Apocalypse 15
La Bible du Semeur
Le signe des sept derniers fléaux
15 Puis je vis dans le ciel un autre signe grandiose qui me remplit d’étonnement : sept anges portant sept fléaux, les sept derniers par lesquels se manifeste la colère de Dieu. 2 Je vis aussi comme une mer cristalline mêlée de feu. Ceux qui avaient vaincu la bête, son image et le nombre de son nom se tenaient sur la mer de cristal. S’accompagnant de harpes divines, 3 ils chantaient le cantique de Moïse[a], le serviteur de Dieu, et le cantique de l’Agneau. Ils chantaient :
Seigneur, Dieu, Tout-Puissant,
tes œuvres sont grandes et admirables.
Roi de tous les peuples,
ce que tu fais est juste
et conforme à la vérité !
4 Qui oserait, Seigneur,
refuser de te craindre
et de te rendre gloire ?
Car toi seul tu es saint ;
tous les peuples viendront
pour se prosterner devant toi,
car il deviendra manifeste
que tes actions sont justes.
Les sept coupes de la colère de Dieu[b]
5 Après cela je vis s’ouvrir dans le ciel le Temple qui abritait le tabernacle du témoignage.
6 Les sept anges porteurs des sept fléaux sortirent du Temple. Ils étaient vêtus de tuniques d’un lin pur, éclatant, et leur taille était serrée par une ceinture d’or.
7 L’un des quatre êtres vivants remit aux sept anges sept coupes d’or remplies de la colère du Dieu qui vit éternellement. 8 Alors la gloire et la puissance de Dieu remplirent le Temple de fumée[c], en sorte que personne ne put y pénétrer tant que les sept fléaux, déclenchés par les sept anges, ne s’étaient pas accomplis.
Revelation 15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Angels with the Seven Last Plagues
15 Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and amazing: seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is ended.(A)
2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mixed with fire and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.(B) 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:
“Great and amazing are your deeds,
Lord God the Almighty!
Just and true are your ways,
King of the nations
4 Lord, who will not fear
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your judgments have been revealed.”(D)
5 After this I looked, and the temple of the tent[b] of witness in heaven was opened, 6 and out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, robed in pure bright linen,[c] with golden sashes across their chests. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever;(E) 8 and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were ended.(F)
Revelation 15
King James Version
15 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
Revelation 15
Modern English Version
The Angels With the Last Plagues
15 I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. 3 They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:
“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways,
O King of saints!
4 Who shall not fear You, O Lord,
and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy.
All nations shall come
and worship before You,
for Your judgments have been revealed.”[a]
5 After this I looked. And now the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. 6 The seven angels came out of the temple with the seven plagues. They were clothed in pure, bright linen, having their chests wrapped with golden sashes. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
