Daniel 11
|
| And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede I was on his side to make his position safe and make him strong. | Et moi, la première année de Darius, le Mède, j`étais auprès de lui pour l`aider et le soutenir. |
| And now I will make clear to you what is true. There are still three kings to come in Persia, and the fourth will have much greater wealth than all of them: and when he has become strong through his wealth, he will put his forces in motion against all the kingdoms of Greece. | Maintenant, je vais te faire connaître la vérité. Voici, il y aura encore trois rois en Perse. Le quatrième amassera plus de richesses que tous les autres; et quand il sera puissant par ses richesses, il soulèvera tout contre le royaume de Javan. |
| And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure. | Mais il s`élèvera un vaillant roi, qui dominera avec une grande puissance, et fera ce qu`il voudra. |
| And when he has become strong, his kingdom will be broken and parted to the four winds of heaven; but not to his offspring, for it will be uprooted; and his kingdom will be for the others and not for these: but not with the same authority as his. | Et lorsqu`il se sera élevé, son royaume se brisera et sera divisé vers les quatre vents des cieux; il n`appartiendra pas à ses descendants, et il ne sera pas aussi puissant qu`il était, car il sera déchiré, et il passera à d`autres qu`à eux. |
| And the king of the south will be strong, but one of his captains will be stronger than he and will be ruler; and his rule will be a great rule. | Le roi du midi deviendra fort. Mais un de ses chefs sera plus fort que lui, et dominera; sa domination sera puissante. |
| And at the end of years they will be joined together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she will not keep the strength of her arm; and his offspring will not keep their place; but she will be uprooted, with those who were the cause of her coming, and her son, and he who took her in those times. | Au bout de quelques années ils s`allieront, et la fille du roi du midi viendra vers le roi du septentrion pour rétablir la concorde. Mais elle ne conservera pas la force de son bras, et il ne résistera pas, ni lui, ni son bras; elle sera livrée avec ceux qui l`auront amenée, avec son père et avec celui qui aura été son soutien dans ce temps-là. |
| But out of a branch from her roots one will come up to take his place, who will come against the army, forcing his way into the strong place of the king of the north, and he will take them in hand and overcome them: | Un rejeton de ses racines s`élèvera à sa place; il viendra à l`armée, il entrera dans les forteresses du roi du septentrion, il en disposera à son gré, et il se rendra puissant. |
| And their gods and their metal images and their fair vessels of silver and gold he will take away into the south; and for some years he will keep away from the king of the north. | Il enlèvera même et transportera en Égypte leurs dieux et leurs images de fonte, et leurs objets précieux d`argent et d`or. Puis il restera quelques années éloigné du roi du septentrion. |
| And he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will go back to his land. | Et celui-ci marchera contre le royaume du roi du midi, et reviendra dans son pays. |
| And his son will make war, and will get together an army of great forces, and he will make an attack on him, overflowing and going past: and he will again take the war even to his strong place. | Ses fils se mettront en campagne et rassembleront une multitude nombreuse de troupes; l`un d`eux s`avancera, se répandra comme un torrent, débordera, puis reviendra; et ils pousseront les hostilités jusqu`à la forteresse du roi du midi. |
| And the king of the south will be moved with wrath, and will come out and make war on him, on this same king of the north: and he will get together a great army, but the army will be given into his hand. | Le roi du midi s`irritera, il sortira et attaquera le roi du septentrion; il soulèvera une grande multitude, et les troupes du roi du septentrion seront livrées entre ses mains. |
| And the army will be taken away, and his heart will be uplifted: he will be the cause of the downfall of tens of thousands, but he will not be strong. | Cette multitude sera fière, et le coeur du roi s`enflera; il fera tomber des milliers, mais ils ne triomphera pas. |
| And again the king of the north will get together an army greater than the first; and he will make an attack on him at the end of years, with a great army and much wealth. | Car le roi du septentrion reviendra et rassemblera une multitude plus nombreuse que la première; au bout de quelque temps, de quelques années, il se mettra en marche avec une grande armée et de grandes richesses. |
| In those times, a number will take up arms against the king of the south: and the children of the violent among your people will be lifting themselves up to make the vision come true; but it will be their downfall. | En ce temps-là, plusieurs s`élèveront contre le roi du midi, et des hommes violents parmi ton peuple se révolteront pour accomplir la vision, et ils succomberont. |
| So the king of the north will come, and put up earthworks and take a well-armed town: and the forces of the king of the south will make an attempt to keep their position, even the best of his army, but they will not have strength to do so. | Le roi du septentrion s`avancera, il élèvera des terrasses, et s`emparera des villes fortes. Les troupes du midi et l`élite du roi ne résisteront pas, elles manqueront de force pour résister. |
