12 Voilà un malheur passé ; en voici encore deux autres qui viennent après.

13 Alors le sixième ange sonna de la trompette, et j'entendis une voix qui venoit des quatre cornes de l'autel d'or, qui est devant Dieu;

14 Laquelle dit au sixième ange qui avoit la trompette: Délie les quatre anges qui sont liés sur le grand fleuve de l'Euphrate.

15 Aussitôt furent déliés les quatre anges qui étoient prêts pour l'heure, le jour, le mois, et l'année, afin de tuer la troisième partie des hommes.

16 Et le nombre de l'armée à cheval étoit de deux cents millions ; car j'en ouïs le nombre.

17 Et je vis ainsi les chevaux dans ma vision; ceux qui étoient montés dessus avoient des cuirasses de couleur de feu, et d'hyacinthe, et de soufre; les têtes des chevaux étoient comme des têtes de lions; et il sortoit de leur bouche du feu, de la fumée, et du soufre.

18 La troisième partie des hommes fut tuée par ces trois choses, savoir par le feu, par la fumée, et par le soufre, qui sortoient de leur bouche.

19 Car le pouvoir de ces chevaux étoit dans leurs bouches, et dans leurs queues, qui étoient semblables à des serpens, et ces queues avoient des têtes, par lesquelles elles faisoient du mal.

20. Et le reste des hommes, qui ne furent pas tués par ces plaies, ne se repentit pourtant pas des œuvres de leurs mains, pour cesser d'adorer les démons, et les idoles d'or, d'argent, d'airain, de pierre, et de bois, qui ne peu

12 One woe is past: and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions and out of their mouths issued fire, and smoke, and brimstone.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood:

which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

CHAP. X.

An angel with a book.

AND I saw another mighty

angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud; and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven,

6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, That there should be time no longer :

7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall

voix, et sonneroit de la trompette, le mystère de Dieu seroit accompli, comme il l'a déclaré à ses serviteurs les prophètes.

8 Et la voix que j'avois ouïe du ciel me parla encore, et me dit: Va, prends le petit livre ouvert, qui est dans la main de l'ange qui se tient sur la mer et sur la terre.

9 Je m'en allai donc vers l'ange, et je lui dis: Donne-moi le petit livre; et il me dit: Prend-le, et le dévore; il te causera de l'amertume au ventre, mais dans ta bouche il sera doux comme du miel.

10 Je pris donc le petit livre de la main de l'ange, et je le dévorai; et il étoit doux dans ma bouche comme du miel, mais quand je l'eus avalé, il me causa de l'amertume dans le ventre.

11 Alors il me dit: Il faut que tu prophétises encore, touchant plusieurs peuples, nations, et hommes de diverses langues, et touchant plusieurs rois.

begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bit

:

11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

CHAP. XI.

The two witnesses prophesy.

AND there was given me a

reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3 And I will give power unto

témoins le pouvoir de prophétiser durant douze cents soixante jours, étant vêtus de sacs.

4 Ce sont les deux oliviers, et les deux chandeliers, qui sont toujours en la présence du Seigneur de la terre.

5 Et si quelqu'un leur veut nuire, il sortira de leur bouche un feu, qui dévorera leurs ennemis; car si quelqu'un leur veut nuire, il faut qu'il soit tué de cette manière.

6 Ils ont le pouvoir de fermer le ciel, afin qu'il ne pleuve point pendant qu'ils prophétiseront; ils ont aussi le pouvoir de changer les eaux en sang, et de frapper la terre de toute sorte de plaies, toutes les fois qu'ils le voudront.

7 Et quand ils auront achevé de rendre leur témoignage, la bête qui monte de l'abîme leur fera la guerre, et les vaincra, et

les tuera.

8 Et leurs corps morts demeureront étendus dans les places de la grande cité, qui est appelée spirituellement Sodome et Egypte, où notre Seigneur a été crucifié.

9 Et les gens de divers peuples, et de diverses tribus, langues et nations, verront leurs corps morts pendant trois jours et demi, et ne permettront pas que leurs corps morts soient mis dans le sépul

cre.

10 Et les habitans de la terre se réjouiront à leur sujet, et s'abandonneront à la joie, et s'enverront des présens les uns aux autres, parceque ces deux prophètes auront tourmenté les habitans de la terre.

11 Mais après ces trois jours et demi, l'Esprit de vie envoyé de Dieu entra en eux ; et ils se rele

my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

4 These are the two olivetrees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies; and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed..

6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they

vèrent sur leurs pieds, et une grande crainte saisit ceux qui les virent.

12 Après cela ils entendirent `une forte voix qui venoit du ciel, et qui leur dit: Montez ici; et ils montèrent au ciel dans une nuée, et leurs ennemis les virent.

13 A cette même heure il se fit un grand tremblement de terre; et la dixième partie de la ville tomba, et sept mille hommes furent tués dans ce tremblement de terre; et les autres furent effrayés, et donnèrent gloire au Dieu du ciel.

mal

14 Le second malheur est passé; voici le troisième heur qui viendra bientôt.

15 Le septième ange donc sonna de la trompette; et de grandes voix se firent entendre dans le ciel, qui disoient: Les royaumes du monde sont soumis à notre Seigneur, et à son Christ; et il règnera aux siècles des siècles.

16 Alors les vingt-quatre vieillards, qui sont assis sur leurs trônes devant Dieu, se prosternèrent sur leurs visages, et adorèrent Dieu;

17 Disant: Nous te rendons

graces, Seigneur Dieu tout-puissant, QUI ES, QUI ETOIS, et QUI SERAS, de ce que tu as fait éclater ta grande puissance, et de ce que tu es entré dans ton règue.

18 Les nations s'étoient irritées; mais ta colère est venue, et le tems est arrivé que tu dois juger les morts, et rendre la récompense à tes serviteurs les prophètes, et aux saints, et à ceux qui craignent ton nom, petits et grands, et détruire ceux qui ont corrompu la terre.

19 Alors le temple de Dien

stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake; and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe is past; and behold, the third woe cometh quick.

15 And the seventh angel sounded: and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19 And the temple of God
