Revelation 8
1 When [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, opened the seventh seal, there was no sound at all in heaven for (a very short time/about half an hour).
Quand l'Agneau ouvrit le septième sceau, il se fit dans le ciel un silence d'environ une demi-heure.
2 I saw the seven angels who stand in front of God. A trumpet was given {([God/An angel]) gave a trumpet} to each one of them.
Alors je vis les sept anges qui se tiennent devant Dieu, et on leur donna sept trompettes.
3 Another angel, who had a golden container for burning incense, came and stood at the altar. [He was given] {[An angel] gave to him} a large quantity of incense, in order that he might offer it, with the prayers of all God’s people, upon the golden altar that is in front of [God’s] throne. [Then he burned this incense on the altar].
Puis il vint un autre ange, qui se tint près de l'autel: il avait un encensoir d'or, et on lui donna beaucoup de parfums pour les offrir, avec les prières de tous les saints, sur l'autel d'or qui est devant le trône.
4 From the [pot in] the angel’s hand, the smoke of the incense, along with the prayers of God’s people, went up to God.
Et la fumée des parfums s'éleva de la main de l'ange, devant Dieu, avec les prières des saints.
5 [In response], the angel took the golden incense burner and filled it with [coals of] fire from the altar. He threw [the contents of] the [MTY] incense burner onto the earth. Thunder sounded and rumbled, lightning was flashing, and the earth shook.
L'ange prit l'encensoir, le remplit du feu de l'autel, et le jeta sur la terre: il y eut des tonnerres, des voix, des éclairs, et la terre trembla.
6 The seven angels, [each] of which had [one of] the seven trumpets, prepared to blow them.
Alors les sept anges, qui avaient les sept trompettes, se préparèrent à en sonner.
7 When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire mixed with blood poured down onto the earth. [As a result], a third of [everything on the surface of] the land was burned up {[the fire] burned up a third of [everything on the surface of] the land}. A third of the trees were also burned up {It also burned up a third of the trees}, and [a third of] all the green grass was burned up.
Le premier sonna de la trompette; et il y eut de la grêle et du feu mêlés de sang, qui furent jetés sur la terre. Le tiers de la terre fut brûlé; le tiers des arbres fut brûlé; toute herbe verte fut aussi brûlée.
8 When the second angel blew his trumpet, something that was like a huge burning mountain fell into the ocean. [As a result], a third of the ocean became [red like] [MTY] blood,
Le second ange sonna de la trompette; et une masse, pareille à une grande montagne toute en feu, fut jetée dans la mer. Le tiers de la mer devint du sang;
9 a third of the living creatures in the ocean died, and a third of the ships [in the ocean] were destroyed.
le tiers des créatures vivantes qui étaient dans la mer mourut, et le tiers des navires fut détruit.
10 When the third angel blew his trumpet, a huge star, which was burning like a torch, fell from the sky into a third of the rivers and into [a third of] the springs.
Le troisième ange sonna de la trompette; et il tomba du ciel une grande étoile, enflammée comme une torche; elle tomba sur le tiers des fleuves et sur les sources d'eau.
11 The name of the star is Bitterness. [As a result], the water in a third [of the rivers and springs] became bitter, and many people died from [drinking] the water because it had become bitter.
Le nom de cette étoile est Absinthe. Le tiers des eaux fut changé en absinthe, et ces eaux firent périr un grand nombre d'hommes, parce qu'elles étaient devenues amères.
12 When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, [God] struck the sun, the moon, and the stars, so that they lost a third of their light. The [sun] also did not shine during a third of the day, and [the moon and stars did not shine during a third] of the night.
Le quatrième ange sonna de la trompette; et le tiers du soleil fut frappé, ainsi que le tiers de la lune et le tiers des étoiles, en sorte que le tiers de ces astres fut rendu obscur, et que le jour perdit le tiers de sa clarté, aussi bien que la nuit.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying high in the sky, shouting in a loud voice, “Terrible things will happen to [rebellious] people who live on the earth! Terrible things will happen when the three remaining angels blow their trumpets! And they are about to blow them!”
Alors je regardai, et j'entendis un aigle qui volait au milieu du ciel, disant d'une voix forte: Malheur! Malheur! Malheur aux habitants de la terre, à cause du son des trompettes que les trois autres anges doivent encore faire entendre!
