Apocalypse 1
1 Révélation de Jésus Christ, que Dieu lui a donnée pour montrer à ses esclaves les choses qui doivent arriver bientôt; et il l’a signifiée, en l’envoyant par son ange, à son esclave Jean,
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John:
2 qui a rendu témoignage de la parole de Dieu et du témoignage de Jésus Christ, [de] toutes [les] choses qu’il a vues.
Who bore record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Bienheureux celui qui lit et ceux qui entendent les paroles de la prophétie et qui gardent les choses qui y sont écrites, car le temps est proche!
Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 Jean, aux sept assemblées qui sont en Asie: Grâce et paix à vous, de la part de celui qui est, et qui était, et qui vient, et de la part des sept Esprits qui sont devant son trône,
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 et de la part de Jésus Christ, le témoin fidèle, le premier-né des morts, et le prince des rois de la terre! À celui qui nous aime, et qui nous a lavés de nos péchés dans son sang;
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 – et il nous a faits un royaume, des sacrificateurs pour son Dieu et Père; – à lui la gloire et la force aux siècles des siècles! Amen. (aiōn g165)
And has made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Voici, il vient avec les nuées, et tout œil le verra, et ceux qui l’ont percé; et toutes les tribus de la terre se lamenteront à cause de lui. Oui, amen!
Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 Moi, je suis l’alpha et l’oméga, dit le Seigneur Dieu, celui qui est, et qui était, et qui vient, le Tout-puissant.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 Moi, Jean, qui suis votre frère et qui ai part avec vous à la tribulation et au royaume et à la patience en Jésus, j’étais dans l’île appelée Patmos, pour la parole de Dieu et pour le témoignage de Jésus Christ.
I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Je fus en Esprit, dans la journée dominicale, et j’entendis derrière moi une grande voix, comme d’une trompette,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 disant: Ce que tu vois, écris-le dans un livre et envoie-le aux sept assemblées: à Éphèse, et à Smyrne, et à Pergame, et à Thyatire, et à Sardes, et à Philadelphie, et à Laodicée.
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 Et je me retournai pour voir la voix qui me parlait; et, m’étant retourné, je vis sept lampes d’or,
And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 et au milieu des [sept] lampes [quelqu’un de] semblable au Fils de l’homme, vêtu d’une robe qui allait jusqu’aux pieds, et ceint, à la poitrine, d’une ceinture d’or.
And in the middle of the seven candlesticks one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle.
14 Sa tête et ses cheveux étaient blancs comme de la laine blanche, comme de la neige; et ses yeux, comme une flamme de feu;
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 et ses pieds, semblables à de l’airain brillant, comme embrasés dans une fournaise; et sa voix, comme une voix de grandes eaux;
And his feet like to fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 – et il avait dans sa main droite sept étoiles; et de sa bouche sortait une épée aiguë à deux tranchants; – et son visage, comme le soleil [quand il] luit dans sa force.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shines in his strength.
17 Et, lorsque je le vis, je tombai à ses pieds comme mort; et il mit sa droite sur moi, disant: Ne crains point; moi, je suis le premier et le dernier,
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand on me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
19 Écris donc les choses que tu as vues, et les choses qui sont, et les choses qui doivent arriver après celles-ci.
Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 Le mystère des sept étoiles que tu as vues dans ma droite, et les sept lampes d’or: les sept étoiles sont [les] anges des sept assemblées, et les sept lampes sont sept assemblées.
The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches.
