Apocalypse 11
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
Les deux témoins
11 On me donna un roseau semblable à une verge, en disant: Lève-toi, et mesure le temple de Dieu, l’autel, et ceux qui y adorent. 2 Mais le parvis extérieur du temple, laisse-le de côté, et ne le mesure pas; car il a été donné aux nations, et elles fouleront aux pieds la ville sainte[a] pendant quarante-deux mois.
3 Je donnerai à mes deux témoins le pouvoir de prophétiser, revêtus de sacs, pendant mille deux cent soixante jours. 4 Ce sont les deux oliviers et les deux chandeliers qui se tiennent devant le Seigneur de la terre. 5 Si quelqu’un veut leur faire du mal, du feu sort de leur bouche et dévore leurs ennemis; et si quelqu’un veut leur faire du mal, il faut qu’il soit tué de cette manière. 6 Ils ont le pouvoir de fermer le ciel, afin qu’il ne tombe point de pluie pendant les jours de leur prophétie; et ils ont le pouvoir de changer les eaux en sang, et de frapper la terre de toute espèce de plaies, chaque fois qu’ils le voudront.
7 Quand ils auront achevé leur témoignage, la bête qui monte de l’abîme leur fera la guerre, les vaincra, et les tuera. 8 Et leurs cadavres seront sur la place de la grande ville, qu’on nomme symboliquement Sodome[b] et Egypte[c], là même où leur Seigneur a été crucifié. 9 Des hommes d’entre les peuples, les tribus, les langues, et les nations, verront leurs cadavres pendant trois jours et demi, et ils ne permettront pas que leurs cadavres soient mis dans un sépulcre. 10 Et à cause d’eux, les habitants de la terre se réjouiront et seront dans l’allégresse, et ils s’enverront des présents les uns aux autres, parce que ces deux prophètes ont tourmenté les habitants de la terre.
11 Après les trois jours et demi, un esprit de vie, venant de Dieu, entra en eux, et ils se tinrent sur leurs pieds; et une grande crainte s’empara de ceux qui les voyaient. 12 Et ils entendirent du ciel une voix qui leur disait: Montez ici! Et ils montèrent au ciel dans la nuée; et leurs ennemis les virent. 13 A cette heure-là, il y eut un grand tremblement de terre, et la dixième partie de la ville tomba; sept mille hommes furent tués dans ce tremblement de terre, et les autres furent effrayés et donnèrent gloire au Dieu du ciel.
14 Le second malheur est passé. Voici, le troisième malheur vient bientôt.
La septième trompette
15 Le septième ange sonna de la trompette. Et il y eut dans le ciel de fortes voix qui disaient: Le royaume du monde est remis à notre Seigneur et à son Christ; et il régnera aux siècles des siècles.
16 Et les vingt-quatre vieillards, qui étaient assis devant Dieu sur leur trône, se prosternèrent sur leur face, et ils adorèrent Dieu, 17 en disant: Nous te rendons grâces, Seigneur, Dieu tout-puissant, qui es, et qui étais, car tu as saisi ta grande puissance et pris possession de ton règne. 18 Les nations se sont irritées; ta colère est venue, et le temps est venu de juger les morts, de récompenser tes serviteurs les prophètes, les saints et ceux qui craignent ton nom, les petits et les grands, et d’exterminer ceux qui détruisent la terre.
19 Et le temple de Dieu dans le ciel fut ouvert, et l’arche de son alliance apparut dans son temple. Et il y eut des éclairs, des voix, des coups de tonnerre, un tremblement de terre, et une forte grêle.

The Two Witnesses
11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod(A) and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court;(B) do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles.(C) They will trample on the holy city(D) for 42 months.(E) 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses,(F) and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,(G) clothed in sackcloth.”(H) 4 They are “the two olive trees”(I) and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a](J) 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies.(K) This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.(L) 6 They have power to shut up the heavens(M) so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying;(N) and they have power to turn the waters into blood(O) and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast(P) that comes up from the Abyss(Q) will attack them,(R) and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city(S)—which is figuratively called Sodom(T) and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.(U) 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation(V) will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.(W) 10 The inhabitants of the earth(X) will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts,(Y) because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days(Z) the breath[b] of life from God entered them,(AA) and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.”(AB) And they went up to heaven in a cloud,(AC) while their enemies looked on.
13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake(AD) and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory(AE) to the God of heaven.(AF)
14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.(AG)
The Seventh Trumpet
15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,(AH) and there were loud voices(AI) in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,(AJ)
and he will reign for ever and ever.”(AK)
16 And the twenty-four elders,(AL) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces(AM) and worshiped God, 17 saying:
“We give thanks(AN) to you, Lord God Almighty,(AO)
the One who is and who was,(AP)
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.(AQ)
18 The nations were angry,(AR)
and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,(AS)
and for rewarding your servants the prophets(AT)
and your people who revere your name,
both great and small(AU)—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then God’s temple(AV) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.(AW) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,(AX) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.(AY)

The Two Witnesses
11 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Come and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,(A) 2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.(B) 3 And I will grant my two witnesses authority to prophesy for one thousand two hundred sixty days, wearing sackcloth.”(C)
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.(D) 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes; anyone who wants to harm them must be killed in this manner.(E) 6 They have authority to shut the sky, so that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have authority over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.(F)
7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit will wage war on them and conquer them and kill them,(G) 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that is prophetically[a] called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.(H) 9 For three and a half days members of the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and the inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and exchange presents, because these two prophets tormented the inhabitants of the earth.(I)
11 But after the three and a half days, the breath[b] of life from God entered the two witnesses,[c] and they stood on their feet, and those who saw them were terrified.(J) 12 Then they[d] heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud while their enemies watched them.(K) 13 At that moment there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.(L)
14 The second woe has passed. The third woe is coming very soon.(M)
The Seventh Trumpet
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord
and of his Messiah,[e]
and he will reign forever and ever.”(N)
16 Then the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,(O) 17 singing,
“We give you thanks, Lord God Almighty,
who are and who were,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign.(P)
18 The nations raged,
but your wrath has come,
and the time for judging the dead,
for rewarding your servants, the prophets
and saints and all who fear your name,
both small and great,
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”(Q)
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple, and there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.(R)
