Apocalypse 8
1 Lorsqu'il eut brisé le septième sceau, il se fit dans le ciel un silence d'environ une demi-heure.
When [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, opened the seventh seal, there was no sound at all in heaven for (a very short time/about half an hour).
2 Et je vis les sept anges qui se tiennent en la présence de Dieu, et on leur donna sept trompettes.
I saw the seven angels who stand in front of God. A trumpet was given {([God/An angel]) gave a trumpet} to each one of them.
3 Puis il vint un autre ange qui se tint debout sur l'autel, un encensoir d'or à la main: on lui donna une quantité de parfums, afin qu'il les mêlât aux prières de tous les saints, sur l'autel d'or qui est devant le trône;
Another angel, who had a golden container for burning incense, came and stood at the altar. [He was given] {[An angel] gave to him} a large quantity of incense, in order that he might offer it, with the prayers of all God’s people, upon the golden altar that is in front of [God’s] throne. [Then he burned this incense on the altar].
4 et la fumée des parfums, mêlée aux prières des saints, monta de la main de l'ange devant Dieu.
From the [pot in] the angel’s hand, the smoke of the incense, along with the prayers of God’s people, went up to God.
5 Et l'ange prit l'encensoir, le remplit du feu de l'autel et jeta ce feu sur la terre, et il y eut des bruits, des tonnerres, des éclairs, et la terre trembla.
[In response], the angel took the golden incense burner and filled it with [coals of] fire from the altar. He threw [the contents of] the [MTY] incense burner onto the earth. Thunder sounded and rumbled, lightning was flashing, and the earth shook.
6 Et les sept anges qui avaient les sept trompettes, se préparèrent à en sonner.
The seven angels, [each] of which had [one of] the seven trumpets, prepared to blow them.
7 Le premier sonna de la trompette, et il y eut de la grêle et du feu, mêlés de sang, qui furent jetés sur la terre. Et le tiers de la terre, ainsi que le tiers des arbres, et toute l'herbe verte furent consumés.
When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire mixed with blood poured down onto the earth. [As a result], a third of [everything on the surface of] the land was burned up {[the fire] burned up a third of [everything on the surface of] the land}. A third of the trees were also burned up {It also burned up a third of the trees}, and [a third of] all the green grass was burned up.
8 Le second ange sonna de la trompette, et une masse semblable à une grosse montagne ardente fut jetée dans la mer. Et le tiers de la mer fut changé en sang,
When the second angel blew his trumpet, something that was like a huge burning mountain fell into the ocean. [As a result], a third of the ocean became [red like] [MTY] blood,
9 et le tiers des créatures marines qui ont vie, périt, et le tiers des navires fut détruit.
a third of the living creatures in the ocean died, and a third of the ships [in the ocean] were destroyed.
10 Le troisième ange sonna de la trompette, et une grosse étoile enflammée comme une torche, tomba du ciel sur le tiers des fleuves et sur les sources des eaux.
When the third angel blew his trumpet, a huge star, which was burning like a torch, fell from the sky into a third of the rivers and into [a third of] the springs.
11 Le nom de cette étoile est Absinthe. Et le tiers des eaux fut changé en absinthe, et une multitude d'hommes moururent de ces eaux, parce qu'elles avaient été rendues amères.
The name of the star is Bitterness. [As a result], the water in a third [of the rivers and springs] became bitter, and many people died from [drinking] the water because it had become bitter.
12 Le quatrième ange sonna de la trompette, et le tiers du soleil fut frappé, ainsi que le tiers de la lune et le tiers des étoiles, afin que le tiers de chacun d'eux fut rendu obscur et que la clarté du jour fût réduite d'un tiers, et celle de la nuit pareillement.
When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, [God] struck the sun, the moon, and the stars, so that they lost a third of their light. The [sun] also did not shine during a third of the day, and [the moon and stars did not shine during a third] of the night.
13 Et je regardai, et j'entendis un aigle qui volait dans le haut des airs, disant d'une voix forte: Malheur! Malheur! Malheur à ceux qui habitent sur la terre, à cause du son des trompettes, dont les trois autres anges vont sonner!
As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying high in the sky, shouting in a loud voice, “Terrible things will happen to [rebellious] people who live on the earth! Terrible things will happen when the three remaining angels blow their trumpets! And they are about to blow them!”
