Apocalipsis 9
Sainte Bible libre pour le monde
1Le cinquième ange sonna, et je vis une étoile du ciel qui était tombée sur la terre. La clé du puits de l'abîme lui fut donnée.
2Il ouvrit le puits de l'abîme, et une fumée monta du puits, comme la fumée d'une fournaise ardente. Le soleil et l'air furent obscurcis par la fumée du puits.
3Puis, de la fumée sortirent des sauterelles sur la terre, et un pouvoir leur fut donné, comme le pouvoir qu'ont les scorpions de la terre.
4Il leur fut dit de ne pas faire de mal à l'herbe de la terre, ni à aucune verdure, ni à aucun arbre, mais seulement aux personnes qui n'ont pas le sceau de Dieu sur leur front.
5Il leur fut donné le pouvoir, non de les tuer, mais de les tourmenter pendant cinq mois. Leur tourment était comme le tourment causé par un scorpion quand il pique un homme.
6En ces jours-là, les hommes chercheront la mort, et ne la trouveront en aucune façon. Ils désireront mourir, et la mort fuira loin d'eux.
7L'apparence des sauterelles était semblable à des chevaux préparés pour la guerre. Sur leurs têtes, il y avait comme des couronnes d'or, et leurs visages étaient comme des visages d'hommes.
8Elles avaient des cheveux comme des cheveux de femmes, et leurs dents étaient comme celles des lions.
9Elles avaient des cuirasses comme des cuirasses de fer. Le bruit de leurs ailes était comme le bruit de nombreux chars et de chevaux se précipitant au combat.
10Elles ont des queues comme celles des scorpions, avec des dards. C'est dans leurs queues qu'elles ont le pouvoir de faire du mal aux hommes pendant cinq mois.
11Elles ont sur elles comme roi l'ange de l'abîme. Son nom en hébreu est « Abaddon », mais en grec, il a pour nom « Apollyon ».
12Le premier malheur est passé. Voici, il y a encore deux malheurs qui viennent après cela.
13Le sixième ange sonna. J'entendis une voix venant des cornes de l'autel d'or qui est devant Dieu,
14disant au sixième ange qui avait la trompette : « Libère les quatre anges qui sont liés sur le grand fleuve, l'Euphrate ! »
15Les quatre anges furent libérés, eux qui avaient été préparés pour cette heure, ce jour, ce mois et cette année, afin de tuer le tiers de l'humanité.
16Le nombre des armées de la cavalerie était de deux cents millions. J'en entendis le nombre.
17Ainsi je vis les chevaux dans la vision et ceux qui étaient assis sur eux, ayant des cuirasses rouge feu, bleu jacinthe et jaune soufre ; et les têtes des chevaux ressemblaient à des têtes de lions. De leurs bouches sortent du feu, de la fumée et du soufre.
18Par ces trois fléaux, le tiers de l'humanité fut tué : par le feu, la fumée et le soufre, qui sortaient de leurs bouches.
19Car le pouvoir des chevaux est dans leurs bouches et dans leurs queues. En effet, leurs queues sont comme des serpents, et ont des têtes ; et c'est avec elles qu'ils font du mal.
20Le reste de l'humanité, ceux qui ne furent pas tués par ces fléaux, ne se repentirent pas des œuvres de leurs mains, de manière à ne plus adorer les démons, et les idoles d'or, d'argent, de bronze, de pierre et de bois, qui ne peuvent ni voir, ni entendre, ni marcher.
21Ils ne se repentirent pas de leurs meurtres, ni de leurs sorcelleries, ni de leur immoralité sexuelle, ni de leurs vols.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y EL quinto ángel tocó la trompeta, y vi una estrella que cayó del cielo en la tierra; y le fué dada la llave del pozo del abismo.
2Y abrió el pozo del abismo, y subió humo del pozo como el humo de un gran horno; y oscurecióse el sol y el aire por el humo del pozo.
3Y del humo salieron langostas sobre la tierra; y fuéles dada potestad, como tienen potestad los escorpiones de la tierra.
4Y les fué mandado que no hiciesen daño á la hierba de la tierra, ni á ninguna cosa verde, ni á ningún árbol, sino solamente á los hombres que no tienen la señal de Dios en sus frentes.
5Y les fué dado que no los matasen, sino que los atormentasen cinco meses; y su tormento era como tormento de escorpión, cuando hiere al hombre.
6Y en aquellos días buscarán los hombres la muerte, y no la hallarán; y desearán morir, y la muerte huirá de ellos.
7Y el parecer de las langostas era semejante á caballos aparejados para la guerra: y sobre sus cabezas tenían como coronas semejantes al oro; y sus caras como caras de hombres.
8Y tenían cabellos como cabellos de mujeres: y sus dientes eran como dientes de leones.
9Y tenían corazas como corazas de hierro; y el estruendo de sus alas, como el ruido de carros que con muchos caballos corren á la batalla.
10Y tenían colas semejantes á las de los escorpiones, y tenían en sus colas aguijones; y su poder era de hacer daño á los hombres cinco meses.
11Y tienen sobre sí por rey al ángel del abismo, cuyo nombre en hebraico es Abaddon, y en griego, Apollyon.
12El primer ¡Ay! es pasado: he aquí, vienen aún dos ayes después de estas cosas.
13Y el sexto ángel tocó la trompeta; y oí una voz de los cuatro cuernos del altar de oro que estaba delante de Dios,
14Diciendo al sexto ángel que tenía la trompeta: Desata los cuatro ángeles que están atados en el gran río Eufrates.
15Y fueron desatados los cuatro ángeles que estaban aparejados para la hora y día y mes y año, para matar la tercera parte de los hombres.
16Y el número del ejército de los de á caballo era doscientos millones. Y oí el número de ellos.
17Y así vi los caballos en visión, y los que sobre ellos estaban sentados, los cuales tenían corazas de fuego, de jacinto, y de azufre. Y las cabezas de los caballos eran como cabezas de leones; y de la boca de ellos salía fuego y humo y azufre.
18De estas tres plagas fué muerta la tercera parte de los hombres: del fuego, y del humo, y del azufre, que salían de la boca de ellos.
19Porque su poder está en su boca y en sus colas: porque sus colas eran semejantes á serpientes, y tenían cabezas, y con ellas dañan.
20Y los otros hombres que no fueron muertos con estas plagas, aun no se arrepintieron de las obras de sus manos, para que no adorasen á los demonios, y á las imágenes de oro, y de plata, y de metal, y de piedra, y de madera; las cuales no pueden ver, ni oir, ni andar:
21Y no se arrepintieron de sus homicidios, ni de sus hechicerías, ni de su fornicación, ni de sus hurtos.
King James Version
1And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
12One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15And 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.
16And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17And 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.
18By 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.
19For 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.
20And 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:
21Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
World English Bible
1The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.
2He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.
3Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.
5They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.
6In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.
8They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
9They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
10They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
11They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon”, but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon”.
12The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
13The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
15The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.
16The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
17Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they harm.
20The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can’t see, hear, or walk.
21They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
