Apocalypse 9

JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Et le cinquième Ange sonna... Alors je vis un astre qui du ciel avait chu sur la terre. On lui remitla clef du puits de l'Abîme?	1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 Il ouvrit le puits de l'Abîme et il en monta une fumée, comme celle d'une immense fournaise - lesoleil et l'atmosphère en furent obscurcis --	2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 et, de cette fumée, des sauterelles se répandirent sur la terre; on leur donna un pouvoir pareil àcelui des scorpions de la terre.	3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 On leur dit d'épargner les prairies, toute verdure et tout arbre, et de s'en prendre seulement auxhommes qui ne porteraient pas sur le front le sceau de Dieu.	4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 On leur donna, non de les tuer, mais de les tourmenter durant cinq mois. La douleur qu'ellesprovoquent ressemble à celle d'une piqûre de scorpion.	5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 En ces jours-là, les hommes rechercheront la mort sans la trouver, ils souhaiteront mourir et lamort les fuira!	6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 Or ces sauterelles, à les voir, font penser à des chevaux équipés pour la guerre; sur leur tête ondirait des couronnes d'or, et leur face rappelle des faces humaines;	7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 leurs cheveux, des chevelures de femmes, et leurs dents, des dents de lions;	8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 leur thorax, des cuirasses de fer, et le bruit de leurs ailes, le vacarme de chars aux multipleschevaux se ruant au combat;	9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 elles ont une queue pareille à des scorpions, avec un dard; et dans leur queue se trouve leurpouvoir de torturer les hommes durant cinq mois.	10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 A leur tête, comme roi, elles ont l'Ange de l'Abîme; il s'appelle en hébreu: "Abaddôn", et engrec: "Apollyôn."	11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
12 Le premier "Malheur" a passé, voici encore deux "Malheurs" qui le suivent...	12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
13 Et le sixième Ange sonna... Alors j'entendis une voix venant des quatre cornes de l'autel d'orplacé devant Dieu;	13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 elle dit au sixième Ange portant trompette: "Relâche les quatre Anges enchaînés sur le grandfleuve Euphrate."	14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 Et l'on relâcha les quatre Anges qui se tenaient prêts pour l'heure et le jour et le mois et l'année,afin d'exterminer le tiers des hommes.	15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16 Leur armée comptait 200.000.000 de cavaliers: on m'en précisa le nombre.	16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17 Tels m'apparurent en vision les chevaux et leurs cavaliers: ceux-ci portent des cuirasses de feu,d'hyacinthe et de soufre; quant aux chevaux, leur tête est comme celle du lion, et leur bouche crache feu et fuméeet soufre.	17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 Alors le tiers des hommes fut exterminé par ces trois fléaux: le feu, la fumée et le soufre vomisde la bouche des chevaux.	18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19 Car la puissance des chevaux réside en leur bouche; elle réside aussi dans leur queue: cesqueues, en effet, ainsi que des serpents, sont munies de têtes dont elles se servent pour nuire.	19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 Or les hommes échappés à l'hécatombe de ces fléaux ne renoncèrent même pas aux oeuvres deleurs mains: ils ne cessèrent d'adorer les démons, ces idoles d'or, d'argent, de bronze, de pierre et de bois,incapables de voir, d'entendre ou de marcher.	20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Ils n'abandonnèrent ni leurs meurtres, ni leurs sorcelleries, ni leurs débauches, ni leurs rapines.	21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
