| 1 | Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. | Malheur à toi, dévastateur, qui n'es pas dévasté; pillard, que l'on n'a pas encore pillé! Quand tu auras fini de dévaster, tu seras dévasté; quand tu auras achevé de piller, on te pillera. | Woe to thee that destroyest, and thou wast not destroyed; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to destroy, thou shalt be destroyed; and when thou hast made an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. |
| 2 | O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. | Yahweh, ayez pitié de nous! C'est en vous que nous espérons ; soyez leur bras chaque matin, et notre délivrance au temps de la détresse. | O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou our arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. |
| 3 | At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. | Au bruit de votre tonnerre, les peuples fuient ; quand vous vous levez, les nations se dispersent. | At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered. |
| 4 | And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. | Votre butin est ramassé comme ramasse la sauterelle; On se précipite dessus comme un essaim de sauterelles. | And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathereth: as locusts leap shall men leap upon it. |
| 5 | The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. | Yahweh est élevé, car il habite là-haut ; il remplit Sion d'équité et de justice. | Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness. |
| 6 | And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. | Tes, jours sont assurés; tu auras en abondance le salut, la sagesse et la connaissance ; la crainte de Yahweh, c'est là ton trésor. | And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah is thy treasure. |
| 7 | Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. | Voici que leurs héros poussent des cris dans les rues, que les messagers de paix pleurent amèrement. | Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. |
| 8 | The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man. | Les routes sont désertes ; Il n'y a plus de passants sur les chemins. Il a rompu le traité et méprisé les villes, Il ne respecte pas les hommes. | The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: [the enemy] hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man. |
| 9 | The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits. | Le pays est en deuil et languit ; le Liban est confus et flétri, Saron est devenu comme l'Arabah. Basan et le Carmel secouent leur feuillage. | The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is confounded and withereth away; Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves]. |
| 10 | Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. | Maintenant je me lèverai, dit Yahweh, maintenant je me dresserai, maintenant je m'exhausserai. | Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted. |
| 11 | Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you. | Vous avez conçu de la paille, et vous enfanterez du chaume, votre souffle est le feu qui vous dévorera. | Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you. |
| 12 | And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire. | Et les peuples seront des fournaises à chaux, des épines coupées qui brûlent dans le feu. | And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire. |
| 13 | Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. | Vous qui êtes loin, écoutez ce que j'ai fait, et vous qui êtes près, connaissez ma puissance! | Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. |
| 14 | The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? | Les pécheurs ont tremblé en Sion, et l'effroi a saisi les impies : "Qui de nous séjournera dans le feu dévorant ? Qui de nous séjournera dans les flammes éternelles ?" | The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings? |
| 15 | He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; | Celui qui marche dans la justice et qui parle avec droiture; qui rejette les gains extorqués, qui secoue ses mains pour ne pas prendre de présent ; qui ferme son oreille aux propos sanguinaires, et se voile les yeux pour ne point voir le mal | He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking a bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil: |
| 16 | He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. | celui-là habitera dans des lieux élevés; la forteresse bâtie sur le rocher est sa retraite; son pain lui sera donné et ses eaux ne tariront jamais. | He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure. |
| 17 | Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. | Tes yeux contempleront le roi dans sa beauté; ils verront une terre ouverte au loin. | Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a land that reacheth afar. |
| 18 | Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers? | Ton coeur se rappellera ses terreurs : "Où est le scribe ? où l'exacteur qui tenait la balance ? Où l'officier qui comptait les tours ?" | Thy heart shall muse on the terror: Where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers? |
| 19 | Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand. | Le peuple insolent, tu ne le verras plus, le peuple au langage obscur et qu'on n'entend pas, qui balbutie une langue inintelligible. | Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand. |
| 20 | Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. | Regarde Sion, la cité de nos fêtes ; que tes yeux voient Jérusalem, séjour heureux, tente qui ne sera point transportée, dont les pieux ne seront jamais arrachés, et dont aucun cordage ne sera enlevé. | Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. |
| 21 | But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. | Là vraiment, Yahweh dans sa majesté réside pour nous; là sont des fleuves et des larges canaux, où ne se risquera aucune barque à rames, où aucun puissant navire ne pénétrera jamais. | But there Jehovah will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. |
| 22 | For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. | Car Yahweh est notre juge, Yahweh est notre législateur, Yahweh est notre roi; c'est lui qui nous sauvera. | For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah is our lawgiver, Jehovah is our king; he will save us. |
| 23 | Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. | Tes cordages sont relâchés ; ils ne maintiennent plus le mât sur sa base; et ne tiennent plus le pavillon déployé. Alors on partage les dépouilles d'un riche butin ; les boiteux mêmes prennent part au pillage. | Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey. |
| 24 | And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. | Aucun habitant ne dit : "Je suis malade!"Le peuple qui demeure en Sion a reçu le pardon de son iniquité. | And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. |
