Apocalypse 4

JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 saw, and behold, a door was opened in heaven, and the voice that I heard speaking with me first was like a trumpet, saying: “Ascend to here, and I will reveal to you what must occur after these things.”
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, a throne had been placed in heaven, and there was One sitting upon the throne.
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 the One who was sitting there was similar in appearance to a stone of jasper and sardius. And there was an iridescence surrounding the throne, in aspect similar to 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 surrounding the throne were twenty-four smaller thrones. And upon the thrones, twenty-four elders were sitting, clothed entirely in white vestments, and on their heads were gold crowns.
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, lightnings and voices and thunders went forth. And there were seven burning lamps 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 view of the throne, there was something that seemed like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. And in the middle of the throne, and all around the throne, there were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back.
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 resembled a lion, and the second living creature resembled a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature resembled a flying eagle.
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 each of the four living creatures had upon them six wings, and all around and within they are full of eyes. And they took no rest, day or night, from saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the 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 while those living creatures were giving glory and honor and blessings to the One sitting upon the throne, who lives forever 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 twenty-four elders fell prostrate before the One sitting upon the throne, and they adored him who lives forever and ever, and they 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 “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you have created all things, and they became and were created because of your will.”
