| 1 | Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! | Hola! vous qui êtes à votre aise en Sion, et vous qui vous confiez en la montagne de Samarie, lieux les plus renommés d'entre les principaux des nations, auxquels va la maison d'Israël. | Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and to them that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come! |
| 2 | Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? | Passez jusqu'à Calne, et regardez; et vous en allez de là à Hamath la grande; puis descendez à Gath des Philistins; n'étaient-ils pas plus excellents que ces Royaumes-ci? Leur pays n'était-il pas plus étendu que votre pays? | Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border? |
| 3 | Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; | Vous qui éloignez les jours de la calamité, et qui approchez de vous le siège de violence; | -ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; |
| 4 | That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; | Qui vous couchez sur des lits d'ivoire, et vous étendez sur vos couches; qui mangez les agneaux choisis du troupeau, et les veaux pris du lieu où on les engraisse; | that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; |
| 5 | That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David; | Qui fredonnez au son de la musette; qui inventez des instruments de musique, comme David; | that sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that invent for themselves instruments of music, like David; |
| 6 | That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. | Qui buvez le vin dans des bassins, et vous parfumez des parfums les plus exquis, et qui n'êtes point malades pour la plaie de Joseph. | that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. |
| 7 | Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. | A cause de cela ils s'en iront incessamment en captivité, entre les premiers qui s'en iront en captivité, et le luxe de ces personnes voluptueuses prendra fin. | Therefore shall they now go captive with the first that go captive; and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away. |
| 8 | The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. | Le Seigneur l'Eternel a juré par soi-même, l'Eternel Dieu des armées dit ainsi: J'ai en détestation l'orgueil de Jacob, et j'ai en haine ses palais, c'est pourquoi je livrerai la ville, et tout ce qui est en elle. | The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces; therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. |
| 9 | And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die. | Et s'il arrive qu'il y ait dix hommes de reste dans une maison, ils mourront. | And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die. |
| 10 | And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD. | Et l'oncle de chacun d'eux les prendra, et les brûlera pour en mettre les os hors de la maison; et il dira à celui qui sera au fond de la maison: y a-t-il encore quelqu'un avec toi? Et il répondra: C'en est la fin. Puis son oncle lui dira: Tais-toi; car aussi ils n'eussent point fait commémoration du nom de l'Eternel. | And when a man`s uncle shall take him up, even he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No; then shall he say, Hold thy peace; for we may not make mention of the name of Jehovah. |
| 11 | For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts. | Car voici l'Eternel commande, et il frappera les grandes maisons par des débordements d'eau, et les petites maisons par des fentes. | For, behold, Jehovah commandeth, and the great house shall be smitten with breaches, and the little house with clefts. |
| 12 | Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock: | Les chevaux courront-ils par les rochers? ou y labourera-t-on avec des boeufs? mais vous avez changé le jugement en fiel, et le fruit de la justice en absinthe. | Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow [there] with oxen? that ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood; |
| 13 | Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? | Vous vous réjouissez en des choses de néant, et vous dites: Ne nous sommes-nous pas acquis de l'élévation par notre force? | ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? |
| 14 | But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness. | Mais, ô maison d'Israël! voici, j'élèverai contre vous une nation, dit l'Eternel le Dieu des armées, laquelle vous opprimera depuis l'entrée de Hamath jusqu'au torrent du désert. | For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of the Arabah. |
