Revelation 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
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.”	1 Voici ce que j’ai vu ensuite: une porte était ouverte dans le ciel. Alors la voix que j’avais entendue au début, qui résonne comme une trompette, me dit: "Monte ici, je vais te montrer ce qui arrivera par la suite.”
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.	2 Aussitôt je suis saisi par l’Esprit et je vois dans le ciel un trône, et sur le trône Quelqu’un est assis.
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.	3 L’éclat de celui qui siège fait penser à une pierre de jaspe ou de sardoine. Un arc-en-ciel couleur d’émeraude enveloppe le trône.
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.	4 Tout autour du trône il y a 24 trônes, et 24 Anciens sont assis sur ces trônes, tout habillés de blanc, avec sur la tête des couronnes d’or.
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.	5 Des éclairs jaillissent du trône avec un grand vacarme et des coups de tonnerre. Devant le trône brûlent sept torches qui sont les sept esprits de Dieu.
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.	6 Un bassin transparent comme du cristal se voit devant le trône. Quatre êtres vivants occupent l’espace entre le trône et ce qui est autour.
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.	7 Le premier Vivant ressemble à un lion, le second à un bœuf, le troisième a un visage d’homme et le quatrième est comme un aigle en plein vol.
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.”	8 Chacun des quatre Vivants a six ailes couvertes d’yeux tout autour et à l’intérieur. Et de jour ou de nuit ils ne cessent de répéter: Saint, Saint, Saint, le Seigneur Dieu, Maître de l’univers, Celui qui était et Qui est et Qui vient.
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,	9 Et chaque fois que ces Vivants rendent gloire, honneur et action de grâce à celui qui est assis sur le trône et qui vit pour les siècles des siècles,
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:	10 les 24 Anciens se prosternent devant celui qui est assis sur le trône. Ils adorent celui qui vit pour les siècles des siècles et ils jettent leurs couronnes au pied du trône en disant:
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.”	11 Que revienne à toi, Seigneur notre Dieu, gloire, honneur et puissance, car tu en es digne. C’est toi qui as créé toutes choses, selon ta volonté elles ont été et se sont formées.
