Revelation 7

Apocalypse 7
|
| After this I saw four angels in their places at the four points of the earth, keeping back the four winds in their hands, so that there might be no moving of the wind on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. | Après cela, je vis quatre anges debout aux quatre coins de la terre; ils retenaient les quatre vents de la terre, afin qu`il ne soufflât point de vent sur la terre, ni sur la mer, ni sur aucun arbre. |
| And I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the mark of the living God: and he said with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to do damage to the earth and the sea, | Et je vis un autre ange, qui montait du côté du soleil levant, et qui tenait le sceau du Dieu vivant; il cria d`une voix forte aux quatre anges à qui il avait été donné de faire du mal à la terre et à la mer, et il dit: |
| Do no damage to the earth, or the sea, or the trees, till we have put a mark on the servants of our God. | Ne faites point de mal à la terre, ni à la mer, ni aux arbres, jusqu`à ce que nous ayons marqué du sceau le front des serviteurs de notre Dieu. |
| And there came to my ears the number of those who had the mark on their brows, a hundred and forty-four thousand, who were marked out of every tribe of the people of Israel. | Et j`entendis le nombre de ceux qui avaient été marqués du sceau, cent quarante-quatre mille, de toutes les tribus des fils d`Israël: |
| Of the tribe of Judah were marked twelve thousand: of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand: of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand: | de la tribu de Juda, douze mille marqués du sceau; de la tribu de Ruben, douze mille; de la tribu de Gad, douze mille; |
| Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand: of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand: of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand: | de la tribu d`Aser, douze mille; de la tribu de Nephthali, douze mille; de la tribu de Manassé, douze mille; |
| Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand: of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand: of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand: | de la tribu de Siméon, douze mille; de la tribu de Lévi, douze mille; de la tribu d`Issacar, douze mille; |
| Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand: of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand: of the tribe of Benjamin were marked twelve thousand. | de la tribu de Zabulon, douze mille; de la tribu de Joseph, douze mille; de la tribu de Benjamin, douze mille marqués du sceau. |
| After these things I saw a great army of people more than might be numbered, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and languages, taking their places before the high seat and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and with branches in their hands, | Après cela, je regardai, et voici, il y avait une grande foule, que personne ne pouvait compter, de toute nation, de toute tribu, de tout peuple, et de toute langue. Ils se tenaient devant le trône et devant l`agneau, revêtus de robes blanches, et des palmes dans leurs mains. |
| Saying with a loud voice, Salvation to our God who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb. | Et ils criaient d`une voix forte, en disant: Le salut est à notre Dieu qui est assis sur le trône, et à l`agneau. |
| And all the angels were round about the high seat, and about the rulers and the four beasts; and they went down on their faces before the high seat, and gave worship to God, saying, | Et tous les anges se tenaient autour du trône et des vieillards et des quatre êtres vivants; et ils se prosternèrent sur leur face devant le trône, et ils adorèrent Dieu, |
| So be it. Let blessing and glory and wisdom and praise and honour and power and strength be given to our God for ever and ever. So be it. | en disant: Amen! La louange, la gloire, la sagesse, l`action de grâces, l`honneur, la puissance, et la force, soient à notre Dieu, aux siècles des siècles! Amen! |
| And one of the rulers made answer, saying to me, These who have on white robes, who are they, and where did they come from? | Et l`un des vieillards prit la parole et me dit: Ceux qui sont revêtus de robes blanches, qui sont-ils, et d`où sont-ils venus? |
| And I said to him, My lord, you have knowledge. And he said to me, These are they who came through the great testing, and their robes have been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. | Je lui dis: Mon seigneur, tu le sais. Et il me dit: Ce sont ceux qui viennent de la grande tribulation; ils ont lavé leurs robes, et ils les ont blanchies dans le sang de l`agneau. |
| This is why they are before the high seat of God; and they are his servants day and night in his house: and he who is seated on the high seat will be a tent over them. | C`est pour cela qu`ils sont devant le trône de Dieu, et le servent jour et nuit dans son temple. Celui qui est assis sur le trône dressera sa tente sur eux; |
| They will never be in need of food or drink: and they will never again be troubled by the burning heat of the sun: | ils n`auront plus faim, ils n`auront plus soif, et le soleil ne les frappera point, ni aucune chaleur. |
| For the Lamb who is on the high seat will be their keeper and their guide to fountains of living water: and God will make glad their eyes for ever. | Car l`agneau qui est au milieu du trône les paîtra et les conduira aux sources des eaux de la vie, et Dieu essuiera toute larme de leurs yeux. |
