Ap 10 (King James)

¹ And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
² And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
³ And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
⁴ And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
⁵ And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
⁶ And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
⁷ But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
⁸ And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
⁹ And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
¹⁰ And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
¹¹ And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Ap 10 (Segond 21)

Un 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.»
