Apocalypse 7

JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Après quoi je vis quatre Anges, debout aux quatre coins de la terre, retenant les quatre vents dela terre pour qu'il ne soufflât point de vent, ni sur la terre, ni sur la mer, ni sur aucun arbre.	1 After these things, I saw four Angels standing above the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that they would not blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree.
2 Puis je vis un autre Ange monter de l'orient, portant le sceau du Dieu vivant; il cria d'une voixpuissante aux quatre Anges auxquels il fut donné de malmener la terre et la mer:	2 And I saw another Angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the Seal of the living God. And he cried out, in a great voice, to the four Angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
3 "Attendez, pour malmener la terre et la mer et les arbres, que nous ayons marqué au front lesserviteurs de notre Dieu."	3 saying: “Do no harm to the earth, nor to the sea, nor to the trees, until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
4 Et j'appris combien furent alors marqués du sceau: 144.000 de toutes les tribus des fils d'Israël.	4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed: one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of Israel.
5 De la tribu de Juda, 12.000 furent marqués; de la tribu de Ruben, 12.000; de la tribu de Gad,12.000;	5 From the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed. From the tribe of Ruben, twelve thousand were sealed. From the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand were sealed.
6 de la tribu d'Aser, 12.000; de la tribu de Nephtali, 12.000; de la tribu de Manassé, 12.000;	6 From the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand were sealed. From the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand were sealed. From the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand were sealed.
7 de la tribu de Siméon, 12.000; de la tribu de Lévi, 12.000; de la tribu d'Issachar, 12.000;	7 From the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand were sealed. From the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand were sealed. From the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand were sealed.
8 de la tribu de Zabulon, 12.000; de la tribu de Joseph, 12.000; de la tribu de Benjamin, 12.000furent marqués.	8 From the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand were sealed. From the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand were sealed. From the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.
9 Après quoi, voici qu'apparut à mes yeux une foule immense, que nul ne pouvait dénombrer, detoute nation, race, peuple et langue; debout devant le trône et devant l'Agneau, vêtus de robes blanches, despalmes à la main,	9 After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
10 ils crient d'une voix puissante: "Le salut à notre Dieu, qui siège sur le trône, ainsi qu'àl'Agneau!"	10 And they cried out, with a great voice, saying: “Salvation is from our God, who sits upon the throne, and from the Lamb.”
11 Et tous les Anges en cercle autour du trône, des Vieillards et des quatre Vivants, seprosternèrent devant le trône, la face contre terre, pour adorer Dieu;	11 And all the Angels were standing around the throne, with the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell upon their faces in view of the throne, and they worshipped God,
12 ils disaient: "Amen! Louange, gloire, sagesse, action de grâces, honneur, puissance et force ànotre Dieu pour les siècles des siècles! Amen!"	12 saying: “Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving, honor and power and strength to our God, forever and ever. Amen.”
13 L'un des Vieillards prit alors la parole et me dit: "Ces gens vêtus de robes blanches, qui sont-ilset d'où viennent-ils?"	13 And one of the elders responded and said to me: “These ones who are clothed in white robes, who are they? And where did they come from?”
14 Et moi de répondre: "Monseigneur, c'est toi qui le sais." Il reprit: "Ce sont ceux qui viennentde la grande épreuve: ils ont lavé leurs robes et les ont blanchies dans le sang de l'Agneau.	14 And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
15 C'est pourquoi ils sont devant le trône de Dieu, le servant jour et nuit dans son temple; et Celuiqui siège sur le trône étendra sur eux sa tente.	15 Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
16 Jamais plus ils ne souffriront de la faim ni de la soif; jamais plus ils ne seront accablés ni par lesoleil, ni par aucun vent brûlant.	16 They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
17 Car l'Agneau qui se tient au milieu du trône sera leur pasteur et les conduira aux sources deseaux de la vie. Et Dieu essuiera toute larme de leurs yeux."	17 For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
