1 I saw a book in the right hand of the One Who sat on the a throne. It had writing on the inside and on the back side. It was locked with seven locks.

Puis je vis dans la main droite de celui qui était assis sur le trône un livre écrit en dedans et en dehors, scellé de sept sceaux.

2 I saw a powerful angel calling with a loud voice, “Who is able to open the book and to break its locks?”

Et je vis un ange puissant, qui criait d'une voix forte: Qui est digne d'ouvrir le livre, et d'en rompre les sceaux?

3 N o one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look in it.

Et personne dans le ciel, ni sur la terre, ni sous la terre, ne put ouvrir le livre ni le regarder.

4 T hen I began to cry with loud cries. I cried because no one was good enough to open the book or to look in it.

Et je pleurai beaucoup de ce que personne ne fut trouvé digne d'ouvrir le livre ni de le regarder.

5 O ne of the leaders said to me, “Stop crying. See! The Lion from the family group of Judah has power and has won. He can open the book and break its seven locks. He is of the family of David.”

Et l'un des vieillards me dit: Ne pleure point; voici, le lion de la tribu de Juda, le rejeton de David, a vaincu pour ouvrir le livre et ses sept sceaux.

6 I saw a Lamb standing in front of the twenty-four leaders. He was before the throne and in front of the four living beings. He looked as if He had been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes. These are the seven Spirits of God. They have been sent out into all the world.

Et je vis, au milieu du trône et des quatre êtres vivants et au milieu des vieillards, un agneau qui était là comme immolé. Il avait sept cornes et sept yeux, qui sont les sept esprits de Dieu envoyés par toute la terre.

7 T he Lamb came and took the book from the right hand of the One Who sat on the throne.

Il vint, et il prit le livre de la main droite de celui qui était assis sur le trône.

8 W hen the Lamb had taken the book, the four living beings and the twenty-four leaders got down before Him. Each one had a harp. They all had pots made of gold, full of special perfume, which are the prayers of the people who belong to God.

Quand il eut pris le livre, les quatre êtres vivants et les vingt-quatre vieillards se prosternèrent devant l'agneau, tenant chacun une harpe et des coupes d'or remplies de parfums, qui sont les prières des saints.

9 T hey sang a new song, saying, “It is right for You to take the book and break its locks. It is because You were killed. Your blood has bought men for God from every family and from every language and from every kind of people and from every nation.

Et ils chantaient un cantique nouveau, en disant: Tu es digne de prendre le livre, et d'en ouvrir les sceaux; car tu as été immolé, et tu as racheté pour Dieu par ton sang des hommes de toute tribu, de toute langue, de tout peuple, et de toute nation;

10 Y ou have made them to be a holy nation of religious leaders to work for our God. They will be the leaders on the earth.”

tu as fait d'eux un royaume et des sacrificateurs pour notre Dieu, et ils régneront sur la terre.

11 I looked again. I heard the voices of many thousands of angels. They stood around the throne and around the four living beings and the leaders.

Je regardai, et j'entendis la voix de beaucoup d'anges autour du trône et des êtres vivants et des vieillards, et leur nombre était des myriades de myriades et des milliers de milliers.

12 T hey said with a loud voice, “The Lamb Who was killed has the right to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and shining-greatness and thanks.”

Ils disaient d'une voix forte: L'agneau qui a été immolé est digne de recevoir la puissance, la richesse, la sagesse, la force, l'honneur, la gloire, et la louange.

13 T hen I heard every living thing in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and in the sea and all that are in them. They were saying, “Thanks and honor and shining-greatness and all power are to the One Who sits on the throne and to the Lamb forever.”

Et toutes les créatures qui sont dans le ciel, sur la terre, sous la terre, sur la mer, et tout ce qui s'y trouve, je les entendis qui disaient: A celui qui est assis sur le trône, et à l'agneau, soient la louange, l'honneur, la gloire, et la force, aux siècles des siècles!

14 T he four living beings kept saying, “Let it be so!” And the twenty-four leaders fell down and worshiped.

Et les quatre êtres vivants disaient: Amen! Et les vieillards se prosternèrent et adorèrent.
