Revelation 19
1 After this, I heard what seemed to be a great shout from a vast throng in Heaven, crying — ‘Hallelujah! To our God belong Salvation, and Glory, and Power,
Après cela, j'entendis dans le ciel comme la grande voix d'une foule immense qui disait: «Alléluia! Le salut, la gloire et la puissance appartiennent à notre Dieu,
2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has passed judgment upon the Great Harlot who was corrupting the earth by her licentiousness, and he has taken vengeance upon her for the blood of his servants.’
parce que ses jugements sont véritables et justes. Il a jugé la grande prostituée qui a corrompu la terre par son libertinage, et il lui a demandé compte du sang de ses serviteurs, versé par sa main.»
3 Again they cried — ‘Hallelujah!’ And the smoke from her ruins rises for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
Et la voix dit une seconde fois: «Alléluia!» Et la fumée de la grande cité monte aux siècles des siècles. (aiōn g165)
4 Then the twenty-four Councillors and the Four Creatures prostrated themselves and worshiped God who was seated upon the throne, crying — ‘Amen, Hallelujah!’;
Et les vingt-quatre vieillards et les quatre animaux se prosternèrent et adorèrent Dieu, qui est assis sur le trône, et dirent: «Amen! Alléluia!»
5 and from the throne there came a voice which said — ‘Praise our God all you who serve him, You who reverence him, both high and low.’
Et il sortit du trône une voix qui disait: «Louez notre Dieu, Vous tous ses serviteurs, qui le craignez, petits et grands.»
6 Then I heard ‘what seemed to be the shout of a vast throng, like the sound of many waters,’ and like the sound of loud peals of thunder, crying — ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord is King, our God, the Almighty.
Et j'entendis une voix forte, comme celle d'une foule immense, comme le bruit de grosses eaux, comme le bruit de violents tonnerres; elle disait: «Alléluia! car il règne, le Seigneur Dieu tout-puissant.
7 Let us rejoice and exalt; and we will pay him honour, for the hour for the Marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready.
Réjouissons -nous, tressaillons d'allégresse et lui rendons gloire: les noces de l'agneau sont venues, son épouse s'est préparée,
8 And to her it has been granted to robe herself in fine linen, white and pure, for that linen is the good deeds of the People of Christ.’
et il lui a été donné de se vêtir de lin fin, magnifique et pur.» (Ce fin lin, ce sont les vertus des saints.)
9 Then a voice said to me ‘Write — “Blessed are those who have been summoned to the marriage feast of the Lamb.”’ And the voice said — ‘These words of God are true.’
Et l'ange me dit: «Écris: Heureux ceux qui sont invités au repas des noces de l'agneau!» Et il ajouta: «Ces paroles sont de véritables paroles de Dieu.»
10 I prostrated myself at the feet of him who spoke to worship him, but he said to me — ‘Forbear; I am your fellow-servant, and the fellow-servant of your Brothers who bear their testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For to bear testimony to Jesus needs the inspiration of the Prophets.’
Je tombai à ses pieds pour l'adorer, mais il me dit: «Garde-toi de le faire; je suis ton compagnon de service, et celui de tes frères qui gardent le témoignage de Jésus-Christ: adore Dieu.» — En effet, le témoignage de Jésus, c'est l'esprit de la prophétie.
11 Then I saw that Heaven lay open. There appears a white horse; its rider is called ‘Faithful’ and ‘True’; righteously does he judge and make war.
Alors je vis le ciel ouvert, et il parut un cheval blanc: celui qui le montait s'appelle Fidèle et Véritable; il juge et combat avec justice.
12 His eyes are flaming fires; on his head there are many diadems, and he bears a name, written, which no one knows but himself;
Ses yeux sont une flamme ardente; il a sur la tête plusieurs diadèmes, et porte un nom écrit, que nul ne connaît que lui-même;
13 he has been clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood; and the name by which he is called is ‘The Word of God.’
il est vêtu d'un manteau teint de sang; son nom est La Parole de Dieu.
14 The armies of Heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
Les armées du ciel l'accompagnent sur des chevaux blancs; les cavaliers sont vêtus de fin lin, blanc et pur.
15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which ‘to smite the nations; and he will rule them with an iron rod.’ He ‘treads the grapes in the press’ of the maddening wine of the Wrath of Almighty God;
De sa bouche sort une épée aiguë, pour frapper les nations; c'est lui qui les gouvernera avec une verge de fer; c'est lui qui foule la cuve du vin de l'ardente colère du Dieu tout-puissant.
16 and on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written — ‘KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.’
Sur son manteau et sur sa cuisse, il porte écrit ce nom, Roi des rois, et Seigneur des seigneurs.
17 Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He cried in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven — ‘Gather and come to the great feast of God,
Et je vis un ange qui était debout dans le soleil, et qui cria d'une voix forte à tous les oiseaux qui volaient dans le haut des airs: «Venez, rassemblez-vous pour le grand festin que Dieu vous donne,
18 to eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all freemen and slaves, and of high and low.’
pour manger la chair des rois, la chair des généraux, la chair des hommes forts, la chair des chevaux et de ceux qui les montent, la chair de tous les hommes, libres et esclaves, petits et grands.»
19 Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight with him who sat on the horse and with his army.
Et je vis la bête et les rois de la terre, avec leurs armées rassemblées pour livrer bataille à celui qui est monté sur le cheval blanc, et à son armée.
20 The Beast was captured, and with him was taken the false Prophet, who performed the marvels before the eyes of the Beast, with which he deceived those who had received the brand of the Beast and those who worshiped his image. Alive, they were thrown, both of them, into the fiery lake ‘of burning sulphur.’ (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rest were killed by the sword which came out of the mouth of him who rode upon the horse; and all the birds fed upon their flesh.
le reste fut tué par l'épée qui sort de la bouche de celui qui est monté sur le cheval; et tous les oiseaux se rassasièrent de leurs chairs.
