| 1 | Écoutez-moi, vous qui poursuivez la justice, Qui cherchez l'Éternel ! Portez les regards sur le rocher d'où vous avez été taillés, Sur le creux de la fosse d'où vous avez été tirés. | 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. | 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 | Portez les regards sur Abraham votre père, Et sur Sara qui vous a enfantés ; Car lui seul je l'ai appelé, Je l'ai béni et multiplié. | Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. | 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 | Ainsi l'Éternel a pitié de Sion, Il a pitié de toutes ses ruines ; Il rendra son désert semblable à un Éden, Et sa terre aride à un jardin de l'Éternel. La joie et l'allégresse se trouveront au milieu d'elle, Les actions de grâces et le chant des cantiques. | 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. | 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 | Mon peuple, sois attentif ! Ma nation, prête-moi l'oreille ! Car la loi sortira de moi, Et j'établirai ma loi pour être la lumière des peuples. | 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. | 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 | Ma justice est proche, mon salut va paraître, Et mes bras jugeront les peuples ; Les îles espéreront en moi, Elles se confieront en mon bras. | 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. | 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 | Levez les yeux vers le ciel, et regardez en bas sur la terre ! Car les cieux s'évanouiront comme une fumée, La terre tombera en lambeaux comme un vêtement, Et ses habitants périront comme des mouches ; Mais mon salut durera éternellement, Et ma justice n'aura point de fin. | 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. | 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 | Écoutez-moi, vous qui connaissez la justice, Peuple, qui as ma loi dans ton coeur ! Ne craignez pas l'opprobre des hommes, Et ne tremblez pas devant leurs outrages. | 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. | 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 | Car la teigne les dévorera comme un vêtement, Et la gerce les rongera comme de la laine ; Mais ma justice durera éternellement, Et mon salut s'étendra 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 from generation to generation. | 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 | Réveille-toi, réveille-toi ! revêts-toi de force, bras de l'Éternel ! Réveille-toi, comme aux jours d'autrefois, Dans les anciens âges ! N'est-ce pas toi qui abattis l'Égypte, Qui transperças le monstre ? | 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? | 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 | N'est-ce pas toi qui mis à sec la mer, Les eaux du grand abîme, Qui frayas dans les profondeurs de la mer Un chemin pour le passage des rachetés ? | 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? | 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 | Ainsi les rachetés de l'Éternel retourneront, Ils iront à Sion avec chants de triomphe, Et une joie éternelle couronnera leur tête ; L'allégresse et la joie s'approcheront, La douleur et les gémissements s'enfuiront. | 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. | 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 | C'est moi, c'est moi qui vous console. Qui es-tu, pour avoir peur de l'homme mortel, Et du fils de l'homme, pareil à l'herbe ? | 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; | 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 | Et tu oublierais l'Éternel, qui t'a fait, Qui a étendu les cieux et fondé la terre ! Et tu tremblerais incessamment tout le jour Devant la colère de l'oppresseur, Parce qu'il cherche à détruire ! Où donc est la colère de l'oppresseur ? | 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? | 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 | Bientôt celui qui est courbé sous les fers sera délivré ; Il ne mourra pas dans la fosse, Et son pain ne lui manquera pas. | The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail. | The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die [and go down] into the pit, neither shall his bread fail. |
| 15 | Je suis l'Éternel, ton Dieu, Qui soulève la mer et fais mugir ses flots. L'Éternel des armées est son nom. | But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name. | For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name. |
| 16 | Je mets mes paroles dans ta bouche, Et je te couvre de l'ombre de ma main, Pour étendre de nouveaux cieux et fonder une nouvelle terre, Et pour dire à Sion : Tu es mon peuple ! | 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. | 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 | Réveille-toi, réveille-toi ! lève-toi, Jérusalem, Qui as bu de la main de l'Éternel la coupe de sa colère, Qui as bu, sucé jusqu'à la lie la coupe d'étourdissement ! | 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. | 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 | Il n'y en a aucun pour la conduire De tous les fils qu'elle a enfantés, Il n'y en a aucun pour la prendre par la main De tous les fils qu'elle a élevés. | 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. | 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 | Ces deux choses te sont arrivées : -Qui te plaindra ? -Le ravage et la ruine, la famine et l'épée. -Qui suis-je pour te consoler ? - | 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? | 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 | Tes fils en défaillance gisaient à tous les coins de rues, Comme le cerf dans un filet, Chargés de la colère de l'Éternel, Des menaces de ton Dieu. | 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. | 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 | C'est pourquoi, écoute ceci, malheureuse, Ivre, mais non de vin ! | Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine: | Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but now with wine: |
| 22 | Ainsi parle ton Seigneur, l'Éternel, Ton Dieu, qui défend son peuple : Voici, je prends de ta main la coupe d'étourdissement, La coupe de ma colère ; Tu ne la boiras plus ! | 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: | 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 | Je la mettrai dans la main de tes oppresseurs, Qui te disaient : Courbe-toi, et nous passerons ! Tu faisais alors de ton dos comme une terre, Comme une rue pour les passants. | 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. | 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. |
