hi. What is the translation of struggle please ? thanks. here there was no way doesn't mean il n'y avait pas de chemin but it was impossible to find a manner to go into the tree house ?

there was a tree house that they had to go into , that was situated in the forest ; it was so difficult for them to get in the tree house because it was so high that none of them could get up to the house ; there was no way ; they were all all being controlled by the enemy ; when they were trying to get up there, there was no ladders or anything around that they could use to climb ; humans were really struggling ; they couldn't run away ; there was no way for them to run because there was a lot of evil beings ; these evil beings were demonic entities that were around looking for who was about to run away ; that was really horrific ; the reason why the evil men were around is because they're looking to kill God's children if they ran away ;

ils devaient entrer dans une cabane dans les arbres, qui était située dans la forêt ; il était si difficile pour eux d'y entrer parce qu'elle était si haute qu'aucun d'entre eux ne pouvait y monter ; c’était imposible ; ils étaient tous contrôlés par l'ennemi ; quand ils essayaient d’ monter là-haut, il n'y avait pas d'échelle ou quoi que ce soit autour qu'ils pouvaient utiliser pour monter ✧ les humains luttaient, se battaient, avaient du mal, vraiment ; ils ne pouvaient pas s'enfuir ; ils n'avaient aucun moyen pour eux d’ s'enfuir parce qu'il y avait beaucoup d'êtres maléfiques ; ces êtres maléfiques étaient des entités démoniaques qui se trouvaient dans les environs et qui cherchaient qui était sur l ’ point de s'enfuir ; c'était vraiment horrible ; la raison pour laquelle les hommes mauvais étaient là est qu'ils cherchent à tuer les enfants de Dieu s'ils s'enfuient
