Apocalypse 13

JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et je me tins sur la grève de la mer. Alors je vis surgir de la mer une Bête ayant sept têtes etdix cornes, sur ses cornes dix diadèmes, et sur ses têtes des titres blasphématoires.	1 And I saw a beast ascending from the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns were ten diadems, and upon its heads were names of blasphemy.
2 La Bête que je vis ressemblait à une panthère, avec les pattes comme celles d'un ours et lagueule comme une gueule de lion; et le Dragon lui transmit sa puissance et son trône et un pouvoir immense.	2 And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, and its feet were like the feet of a bear, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave his own power and great authority to it.
3 L'une de ses têtes paraissait blessée à mort, mais sa plaie mortelle fut guérie; alors,émerveillée, la terre entière suivit la Bête.	3 And I saw that one of its heads seemed to be slain unto death, but his deadly wound was healed. And the entire world was in wonder following the beast.
4 On se prosterna devant le Dragon, parce qu'il avait remis le pouvoir à la Bête; et l'on seprosterna devant la Bête en disant: "Qui égale la Bête, et qui peut lutter contre elle?"	4 And they worshiped the dragon, who gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying: “Who is like the beast? And who would be able to fight with it?”
5 On lui donna de proférer des paroles d'orgueil et de blasphème; on lui donna pouvoir d'agirdurant 42 mois;	5 And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies. And authority was given to him to act for forty-two months.
6 alors elle se mit à proférer des blasphèmes contre Dieu, à blasphémer son nom et sa demeure,ceux qui demeurent au ciel.	6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven.
7 On lui donna de mener campagne contre les saints et de les vaincre; on lui donna pouvoir surtoute race, peuple, langue ou nation.	7 And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation.
8 Et ils l'adoreront, tous les habitants de la terre dont le nom ne se trouve pas écrit, dès l'originedu monde, dans le livre de vie de l'Agneau égorgé.	8 And all who inhabit the earth worshiped the beast, those whose names have not been written, from the origin of the world, in the Book of Life of the Lamb who was slain.
9 Celui qui a des oreilles, qu'il entende!	9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 Les chaînes pour qui doit être enchaîné; la mort par le glaive pour qui doit périr par le glaive!Voilà qui fonde l'endurance et la confiance des saints.	10 Whoever will be led into captivity, into captivity he goes. Whoever will kill with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the patient endurance and faith of the Saints.
11 Je vis ensuite surgir de la terre une autre Bête; elle avait deux cornes comme un agneau, maisparlait comme un dragon.	11 And I saw another beast ascending from the land. And she had two horns like the Lamb, but she was speaking like the dragon.
12 Au service de la première Bête, elle en établit partout le pouvoir, amenant la terre et seshabitants à adorer cette première Bête dont la plaie mortelle fut guérie.	12 And she acted with all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And she caused the earth, and those dwelling in it, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 Elle accomplit des prodiges étonnants: jusqu'à faire descendre, aux yeux de tous, le feu duciel sur la terre;	13 And she accomplished great signs, even so that she would cause fire to descend from the sky to the earth in the sight of men.
14 et, par les prodiges qu'il lui a été donné d'accomplir au service de la Bête, elle fourvoie leshabitants de la terre, leur disant de dresser une image en l'honneur de cette Bête qui, frappée du glaive, a reprisvie.	14 And she seduced those living on the earth, by means of the signs that were given to her to perform in the sight of the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth that they should make an image of the beast who had a wound of the sword and yet lived.
15 On lui donna même d'animer l'image de la Bête pour la faire parler, et de faire en sorte quefussent mis à mort tous ceux qui n'adoreraient pas l'image de la Bête.	15 And it was given to her to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would speak. And she acted so that whoever would not worship the image of the beast would be slain.
16 Par ses manoeuvres, tous, petits et grands, riches ou pauvres, libres et esclaves, se ferontmarquer sur la main droite ou sur le front,	16 And she will cause everyone, small and great, wealthy and poor, free and servant, to have a character on their right hand or on their foreheads,
17 et nul ne pourra rien acheter ni vendre s'il n'est marqué au nom de la Bête ou au chiffre de sonnom.	17 so that no one may buy or sell, unless he has the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 C'est ici qu'il faut de la finesse! Que l'homme doué d'esprit calcule le chiffre de la Bête, c'estun chiffre d'homme: son chiffre, c'est 666.	18 Here is wisdom. Whoever has intelligence, let him determine the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
