| 1 | Après cela, je vis descendre du ciel un autre ange, qui avait une grande autorité ; et la terre fut éclairée de sa gloire. | And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. | After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory. |
| 2 | Il cria d'une voix forte, disant : Elle est tombée, elle est tombée, Babylone la grande ! Elle est devenue une habitation de démons, un repaire de tout esprit impur, un repaire de tout oiseau impur et odieux, | And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. | And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. |
| 3 | parce que toutes les nations ont bu du vin de la fureur de son impudicité, et que les rois de la terre se sont livrés avec elle à l'impudicité, et que les marchands de la terre se sont enrichis par la puissance de son luxe. | For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. | For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness. |
| 4 | Et j'entendis du ciel une autre voix qui disait : Sortez du milieu d'elle, mon peuple, afin que vous ne participiez point à ses péchés, et que vous n'ayez point de part à ses fléaux. | And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. | And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: |
| 5 | Car ses péchés se sont accumulés jusqu'au ciel, et Dieu s'est souvenu de ses iniquités. | For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. | for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. |
| 6 | Payez-la comme elle a payé, et rendez-lui au double selon ses oeuvres. Dans la coupe où elle a versé, versez-lui au double. | Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. | Render unto her even as she rendered, and double [unto her] the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double. |
| 7 | Autant elle s'est glorifiée et plongée dans le luxe, autant donnez-lui de tourment et de deuil. Parce qu'elle dit en son coeur : Je suis assise en reine, je ne suis point veuve, et je ne verrai point de deuil ! | How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. | How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning. |
| 8 | A cause de cela, en un même jour, ses fléaux arriveront, la mort, le deuil et la famine, et elle sera consumée par le feu. Car il est puissant, le Seigneur Dieu qui l'a jugée. | Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. | Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her. |
| 9 | Et tous les rois de la terre, qui se sont livrés avec elle à l'impudicité et au luxe, pleureront et se lamenteront à cause d'elle, quand ils verront la fumée de son embrasement. | And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, | And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning, |
| 10 | Se tenant éloignés, dans la crainte de son tourment, ils diront : Malheur ! malheur ! La grande ville, Babylone, la ville puissante ! En une seule heure est venu ton jugement ! | Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. | standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. |
| 11 | Et les marchands de la terre pleurent et sont dans le deuil à cause d'elle, parce que personne n'achète plus leur cargaison, | And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: | And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their merchandise any more; |
| 12 | cargaison d'or, d'argent, de pierres précieuses, de perles, de fin lin, de pourpre, de soie, d'écarlate, de toute espèce de bois de senteur, de toute espèce d'objets d'ivoire, de toute espèce d'objets en bois très précieux, en airain, en fer et en marbre, | The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, | merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; |
| 13 | de cinnamome, d'aromates, de parfums, de myrrhe, d'encens, de vin, d'huile, de fine farine, de blé, de boeufs, de brebis, de chevaux, de chars, de corps et d'âmes d'hommes. | And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. | and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and [merchandise] of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men. |
| 14 | Les fruits que désirait ton âme sont allés loin de toi ; et toutes les choses délicates et magnifiques sont perdues pour toi, et tu ne les retrouveras plus. | And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. | And the fruits which thy soul lusted after are gone from thee, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from thee, and [men] shall find them no more at all. |
| 15 | Les marchands de ces choses, qui se sont enrichis par elle, se tiendront éloignés, dans la crainte de son tourment ; ils pleureront et seront dans le deuil, | The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, | The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning; |
| 16 | et diront : Malheur ! malheur ! La grande ville, qui était vêtue de fin lin, de pourpre et d'écarlate, et parée d'or, de pierres précieuses et de perles ! En une seule heure tant de richesses ont été détruites ! | And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! | saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearl! |
| 17 | Et tous les pilotes, tous ceux qui naviguent vers ce lieu, les marins, et tous ceux qui exploitent la mer, se tenaient éloignés, | For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, | for in an hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any wither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off, |
| 18 | et ils s'écriaient, en voyant la fumée de son embrasement : Quelle ville était semblable à la grande ville ? | And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! | and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city] is like the great city? |
| 19 | Ils jetaient de la poussière sur leurs têtes, ils pleuraient et ils étaient dans le deuil, ils criaient et disaient : Malheur ! malheur ! La grande ville, où se sont enrichis par son opulence tous ceux qui ont des navires sur la mer, en une seule heure elle a été détruite ! | And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. | And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein all that had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. |
| 20 | Ciel, réjouis-toi sur elle ! Et vous, les saints, les apôtres, et les prophètes, réjouissez-vous aussi ! Car Dieu vous a fait justice en la jugeant. | Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. | Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her. |
| 21 | Alors un ange puissant prit une pierre semblable à une grande meule, et il la jeta dans la mer, en disant : Ainsi sera précipitée avec violence Babylone, la grande ville, et elle ne sera plus trouvée. | And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. | And a strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all. |
| 22 | Et l'on n'entendra plus chez toi les sons des joueurs de harpe, des musiciens, des joueurs de flûte et des joueurs de trompette, on ne trouvera plus chez toi aucun artisan d'un métier quelconque, on n'entendra plus chez toi le bruit de la meule, | And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; | And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee; and the voice of a mill shall be heard no more at all in thee; |
| 23 | la lumière de la lampe ne brillera plus chez toi, et la voix de l'époux et de l'épouse ne sera plus entendue chez toi, parce que tes marchands étaient les grands de la terre, parce que toutes les nations ont été séduites par tes enchantements, | And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. | and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived. |
| 24 | et parce qu'on a trouvé chez elle le sang des prophètes et des saints et de tous ceux qui ont été égorgés sur la terre. | And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. | And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth. |
