| 1 | Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. | Écoutez-moi, vous qui poursuivez la justice, qui cherchez l'Éternel! Regardez au rocher d'où vous avez été taillés, à la carrière d'où vous avez été tirés! | Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hold of the pit whence ye were digged. |
| 2 | Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. | Regardez à Abraham, votre père, et à Sara qui vous a enfantés; je l'ai appelé lorsqu'il était seul, je l'ai béni et l'ai multiplié. | Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many. |
| 3 | For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. | Ainsi l'Éternel va consoler Sion, il a pitié de toutes ses ruines; il fera de son désert un Éden, et de sa terre aride un jardin de l'Éternel; la joie et l'allégresse se trouveront au milieu d'elle, la louange et le chant des cantiques. | For Jehovah hath comforted Zion; he hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. |
| 4 | Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. | Sois attentif, mon peuple; toi, ma nation, prête-moi l'oreille! Car la loi procédera de moi, et j'établirai mon jugement pour servir de lumière aux peuples. | Attend unto me, O my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples. |
| 5 | My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. | Ma justice est proche, mon salut arrive, et mes bras jugeront les peuples. Les îles espéreront en moi, et se confieront en mon bras. | My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust. |
| 6 | Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. | Élevez vos yeux vers les cieux, et regardez en bas vers la terre; car les cieux s'évanouiront comme une fumée, la terre s'usera comme un vêtement, et, comme des mouches, ses habitants périront: mais mon salut durera toujours, et ma justice ne passera point. | Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. |
| 7 | Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. | Écoutez-moi, vous qui connaissez la justice, peuple dans le coeur duquel est ma loi! Ne craignez pas l'opprobre des hommes, et ne soyez point effrayés de leurs injures. | Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings. |
| 8 | For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation. | Car la teigne les rongera comme un vêtement, et la gerce les rongera comme la laine; mais ma justice durera toujours, et mon salut d'âge en âge. | For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation unto all generations. |
| 9 | Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? | Réveille-toi, réveille-toi! Revêts-toi de force, bras de l'Éternel! Réveille-toi comme aux jours d'autrefois, comme aux âges anciens! N'est-ce pas toi qui mis en pièces Rahab, qui transperças le dragon? | Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce the monster? |
| 10 | Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? | N'est-ce pas toi qui fis tarir la mer, les eaux du grand abîme; qui fis des profondeurs de la mer un chemin pour y faire passer les rachetés? | Is it not thou that driedst up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that madest the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over? |
| 11 | Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. | Les rachetés de l'Éternel retourneront, et viendront à Sion avec des chants de triomphe; une allégresse éternelle sera sur leurs têtes; ils obtiendront la joie et l'allégresse; la douleur et les gémissements s'enfuiront. | And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and sighing shall flee away. |
| 12 | I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass; | C'est moi, c'est moi qui vous console. Qui es-tu, pour avoir peur de l'homme mortel, du fils de l'homme qui deviendra comme l'herbe; | I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass; |
| 13 | And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor? | Pour oublier l'Éternel, ton créateur, qui a étendu les cieux et fondé la terre, et pour trembler sans cesse, tout le jour, devant la fureur de l'oppresseur, lorsqu'il s'apprête à détruire? Où donc est-elle, la fureur de l'oppresseur? | and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor? |
| 14 | The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail. | Bientôt l'homme courbé sous les fers sera mis en liberté. Il ne descendra pas dans la fosse, et son pain ne lui manquera point. | The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die [and go down] into the pit, neither shall his bread fail. |
| 15 | But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name. | Car je suis l'Éternel ton Dieu, qui frappe la mer et fais mugir ses flots, de qui le nom est l'Éternel des armées. | For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name. |
| 16 | And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people. | J'ai mis mes paroles dans ta bouche, et t'ai couvert de l'ombre de ma main, pour rétablir les cieux et fonder la terre, pour dire à Sion: Tu es mon peuple! | And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people. |
| 17 | Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out. | Réveille-toi, réveille-toi! Lève-toi, Jérusalem! qui as bu de la main de l'Éternel la coupe de sa colère, qui as bu et sucé jusqu'à la lie la coupe d'étourdissement. | Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it. |
| 18 | There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up. | Il n'y en a aucun pour la conduire, de tous les enfants qu'elle a enfantés; il n'y en a aucun pour la prendre par la main, de tous les enfants qu'elle a nourris. | There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand among all the sons that she hath brought up. |
| 19 | These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee? | Ces deux choses te sont arrivées, et qui te plaindra? la dévastation et la ruine, la famine et l'épée. Comment te consolerai-je? | These two things are befallen thee, who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee? |
| 20 | Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God. | Tes enfants sont défaillants, couchés à tous les carrefours des rues, comme un cerf dans un filet, chargés de la colère de l'Éternel et de l'indignation de ton Dieu. | Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God. |
| 21 | Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine: | C'est pourquoi, écoute ceci, toi qui es affligée, ivre mais non pas de vin. | Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but now with wine: |
| 22 | Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: | Ainsi a dit l'Éternel, ton Seigneur, ton Dieu, qui défend la cause de son peuple: Voici j'ai pris de ta main la coupe d'étourdissement, le calice de ma colère, tu n'en boiras plus désormais. | Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; thou shalt no more drink it again: |
| 23 | But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over. | Et je le mettrai dans la main de tes oppresseurs, de ceux qui disaient à ton âme: Prosterne-toi pour que nous passions! Et tu faisais de ton dos comme une terre, et comme une rue pour les passants. | and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee, that have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over. |
