Apocalypse 13

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et je me tins sur la grève de la mer. Alors je vis surgir de la mer une Bête ayant sept têtes etdix cornes, sur ses cornes dix diadèmes, et sur ses têtes des titres blasphématoires.	1 And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
2 La Bête que je vis ressemblait à une panthère, avec les pattes comme celles d'un ours et lagueule comme une gueule de lion; et le Dragon lui transmit sa puissance et son trône et un pouvoir immense.	2 And the beast, which I saw, was like to a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his own strength, and great power.
3 L'une de ses têtes paraissait blessée à mort, mais sa plaie mortelle fut guérie; alors,émerveillée, la terre entière suivit la Bête.	3 And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death: and his death's wound was healed. And all the earth was in admiration after the beast.
4 On se prosterna devant le Dragon, parce qu'il avait remis le pouvoir à la Bête; et l'on seprosterna devant la Bête en disant: "Qui égale la Bête, et qui peut lutter contre elle?"	4 And they adored the dragon, which gave power to the beast: and they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the beast? and who shall be able to fight with him?
5 On lui donna de proférer des paroles d'orgueil et de blasphème; on lui donna pouvoir d'agirdurant 42 mois;	5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do two and forty months.
6 alors elle se mit à proférer des blasphèmes contre Dieu, à blasphémer son nom et sa demeure,ceux qui demeurent au ciel.	6 And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 On lui donna de mener campagne contre les saints et de les vaincre; on lui donna pouvoir surtoute race, peuple, langue ou nation.	7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation.
8 Et ils l'adoreront, tous les habitants de la terre dont le nom ne se trouve pas écrit, dès l'originedu monde, dans le livre de vie de l'Agneau égorgé.	8 And all the dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb, which was slain from the beginning of the world.
9 Celui qui a des oreilles, qu'il entende!	9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 Les chaînes pour qui doit être enchaîné; la mort par le glaive pour qui doit périr par le glaive!Voilà qui fonde l'endurance et la confiance des saints.	10 He that shall lead into captivity, shall go into captivity: he that shall kill by the sword, must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 Je vis ensuite surgir de la terre une autre Bête; elle avait deux cornes comme un agneau, maisparlait comme un dragon.	11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns, like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
12 Au service de la première Bête, elle en établit partout le pouvoir, amenant la terre et seshabitants à adorer cette première Bête dont la plaie mortelle fut guérie.	12 And he executed all the power of the former beast in his sight; and he caused the earth, and them that dwell therein, to adore the first beast, whose wound to death was healed.
13 Elle accomplit des prodiges étonnants: jusqu'à faire descendre, aux yeux de tous, le feu duciel sur la terre;	13 And he did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the earth in the sight of men.
14 et, par les prodiges qu'il lui a été donné d'accomplir au service de la Bête, elle fourvoie leshabitants de la terre, leur disant de dresser une image en l'honneur de cette Bête qui, frappée du glaive, a reprisvie.	14 And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs, which were given him to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make the image of the beast, which had the wound by the sword, and lived.
15 On lui donna même d'animer l'image de la Bête pour la faire parler, et de faire en sorte quefussent mis à mort tous ceux qui n'adoreraient pas l'image de la Bête.	15 And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast, and that the image of the beast should speak; and should cause, that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast, should be slain.
16 Par ses manoeuvres, tous, petits et grands, riches ou pauvres, libres et esclaves, se ferontmarquer sur la main droite ou sur le front,	16 And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand, or on their foreheads.
17 et nul ne pourra rien acheter ni vendre s'il n'est marqué au nom de la Bête ou au chiffre de sonnom.	17 And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 C'est ici qu'il faut de la finesse! Que l'homme doué d'esprit calcule le chiffre de la Bête, c'estun chiffre d'homme: son chiffre, c'est 666.	18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six.
