Apocalypse 15
1 Et je vis un autre prodige dans le ciel, un grand, un étonnant prodige, sept anges ayant en main les sept derniers fléaux, car c'est par ces fléaux que doit se consommer le courroux de Dieu.
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].
2 Et je vis comme une mer de verre mêlée de feu, et au bord de cette mer de verre étaient debout les vainqueurs de la bête, de son image et du nombre de son nom, ayant en main les harpes sacrées.
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.
3 Ils chantaient le cantique de Moïse, serviteur de Dieu, et le cantique de l'agneau, disant: «Tes oeuvres sont grandes et admirables, Seigneur Dieu, Tout-Puissant! Tes voies sont justes et véritables, ô Roi des nations!
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!
4 Qui ne craindrait, Seigneur, et ne glorifierait ton nom, car toi seul es Saint. Et toutes les nations viendront se prosterner devant toi, parce que tes jugements ont éclaté.»
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].
5 Après cela, je vis s'ouvrir le sanctuaire qui est dans le ciel et qui renferme le tabernacle du témoignage.
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}.
6 Les sept anges qui ont en main les sept fléaux sortirent du sanctuaire; ils étaient vêtus d'un lin pur et éclatant, et portaient des ceintures d'or autour de la poitrine.
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.
7 Alors l'un des quatre animaux donna aux sept anges sept coupes d'or pleines du courroux du Dieu qui vit aux siècles des siècles; (aiōn g165)
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)
8 et le sanctuaire fut rempli du parfum de la gloire de Dieu et de sa puissance; et nul ne pouvait entrer dans le sanctuaire, jusqu’à ce que les sept fléaux des sept anges eussent été consommés.
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.
