Right then.
After taking into account everything you noted, my second answer is:
"And he went beyond, and there was yellow light, and fire within, and the evening meal ready, and a youth waited."
It certainly makes more sense now, though I still find that I cannot place the quote. Perhaps it is from Frodo and Sam's stay at Henneth Annūn? Or maybe it is from Pippin's experience in Minas Tirith, the youth being Bergil. At any rate, I feel that the translation is closer.
