Apocalypse 19
Louis Segond
19 Après cela, j'entendis dans le ciel comme une voix forte d'une foule nombreuse qui disait: Alléluia! Le salut, la gloire, et la puissance sont à notre Dieu,
2 parce que ses jugements sont véritables et justes; car il a jugé la grande prostituée qui corrompait la terre par son impudicité, et il a vengé le sang de ses serviteurs en le redemandant de sa main.
3 Et ils dirent une seconde fois: Alléluia! ...et sa fumée monte aux siècles des siècles.
4 Et les vingt-quatre vieillards et les quatre êtres vivants se prosternèrent et adorèrent Dieu assis sur le trône, en disant: Amen! Alléluia!
5 Et une voix sortit du trône, disant: Louez notre Dieu, vous tous ses serviteurs, vous qui le craignez, petits et grands!
6 Et j'entendis comme une voix d'une foule nombreuse, comme un bruit de grosses eaux, et comme un bruit de forts tonnerres, disant: Alléluia! Car le Seigneur notre Dieu tout puissant est entré dans son règne.
7 Réjouissons-nous et soyons dans l'allégresse, et donnons-lui gloire; car les noces de l'agneau sont venues, et son épouse s'est préparée,
8 et il lui a été donné de se revêtir d'un fin lin, éclatant, pur. Car le fin lin, ce sont les oeuvres justes des saints.
9 Et l'ange me dit: Écris: Heureux ceux qui sont appelés au festin des noces de l'agneau! Et il me dit: Ces paroles sont les véritables paroles de Dieu.
10 Et je tombai à ses pieds pour l'adorer; mais il me dit: Garde-toi de le faire! Je suis ton compagnon de service, et celui de tes frères qui ont le témoignage de Jésus. Adore Dieu. -Car le témoignage de Jésus est l'esprit de la prophétie.
11 Puis je vis le ciel ouvert, et voici, parut un cheval blanc. Celui qui le montait s'appelle Fidèle et Véritable, et il juge et combat avec justice.
12 Ses yeux étaient comme une flamme de feu; sur sa tête étaient plusieurs diadèmes; il avait un nom écrit, que personne ne connaît, si ce n'est lui-même;
13 et il était revêtu d'un vêtement teint de sang. Son nom est la Parole de Dieu.
14 Les armées qui sont dans le ciel le suivaient sur des chevaux blancs, revêtues d'un fin lin, blanc, pur.
15 De sa bouche sortait une épée aiguë, pour frapper les nations; il les paîtra avec une verge de fer; et il foulera la cuve du vin de l'ardente colère du Dieu tout puissant.
16 Il avait sur son vêtement et sur sa cuisse un nom écrit: Roi des rois et Seigneur des seigneurs.
17 Et je vis un ange qui se tenait dans le soleil. Et il cria d'une voix forte, disant à tous les oiseaux qui volaient par le milieu du ciel: Venez, rassemblez-vous pour le grand festin de Dieu,
18 afin de manger la chair des rois, la chair des chefs militaires, la chair des puissants, la chair des chevaux et de ceux qui les montent, la chair de tous, libres et esclaves, petits et grands.
19 Et je vis la bête, et les rois de la terre, et leurs armées rassemblés pour faire la guerre à celui qui était assis sur le cheval et à son armée.
20 Et la bête fut prise, et avec elle le faux prophète, qui avait fait devant elle les prodiges par lesquels il avait séduit ceux qui avaient pris la marque de la bête et adoré son image. Ils furent tous les deux jetés vivants dans l'étang ardent de feu et de soufre.
21 Et les autres furent tués par l'épée qui sortait de la bouche de celui qui était assis sur le cheval; et tous les oiseaux se rassasièrent de leur chair.
Revelation 19
English Standard Version
Rejoicing in Heaven
19 After this I heard (A)what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
(B)Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2 for (C)his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged (D)the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and (E)has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
3 Once more they cried out,
“Hallelujah!
(F)The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”
4 And (G)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” 5 And from the throne came a voice saying,
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
6 Then I heard what seemed to be (J)the voice of a great multitude, like (K)the roar of many waters and (L)like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty (M)reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for (N)the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and (O)his Bride has made herself ready;
8 (P)it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure”—
for the fine linen is (Q)the righteous deeds of the saints.
9 And the angel said[a] to me, “Write this: (R)Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, (S)“These are the true words of God.” 10 Then (T)I fell down at his feet to worship him, (U)but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to (V)the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The Rider on a White Horse
11 Then I saw (W)heaven opened, and behold, (X)a white horse! The one sitting on it is called (Y)Faithful and True, and (Z)in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 (AA)His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are (AB)many diadems, and he has (AC)a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in (AD)a robe dipped in[b] blood, and the name by which he is called is (AE)The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, (AF)arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, (AG)were following him on white horses. 15 (AH)From his mouth comes a sharp sword (AI)with which to strike down the nations, and (AJ)he will rule[c] them with a rod of iron. (AK)He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh (AL)he has a name written, (AM)King of kings and Lord of lords.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to (AN)all the birds that fly directly overhead, (AO)“Come, gather for (AP)the great supper of God, 18 (AQ)to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,[d] both small and great.” 19 And I saw (AR)the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies (AS)gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it (AT)the false prophet (AU)who in its presence[e] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who (AV)worshiped its image. These two were (AW)thrown alive into the lake of (AX)fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword (AY)that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and (AZ)all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

King James Version
19 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
