink] a cup of very [poisonous wine/liquid that represented his punishment].
Et la grande ville fut divisée en trois parties, et les villes des nations tombèrent, et Dieu, se souvint de Babylone la grande, pour lui donner la coupe du vin de son ardente colère.
20 Also [as a result of the earthquake], every island disappeared, and the mountains became flat land.
Et toutes les îles s’enfuirent, et les montagnes ne furent pas retrouvées.
21 Also [as a result of the angel’s emptying his bowl], huge hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds, fell from the sky onto the people. Then people insulted God because [he had caused] the destructive hail to fall on them in that terrible plague.
Et une grosse grêle, dont les grêlons pesaient un talent, tomba du ciel sur les hommes; et les hommes blasphémèrent Dieu, à cause du fléau de la grêle, parce que ce fléau était très grand.
