Daniel 8
|
| La troisième année du règne du roi Beltschatsar, moi, Daniel, j`eus une vision, outre celle que j`avais eue précédemment. | In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me, Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. |
| Lorsque j`eus cette vision, il me sembla que j`étais à Suse, la capitale, dans la province d`Élam; et pendant ma vision, je me trouvais près du fleuve d`Ulaï. | And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai. |
| Je levai les yeux, je regardai, et voici, un bélier se tenait devant le fleuve, et il avait des cornes; ces cornes étaient hautes, mais l`une était plus haute que l`autre, et elle s`éleva la dernière. | Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. |
| Je vis le bélier qui frappait de ses cornes à l`occident, au septentrion et au midi; aucun animal ne pouvait lui résister, et il n`y avait personne pour délivrer ses victimes; il faisait ce qu`il voulait, et il devint puissant. | I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself. |
| Comme je regardais attentivement, voici, un bouc venait de l`occident, et parcourait toute la terre à sa surface, sans la toucher; ce bouc avait une grande corne entre les yeux. | And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. |
| Il arriva jusqu`au bélier qui avait des cornes, et que j`avais vu se tenant devant le fleuve, et il courut sur lui dans toute sa fureur. | And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power. |
| Je le vis qui s`approchait du bélier et s`irritait contre lui; il frappa le bélier et lui brisa les deux cornes, sans que le bélier eût la force de lui résister; il le jeta par terre et le foula, et il n`y eut personne pour délivrer le bélier. | And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. |
| Le bouc devint très puissant; mais lorsqu`il fut puissant, sa grande corne se brisa. Quatre grandes cornes s`élevèrent pour la remplacer, aux quatre vents des cieux. | And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable [horns] toward the four winds of heaven. |
| De l`une d`elles sortit une petite corne, qui s`agrandit beaucoup vers le midi, vers l`orient, et vers le plus beau des pays. | And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious [land]. |
| Elle s`éleva jusqu`à l`armée des cieux, elle fit tomber à terre une partie de cette armée et des étoiles, et elle les foula. | And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them. |
| Elle s`éleva jusqu`au chef de l`armée, lui enleva le sacrifice perpétuel, et renversa le lieu de son sanctuaire. | Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual [burnt-offering], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. |
| L`armée fut livrée avec le sacrifice perpétuel, à cause du péché; la corne jeta la vérité par terre, et réussit dans ses entreprises. | And the host was given over [to it] together with the continual [burnt-offering] through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did [its pleasure] and prospered. |
| J`entendis parler un saint; et un autre saint dit à celui qui parlait: Pendant combien de temps s`accomplira la vision sur le sacrifice perpétuel et sur le péché dévastateur? Jusques à quand le sanctuaire et l`armée seront-ils foulés? | Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision [concerning] the continual [burnt-offering], and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? |
| Et il me dit: Deux mille trois cents soirs et matins; puis le sanctuaire sera purifié. | And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. |
| Tandis que moi, Daniel, j`avais cette vision et que je cherchais à la comprendre, voici, quelqu`un qui avait l`apparence d`un homme se tenait devant moi. | And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. |
| Et j`entendis la voix d`un homme au milieu de l`Ulaï; il cria et dit: Gabriel, explique-lui la vision. | And I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. |
| Il vint alors près du lieu où j`étais; et à son approche, je fus effrayé, et je tombai sur ma face. Il me dit: Sois attentif, fils de l`homme, car la vision concerne un temps qui sera la fin. | So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was affrighted, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end. |
| Comme il me parlait, je restai frappé d`étourdissement, la face contre terre. Il me toucha, et me fit tenir debout à la place où je me trouvais. | Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright. |
| Puis il me dit: Je vais t`apprendre, ce qui arrivera au terme de la colère, car il y a un temps marqué pour la fin. | And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end. |
| Le bélier que tu as vu, et qui avait des cornes, ce sont les rois des Mèdes et des Perses. | The ram which thou sawest, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. |
| Le bouc, c`est le roi de Javan, La grande corne entre ses yeux, c`est le premier roi. | And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. |
| Les quatre cornes qui se sont élevées pour remplacer cette corne brisée, ce sont quatre royaumes qui s`élèveront de cette nation, mais qui n`auront pas autant de force. | And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power. |
| A la fin de leur domination, lorsque les pécheurs seront consumés, il s`élèvera un roi impudent et artificieux. | And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. |
| Sa puissance s`accroîtra, mais non par sa propre force; il fera d`incroyables ravages, il réussira dans ses entreprises, il détruira les puissants et le peuple des saints. | And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do [his pleasure]; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people. |
| A cause de sa prospérité et du succès de ses ruses, il aura de l`arrogance dans le coeur, il fera périr beaucoup d`hommes qui vivaient paisiblement, et il s`élèvera contre le chef des chefs; mais il sera brisé, sans l`effort d`aucune main. | And through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in [their] security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. |
| Et la vision des soirs et des matins, dont il s`agit, est véritable. Pour toi, tiens secrète cette vision, car elle se rapporte à des temps éloignés. | And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days [to come]. |
| Moi, Daniel, je fus plusieurs jours languissant et malade; puis je me levai, et je m`occupai des affaires du roi. J`étais étonné de la vision, et personne n`en eut connaissance. | And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it. |
