Revelation 5
1 I saw that there was a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. The scroll was written on its outside as well as on its inside, and it was sealed {Someone had written on the outside as well as on the inside of the scroll and sealed it} with seven seals.
Puis je vis dans la main droite de Celui qui était assis sur le trône un livre écrit en dedans et en dehors, et scellé de sept sceaux.
2 I saw a strong angel who was announcing in a loud voice, “(The person who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it should come to do it!/Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it?)” [RHQ]
Et je vis un ange puissant qui criait d’une voix forte: « Qui est digne d’ouvrir le livre et d’en rompre les sceaux? »
3 But no created being in heaven nor any created being on the earth nor any created being under the earth was able to open the scroll and see what was written on it.
Et personne ni dans le ciel, ni sur la terre, ne pouvait ouvrir le livre ni le regarder.
4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
Et moi je pleurais beaucoup de ce qu’il ne se trouvait personne qui fût digne d’ouvrir le livre, ni de le regarder.
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry any longer! Look, the one who is called the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Messiah who is the descendant of King David, has overcome Satan! As a result, he is worthy to break the seven seals on the scroll and open it!”
Alors un des vieillards me dit: « Ne pleure point; voici que le lion de la tribu de Juda, le rejeton de David, a vaincu, de manière à pouvoir ouvrir le livre et ses sept sceaux. »
6 Then I saw Jesus, the one who is like a [MET] sacrificial lamb, standing there. He stood near the throne, in the midst of the four living creatures and the elders. It appeared that he had been killed {that people had killed him}, but he was alive again. He had seven horns [on his head], and he had seven eyes that symbolize the Spirit of God who has all kinds of power (OR, who is also symbolized as seven spirits). [He] sends [God’s] Spirit out into all the earth.
Et je vis, et voici qu’au milieu du trône et des quatre animaux, et au milieu des vieillards, un Agneau était debout: il semblait avoir été immolé; il avait sept cornes et sept yeux, qui sont les sept Esprits de Dieu envoyés par toute la terre.
7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
Il vint, et reçut le livre de la main droite de Celui qui était assis sur le trône.
8 When he took the scroll, the four living [creatures] and the 24 elders (prostrated themselves/knelt down) before [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, [to worship him]. They each had a harp, and they had golden bowls full of incense that [represents] the prayers of God’s people.
Quand il eut reçu le livre, les quatre animaux et les vingt-quatre vieillards se prosternèrent devant l’Agneau, tenant chacun une harpe et des coupes d’or pleines de parfums, qui sont les prières des saints.
9 The living [creatures] and the elders sang a new song. They sang: You are worthy to receive the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and because you redeemed/bought people for God from every tribe, language [MTY], people-group, and nation with the blood that flowed from your body when you died.
Et ils chantaient un cantique nouveau, en disant: « Vous êtes digne de recevoir le livre et d’en ouvrir les sceaux; car vous avez été immolé et vous avez racheté pour Dieu, par votre sang, des hommes de toute tribu, de toute langue, de tout peuple et de toute nation;
10 You have caused them to become a people over whom our God rules, and to become priests who serve him, and they will rule on [MTY] the earth.
et vous les avez faits rois et prêtres, et ils régneront sur la terre. »
11 As I [continued to] look, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and around the living [creatures] and the elders. There were millions of them, a [crowd so large that no one could count them].
Puis je vis, et j’entendis autour du trône, autour des animaux et des vieillards, la voix d’une multitude d’anges, et leur nombre était des myriades et des milliers de milliers.
12 They were singing in a loud voice: “The one who is like a lamb was killed {whom his enemies killed} but he became alive again. He is worthy that all created beings acknowledge that he is infinitely powerful, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, and infinitely strong! He is worthy of being honored and praised by all created beings!”
Ils disaient d’une voix forte: « L’Agneau qui a été immolé est digne de recevoir la puissance, la richesse, la sagesse, la force, l’honneur, la gloire et la bénédiction. »
13 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)
Et toutes les créatures qui sont dans le ciel, sur la terre, sous la terre et dans la mer, et toutes les choses qui s’y trouvent, je les entendis qui disaient: « A Celui qui est assis sur le trône et à l’Agneau, louange, honneur, gloire et puissance dans les siècles des siècles! » (aiōn g165)
14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
Et les quatre animaux disaient: « Amen! » Et les vieillards se prosternèrent et adorèrent [Celui qui vit aux siècles des siècles].
