Apocalypse 15
1 Je vis dans le ciel un autre prodige grand et merveilleux: sept anges ayant les sept dernières plaies, puisque c’est par elles que la colère de Dieu a été consommée.
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 ceux qui avaient vaincu la bête, son image et le nombre de son nom, qui étaient debout sur cette mer de verre, ayant des harpes de Dieu,
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 Et qui chantaient le cantique de Moïse, serviteur de Dieu, et le cantique de l’Agneau, disant: Grandes et admirables sont vos œuvres, Seigneur Dieu tout-puissant! Justes et véritables sont vos voies, ô Roi des siècles!
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 vous craindra, ô Seigneur? et qui ne glorifiera votre nom? car vous seul êtes miséricordieux, et toutes les nations viendront et adoreront en votre présence, parce que vos jugements se sont manifestés.
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 regardai, et voilà que le temple du tabernacle du témoignage s’ouvrit dans le ciel;
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 Et que du temple sortirent les sept anges, ayant les sept plaies, vêtus d’un lin pur et blanc, et ceints sur la poitrine de ceintures d’or.
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 un des quatre animaux donna aux sept anges sept coupes d’or pleines de la colère du Dieu qui vit dans les 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 temple fut rempli de fumée à cause de la majesté de Dieu et de sa puissance; et nul ne pouvait entrer dans le temple jusqu’à ce que fussent consommées les sept plaies des sept anges.
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.
