1 And a great voice out of the house of God came to my ears, saying to the seven angels, Go, and let that which is in the seven vessels of the wrath of God come down on the earth.
2 And the first went, and let what was in his vessel come down on the earth; and it became an evil poisoning wound on the men who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image.
3 And the second let what was in his vessel come out into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea came to an end.
4 And the third let what was in his vessel come out into the rivers and the fountains of water; and they became blood.
5 And the voice of the angel of the waters came to my ears, saying, True and upright is your judging, O Holy One, who is and was from all time:
6 For they made the blood of saints and prophets come out like a stream, and blood have you given them for drink; which is their right reward.
7 And a voice came from the altar, saying, Even so, O Lord God, Ruler of all, true and full of righteousness is your judging.
8 And the fourth let what was in his vessel come out on the sun; and power was given to it that men might be burned with fire.
9 And men were burned with great heat: and they said evil things against the name of the God who has authority over these punishments; and they were not turned from their evil ways to give him glory.
10 And the fifth let what was in his vessel come out on the high seat of the beast; and his kingdom was made dark; and they were biting their tongues for pain.
11 And they said evil things against the God of heaven because of their pain and their wounds; and they were not turned from their evil works.
12 And the sixth let what was in his vessel come out on the great river Euphrates; and it became dry, so that the way might be made ready for the kings from the east.
13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, like frogs.
14 For they are evil spirits, working signs; who go out even to the kings of all the earth, to get them together to the war of the great day of God, the Ruler of all.
15 (See, I come as a thief. Happy is he who is watching and keeps his robes, so that he may not go unclothed, and his shame be seen.)
16 And they got them together into the place which is named in Hebrew Armageddon.
17 And the seventh let what was in his vessel come out on the air; and there came out a great voice from the house of God, from the high seat, saying, It is done.
18 And there were flames and voices and thunders; and there was a great earth-shock so that never, from the time when men were on the earth, had there been so great an earth-shock, so full of power.
19 And the great town was cut into three parts, and the towns of the nations came to destruction: and Babylon the great came into mind before God, to be given the cup of the wine of his wrath.
20 And every island went in flight, and the mountains were seen no longer.
21 And great drops of ice, every one about the weight of a talent, came down out of heaven on men: and men said evil things against God because of the punishment of the ice-drops; for it is very great.
1 Et j'entendis une grande voix venant du temple, qui disait aux sept anges: Allez et versez sur la terre les coupes de la colère de Dieu.
2 Et le premier ange s'en alla, et versa sa coupe sur la terre; et les hommes qui avaient le trait distinctif de la malignité, et ceux qui adoraient sa représentation, furent frappés d'un ulcère fétide et atroce.
3 Le second ange versa sa coupe dans la mer, qui devint comme le sang d'un mort; et tout ce qui avait vie dans la mer, mourut.
4 Le troisième ange versa sa coupe sur les fleuves et sur les sources d'eaux; et ils devinrent du sang.
5 Et j'entendis l'ange des eaux, qui disait: Tu es juste, Seigneur, QUI ES, et QUI ÉTAIS, et QUI SERAS saint, parce que tu as exercé ces jugements.
6 Parce qu'ils ont répandu le sang des saints et des prophètes, tu leur as donné du sang à boire, et ils le méritent.
7 Et j'en entendis un autre du côté de l'autel, qui disait: Oui, Seigneur Dieu Tout-Puissant, tes jugements sont véritables et justes.
8 Et le quatrième ange versa sa coupe sur le soleil, et il lui fut donné de brûler les hommes par le feu.
9 Et les hommes furent brûlés par une grande chaleur, et ils blasphémèrent le nom de Dieu, qui a puissance sur ces plaies; et ils ne se repentirent point pour lui donner gloire.
10 Le cinquième ange versa sa coupe sur le trône de la malignité; et son royaume devint ténébreux; et les hommes se mordaient la langue de douleur.
11 Et à cause de leurs douleurs et de leurs plaies, ils blasphémèrent le Dieu du ciel; et ils ne se repentirent point de leurs oeuvres.
12 Le sixième ange versa sa coupe sur le grand fleuve de l'Euphrate; et son eau sécha, pour que le chemin des rois de l'Orient fût préparé.
13 Et je vis sortir de la gueule de la suprématie, et de la gueule de la malignité, et de la bouche du faux prophète, trois esprits pervers, semblables à des grenouilles.
14 Car ce sont des esprits de contradictions, qui font des prodiges, quivont vers les rois de la terre et du monde entier, afin de lesrassembler pour le combat du grand jour du Dieu Tout-Puissant.
15 Voici, je viens comme un voleur. Heureux celui qui veille, et qui garde ses vêtements, afin qu'il ne marche pas nu, et qu'on ne voie pas sa honte.
16 Et on les rassembla dans le lieu qui s'appelle en hébreu Armageddon.
17 Le septième ange versa sa coupe dans l'air; et il sortit du temple du ciel, du trône une grande voix, qui disait: C'en est fait.
18 Et il y eut des voix, des tonnerres, des éclairs, et un grand tremblement de terre; un si grand tremblement, qu'il n'y en avait jamais eu de pareil depuis qu'il y a des hommes sur la terre.
19 Et la grande cité fut divisée en trois parties; les villes des nations furent renversées, et Dieu se souvint de la grande Babylone, pour lui donner la coupe du vin de la fureur de sa colère.
20 Et toute île s'enfuit, et les montagnes ne furent plus trouvées.
21 Et il tomba du ciel sur les hommes une grosse grêle, du poids d'un talent; et les hommes blasphémèrent Dieu, à cause du fléau de la grêle, parce que la plaie qu'elle causa fut fort grande.
