| 1 | Je regardai, quand l'agneau ouvrit un des sept sceaux, et j'entendis l'un des quatre êtres vivants qui disait comme d'une voix de tonnerre : Viens. | And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. | And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. |
| 2 | Je regardai, et voici, parut un cheval blanc. Celui qui le montait avait un arc ; une couronne lui fut donnée, et il partit en vainqueur et pour vaincre. | And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. | And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. |

| 4 | Et il sortit un autre cheval, roux. Celui qui le montait reçut le pouvoir d'enlever la paix de la terre, afin que les hommes s'égorgeassent les uns les autres ; et une grande épée lui fut donnée. | And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. | And another [horse] came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. |
| 5 | Quand il ouvrit le troisième sceau, j'entendis le troisième être vivant qui disait : Viens. Je regardai, et voici, parut un cheval noir.

| 6 | Et j'entendis au milieu des quatre êtres vivants une voix qui disait : Une mesure de blé pour un denier, et trois mesures d'orge pour un denier ; mais ne fais point de mal à l'huile et au vin. | And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. | And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not. |

| 8 | Je regardai, et voici, parut un cheval d'une couleur pâle. Celui qui le montait se nommait la mort, et le séjour des morts l'accompagnait. Le pouvoir leur fut donné sur le quart de la terre, pour faire périr les hommes par l'épée, par la famine, par la mortalité, et par les bêtes sauvages de la terre. | And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

| 9 | Quand il ouvrit le cinquième sceau, je vis sous l'autel les âmes de ceux qui avaient été immolés à cause de la parole de Dieu et à cause du témoignage qu'ils avaient rendu. | And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: | And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: |

| 11 | Une robe blanche fut donnée à chacun d'eux ; et il leur fut dit de se tenir en repos quelque temps encore, jusqu'à ce que fût complet le nombre de leurs compagnons de service et de leurs frères qui devaient être mis à mort comme eux. | And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. | And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled [their course]. |
| 12 | Je regardai, quand il ouvrit le sixième sceau ; et il y eut un grand tremblement de terre, le soleil devint noir comme un sac de crin, la lune entière devint comme du sang, | And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; | And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; |
| 13 | et les étoiles du ciel tombèrent sur la terre, comme lorsqu'un figuier secoué par un vent violent jette ses figues vertes. | And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. | and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind. |
| 14 | Le ciel se retira comme un livre qu'on roule ; et toutes les montagnes et les îles furent remuées de leurs places. | And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. | And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. |
| 15 | Les rois de la terre, les grands, les chefs militaires, les riches, les puissants, tous les esclaves et les hommes libres, se cachèrent dans les cavernes et dans les rochers des montagnes. | And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; | And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; |
| 16 | Et ils disaient aux montagnes et aux rochers : Tombez sur nous, et cachez-nous devant la face de celui qui est assis sur le trône, et devant la colère de l'agneau ; | And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: | and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: |
| 17 | car le grand jour de sa colère est venu, et qui peut subsister ? | For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? | for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand? |
