Apocalypse 4
1 Après ces choses, je vis: et voici, une porte ouverte dans le ciel, et la première voix que j’avais entendue, comme d’une trompette parlant avec moi, disant: Monte ici, et je te montrerai les choses qui doivent arriver après celles-ci.
After these things, I looked and lo, a door was open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard, was as of a trumpet talking with me. It said, Come up hither; and I will show thee the things that must occur hereafter.
2 Sur-le-champ je fus en Esprit: et voici, un trône était placé dans le ciel, et sur le trône, [quelqu’un était] assis;
Instantly, I was in the Spirit: and lo, a throne was placed in heaven; and there was one seated on the throne.
3 et celui qui était assis était, à le voir, semblable à une pierre de jaspe et de sardius; et autour du trône, un arc-en-ciel, à le voir, semblable à une émeraude;
And he who sat, was like the appearance of a jasper-stone, and of a sardine sard, and of a rainbow of the clouds, round about the throne, in form as the appearance of emeralds.
4 et autour du trône, 24 trônes, et sur les trônes, 24 anciens assis, vêtus de vêtements blancs, et sur leurs têtes des couronnes d’or.
Around the throne were twenty and four seats; and upon those seats sat twenty and four Elders, who were clothed in white robes, and on whose heads were coronets of gold.
5 Et du trône sortent des éclairs et des voix et des tonnerres; et [il y a] sept lampes de feu, brûlant devant le trône, qui sont les sept Esprits de Dieu;
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and the sound of thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 et devant le trône, comme une mer de verre, semblable à du cristal; et au milieu du trône et à l’entour du trône, quatre animaux pleins d’yeux devant et derrière.
And before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, were four Animals, full of eyes in their front and in their rear.
7 Et le premier animal est semblable à un lion; et le second animal, semblable à un veau; et le troisième animal a la face comme d’un homme; et le quatrième animal est semblable à un aigle volant.
And the first Animal resembled a lion; and the second Animal resembled a calf; and the third Animal had a face like a man; and the fourth Animal resembled an eagle when flying.
8 Et les quatre animaux, chacun d’eux ayant six ailes, sont, tout autour et au-dedans, pleins d’yeux; et ils ne cessent de dire, jour et nuit: Saint, saint, saint, Seigneur, Dieu, Tout-puissant, celui qui était, et qui est, et qui vient.
And these four Animals had, each of them, six wings around it: and within they were full of eyes: and they have no cessation, day or night, from saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God, the Omnipotent, who was, and is, and is to come.
9 Et quand les animaux rendront gloire et honneur et action de grâces à celui qui est assis sur le trône, à celui qui vit aux siècles des siècles, (aiōn g165)
And when these Animals give glory and honor and praise to him that sitteth on the throne, to him who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 les 24 anciens tomberont [sur leurs faces] devant celui qui est assis sur le trône, et se prosterneront devant celui qui vit aux siècles des siècles; et ils jetteront leurs couronnes devant le trône, disant: (aiōn g165)
the twenty and four Elders fall down before him who sitteth on the throne, and they worship him who liveth for ever and ever; and they cast their coronets before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 Tu es digne, notre Seigneur et notre Dieu, de recevoir la gloire, et l’honneur, et la puissance; car c’est toi qui as créé toutes choses, et c’est à cause de ta volonté qu’elles étaient, et qu’elles furent créées.
Worthy art thou, O Lord our God, the Holy, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thee they exist; and because of thy pleasure they had being and were created.
