| 1 | 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. | Et quand l'Agneau eut ouvert l'un des sceaux, je regardai, et j'entendis l'un des quatre animaux, qui disait, comme avec une voix de tonnerre: Viens, et vois. | 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 | 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. | Et je regardai, et je vis un cheval blanc; et celui qui était monté dessus avait un arc, et il lui fut donné une couronne; et il sortit victorieux, et afin de vaincre. | 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. |

| 8 | And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. | Et je regardai, et je vis un cheval fauve; et celui qui était monté dessus avait nom la Mort, et l'Enfer suivait après lui; et il leur fut donné puissance sur la quatrième partie de la terre, pour tuer avec l'épée, par la famine, par la mortalité, et par les bêtes sauvages de la terre. | And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him.

| 9 | 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: | Et quand il eut ouvert le cinquième sceau, je vis sous l'autel les âmes de ceux qui avaient été tués pour la parole de Dieu, et pour le témoignage qu'ils avaient maintenu. | 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: |
| 10 | And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? | Et elles criaient à haute voix, disant: Jusqu'à quand, Seigneur, qui es saint et véritable, ne juges-tu point, et ne venges-tu point notre sang de ceux qui habitent sur la terre? | and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? |

| 12 | 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; | Et je regardai quand il eut ouvert le sixième sceau, et voici, il se fit un grand tremblement de terre, et le soleil devint noir comme un sac fait de poil, et la lune devint toute comme du sang. | 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 | 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. | Et les étoiles du ciel tombèrent sur la terre, comme lorsque le figuier étant agité par un grand vent, laisse tomber ses figues encore vertes. | 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 | And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. | Et 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 was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. |
| 15 | 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; | Et les Rois de la terre, les Princes, les riches, les capitaines, les puissants, tout esclave, et tout homme libre se cachèrent dans les cavernes, et entre les rochers des montagnes. | 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 | 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: | Et ils disaient aux montagnes et aux rochers: tombez sur nous, et cachez-nous de devant la face de celui qui est assis sur le trône, et de devant la colère de l'Agneau; | 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 | For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? | Car la grande journée de sa colère est venue; et qui est-ce qui pourra subsister? | for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand? |
