Grace and peace to you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are in the sight of his throne,
5 et par Jésus Christ, le témoin fidèle, le Premier-né d'entre les morts, le Prince des rois de laterre. Il nous aime et nous a lavés de nos péchés par son sang,	5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the leader over the kings of the earth, who has loved us and has washed us from our sins with his blood,
6 il a fait de nous une Royauté de Prêtres, pour son Dieu et Père: à lui donc la gloire et lapuissance pour les siècles des siècles. Amen.	6 and who has made us into a kingdom and into priests for God and for his Father. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Voici, il vient avec les nuées; chacun le verra, même ceux qui l'ont transpercé, et sur lui selamenteront toutes les races de la terre. Oui, Amen!	7 Behold, he arrives with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall lament for themselves over him. Even so. Amen.
8 Je suis l'Alpha et l'Oméga, dit le Seigneur Dieu, "Il est, Il était et Il vient", le Maître-de-tout.	8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 Moi, Jean, votre frère et votre compagnon dans l'épreuve, la royauté et la constance, en Jésus. Jeme trouvais dans l'île de Patmos, à cause de la Parole de Dieu et du témoignage de Jésus.	9 I, John, your brother, and a sharer in the tribulation and in the kingdom and in patient endurance for Christ Jesus, was on the island which is called Patmos, because of the Word of God and the testimony to Jesus.
10 Je tombai en extase, le jour du Seigneur, et j'entendis derrière moi une voix clamer, commeune trompette:	10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, like that of a trumpet,
11 "Ce que tu vois, écris-le dans un livre pour l'envoyer aux sept Eglises: à Ephèse, Smyrne,Pergame, Thyatire, Sardes, Philadelphie et Laodicée."	11 saying, “What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven Churches, which are in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Je me retournai pour regarder la voix qui me parlait; et m'étant retourné, je vis sept candélabresd'or,	12 And I turned around, so as to see the voice which was speaking with me. And having turned around, I saw seven golden lampstands.
13 et, au milieu des candélabres, comme un Fils d'homme revêtu d'une longue robe serrée à lataille par une ceinture en or.	13 And in the midst of the seven golden lampstands was one resembling the Son of man, clothed to the feet with a vestment, and wrapped to the breast with a wide belt of gold.
14 Sa tête, avec ses cheveux blancs, est comme de la laine blanche, comme de la neige, ses yeuxcomme une flamme ardente,	14 But his head and hair were bright, like white wool, or like snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire;
15 ses pieds pareils à de l'airain précieux que l'on aurait purifié au creuset, sa voix comme la voixdes grandes eaux.	15 and his feet resembled shining brass, just as in a burning furnace; and his voice was like the voice of many waters.
16 Dans sa main droite il a sept étoiles, et de sa bouche sort une épée acérée, à double tranchant;et son visage, c'est comme le soleil qui brille dans tout son éclat.	16 And in his right hand, he held the seven stars; and from his mouth went out a sharp two-edged sword; and his face was like the sun, shining with all its might.
17 A sa vue, je tombai à ses pieds, comme mort; mais il posa sur moi sa main droite en disant:"Ne crains pas, je suis le Premier et le Dernier,	17 And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet, like one who is dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.
18 le Vivant; je fus mort, et me voici vivant pour les siècles des siècles, détenant la clef de laMort et de l'Hadès.	18 And I am alive, though I was dead. And, behold, I live forever and ever. And I hold the keys of death and of Hell.
19 Ecris donc ce que tu as vu: le présent et ce qui doit arriver plus tard.	19 Therefore, write the things which you have seen, and which are, and which must occur afterward:
20 Quant au mystère des sept étoiles que tu as vues dans ma main droite et des sept candélabresd'or, le voici: les sept étoiles sont les Anges des sept Eglises; et les sept candélabres sont les sept Eglises.	20 the mystery of the seven stars, which you have seen in my right hand, and of the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the Angels of the seven Churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven Churches.”
