10 And I saw another strong angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow on his head; and the face of him was as the sun, and the feet of him as a pillar of fire.

And he had in his hand a little book opened; and he set his right foot on the sea, and the left foot on the earth [forsooth his left foot on the earth].

And he cried with a great voice, as a lion when he roareth; and when he had cried, the seven thunders spake their voices.

And when the seven thunders had spoken their voices, I was to write [I was to writing]. And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Mark thou [Sign thou, or mark,] what things the seven thunders spake, and do not thou write them.

And the angel whom I saw standing above the sea, and above the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven,

and swore by him that liveth into worlds of worlds, that made of nought heaven, and those things that be in it, and the earth, and those things that be in it, and the sea, and those things that be in it, that time shall no more be.

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to trumpet, the mystery of God shall be ended [when he shall begin to sing in trump, the mystery of God shall be fulfilled], as he preached by his servants prophets.

And I heard a voice from heaven again speaking with me, and saying, Go thou, and take the book, that is opened, from the hand of the angel, that standeth above the sea, and on the land [standing above the sea, and above the land].

And I went to the angel, and said to him, that he should give me the book. And he said to me, Take the book, and devour it; and it shall make thy womb to be bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.

10 And I took the book of the angel's hand, and devoured it, and it was in my mouth as sweet [as] honey; and when I had devoured it, my womb was bitter.

11 And he said to me, It behooveth thee again to prophesy to heathen men, and to peoples, and languages [and tongues], and to many kings.

Un petit livre donné à Jean

10 Je vis un autre ange puissant, qui descendait du ciel, enveloppé d’une nuée; au-dessus de sa tête était l’arc-en-ciel, et son visage était comme le soleil, et ses pieds comme des colonnes de feu. Il tenait dans sa main un petit livre ouvert. Il posa son pied droit sur la mer, et son pied gauche sur la terre; et il cria d’une voix forte, comme rugit un lion. Quand il cria, les sept tonnerres firent entendre leurs voix. Quand les sept tonnerres eurent fait entendre leurs voix, j’allais écrire, mais j’entendis du ciel une voix qui disait: Scelle ce qu’ont dit les sept tonnerres, et ne l’écris pas. Et l’ange, que je voyais debout sur la mer et sur la terre, leva sa main droite vers le ciel, 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, et la mer et ce qui s’y trouve, qu’il n’y aurait plus de délai[a], mais qu’aux jours de la voix du septième ange, quand il sonnerait de la trompette, le mystère de Dieu s’accomplirait, comme il l’a annoncé à ses serviteurs, les prophètes.

Et la voix, que j’avais entendue du ciel, me parla de nouveau, et dit: Va, prends le petit livre ouvert dans la main de l’ange qui se tient debout sur la mer et sur la terre. Et j’allai vers l’ange, en lui disant de me donner le petit livre. Et il me dit: Prends-le, et avale-le; il sera amer à tes entrailles, 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; il fut dans ma bouche doux comme du miel, mais quand je l’eus avalé, mes entrailles furent remplies d’amertume. 11 Puis on me dit: Il faut que tu prophétises de nouveau sur beaucoup de peuples, de nations, de langues, et de rois.
