| 1 | Réjouis-toi, stérile, toi qui n'enfantes plus ! Fais éclater ton allégresse et ta joie, toi qui n'as plus de douleurs ! Car les fils de la délaissée seront plus nombreux Que les fils de celle qui est mariée, dit l'Éternel. | Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. | Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith Jehovah. |
| 2 | Élargis l'espace de ta tente ; Qu'on déploie les couvertures de ta demeure : Ne retiens pas ! Allonge tes cordages, Et affermis tes pieux ! | Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; | Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations; spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. |
| 3 | Car tu te répandras à droite et à gauche ; Ta postérité envahira des nations, Et peuplera des villes désertes. | For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. | For thou shalt spread aboard on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. |
| 4 | Ne crains pas, car tu ne seras point confondue ; Ne rougis pas, car tu ne seras pas déshonorée ; Mais tu oublieras la honte de ta jeunesse, Et tu ne te souviendras plus de l'opprobre de ton veuvage. | Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. | Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth; and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou remember no more. |
| 5 | Car ton créateur est ton époux : L'Éternel des armées est son nom ; Et ton rédempteur est le Saint d'Israël : Il se nomme Dieu de toute la terre ; | For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. | For thy Maker is thy husband; Jehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called. |
| 6 | Car l'Éternel te rappelle comme une femme délaissée et au coeur attristé, Comme une épouse de la jeunesse qui a été répudiée, dit ton Dieu. | For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. | For Jehovah hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, saith thy God. |
| 7 | Quelques instants je t'avais abandonnée, Mais avec une grande affection je t'accueillerai ; | For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. | For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. |
| 8 | Dans un instant de colère, je t'avais un moment dérobé ma face, Mais avec un amour éternel j'aurai compassion de toi, Dit ton rédempteur, l'Éternel. | In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. | In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting lovingkindness will I have mercy on thee, saith Jehovah thy Redeemer. |
| 9 | Il en sera pour moi comme des eaux de Noé : J'avais juré que les eaux de Noé ne se répandraient plus sur la terre ; Je jure de même de ne plus m'irriter contre toi Et de ne plus te menacer. | For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. | For this is [as] the waters of Noah unto me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. |
| 10 | Quand les montagnes s'éloigneraient, Quand les collines chancelleraient, Mon amour ne s'éloignera point de toi, Et mon alliance de paix ne chancellera point, Dit l'Éternel, qui a compassion de toi. | For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. | For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee. |
| 11 | Malheureuse, battue de la tempête, et que nul ne console ! Voici, je garnirai tes pierres d'antimoine, Et je te donnerai des fondements de saphir ; | O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. | O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set thy stones in fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. |
| 12 | Je ferai tes créneaux de rubis, Tes portes d'escarboucles, Et toute ton enceinte de pierres précieuses. | And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. | And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones. |
| 13 | Tous tes fils seront disciples de l'Éternel, Et grande sera la postérité de tes fils. | And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. | And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children. |
| 14 | Tu seras affermie par la justice ; Bannis l'inquiétude, car tu n'as rien à craindre, Et la frayeur, car elle n'approchera pas de toi. | In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. | In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee. |
| 15 | Si l'on forme des complots, cela ne viendra pas de moi ; Quiconque se liguera contre toi tombera sous ton pouvoir. | Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. | Behold, they may gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee. |
| 16 | Voici, j'ai créé l'ouvrier qui souffle le charbon au feu, Et qui fabrique une arme par son travail ; Mais j'ai créé aussi le destructeur pour la briser. | Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. | Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the fire of coals, and bringeth forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. |
| 17 | Toute arme forgée contre toi sera sans effet ; Et toute langue qui s'élèvera en justice contre toi, Tu la condamneras. Tel est l'héritage des serviteurs de l'Éternel, Tel est le salut qui leur viendra de moi, Dit l'Éternel. | No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. | No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me, saith Jehovah. |