| And he who comes against him will do his pleasure, and no one will be able to keep his place before him: he will take up his position in the beautiful land and in his hand there will be destruction. | Celui qui marchera contre lui fera ce qu`il voudra, et personne ne lui résistera; il s`arrêtera dans le plus beau des pays, exterminant ce qui tombera sous sa main. |
| And it will be his purpose to come with the strength of all his kingdom, but in place of this he will make an agreement with him; and he will give him the daughter of women to send destruction on it; but this will not take place or come about. | Il se proposera d`arriver avec toutes les forces de son royaume, et de conclure la paix avec le roi du midi; il lui donnera sa fille pour femme, dans l`intention d`amener sa ruine; mais cela n`aura pas lieu, et ne lui réussira pas. |
| After this, his face will be turned to the islands, and he will take a number of them: but a chief, by his destruction, will put an end to the shame offered by him; and more than this, he will make his shame come back on him. | Il tournera ses vues du côté des îles, et il en prendra plusieurs; mais un chef mettra fin à l`opprobre qu`il voulait lui attirer, et le fera retomber sur lui. |
| Then his face will be turned to the strong places of his land: but his way will be stopped, causing his downfall, and he will not be seen again. | Il se dirigera ensuite vers les forteresses de son pays; et il chancellera, il tombera, et on ne le trouvera plus. |
| Then his place will be taken by one who will send out a man with the glory of a king to get wealth together; but after a short time destruction will overtake him, but not in wrath or in the fight. | Celui qui le remplacera fera venir un exacteur dans la plus belle partie du royaume, mais en quelques jours il sera brisé, et ce ne sera ni par la colère ni par la guerre. |
| And his place will be taken by a low person, to whom the honour of the kingdom had not been given: but he will come in time of peace and will get the kingdom by fair words. | Un homme méprisé prendra sa place, sans être revêtu de la dignité royale; il paraîtra au milieu de la paix, et s`emparera du royaume par l`intrigue. |
| And his forces will be completely taken away from before him and broken; and even the ruler of the agreement will have the same fate. | Les troupes qui se répandront comme un torrent seront submergées devant lui, et anéanties, de même qu`un chef de l`alliance. |
| And from the time when they make an agreement with him, he will be working falsely: for he will take up arms suddenly with a small force, | Après qu`on se sera joint à lui, il usera de tromperie; il se mettra en marche, et il aura le dessus avec peu de monde. |
| Against fertile places, and will make waste a part of the country; and he will do what his fathers have not done, or his fathers' fathers; he will make distribution among them of goods taken in war and by force, and of property: he will even make designs against the strong places for a time. | Il entrera, au sein de la paix, dans les lieux les plus fertiles de la province; il fera ce que n`avaient pas fait ses pères, ni les pères de ses pères; il distribuera le butin, les dépouilles et les richesses; il formera des projets contre les forteresses, et cela pendant un certain temps. |
| And he will put in motion his power and his strength against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will go to war with a very great and strong army: but he will be forced to give way, because of their designs against him; | A la tête d`une grande armée il emploiera sa force et son ardeur contre le roi du midi. Et le roi du midi s`engagera dans la guerre avec une armée nombreuse et très puissante; mais il ne résistera pas, car on méditera contre lui de mauvais desseins. |
| And his fears will overcome him and be the cause of his downfall, and his army will come to complete destruction, and a great number will be put to the sword. | Ceux qui mangeront des mets de sa table causeront sa perte; ses troupes se répandront comme un torrent, et les morts tomberont en grand nombre. |
| And as for these two kings, their hearts will be fixed on doing evil and they will say false words at one table; but it will come to nothing: for the end will be at the time fixed. | Les deux rois chercheront en leur coeur à faire le mal, et à la même table ils parleront avec fausseté. Mais cela ne réussira pas, car la fin n`arrivera qu`au temps marqué. |
| And he will go back to his land with great wealth; and his heart will be against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure and go back to his land. | Il retournera dans son pays avec de grandes richesses; il sera dans son coeur hostile à l`alliance sainte, il agira contre elle, puis retournera dans son pays. |
| At the time fixed he will come back and come into the south; but in the later time it will not be as it was before. | A une époque fixée, il marchera de nouveau contre le midi; mais cette dernière fois les choses ne se passeront pas comme précédemment. |
| For those who go out from the west will come against him, and he will be in fear and will go back, full of wrath against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure: and he will go back and be united with those who have given up the holy agreement. | Des navires de Kittim s`avanceront contre lui; découragé, il rebroussera. Puis, furieux contre l`alliance sainte, il ne restera pas inactif; à son retour, il portera ses regards sur ceux qui auront abandonné l`alliance sainte. |
