| 1 | Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. | Ainsi parle Yahweh : Où est la lettre de divorce de votre mère, par laquelle je l'ai répudiée ? Ou bien, quel est celui de mes créanciers auquel je vous ai vendus ? C'est à cause de vos iniquités que vous avez été vendus, à cause de vos péchés que votre mère a été renvoyée. | Thus saith Jehovah, Where is the bill of your mother`s divorcement, wherewith I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away. |
| 2 | Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. | Je suis venu : pourquoi n'y avait-il personne ? J'ai appelé : pourquoi personne n'a-t-il répondu ? Ma main est-elle donc trop courte pour délivrer, ou bien n'ai-je pas assez de force pour sauver ? Voici que, par ma menace, je dessèche la mer, je change les fleuves en désert ; leurs poissons pourrissent faute d'eau, et ils périssent de soif. | Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst. |
| 3 | I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. | Je revêts les cieux d'obscurité, et je les couvre d'un sac. | I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. |
| 4 | The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. | Le Seigneur Yahweh m'a donné la langue des disciples, pour que je sache fortifier par ma parole celui qui est abattu. Il éveille, chaque matin, il éveille mon oreille, pour que j'écoute en disciple. | The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught. |
| 5 | The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. | Le Seigneur Yahweh m'a ouvert l'oreille ! et moi, je n'ai pas résisté, je ne me suis pas retiré en arrière. | The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward. |
| 6 | I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. | J'ai livré mon dos à ceux qui me frappaient, et mes joues à ceux qui m'arrachaient la barbe ; je n'ai pas dérobé mon visage aux outrages et aux crachats. | I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting. |
| 7 | For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. | Le Seigneur Yahweh m'est venu en aide; c'est pourquoi l'outrage ne m'a point abattu ; c'est pourquoi j'ai rendu ma face semblable à un caillou; et je savais que je ne serais pas confondu. | For the Lord Jehovah will help me; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. |
| 8 | He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. | Il est proche, celui qui me justifie : qui plaidera contre moi ? Comparaissons ensemble! Qui est mon adversaire : qu'il s'approche de moi ! | He is near that justifieth me; who will content with me? let us stand up together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. |
| 9 | Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. | Le Seigneur Yahweh m'est venu en aide : qui est-ce qui me condamnerait ? Ah! ils tomberont tous en lambeaux comme un vêtement; la teigne les dévorera | Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up. |
| 10 | Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. | Qui d'entre vous craint Yahweh, et écoute la voix de son Serviteur ? Quiconque marche dans les ténèbres, privé de lumière, qu'il se confie dans le nom de Yahweh, et qu'il s'appuie sur son Dieu ! | Who is among you that feareth Jehovah, that obeyeth the voice of his servant? he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and rely upon his God. |
| 11 | Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. | Mais vous tous qui allumez un feu, et qui vous armez de flèches embrasées, allez dans les flammes de votre feu, et au milieu des flèches que vous avez enflammées ! C'est par ma main que ces choses vous arriveront ; vous serez couchés dans la douleur ! | Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that gird yourselves about with firebrands; walk ye in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. |
