Apocalypse 19

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Après quoi j'entendis comme un grand bruit de foule immense au ciel, qui clamait: "Alleluia!Salut et gloire et puissance à notre Dieu,	1 After these things I heard as it were the voice of much people in heaven, saying: Alleluia. Salvation, and glory, and power is to our God.
2 car ses jugements sont vrais et justes: il a jugé la Prostituée fameuse qui corrompait la terre parsa prostitution, et vengé sur elle le sang de ses serviteurs."	2 For true and just are his judgments, who hath judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath revenged the blood of his servants, at her hands.
3 Puis ils reprirent: "Alleluia! Oui, sa fumée s'élève pour les siècles des siècles!"	3 And again they said: Alleluia. And her smoke ascendeth for ever and ever.
4 Alors, les 24 Vieillards et les quatre Vivants se prosternèrent pour adorer Dieu, qui siège sur letrône, en disant: "Amen, alleluia!..."	4 And the four and twenty ancients, and the four living creatures fell down and adored God that sitteth upon the throne, saying: Amen; Alleluia.
5 Puis une voix partit du trône: "Louez notre Dieu, vous tous qui le servez, et vous qui lecraignez, les petits et les grands."	5 And a voice came out from the throne, saying: Give praise to our God, all ye his servants; and you that fear him, little and great.
6 Alors j'entendis comme le bruit d'une foule immense, comme le mugissement des grandeseaux, comme le grondement de violents tonnerres; on clamait: "Alleluia! Car il a pris possession de son règne, leSeigneur, le Dieu Maître-de-tout.	6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunders, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord our God the Almighty hath reigned.
7 Soyons dans l'allégresse et dans la joie, rendons gloire à Dieu, car voici les noces de l'Agneau,et son épouse s'est faite belle:	7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath prepared herself.
8 on lui a donné de se vêtir de lin d'une blancheur éclatante" - le lin, c'est en effet les bonnesactions des saints.	8 And it is granted to her that she should clothe herself with fine linen, glittering and white. For the fine linen are the justifications of saints.
9 Puis il me dit: "Ecris: Heureux les gens invités au festin de noce de l'Agneau. Ces paroles deDieu, ajouta-t-il, sont vraies."	9 And he said to me: Write: Blessed are they that are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me: These words of God are true.
10 Alors je me prosternai à ses pieds pour l'adorer, mais lui me dit: "Non, attention, je suis unserviteur comme toi et comme tes frères qui possèdent le témoignage de Jésus. C'est Dieu que tu dois adorer." Letémoignage de Jésus, c'est l'esprit de prophétie.	10 And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And he saith to me: See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren, who have the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 Alors je vis le ciel ouvert, et voici un cheval blanc; celui qui le monte s'appelle "Fidèle" et"Vrai", il juge et fait la guerre avec justice.	11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and with justice doth he judge and fight.
12 Ses yeux? Une flamme ardente; sur sa tête, plusieurs diadèmes; inscrit sur lui, un nom qu'ilest seul à connaître;	12 And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many diadems, and he had a name written, which no man knoweth but himself.
13 le manteau qui l'enveloppe est trempé de sang; et son nom? Le Verbe de Dieu.	13 And he was clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD.
14 Les armées du ciel le suivaient sur des chevaux blancs, vêtues de lin d'une blancheur parfaite.	14 And the armies that are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 De sa bouche sort une épée acérée pour en frapper les païens; c'est lui qui les mènera avec unsceptre de fer; c'est lui qui foule dans la cuve le vin de l'ardente colère de Dieu, le Maître-de-tout.	15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two edged sword; that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God the Almighty.
16 Un nom est inscrit sur son manteau et sur sa cuisse: Roi des rois et Seigneur des seigneurs.	16 And he hath on his garment, and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 Puis je vis un Ange, debout sur le soleil, crier d'une voix puissante à tous les oiseaux quivolent au zénith: "Venez, ralliez le grand festin de Dieu!	17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of heaven: Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God:
18 Vous y avalerez chairs de rois, et chairs de grands capitaines, et chairs de héros, et chairs dechevaux avec leurs cavaliers, et chairs de toutes gens, libres et esclaves, petits et grands!"	18 That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of tribunes, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all freemen and bondmen, and of little and of great.
19 Je vis alors la Bête, avec les rois de la terre et leurs armées rassemblés pour engager lecombat contre le Cavalier et son armée.	19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war with him that sat upon the horse, and with his army.
20 Mais la Bête fut capturée, avec le faux prophète - celui qui accomplit au service de la Bêtedes prodiges par lesquels il fourvoyait les gens ayant reçu la marque de la Bête et les adorateurs de son image, -on les jeta tous deux, vivants, dans l'étang de feu, de soufre embrasé.	20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet, who wrought signs before him, wherewith he seduced them who received the character of the beast, and who adored his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire, burning with brimstone.
21 Tout le reste fut exterminé par l'épée du Cavalier, qui sort de sa bouche, et tous les oiseaux serepurent de leurs chairs.	21 And the rest were slain by the sword of him that sitteth upon the horse, which proceedeth out of his mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