| And armies sent by him will take up their position and they will make unclean the holy place, even the strong place, and take away the regular burned offering and put in its place an unclean thing causing fear. | Des troupes se présenteront sur son ordre; elles profaneront le sanctuaire, la forteresse, elles feront cesser le sacrifice perpétuel, et dresseront l`abomination du dévastateur. |
| And those who do evil against the agreement will be turned to sin by his fair words: but the people who have knowledge of their God will be strong and do well. | Il séduira par des flatteries les traîtres de l`alliance. Mais ceux du peuple qui connaîtront leur Dieu agiront avec fermeté, |
| And those who are wise among the people will be the teachers of the mass of the people: but they will come to their downfall by the sword and by the flame, being made prisoners and undergoing loss for a long time. | et les plus sages parmi eux donneront instruction à la multitude. Il en est qui succomberont pour un temps à l`épée et à la flamme, à la captivité et au pillage. |
| Now at the time of their downfall they will have a little help, but numbers will be joined to them in the town, and in their separate heritages. | Dans le temps où ils succomberont, ils seront un peu secourus, et plusieurs se joindront à eux par hypocrisie. |
| And some of those who are wise will have wisdom in testing themselves and making themselves clean, till the time of the end: for it is still for the fixed time. | Quelques-uns des hommes sages succomberont, afin qu`ils soient épurés, purifiés et blanchis, jusqu`au temps de la fin, car elle n`arrivera qu`au temps marqué. |
| And the king will do his pleasure; he will put himself on high, lifting himself over every god, and saying things to be wondered at against the God of gods; and all will be well for him till the wrath is complete; for what has been purposed will be done. | Le roi fera ce qu`il voudra; il s`élèvera, il se glorifiera au-dessus de tous les dieux, et il dira des choses incroyables contre le Dieu des dieux; il prospérera jusqu`à ce que la colère soit consommée, car ce qui est arrêté s`accomplira. |
| He will have no respect for the gods of his fathers or for the god desired by women; he will have no respect for any god: for he will put himself on high over all. | Il n`aura égard ni aux dieux de ses pères, ni à la divinité qui fait les délices des femmes; il n`aura égard à aucun dieu, car il se glorifiera au-dessus de tous. |
| But in place of this he will give honour to the god of armed places, and to a god of whom his fathers had no knowledge he will give honour with gold and silver and jewels and things to be desired. | Toutefois il honorera le dieu des forteresses sur son piédestal; à ce dieu, qui ne connaissaient pas ses pères, il rendra des hommages avec de l`or et de l`argent, avec des pierres précieuses et des objets de prix. |
| And he will make use of the people of a strange god to keep his strongest places; to those whom he takes note of he will give high honour: and he will make them rulers over the mass of the people, and will make division of the land for a price. | C`est avec le dieu étranger qu`il agira contre les lieux fortifiés; et il comblera d`honneurs ceux qui le reconnaîtront, il les fera dominer sur plusieurs, il leur distribuera des terres pour récompense. |
| And at the time of the end, the king of the south will make an attack on him: and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with war-carriages and horsemen and numbers of ships; and he will go through many lands like overflowing waters. | Au temps de la fin, le roi du midi se heurtera contre lui. Et le roi du septentrion fondra sur lui comme une tempête, avec des chars et des cavaliers, et avec de nombreux navires; il s`avancera dans les terres, se répandra comme un torrent et débordera. |
| And he will come into the beautiful land, and tens of thousands will be overcome: but these will be kept from falling into his hands: Edom and Moab and the chief of the children of Ammon. | Il entrera dans le plus beau des pays, et plusieurs succomberont; mais Édom, Moab, et les principaux des enfants d`Ammon seront délivrés de sa main. |
| And his hand will be stretched out on the countries: and the land of the south will not be safe from him. | Il étendra sa main sur divers pays, et le pays d`Égypte n`échappera point. |
| But he will have power over the stores of gold and silver, and over all the valued things of the south: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps. | Il se rendra maître des trésors d`or et d`argent, et de toutes les choses précieuses de l`Égypte; les Libyens et les Éthiopiens seront à sa suite. |
| But he will be troubled by news from the east and from the north; and he will go out in great wrath, to send destruction on, and put an end to, great numbers. | Des nouvelles de l`orient et du septentrion viendront l`effrayer, et il partira avec une grande fureur pour détruire et exterminer des multitudes. |
| He will put the tents of his great house between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain: but he will come to his end with no helper. | Il dressera les tentes de son palais entre les mers, vers la glorieuse et sainte montagne Puis il arrivera à la fin, sans que personne lui soit en aide. |
