Isaiah 52

Esaïe 52
|
Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision. | Réveille-toi! réveille-toi! revêts ta parure, Sion! Revêts tes habits de fête, Jérusalem, ville sainte! Car il n`entrera plus chez toi ni incirconcis ni impur. |
Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion. | Secoue ta poussière, lève-toi, Mets-toi sur ton séant, Jérusalem! Détache les liens de ton cou, Captive, fille de Sion! |
For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price. | Car ainsi parle l`Éternel: C`est gratuitement que vous avez été vendus, Et ce n`est pas à prix d`argent que vous serez rachetés. |
For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause. | Car ainsi parle le Seigneur, l`Éternel: Jadis mon peuple descendit en Égypte, pour y séjourner; Puis l`Assyrien l`opprima sans cause. |
Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name. | Et maintenant, qu`ai-je à faire, dit l`Éternel, Quand mon peuple a été gratuitement enlevé? Ses tyrans poussent des cris, dit l`Éternel, Et toute la durée du jour mon nom est outragé. |
For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I. | C`est pourquoi mon peuple connaîtra mon nom; C`est pourquoi il saura, en ce jour, Que c`est moi qui parle: me voici! |
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling! | Qu`ils sont beaux sur les montagnes, Les pieds de celui qui apporte de bonnes nouvelles, Qui publie la paix! De celui qui apporte de bonnes nouvelles, Qui publie le salut! De celui qui dit à Sion: ton Dieu règne! |
The voice of your watchmen! their voices are loud in song together; for they will see him, eye to eye, when the Lord comes back to Zion. | La voix de tes sentinelles retentit; Elles élèvent la voix, Elles poussent ensemble des cris d`allégresse; Car de leurs propres yeux elles voient Que l`Éternel ramène Sion. |
Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem. | Éclatez ensemble en cris de joie, Ruines de Jérusalem! Car l`Éternel console son peuple, Il rachète Jérusalem. |
The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God. | L`Éternel découvre le bras de sa sainteté, Aux yeux de toutes les nations; Et toutes les extrémités de la terre verront Le salut de notre Dieu. |
Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord. | Partez, partez, sortez de là! Ne touchez rien d`impur! Sortez du milieu d`elle! Purifiez-vous, vous qui portez les vases de l`Éternel! |
For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you. | Ne sortez pas avec précipitation, Ne partez pas en fuyant; Car l`Éternel ira devant vous, Et le Dieu d`Israël fermera votre marche. |
See, my servant will do well in his undertakings, he will be honoured, and lifted up, and be very high. | Voici, mon serviteur prospérera; Il montera, il s`élèvera, il s`élèvera bien haut. |
As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men. | De même qu`il a été pour plusieurs un sujet d`effroi, -Tant son visage était défiguré, Tant son aspect différait de celui des fils de l`homme, - |
So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears. | De même il sera pour beaucoup de peuples un sujet de joie; Devant lui des rois fermeront la bouche; Car ils verront ce qui ne leur avait point été raconté, Ils apprendront ce qu`ils n`avaient point entendu. |
