1 J e vis un autre ange puissant, qui descendait du ciel, enveloppé d'une nuée; au-dessus de sa tête était l'arc-en-ciel, et son visage était comme le soleil, et ses pieds comme des colonnes de feu.

And I saw another strong angel coming down out of the heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon his head, and his countenance as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,

2 I l tenait dans sa main un petit livre ouvert. Il posa son pied droit sur la mer, et son pied gauche sur la terre;

and having in his hand a little opened book. And he set his right foot on the sea, and the left upon the earth,

3 e t il cria d'une voix forte, comme rugit un lion. Quand il cria, les sept tonnerres firent entendre leurs voix.

and cried with a loud voice as a lion roars. And when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their own voices.

4 E t quand les sept tonnerres eurent fait entendre leurs voix, j'allais écrire; et j'entendis du ciel une voix qui disait: Scelle ce qu'ont dit les sept tonnerres, et ne l'écris pas.

And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write: and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Seal the things which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not.

5 E t l'ange, que je voyais debout sur la mer et sur la terre, leva sa main droite vers le ciel,

And the angel whom I saw stand on the sea and on the earth lifted up his right hand to the heaven,

6 e t jura par celui qui vit aux siècles des siècles, qui a créé le ciel et les choses qui y sont, la terre et les choses qui y sont, et la mer et les choses qui y sont, qu'il n'y aurait plus de temps,

and swore by him that lives to the ages of ages, who created the heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be no longer delay;

7 m ais qu'aux jours de la voix du septième ange, quand il sonnerait de la trompette, le mystère de Dieu s'accomplirait, comme il l'a annoncé à ses serviteurs, les prophètes.

but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God also shall be completed, as he has made known the glad tidings to his own bondmen the prophets.

8 E t la voix, que j'avais entendue du ciel, me parla de nouveau, et dit: Va, prends le petit livre ouvert dans la main de l'ange qui se tient debout sur la mer et sur la terre.

And the voice which I heard out of the heaven again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the little book which is opened in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth.

9 E t j'allai vers l'ange, en lui disant de me donner le petit livre. Et il me dit: Prends-le, et avale-le; il sera amer à tes entrailles, mais dans ta bouche il sera doux comme du miel.

And I went to the angel, saying to him to give me the little book. And he says to me, Take and eat it up: and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.

10 J e pris le petit livre de la main de l'ange, et je l'avalai; il fut dans ma bouche doux comme du miel, mais quand je l'eus avalé, mes entrailles furent remplies d'amertume.

And I took the little book out of the hand of the angel, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth as honey, sweet; and when I had eaten it my belly was made bitter.

11 P uis on me dit: Il faut que tu prophétises de nouveau sur beaucoup de peuples, de nations, de langues, et de rois.

And it was said to me, Thou must prophesy again as to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.
