Revelation 15
1 Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
Puis je vis dans le ciel un autre signe, grand et admirable: sept anges, qui tenaient sept fléaux, les derniers, car par eux s’accomplit la colère de Dieu.
2 I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
Et je vis comme une mer de verre, mêlée de feu, et ceux qui avaient vaincu la bête, et son image, et le nombre de son nom, debout sur la mer de verre, ayant des harpes de Dieu.
3 They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
Et ils chantent le cantique de Moïse, le serviteur de Dieu, et le cantique de l’agneau, en disant: Tes œuvres sont grandes et admirables, Seigneur Dieu tout-puissant! Tes voies sont justes et véritables, roi des nations!
4 O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
Qui ne craindrait, Seigneur, et ne glorifierait ton nom? Car seul tu es saint. Et toutes les nations viendront, et se prosterneront devant toi, parce que tes jugements ont été manifestés.
5 After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
Après cela, je regardai, et le temple du tabernacle du témoignage fut ouvert dans le ciel.
6 The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
Et les sept anges qui tenaient les sept fléaux sortirent du temple, revêtus d’un lin pur, éclatant, et ayant des ceintures d’or autour de la poitrine.
7 One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
Et l’un des quatre êtres vivants donna aux sept anges sept coupes d’or, pleines de la colère du Dieu qui vit aux siècles des siècles. (aiōn g165)
8 The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
Et le temple fut rempli de fumée, à cause de la gloire de Dieu et de sa puissance; et personne ne pouvait entrer dans le temple, jusqu’à ce que les sept fléaux des sept anges fussent accomplis.
