Esaïe 27

Isaiah 27
|
En ce jour, l`Éternel frappera de sa dure, grande et forte épée Le léviathan, serpent fuyard, Le léviathan, serpent tortueux; Et il tuera le monstre qui est dans la mer. | In that day the Lord, with his great and strong and cruel sword, will send punishment on Leviathan, the quick-moving snake, and on Leviathan, the twisted snake; and he will put to death the dragon which is in the sea. |
En ce jour-là, Chantez un cantique sur la vigne. | In that day it will be said, A vine-garden of delight, make a song about it. |
Moi l`Éternel, j`en suis le gardien, Je l`arrose à chaque instant; De peur qu`on ne l`attaque, Nuit et jour je la garde. | I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it. |
Il n`y a point en moi de colère; Mais si je trouve à combattre des ronces et des épines, Je marcherai contre elles, je les consumerai toutes ensemble, | My passion is over: if the thorns were fighting against me, I would make an attack on them, and they would be burned up together. |
A moins qu`on ne me prenne pour refuge, Qu`on ne fasse la paix avec moi, qu`on ne fasse la paix avec moi. | Or let him put himself under my power, and make peace with me. |
Dans les temps à venir, Jacob prendra racine, Israël poussera des fleurs et des rejetons, Et il remplira le monde de ses fruits. | In days to come Jacob will take root: Israel will put out buds and flowers; and the face of the world will be full of fruit. |
L`Éternel l`a-t-il frappé comme il a frappé ceux qui le frappaient? L`a-t-il tué comme il a tué ceux qui le tuaient? | Is his punishment like the punishment of those who overcame him? or are his dead as great in number as those he put to the sword? |
C`est avec mesure que tu l`as châtié par l`exil, En l`emportant par le souffle impétueux du vent d`orient. | Your anger against her has been made clear by driving her away; he has taken her away with his storm-wind in the day of his east wind. |
Ainsi le crime de Jacob a été expié, Et voici le fruit du pardon de son péché: L`Éternel a rendu toutes les pierres des autels Pareilles à des pierres de chaux réduites en poussière; Les idoles d`Astarté et les statues du soleil ne se relèveront plus. | So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again. |
Car la ville forte est solitaire, C`est une demeure délaissée et abandonnée comme le désert; Là pâture le veau, il s`y couche, et broute les branches. | For the strong town is without men, an unpeopled living-place; and she has become a waste land: there the young ox will take his rest, and its branches will be food for him. |
Quand les rameaux sèchent, on les brise; Des femmes viennent, pour les brûler. C`était un peuple sans intelligence: Aussi celui qui l`a fait n`a point eu pitié de lui, Celui qui l`a formé ne lui a point fait grâce. | When its branches are dry they will be broken off; the women will come and put fire to them: for it is a foolish people; for this cause he who made them will have no mercy on them, and he whose work they are will not have pity on them. |
En ce temps-là, L`Éternel secouera des fruits, Depuis le cours du fleuve jusqu`au torrent d`Égypte; Et vous serez ramassés un à un, enfants d`Israël! | And it will be in that day that the Lord will get together his grain, from the River to the stream of Egypt, and you will be got together with care, O children of Israel. |
En ce jour, on sonnera de la grande trompette, Et alors reviendront ceux qui étaient exilés au pays d`Assyrie Ou fugitifs au pays d`Égypte; Et ils se prosterneront devant l`Éternel, Sur la montagne sainte, à Jérusalem. | And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem. |
