Apocalypse 8

JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Et lorsque l'Agneau ouvrit le septième sceau, il se fit un silence dans le ciel, environ une demi-heure...1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 Et je vis les sept Anges qui se tiennent devant Dieu; on leur remit sept trompettes.2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 Un autre Ange vint alors se placer près de l'autel, muni d'une pelle en or. On lui donnabeaucoup de parfums pour qu'il les offrît, avec les prières de tous les saints, sur l'autel d'or placé devant le trône.3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 Et, de la main de l'Ange, la fumée des parfums s'éleva devant Dieu, avec les prières des saints.4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 Puis l'Ange saisit la pelle et l'emplit du feu de l'autel qu'il jeta sur la terre. Ce furent alors destonnerres, des voix et des éclairs, et tout trembla.5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Les sept Anges aux sept trompettes s'apprêtèrent à sonner.6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 Et le premier sonna... Il y eut alors de la grêle et du feu mêlés de sang qui furent jetés sur laterre: et le tiers de la terre fut consumé, et le tiers des arbres fut consumé, et toute herbe verte fut consumée.7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 Et le deuxième Ange sonna... Alors une énorme masse embrasée, comme une montagne, futprojetée dans la mer, et le tiers de la mer devint du sang:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 il périt ainsi le tiers des créatures vivant dans la mer, et le tiers des navires fut détruit.9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 Et le troisième Ange sonna... Alors tomba du ciel un grand astre, brûlant comme une torche. Iltomba sur le tiers des fleuves et sur les sources;10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 l'astre se nomme "Absinthe": le tiers des eaux se changea en absinthe, et bien des gensmoururent, de ces eaux devenues amères.11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Et le quatrième Ange sonna... Alors furent frappés le tiers du soleil et le tiers de la lune et letiers des étoiles: ils s'assombrirent d'un tiers, et le jour perdit le tiers de sa clarté, et la nuit de même.12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13 Et ma vision se poursuivit. J'entendis un aigle volant au zénith et criant d'une voix puissante:"Malheur, malheur, malheur aux habitants de la terre, à cause de la voix des dernières trompettes dont les troisAnges vont sonner.13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
