Revelation 6

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
1 And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures saying, in a voice like thunder: “Draw near and see.”	1 Comme je regardais, l’Agneau ouvrit l’un des sept sceaux et j’entendis comme un tonnerre. C’était l’un des quatre Vivants qui disait: "Viens”.
2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, so that he might prevail.	2 Je vois alors un cheval blanc et celui qui le monte tient un arc. On lui donne une couronne; il part déjà vainqueur, et il aura la victoire.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”	3 Puis le second sceau est ouvert, et j’entends le deuxième Vivant qui dit: "Viens”.
4 And another horse went forth, which was red. And it was granted to him who was sitting upon it that he would take peace from the earth, and that they would kill one another. And a great sword was given to him.	4 Un autre cheval sort, couleur de feu. Celui qui le monte est chargé de mettre fin à la paix sur la terre, et on lui donne une grande épée pour que les gens se tuent les uns les autres.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: “Draw near and see.” And behold, a black horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a balance in his hand.	5 Puis le troisième sceau est ouvert, et j’entends le troisième Vivant qui dit: "Viens”. Je vois alors un cheval noir et celui qui le monte tient une balance.
6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A double measure of wheat for a denarius, and three double measures of barley for a denarius, but do no harm to wine and oil.”	6 À ce moment une voix se fait entendre au milieu des quatre Vivants: "Un kilo de blé pour une pièce d’argent, et trois kilos d’orge pour une pièce d’argent. Ne gâche pas l’huile ni le vin.”
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”	7 Puis le quatrième sceau est ouvert, et j’entends le quatrième Vivant qui appelle: "Viens”.
8 And behold, a pale horse. And he who was sitting upon it, his name was Death, and Hell was following him. And authority was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to destroy by the sword, by famine, and by death, and by the creatures of the earth.	8 Je vois alors un cheval verdâtre; son cavalier, c’est la Mort avec, derrière elle, le Séjour des Morts. On l’autorise à exterminer un quart de la population par l’épée, la faim, l’épidémie et les bêtes de la terre.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw, under the altar, the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the testimony that they held.	9 Quand le cinquième sceau est ouvert, je vois sous l’autel les âmes de ceux qui ont été massacrés à cause de la parole de Dieu et du témoignage qu’ils avaient à rendre.
10 And they were crying out with a loud voice, saying: “How long, O Holy and True Lord, will you not judge and not vindicate our blood against those who dwell upon the earth?”	10 Ils appellent à grands cris: "Quand donc vas-tu faire justice, ô Maître saint et vrai? Ne feras-tu pas payer notre sang aux habitants de la terre?”
11 And white robes were given to each of them. And they were told that they should rest for a brief time, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who were to be slain even as they were slain, would be completed.	11 On donne alors à chacun d’eux un manteau blanc, et on les prie de patienter un moment jusqu’à ce que soit au complet le nombre de leurs frères et compagnons de service qui, comme eux, doivent être massacrés.
12 And when he had opened the sixth seal, I saw, and behold, a great earthquake occurred. And the sun became black, like a haircloth sack, and the entire moon became like blood.	12 Lorsque je le vis ouvrir le sixième sceau, il y eut un grand tremblement de terre. Le soleil devint noir comme de la toile à sac, et la lune, couleur de sang;
13 And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, just as when a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, drops its immature figs.	13 les étoiles du ciel tombèrent sur la terre comme les premières figues d’un figuier secoué par la tempête.
14 And heaven receded, like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and the islands, were moved from their places.	14 Le ciel se replia comme un rouleau qu’on enroule et les montagnes et les îles abandonnèrent leur place.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the military leaders, and the wealthy, and the strong, and everyone, servant and free, hid themselves in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.	15 Alors les rois de la terre et les grands seigneurs, les généraux, les riches et les gens importants, et tous les autres, libres ou esclaves coururent se cacher dans les cavernes et dans les montagnes entre les roches.
16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.	16 Alors ils dirent aux montagnes et aux rochers: "Recouvrez-nous et cachez-nous aux regards de celui qui est assis sur le trône, loin de la colère de l’Agneau,
17 For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”	17 car le jour est venu de leur formidable colère: qui pourrait rester en place!”
