< 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 au ciel un autre signe, grand et admirable, [savoir] sept Anges qui avaient les sept dernières plaies; car c'est par elles que la colère de Dieu est consommée.
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.
Je vis aussi comme une mer de verre mêlée de feu, et ceux qui avaient obtenu la victoire sur la bête, sur son image, sur sa marque, et sur le nombre de son nom, se tenant sur la mer qui était comme de verre, et ayant les 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!
Qui chantaient le Cantique de Moïse serviteur de Dieu, et le Cantique de l'Agneau, en disant: que tes œuvres sont grandes et merveilleuses, ô Seigneur Dieu tout-puissant! tes voies [sont] justes et véritables, ô Roi des Saints!
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].
Seigneur, qui ne te craindra, et qui ne glorifiera ton Nom? car tu es Saint toi seul, c'est pourquoi toutes les nations viendront et se prosterneront devant toi; car tes jugements sont pleinement 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}.
Et après ces choses je regardai, et voici le Temple du Tabernacle du témoignage fut ouvert au 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 avaient les sept plaies sortirent du Temple, vêtus d'un lin pur et blanc, et ceints sur leurs poitrines avec des ceintures d'or.
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 )
Et l'un des quatre animaux donna aux sept Anges sept fioles d'or, pleines de la colère du Dieu vivant aux siècles des siècles. (aiōn )
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 la fumée qui [procédait] de la majesté de Dieu et de sa puissance; et personne ne pouvait entrer dans le Temple jusqu'à ce que les sept plaies des sept Anges fussent accomplies.
