| 1 | Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. | Envoyez l'agneau au Dominateur de la terre, envoyez-le du rocher du désert, à la montagne de la fille de Sion. | Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. |
| 2 | For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. | Car il arrivera que les filles de Moab seront au passage d'Arnon, comme un oiseau volant çà et là, comme une nichée chassée de son nid. | For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon. |
| 3 | Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth. | Mets en avant le conseil, fais l'ordonnance, sers d'ombre comme une nuit au milieu du midi; cache ceux qui ont été chassés, et ne décèle point ceux qui sont errants. | Give counsel, execute justice; make thy shade as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not the fugitive. |
| 4 | Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. | Que ceux de mon peuple qui ont été chassés séjournent chez toi, ô Moab! sois leur une retraite contre celui qui fait le dégât; car celui qui usait d'extorsion a cessé, le dégât a pris fin, ceux qui foulaient sont consumés de dessus la terre. | Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nought, destruction ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. |
| 5 | And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. | Et le trône sera établi par la gratuité; et sur ce trône sera assis en vérité, dans le tabernacle de David, un qui jugera, qui recherchera le droit, et qui se hâtera de faire justice. | And a throne shall be established in lovingkindness; and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David, judging, and seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness. |
| 6 | We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so. | Nous avons entendu l'orgueil de Moab le très-orgueilleux, sa fierté, et son orgueil, et son arrogance; ceux sur qui il s'appuie ne sont rien de ferme. | We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; even of his arrogancy, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nought. |
| 7 | Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken. | C'est pourquoi Moab hurlera sur Moab, chacun hurlera; vous grommellerez pour les fondements de Kir-Haréseth; il n'y aura que des gens blessés à mort. | Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, utterly stricken. |
| 8 | For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea. | Car les guérets de Hesbon, et le vignoble de Sibma, languissent; les Seigneurs des nations ont foulé ses meilleurs plants, qui atteignaient jusques à Jahzer, ils couraient çà et là par le désert, et ses provins s'étendaient et passaient au delà de la mer. | For the fields of Heshbon languish, [and] the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice branches thereof, which reached even unto Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness; its shoots were spread abroad, they passed over the sea. |
| 9 | Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen. | C'est pourquoi je pleurerai du pleur de Jahzer, le vignoble de Sibma; je t'arroserai de mes larmes, ô Hesbon et Elhalé! car l'ennemi avec des cris s'est jeté sur tes fruits d'Eté, et sur ta moisson. | Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the [battle] shout is fallen. |
| 10 | And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease. | Et la joie et la gaieté s'est retirée du champ fertile; on ne se réjouira plus, et on ne s'égayera plus dans les vignes, celui qui foulait le vin ne le foulera plus dans les cuves, j'ai fait cesser la chanson de la vendange. | And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the [vintage] shout to cease. |
| 11 | Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh. | C'est pourquoi mes entrailles mèneront du bruit comme une harpe sur Moab, et mon ventre sur Kir-Hérès. | Wherefore my heart soundeth like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres. |
| 12 | And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail. | Et il arrivera qu'on verra que Moab se lassera pour aller au haut lieu, et qu'il entrera en son saint lieu pour prier; mais il ne pourra rien obtenir. | And it shall come to pass, when Moab presenteth himself, when he wearieth himself upon the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail. |
| 13 | This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time. | C'est là la parole que l'Eternel a prononcée depuis longtemps sur Moab. | This is the word that Jehovah spake concerning Moab in time past. |
| 14 | But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble. | Et maintenant l'Eternel a parlé, en disant: dans trois ans, tels que sont les ans d'un mercenaire, la gloire de Moab sera avilie, avec toute cette grande multitude; et le résidu sera petit, ce sera peu de chose, ce ne sera rien de considérable. | But now Jehovah hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account. |
