Offenbarung 10 | English Standard Version

The Angel and the Little Scroll

1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, 3 and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. 4 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, 7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets. 8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” 10 And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. 11 And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”

Le petit livre

1 Puis je vis un [autre] ange puissant descendre du ciel, enveloppé d'une nuée. Au-dessus de sa tête était l'arc-en-ciel; son visage était comme le soleil et ses jambes comme des colonnes de feu. 2 Il tenait dans sa main un petit livre ouvert. Il posa son pied droit sur la mer et son pied gauche sur la terre, 3 et il cria d'une voix forte, comme un lion qui rugit. Quand il eut crié, les sept tonnerres firent entendre leur voix. 4 Quand les sept tonnerres eurent fini de parler, j'allais écrire, mais j'entendis du ciel une voix qui disait: «Marque du sceau du secret ce qu'ont dit les sept tonnerres, ne l'écris pas.» 5 Alors l'ange que j'avais vu debout sur la mer et sur la terre leva sa main [droite] vers le ciel 6 et jura par celui qui vit aux siècles des siècles, qui a créé le ciel et ce qui s'y trouve, la terre et ce qui s'y trouve ainsi que la mer et ce qui s'y trouve: «Il n'y aura plus de délai, 7 mais quand viendront les jours où l'on entendra le septième ange sonner de la trompette, le mystère de Dieu s'accomplira, comme il l'a annoncé à ses serviteurs les prophètes.» 8 La voix que j'avais entendue du ciel me parla de nouveau et me dit: «Va, prends le petit livre ouvert dans la main de l'ange qui se tient debout sur la mer et sur la terre.» 9 J'allai donc vers l'ange et lui demandai de me donner le petit livre. Il me dit: «Prends-le et avale-le; il sera amer dans ton ventre, mais dans ta bouche il sera doux comme du miel.» 10 Je pris le petit livre de la main de l'ange et je l'avalai. Dans ma bouche, il fut doux comme du miel*, mais quand je l'eus avalé, mon ventre fut rempli d'amertume. 11 Puis on me dit: «Il faut que tu prophétises de nouveau sur un grand nombre de peuples, de nations, de langues et de rois.»
