Apocalypse 1

Revelation 1
|
| Révélation de Jésus Christ, que Dieu lui a donnée pour montrer à ses serviteurs les choses qui doivent arriver bientôt, et qu`il a fait connaître, par l`envoi de son ange, à son serviteur Jean, | The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John; |
| lequel a attesté la parole de Dieu et le témoignage de Jésus Christ, tout ce qu`il a vu. | Who gave witness of the word of God, and of the witness of Jesus Christ, even of all the things which he saw. |
| Heureux celui qui lit et ceux qui entendent les paroles de la prophétie, et qui gardent les choses qui y sont écrites! Car le temps est proche. | A blessing be on the reader, and on those who give ear to the prophet's words, and keep the things which he has put in the book: for the time is near. |
| Jean aux sept Églises qui sont en Asie: que la grâce et la paix vous soient données de la part de celui qui est, qui était, et qui vient, et de la part des sept esprits qui sont devant son trône, | John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat; |
| et de la part de Jésus Christ, le témoin fidèle, le premier-né des morts, et le prince des rois de la terre! A celui qui nous aime, qui nous a délivrés de nos péchés par son sang, | And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood; |
| et qui a fait de nous un royaume, des sacrificateurs pour Dieu son Père, à lui soient la gloire et la puissance, aux siècles des siècles! Amen! | And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it. |
| Voici, il vient avec les nuées. Et tout oeil le verra, même ceux qui l`ont percé; et toutes les tribus de la terre se lamenteront à cause de lui. Oui. Amen! | See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it. |
| Je suis l`alpha et l`oméga, dit le Seigneur Dieu, celui qui est, qui était, et qui vient, le Tout Puissant. | I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all. |
| Moi Jean, votre frère, et qui ai part avec vous à la tribulation et au royaume et à la persévérance en Jésus, j`étais dans l`île appelée Patmos, à cause de la parole de Dieu et du témoignage de Jésus. | I, John, your brother, who have a part with you in the trouble and the kingdom and the quiet strength of Jesus, was in the island which is named Patmos, for the word of God and the witness of Jesus. |
| Je fus ravi en esprit au jour du Seigneur, et j`entendis derrière moi une voix forte, comme le son d`une trompette, | I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and a great voice at my back, as of a horn, came to my ears, |
| qui disait: Ce que tu vois, écris-le dans un livre, et envoie-le aux sept Églises, à Éphèse, à Smyrne, à Pergame, à Thyatire, à Sardes, à Philadelphie, et à Laodicée. | Saying, What you see, put in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea. |
| Je me retournai pour connaître quelle était la voix qui me parlait. Et, après m`être retourné, je vis sept chandeliers d`or, | And turning to see the voice which said these words to me, I saw seven gold vessels with lights burning in them; |
| et, au milieu des sept chandeliers, quelqu`un qui ressemblait à un fils d`homme, vêtu d`une longue robe, et ayant une ceinture d`or sur la poitrine. | And in the middle of them one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to his feet, and with a band of gold round his breasts. |
| Sa tête et ses cheveux étaient blancs comme de la laine blanche, comme de la neige; ses yeux étaient comme une flamme de feu; | And his head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; |
| ses pieds étaient semblables à de l`airain ardent, comme s`il eût été embrasé dans une fournaise; et sa voix était comme le bruit de grandes eaux. | And his feet like polished brass, as if it had been burned in a fire; and his voice was as the sound of great waters. |
| Il avait dans sa main droite sept étoiles. De sa bouche sortait une épée aiguë, à deux tranchants; et son visage était comme le soleil lorsqu`il brille dans sa force. | And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was like the sun shining in its strength. |
| Quand je le vis, je tombai à ses pieds comme mort. Il posa sur moi sa main droite en disant: Ne crains point! | And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one; |
| Je suis le premier et le dernier, et le vivant. J`étais mort; et voici, je suis vivant aux siècles des siècles. Je tiens les clefs de la mort et du séjour des morts. | And I was dead, and see, I am living for ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hell. |
| Écris donc les choses que tu as vues, et celles qui sont, et celles qui doivent arriver après elles, | Put in writing, then, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will be after these; |
| le mystère des sept étoiles que tu as vues dans ma main droite, et des sept chandeliers d`or. Les sept étoiles sont les anges des sept Églises, et les sept chandeliers sont les sept Églises. | The secret of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold vessels with burning lights. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lights are the seven churches. |
