Revelation 12

Apocalypse 12
|
| And a great sign was seen in heaven: a A woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. | Un grand signe parut dans le ciel: une femme enveloppée du soleil, la lune sous ses pieds, et une couronne de douze étoiles sur sa tête. |
| And she was with child; and she gave a cry, in the pains of childbirth. | Elle était enceinte, et elle criait, étant en travail et dans les douleurs de l`enfantement. |
| And there was seen another sign in heaven; a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns. | Un autre signe parut encore dans le ciel; et voici, c`était un grand dragon rouge, ayant sept têtes et dix cornes, et sur ses têtes sept diadèmes. |
| And his tail was pulling a third part of the stars of heaven down to the earth, and the dragon took his place before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when the birth had taken place he might put an end to her child. | Sa queue entraînait le tiers des étoiles du ciel, et les jetait sur la terre. Le dragon se tint devant la femme qui allait enfanter, afin de dévorer son enfant, lorsqu`elle aurait enfanté. |
| And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat. | Elle enfanta un fils, qui doit paître toutes les nations avec une verge de fer. Et son enfant fut enlevé vers Dieu et vers son trône. |
| And the woman went in flight to the waste land, where she has a place made ready by God, so that there they may give her food a thousand, two hundred and sixty days. | Et la femme s`enfuit dans le désert, où elle avait un lieu préparé par Dieu, afin qu`elle y fût nourrie pendant mille deux cent soixante jours. |
| And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going out to the fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels made war, | Et il y eut guerre dans le ciel. Michel et ses anges combattirent contre le dragon. Et le dragon et ses anges combattirent, |
| And they were overcome, and there was no more place for them in heaven. | mais ils ne furent pas les plus forts, et leur place ne fut plus trouvée dans le ciel. |
| And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan, by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him. | Et il fut précipité, le grand dragon, le serpent ancien, appelé le diable et Satan, celui qui séduit toute la terre, il fut précipité sur la terre, et ses anges furent précipités avec lui. |
| And a great voice in heaven came to my ears, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because he who says evil against our brothers before our God day and night is forced down. | Et j`entendis dans le ciel une voix forte qui disait: Maintenant le salut est arrivé, et la puissance, et le règne de notre Dieu, et l`autorité de son Christ; car il a été précipité, l`accusateur de nos frères, celui qui les accusait devant notre Dieu jour et nuit. |
| And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death. | Ils l`ont vaincu à cause du sang de l`agneau et à cause de la parole de leur témoignage, et ils n`ont pas aimé leur vie jusqu`à craindre la mort. |
| Be glad then, O heavens, and you who are in them. But there is trouble for the earth and the sea: because the Evil One has come down to you, being very angry, having the knowledge that he has but a short time. | C`est pourquoi réjouissez-vous, cieux, et vous qui habitez dans les cieux. Malheur à la terre et à la mer! car le diable est descendu vers vous, animé d`une grande colère, sachant qu`il a peu de temps. |
| And when the dragon saw that he was forced down to the earth, he made cruel attacks on the woman who gave birth to the male child. | Quand le dragon vit qu`il avait été précipité sur la terre, il poursuivit la femme qui avait enfanté l`enfant mâle. |
| And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, so that she might go in flight into the waste land, to her place, where she is given food for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the snake. | Et les deux ailes du grand aigle furent données à la femme, afin qu`elle s`envolât au désert, vers son lieu, où elle est nourrie un temps, des temps, et la moitié d`un temps, loin de la face du serpent. |
| And the snake sent out of his mouth after the woman a river of water, so that she might be taken away by the stream. | Et, de sa bouche, le serpent lança de l`eau comme un fleuve derrière la femme, afin de l`entraîner par le fleuve. |
| And the earth gave help to the woman, and with open mouth took up the river which the dragon sent out of his mouth. | Et la terre secourut la femme, et la terre ouvrit sa bouche et engloutit le fleuve que le dragon avait lancé de sa bouche. |
| And the dragon was angry with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her seed, who keep the orders of God, and the witness of Jesus: | Et le dragon fut irrité contre la femme, et il s`en alla faire la guerre au restes de sa postérité, à ceux qui gardent les commandements de Dieu et qui ont le témoignage de Jésus. |
