Apocalypse 10
1 Je vis descendre du ciel un ange puissant, revêtu d'une nuée. Un arc-en-ciel était sur sa tête. Son visage était comme le soleil, et ses pieds comme des colonnes de feu.
And I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
2 Il tenait dans sa main un petit livre ouvert. Il posa son pied droit sur la mer, et son pied gauche sur la terre.
And he had in his hand a little book opened; and he placed his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land;
3 Il cria d'une voix forte, comme rugit un lion. Et quand il cria, les sept tonnerres firent entendre leur voix.
and he cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars: and when he had cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
4 Lorsque les sept tonnerres eurent retenti, j'allais écrire; mais j'entendis du ciel une voix qui disait: « Scelle les choses que les sept tonnerres ont dites, et ne les écris pas. »
And when the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven, saying: Seal up the things which the seven thunders spoke, and write them not.
5 L'ange que j'ai vu se tenir sur la mer et sur la terre leva sa main droite vers le ciel
And the angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the land, lifted up his right hand to heaven,
6 et jura par celui qui vit aux siècles des siècles, qui a créé le ciel et ce qu'il contient, la terre et ce qu'elle contient, et la mer et ce qu'elle contient, qu'il n'y aura plus de retard, (aiōn g165)
and swore by him that lives from age to age, who created the heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, That time should no longer intervene, (aiōn g165)
7 mais qu'aux jours de la voix du septième ange, quand il sonnera de la trompette, alors le mystère de Dieu sera accompli, comme il l'a annoncé à ses serviteurs les prophètes.
but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall sound his trumpet, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.
8 La voix que j'entendis du ciel, s'adressant de nouveau à moi, dit: « Va, prends le livre ouvert dans la main de l'ange qui se tient sur la mer et sur la terre. »
And the voice that I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said: Go and take the little book that is open in the hand of the angel that stands on the sea and on the land.
9 Je suis allé voir l'ange, lui demandant de me donner le petit livre. Il m'a dit: « Prends-la et mange-la. Elle rendra ton estomac amer, mais dans ta bouche elle sera douce comme du miel. »
And I went to the angel, and said to him: Give me the little book. And he said to me: Take it, and eat it up, and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be in your mouth as sweet as honey.
10 Je pris le petit livre de la main de l'ange, et je le mangeai. Il était doux comme du miel dans ma bouche. Quand je l'eus mangé, mon estomac devint amer.
And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was bitter.
11 On me dit: « Il faut que tu prophétises de nouveau sur beaucoup de peuples, de nations, de langues et de rois. »
And he said to me: You must prophesy again before many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.
