Apocalypse 4

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 J'eus ensuite une vision. Voici: une porte était ouverte au ciel, et la voix que j'avais naguèreentendu me parler comme une trompette me dit: Monte ici, que je te montre ce qui doit arriver par la suite.	1 After these things I looked, and behold a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, as it were, of a trumpet speaking with me, said: Come up hither, and I will shew thee the things which must be done hereafter.
2 A l'instant, je tombai en extase. Voici, un trône était dressé dans le ciel, et, siégeant sur le trône,Quelqu'un...	2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting.
3 Celui qui siège est comme une vision de jaspe et de cornaline; un arc-en-ciel autour du trône estcomme une vision d'émeraude.	3 And he that sat, was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine stone; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 24 sièges entourent le trône, sur lesquels sont assis 24 Vieillards vêtus de blanc, avec descouronnes d'or sur leurs têtes.	4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats; and upon the seats, four and twenty ancients sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads were crowns of gold.
5 Du trône partent des éclairs, des voix et des tonnerres, et sept lampes de feu brûlent devant lui,les sept Esprits de Dieu.	5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there were seven lamps burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
6 Devant le trône, on dirait une mer, transparente autant que du cristal. Au milieu du trône etautour de lui, se tiennent quatre Vivants, constellés d'yeux par-devant et par-derrière.	6 And in the sight of the throne was, as it were, a sea of glass like to crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind.
7 Le premier Vivant est comme un lion; le deuxième Vivant est comme un jeune taureau; letroisième Vivant a comme un visage d'homme; le quatrième Vivant est comme un aigle en plein vol.	7 And the first living creature was like a lion: and the second living creature like a calf: and the third living creature, having the face, as it were, of a man: and the fourth living creature was like an eagle flying.
8 Les quatre Vivants, portant chacun six ailes, sont constellés d'yeux tout autour et en dedans. Ilsne cessent de répéter jour et nuit: "Saint, Saint, Saint, Seigneur, Dieu Maître-de-tout, Il était, Il est et Il vient."	8 And the four living creatures had each of them six wings; and round about and within they are full of eyes. And they rested not day and night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.
9 Et chaque fois que les Vivants offrent gloire, honneur et action de grâces à Celui qui siège sur letrône et qui vit dans les siècles des siècles,	9 And when those living creatures gave glory, and honour, and benediction to him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever;
10 les 24 Vieillards se prosternent devant Celui qui siège sur le trône pour adorer Celui qui vitdans les siècles des siècles; ils lancent leurs couronnes devant le trône en disant:	10 The four and twenty ancients fell down before him that sitteth on the throne, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11 "Tu es digne, ô notre Seigneur et notre Dieu, de recevoir la gloire, l'honneur et la puissance,car c'est toi qui créas l'univers; par ta volonté, il n'était pas et fut créé."	11 Thou art worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory, and honour, and power: because thou hast created all things; and for thy will they were, and have been created.
