Revelation 19

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	JERUSALEM
1 After these things, I heard something like the voice of many multitudes in heaven, saying: “Alleluia! Praise and glory and power is for our God.	1 Après quoi j'entendis comme un grand bruit de foule immense au ciel, qui clamait: "Alleluia!Salut et gloire et puissance à notre Dieu,
2 For true and just are his judgments, he who has judged the great harlot that corrupted the earth by her prostitution. And he has vindicated the blood of his servants from her hands.”	2 car ses jugements sont vrais et justes: il a jugé la Prostituée fameuse qui corrompait la terre parsa prostitution, et vengé sur elle le sang de ses serviteurs."
3 And again, they said: “Alleluia! For her smoke ascends forever and ever.”	3 Puis ils reprirent: "Alleluia! Oui, sa fumée s'élève pour les siècles des siècles!"
4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, sitting upon the throne, saying: “Amen! Alleluia!”	4 Alors, les 24 Vieillards et les quatre Vivants se prosternèrent pour adorer Dieu, qui siège sur letrône, en disant: "Amen, alleluia!..."
5 And a voice went out from the throne, saying: “Express praise to our God, all you his servants, and you who fear him, small and great.”	5 Puis une voix partit du trône: "Louez notre Dieu, vous tous qui le servez, et vous qui lecraignez, les petits et les grands."
6 And I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of great thunders, saying: “Alleluia! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, has reigned.	6 Alors j'entendis comme le bruit d'une foule immense, comme le mugissement des grandeseaux, comme le grondement de violents tonnerres; on clamait: "Alleluia! Car il a pris possession de son règne, leSeigneur, le Dieu Maître-de-tout.
7 Let us be glad and exult. And let us give glory to him. For the marriage feast of the Lamb has arrived, and his wife has prepared herself.”	7 Soyons dans l'allégresse et dans la joie, rendons gloire à Dieu, car voici les noces de l'Agneau,et son épouse s'est faite belle:
8 And it was granted to her that she should cover herself with fine linen, splendid and white. For the fine linen is the justifications of the Saints.	8 on lui a donné de se vêtir de lin d'une blancheur éclatante" - le lin, c'est en effet les bonnesactions des saints.
9 And he said to me: “Write: Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These words of God are true.”	9 Puis il me dit: "Ecris: Heureux les gens invités au festin de noce de l'Agneau. Ces paroles deDieu, ajouta-t-il, sont vraies."
10 And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And he said to me: “Be careful not to do so. I am your fellow servant, and I am among your brothers, who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is a spirit of prophecy.”	10 Alors je me prosternai à ses pieds pour l'adorer, mais lui me dit: "Non, attention, je suis unserviteur comme toi et comme tes frères qui possèdent le témoignage de Jésus. C'est Dieu que tu dois adorer." Letémoignage de Jésus, c'est l'esprit de prophétie.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was called Faithful and True. And with justice does he judge and fight.	11 Alors je vis le ciel ouvert, et voici un cheval blanc; celui qui le monte s'appelle "Fidèle" et"Vrai", il juge et fait la guerre avec justice.
12 And his eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, having a name written, which no one knows except himself.	12 Ses yeux? Une flamme ardente; sur sa tête, plusieurs diadèmes; inscrit sur lui, un nom qu'ilest seul à connaître;
13 And he was clothed with a vestment sprinkled with blood. And his name is called: THE WORD OF GOD.	13 le manteau qui l'enveloppe est trempé de sang; et son nom? Le Verbe de Dieu.
14 And the armies that are in heaven were following him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.	14 Les armées du ciel le suivaient sur des chevaux blancs, vêtues de lin d'une blancheur parfaite.
15 And from his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword, so that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with an iron rod. And he treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.	15 De sa bouche sort une épée acérée pour en frapper les païens; c'est lui qui les mènera avec unsceptre de fer; c'est lui qui foule dans la cuve le vin de l'ardente colère de Dieu, le Maître-de-tout.
16 And he has on his garment and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.	16 Un nom est inscrit sur son manteau et sur sa cuisse: Roi des rois et Seigneur des seigneurs.
17 And I saw a certain Angel, standing in the sun. And he cried out with a great voice, saying to all the birds that were flying through the midst of the sky, “Come and gather together for the great supper of God,	17 Puis je vis un Ange, debout sur le soleil, crier d'une voix puissante à tous les oiseaux quivolent au zénith: "Venez, ralliez le grand festin de Dieu!
18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of tribunes, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses and those sitting on them, and the flesh of all: free and servant, small and great.”	18 Vous y avalerez chairs de rois, et chairs de grands capitaines, et chairs de héros, et chairs dechevaux avec leurs cavaliers, et chairs de toutes gens, libres et esclaves, petits et grands!"
19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, having been gathered together to do battle against him who was sitting upon the horse, and against his army.	19 Je vis alors la Bête, avec les rois de la terre et leurs armées rassemblés pour engager lecombat contre le Cavalier et son armée.
20 And the beast was apprehended, and with him the false prophetess, who in his presence caused the signs, by which she seduced those who accepted the character of the beast and who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire burning with sulphur.	20 Mais la Bête fut capturée, avec le faux prophète - celui qui accomplit au service de la Bêtedes prodiges par lesquels il fourvoyait les gens ayant reçu la marque de la Bête et les adorateurs de son image, -on les jeta tous deux, vivants, dans l'étang de feu, de soufre embrasé.
21 And the others were slain by the sword that proceeds from the mouth of him who was sitting upon the horse. And all the birds were sated with their flesh.	21 Tout le reste fut exterminé par l'épée du Cavalier, qui sort de sa bouche, et tous les oiseaux serepurent de leurs chairs.
