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, [John], saw [in the vision that] there was a door open in heaven. The one whose voice was like [SIM] a [loud] trumpet, the one [who had spoken to me] previously, said [to me], “Come up here! I will show you events that must happen later.”
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;
Immediately I experienced that [God’s] Spirit [was specially controlling me]. There was a throne there in heaven, and on the throne someone was sitting [and ruling].
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;
He [shone] like [SIM] a [brilliant crystalline] jasper [jewel] and like a [brilliant red] carnelian [jewel]. Around the throne was a rainbow that [shone like a brilliant green] emerald [jewel].
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 there were 24 other thrones. On these thrones 24 elders were [sitting]. They were wearing [pure] white garments and had golden crowns on their heads.
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;
From the throne there came lightning and rumblings and thundering. Seven torches of fire were burning in front of the throne. Those [represent] the Spirit of God, who has all kinds of [power] (OR, who is [also] symbolized as seven spirits).
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.
In front of the throne [there was what looked] like an ocean [made of] glass. It was [clear], like crystal. On each of the four sides of the throne there was a living [creature]. Each one was covered with eyes in front and behind.
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.
The first living [creature] was like a lion. The second living [creature] was like an ox. The third living [creature] had a face like a man's face. The fourth living creature was like an eagle that was 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.
Each of the four living [creatures] had six wings. They were covered with eyes, all around [their bodies] and under [their wings]. Day and night they continually [LIT] sing: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty One. He is the one who has always existed, who exists now, and who will always exist.
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)
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (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)
Whenever they do that, the 24 elders (prostrate themselves/kneel down) before the one who sits on the throne, and they worship him, the one who lives forever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne and sing: (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.
Our(exc) Lord and God, you are worthy that all beings praise you, you are worthy that all beings honor you, and you are worthy that all beings acknowledge that you are the powerful one, because you alone created all things. Moreover, because you planned that they should exist, you created them, and so they exist.
