Revelation 2
|
Apocalypse 2
|
| To the angel of the church in Ephesus say: These things says he who has the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the middle of the seven gold lights: | Écris à l`ange de l`Église d`Éphèse: Voici ce que dit celui qui tient les sept étoiles dans sa main droite, celui qui marche au milieu des sept chandeliers d`or: |
| I have knowledge of your doings, and of your hard work and long waiting, and that you will not put up with evil men, and have put to the test those who say they are Apostles and are not, and have seen that they are false; | Je connais tes oeuvres, ton travail, et ta persévérance. Je sais que tu ne peux supporter les méchants; que tu as éprouvé ceux qui se disent apôtres et qui ne le sont pas, et que tu les as trouvés menteurs; |
| And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness. | que tu as de la persévérance, que tu as souffert à cause de mon nom, et que tu ne t`es point lassé. |
| But I have this against you, that you are turned away from your first love. | Mais ce que j`ai contre toi, c`est que tu as abandonné ton premier amour. |
| So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works; or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed. | Souviens-toi donc d`où tu es tombé, repens-toi, et pratique tes premières oeuvres; sinon, je viendrai à toi, et j`ôterai ton chandelier de sa place, à moins que tu ne te repentes. |
| But at least you have the credit of hating the works of the Nicolaitans, as I do. | Tu as pourtant ceci, c`est que tu hais les oeuvres des Nicolaïtes, oeuvres que je hais aussi. |
| He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God. | Que celui qui a des oreilles entende ce que l`Esprit dit aux Églises: A celui qui vaincra je donnerai à manger de l`arbre de vie, qui est dans le paradis de Dieu. |
| And to the angel of the church in Smyrna say: These things says the first and the last, who was dead and is living: | Écris à l`ange de l`Église de Smyrne: Voici ce que dit le premier et le dernier, celui qui était mort, et qui est revenu à la vie: |
| I have knowledge of your troubles and how poor you are (but you have true wealth), and the evil words of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a Synagogue of Satan. | Je connais ta tribulation et ta pauvreté (bien que tu sois riche), et les calomnies de la part de ceux qui se disent Juifs et ne le sont pas, mais qui sont une synagogue de Satan. |
| Have no fear of the things which you will have to undergo: see, the Evil One will send some of you into prison, so that you may be put to the test; and you will have great trouble for ten days. Be true till death, and I will give you the crown of life. | Ne crains pas ce que tu vas souffrir. Voici, le diable jettera quelques-uns de vous en prison, afin que vous soyez éprouvés, et vous aurez une tribulation de dix jours. Sois fidèle jusqu`à la mort, et je te donnerai la couronne de vie. |
| He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death. | Que celui qui a des oreilles entende ce que l`Esprit dit aux Églises: Celui qui vaincra n`aura pas à souffrir la seconde mort. |
| And to the angel of the church in Pergamos say: These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword: | Écris à l`ange de l`Église de Pergame: Voici ce que dit celui qui a l`épée aiguë, à deux tranchants: |
| I have knowledge that your living-place is where Satan has his seat: and you are true to my name, and were not turned away from your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my true witness, who was put to death among you, where Satan has his place. | Je sais où tu demeures, je sais que là est le trône de Satan. Tu retiens mon nom, et tu n`as pas renié ma foi, même aux jours d`Antipas, mon témoin fidèle, qui a été mis à mort chez vous, là où Satan a sa demeure. |
| But I have some things against you, because you have with you those who keep the teaching of Balaam, by whose suggestion Balak made the children of Israel go out of the right way, taking food which was offered to false gods, and going after the desires of the flesh. | Mais j`ai quelque chose contre toi, c`est que tu as là des gens attachés à la doctrine de Balaam, qui enseignait à Balak à mettre une pierre d`achoppement devant les fils d`Israël, pour qu`ils mangeassent des viandes sacrifiées aux idoles et qu`ils se livrassent à l`impudicité. |
| And you have those who keep the teaching of the Nicolaitans. | De même, toi aussi, tu as des gens attachés pareillement à la doctrine des Nicolaïtes. |
| See, then, that you have a change of heart; or I will come to you quickly, and will make war against them with the sword of my mouth. | Repens-toi donc; sinon, je viendrai à toi bientôt, et je les combattrai avec l`épée de ma bouche. |
| He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given. | Que celui qui a des oreilles entende ce que l`Esprit dit aux Églises: A celui qui vaincra je donnerai de la manne cachée, et je lui donnerai un caillou blanc; et sur ce caillou est écrit un nom nouveau, que personne ne connaît, si ce n`est celui qui le reçoit. |
| And to the angel of the church in Thyatira say: These things says the Son of God, whose eyes are like a flame of fire, and his feet like polished brass: | Écris à l`ange de l`Église de Thyatire: Voici ce que dit le Fils de Dieu, celui qui a les yeux comme une flamme de feu, et dont les pieds sont semblables à de l`airain ardent: |
| I have knowledge of your works, and your love and faith and help and strength in trouble, and that your last works are more than the first. | Je connais tes oeuvres, ton amour, ta foi, ton fidèle service, ta constance, et tes dernières oeuvres plus nombreuses que les premières. |
| But I have this against you, that you let the woman Jezebel say she is a prophet and give false teaching, making my servants go after the desires of the flesh and take food offered to false gods. | Mais ce que j`ai contre toi, c`est que tu laisses la femme Jézabel, qui se dit prophétesse, enseigner et séduire mes serviteurs, pour qu`ils se livrent à l`impudicité et qu`ils mangent des viandes sacrifiées aux idoles. |
| And I gave her time for a change of heart, but she has no mind to give up her unclean ways. | Je lui ai donné du temps, afin qu`elle se repentît, et elle ne veut pas se repentir de son impudicité. |
| See, I will put her into a bed, and those who make themselves unclean with her, into great trouble, if they go on with her works. | Voici, je vais la jeter sur un lit, et envoyer une grande tribulation à ceux qui commettent adultère avec elle, à moins qu`ils ne se repentent de leurs oeuvres. |
| And I will put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will give to every one of you the reward of your works. | Je ferai mourir de mort ses enfants; et toutes les Églises connaîtront que je suis celui qui sonde les reins et les coeurs, et je vous rendrai à chacun selon vos oeuvres. |
| But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, even to those who have not this teaching, and have no knowledge of the secrets of Satan, as they say; I put on you no other weight. | A vous, à tous les autres de Thyatire, qui ne reçoivent pas cette doctrine, et qui n`ont pas connu les profondeurs de Satan, comme ils les appellent, je vous dis: Je ne mets pas sur vous d`autre fardeau; |
| But what you have, keep safe till I come. | seulement, ce que vous avez, retenez-le jusqu`à ce que je vienne. |
| He who overcomes, and keeps my works to the end, to him I will give rule over the nations, | A celui qui vaincra, et qui gardera jusqu`à la fin mes oeuvres, je donnerai autorité sur les nations. |
| And he will be ruling them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of the potter they will be broken, even as I have power from my Father: | Il les paîtra avec une verge de fer, comme on brise les vases d`argile, ainsi que moi-même j`en ai reçu le pouvoir de mon Père. |
| And I will give him the morning star. | Et je lui donnerai l`étoile du matin. |
| He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. | Que celui qui a des oreilles entende ce que l`Esprit dit aux Églises! |
