Evangile des Rois

français vers anglais Art / Littérature Poésie et littérature Black Mass
En lisant le roman 'Le Montespan', j'ai trouve le terme 'l'Evangile des Rois' que l'abbe Mariette, avec l'abbe Guibourg dans la messe noire, marmonnait en faisant des aspersions d'eau benite.
Moi, je le crois qch. comme une priere satanique, mais je n'en suis pas sure...

Est-ce qu'il y a qn. qui sait cet 'Evangile' et comment le traduire passablement en anglais?

Merci d'avance.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Gospel of Kings

You should be able to use either "Gospel of Kings" or the "Book of Kings": part of the Hebrew Bible.

"The Book(s) of Kings (Hebrew: Sepher M'lakhim, ספר מלכים‎ - the two books were originally one[1]) presents a narrative history of ancient Israel and Judah from the death of David to the release of his successor Jehoiachin from imprisonment in Babylon, a period of some 400 years (c.960-560 BCE).[2] It concludes a series of historical books running from Joshua through Judges and Samuel, the overall purpose which is to provide a theological explanation for the destruction of the Jewish kingdom by Babylon in 586 BCE and a foundation for a return from exile.[3]"

2 Kings 9:22-29 (King James Version) 22And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
agree cc in nyc : agree with "Gospel of Kings" – less than 50 ghits, but the same is true for Evangile des Rois

agree Ksenia Paromova (X) : it's capitalized, so it's got to be a Gospel in the Bible.
