| 1 | Oracle sur l'Égypte. Voici, l'Éternel est monté sur une nuée rapide, il vient en Égypte ; Et les idoles de l'Égypte tremblent devant lui, Et le coeur des Égyptiens tombe en défaillance. | The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. | The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh unto Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. |
| 2 | J'armerai l'Égyptien contre l'Égyptien, Et l'on se battra frère contre frère, ami contre ami, Ville contre ville, royaume contre royaume. | And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. | And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom. |
| 3 | L'esprit de l'Égypte disparaîtra du milieu d'elle, Et j'anéantirai son conseil ; On consultera les idoles et les enchanteurs, Ceux qui évoquent les morts et ceux qui prédisent l'avenir. | And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. | And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. |
| 4 | Et je livrerai l'Égypte entre les mains d'un maître sévère ; Un roi cruel dominera sur eux, Dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel des armées. | And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. | And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts. |
| 5 | Les eaux de la mer tariront, Le fleuve deviendra sec et aride ; | And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. | And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry. |
| 6 | Les rivières seront infectes, Les canaux de l'Égypte seront bas et desséchés, Les joncs et les roseaux se flétriront. | And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither. | And the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither away. |
| 7 | Ce ne sera que nudité le long du fleuve, à l'embouchure du fleuve ; Tout ce qui aura été semé près du fleuve se desséchera, Se réduira en poussière et périra. | The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more. | The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more. |
| 8 | Les pêcheurs gémiront, Tous ceux qui jettent l'hameçon dans le fleuve se lamenteront, Et ceux qui étendent des filets sur les eaux seront désolés. | The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. | And the fishers shall lament, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. |
| 9 | Ceux qui travaillent le lin peigné Et qui tissent des étoffes blanches seront confus. | Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded. | Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave white cloth, shall be confounded. |
| 10 | Les soutiens du pays seront dans l'abattement, Tous les mercenaires auront l'âme attristée. | And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish. | And the pillars [of Egypt] shall be broken in pieces; all they that work for hire [shall be] grieved in soul. |
| 11 | Les princes de Tsoan ne sont que des insensés, Les sages conseillers de Pharaon forment un conseil stupide. Comment osez-vous dire à Pharaon : Je suis fils des sages, fils des anciens rois ? | Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? | The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? |
| 12 | Où sont-ils donc tes sages ? Qu'ils te fassent des révélations, Et qu'on apprenne ce que l'Éternel des armées a résolu contre l'Égypte. | Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt. | Where then are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now; and let them know what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt. |
| 13 | Les princes de Tsoan sont fous, Les princes de Noph sont dans l'illusion, Les chefs des tribus égarent l'Égypte ; | The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof. | The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Memphis are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner-stone of her tribes. |
| 14 | L'Éternel a répandu au milieu d'elle un esprit de vertige, Pour qu'ils fassent chanceler les Égyptiens dans tous leurs actes, Comme un homme ivre chancelle en vomissant. | The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. | Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. |
| 15 | Et l'Égypte sera hors d'état de faire Ce que font la tête et la queue, La branche de palmier et le roseau. | Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do. | Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do. |
| 16 | En ce jour, l'Égypte sera comme des femmes : Elle tremblera et aura peur, En voyant s'agiter la main de l'Éternel des armées, Quand il la lèvera contre elle. | In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it. | In that day shall the Egyptians be like unto women; and they shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over them. |
| 17 | Et le pays de Juda sera pour l'Égypte un objet d'effroi : Dès qu'on lui en parlera, elle sera dans l'épouvante, A cause de la résolution prise contre elle par l'Éternel des armées. | And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it. | And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt; every one to whom mention is made thereof shall be afraid, because of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, which he purposeth against it. |
| 18 | En ce temps-là, il y aura cinq villes au pays d'Égypte, Qui parleront la langue de Canaan, Et qui jureront par l'Éternel des armées : L'une d'elles sera appelée ville de la destruction. | In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction. | In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Jehovah of hosts; one shall be called The city of destruction. |
| 19 | En ce même temps, il y aura un autel à l'Éternel Au milieu du pays d'Égypte, Et sur la frontière un monument à l'Éternel. | In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD. | In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah. |
| 20 | Ce sera pour l'Éternel des armées un signe et un témoignage Dans le pays d'Égypte ; Ils crieront à l'Éternel à cause des oppresseurs, Et il leur enverra un sauveur et un défenseur pour les délivrer. | And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. | And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of oppressors, and he will send them a saviour, and a defender, and he will deliver them. |
| 21 | Et l'Éternel sera connu des Égyptiens, Et les Égyptiens connaîtront l'Éternel en ce jour-là ; Ils feront des sacrifices et des offrandes, Ils feront des voeux à l'Éternel et les accompliront. | And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it. | And Jehovah shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and oblation, and shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and shall perform it. |
| 22 | Ainsi l'Éternel frappera les Égyptiens, Il les frappera, mais il les guérira ; Et ils se convertiront à l'Éternel, Qui les exaucera et les guérira. | And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them. | And Jehovah will smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they shall return unto Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them. |
| 23 | En ce même temps, il y aura une route d'Égypte en Assyrie : Les Assyriens iront en Égypte, et les Égyptiens en Assyrie, Et les Égyptiens avec les Assyriens serviront l'Éternel. | In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. | In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians. |
| 24 | En ce même temps, Israël sera, lui troisième, Uni à l'Égypte et à l'Assyrie, Et ces pays seront l'objet d'une bénédiction. | In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: | In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth; |
| 25 | L'Éternel des armées les bénira, en disant : Bénis soient l'Égypte, mon peuple, Et l'Assyrie, oeuvre de mes mains, Et Israël, mon héritage ! | Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. | for that Jehovah of hosts hath blessed them, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. |
