Demandez à l`Éternel la pluie, la pluie du printemps! L`Éternel produira des éclairs, Et il vous enverra une abondante pluie, Il donnera à chacun de l`herbe dans son champ. | Make your request to the Lord for rain in the time of the spring rains, even to the Lord who makes the thunder-flames; and he will give them showers of rain, to every man grass in the field. |
Car les théraphim ont des paroles de néant, Les devins prophétisent des faussetés, Les songes mentent et consolent par la vanité. C`est pourquoi ils sont errants comme un troupeau, Ils sont malheureux parce qu`il n`y a point de pasteur. | For the images have said what is not true, and the readers of signs have seen deceit; they have given accounts of false dreams, they give comfort to no purpose: so they go out of the way like sheep, they are troubled because they have no keeper. |
Ma colère s`est enflammée contre les pasteurs, Et je châtierai les boucs; Car l`Éternel des armées visite son troupeau, la maison de Juda, Et il en fera comme son cheval de gloire dans la bataille; | My wrath is burning against the keepers of the flock, and I will send punishment on the he-goats: for the Lord of armies takes care of his flock, the people of Judah, and will make them like the horse of his pride in the fight. |
De lui sortira l`angle, de lui le clou, de lui l`arc de guerre; De lui sortiront tous les chefs ensemble. | From him will come the keystone, from him the nail, from him the bow of war, from him will come every ruler; |
Ils seront comme des héros foulant dans la bataille la boue des rues; Ils combattront, parce que l`Éternel sera avec eux; Et ceux qui seront montés sur des chevaux seront couverts de honte. | Together they will be like men of war, crushing down their haters into the earth of the streets in the fight; they will make war because the Lord is with them: and the horsemen will be shamed. |
Je fortifierai la maison de Juda, Et je délivrerai la maison de Joseph; Je les ramènerai, car j`ai compassion d`eux, Et ils seront comme si je ne les avais pas rejetés; Car je suis l`Éternel, leur Dieu, et je les exaucerai. | And I will make the children of Judah strong, and I will be the saviour of the children of Joseph, and I will make them come back again, for I have had mercy on them: they will be as if I had not given them up: for I am the Lord their God and I will give them an answer. |
Éphraïm sera comme un héros; Leur coeur aura la joie que donne le vin; Leurs fils le verront et seront dans l`allégresse, Leur coeur se réjouira en l`Éternel. | And Ephraim will be like a man of war, and their hearts will be glad as with wine; and their children will see it with joy; their hearts will be glad in the Lord. |
Je les sifflerai et les rassemblerai, car je les rachète, Et ils multiplieront comme ils multipliaient. | With the sound of the pipe I will get them together; for I have given the price to make them free: and they will be increased as they were increased. |
Je les disperserai parmi les peuples, Et au loin ils se souviendront de moi; Ils vivront avec leurs enfants, et ils reviendront. | Though I had them planted among the peoples, they will keep me in mind in far countries: and they will take care of their children and will come back. |
Je les ramènerai du pays d`Égypte, Et je les rassemblerai de l`Assyrie; Je les ferai venir au pays de Galaad et au Liban, Et l`espace ne leur suffira pas. | And I will make them come back out of the land of Egypt, and will get them together out of Assyria; and I will take them into the land of Gilead, and it will not be wide enough for them. |
Il passera la mer de détresse, il frappera les flots de la mer, Et toutes les profondeurs du fleuve seront desséchées; L`orgueil de l`Assyrie sera abattu, Et le sceptre de l`Égypte disparaîtra. | And they will go through the sea of Egypt, and all the deep waters of the Nile will become dry: and the pride of Assyria will be made low, and the power of Egypt will be taken away. |
Je les fortifierai par l`Éternel, Et ils marcheront en son nom, Dit l`Éternel. | And their strength will be in the Lord; and their pride will be in his name, says the Lord. |
