Apocalypse 5

1 Puis je vis dans la main droite de celui qui était assis sur le trône un livre écrit en dedans et en dehors, scellé de sept sceaux.

And I saw lying in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written on both sides and closely sealed with seven seals.

2 Et je vis un ange puissant, qui criait d’une voix forte: Qui est digne d’ouvrir le livre, et d’en rompre les sceaux?

And I saw a mighty angel who was exclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and break its seals?"

3 Et personne dans le ciel, ni sur la terre, ni sous la terre, ne put ouvrir le livre ni le regarder.

But no one in Heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or look into it.

4 Et je pleurai beaucoup de ce que personne ne fut trouvé digne d’ouvrir le livre ni de le regarder.

And while I was weeping bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the book or look into it,

5 Et l’un des vieillards me dit: Ne pleure point; voici, le lion de la tribu de Juda, le rejeton de David, a vaincu pour ouvrir le livre et ses sept sceaux.

one of the Elders said to me, "Do not weep. The Lion which belongs to the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed, and will open the book and break its seven seals."

6 Et je vis, au milieu du trône et des quatre êtres vivants et au milieu des vieillards, un agneau qui était là comme immolé. Il avait sept cornes et sept yeux, qui sont les sept esprits de Dieu envoyés par toute la terre.

Then, midway between the throne and the four living creatures, I saw a Lamb standing among the Elders. He looked as if He had been offered in sacrifice, and He had seven horns and seven eyes. The last-named are the seven Spirits of God, and have been sent far and wide into all the earth.

7 Il vint, et il prit le livre de la main droite de celui qui était assis sur le trône.

So He comes, and now He has taken the book out of the right hand of Him who is seated on the throne.

8 Quand il eut pris le livre, les quatre êtres vivants et les vingt-quatre vieillards se prosternèrent devant l’agneau, tenant chacun une harpe et des coupes d’or remplies de parfums, qui sont les prières des saints.

And when He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four Elders fell down before the Lamb, having each of them a harp and bringing golden bowls full of incense, which represent the prayers of God's people.

9 Et ils chantaient un cantique nouveau, en disant: Tu es digne de prendre le livre, et d’en ouvrir les sceaux; car tu as été immolé, et tu as racheté pour Dieu par ton sang des hommes de toute tribu, de toute langue, de tout peuple, et de toute nation;

And now they sing a new song. "It is fitting," they say, "that Thou shouldst be the One to take the book And break its seals; Because Thou hast been offered in sacrifice, And hast purchased for God with Thine own blood Some out of every tribe and language and people and nation,

10 tu as fait d’eux un royaume et des sacrificateurs pour notre Dieu, et ils régneront sur la terre.

And hast formed them into a Kingdom to be priests to our God, And they reign over the earth."

11 Je regardai, et j’entendis la voix de beaucoup d’anges autour du trône et des êtres vivants et des vieillards, et leur nombre était des myriades de myriades et des milliers de milliers.

And I looked, and heard what seemed to be the voices of countless angels on every side of the throne, and of the living creatures and the Elders. Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

12 Ils disaient d’une voix forte: L’agneau qui a été immolé est digne de recevoir la puissance, la richesse, la sagesse, la force, l’honneur, la gloire, et la louange.

and in loud voices they were singing, "It is fitting that the Lamb which has been offered in sacrifice should receive all power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."

13 Et toutes les créatures qui sont dans le ciel, sur la terre, sous la terre, sur la mer, et tout ce qui s’y trouve, je les entendis qui disaient: A celui qui est assis sur le trône, et à l’agneau, soient la louange, l’honneur, la gloire, et la force, aux siècles des siècles! (aiōn g165)

And as for every created thing in Heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and everything that was in any of these, I heard them say, "To Him who is seated on the throne, And to the Lamb, Be ascribed all blessing and honor And glory and might, Until the Ages of the Ages!" (aiōn g165)

14 Et les quatre êtres vivants disaient: Amen! Et les vieillards se prosternèrent et adorèrent.

Then the four living creatures said "Amen," and the Elders fell down and worshipped.
