| 1 | And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, | La parole de Yahweh me fut adressée en ces termes : | And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, |
| 2 | Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; | "Fils de l'homme, propose une énigme et raconte une parabole à la maison d'Israël, et dis : | Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; |
| 3 | And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: | Ainsi parle le Seigneur Yahweh : Le grand aigle, aux grandes ailes, à la large envergure, et couvert d'un plumage aux couleurs variées, vint vers le Liban et enleva la cime du cèdre. | and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: |
| 4 | He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants. | Il arracha le plus élevé de ses rameaux, l'emporta dans un pays de Chanaan et le plaça dans une ville de marchands. | he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it unto a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants. |
| 5 | He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree. | Puis il prit du plant du pays et le plaça dans un sol fertile; il le mit près d'une eau abondante et le planta comme un saule. | He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow-tree. |
| 6 | And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. | Ce rejeton poussa et devint un cep de vigne étendu, peu élevé; ses rameaux étaient tournés vers l'aigle et ses racines étaient sous lui; il devint un cep, donna des jets et poussa des branches. | And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. |
| 7 | There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. | Il y avait un autre grand aigle, aux grandes ailes, au plumage abondant; et voici que cette vigne étendit avidement ses racines vers lui, et que, du parterre où elle était plantée, elle poussa vers lui ses rameaux pour qu'il l'arrosât. | There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it. |
| 8 | It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. | Elle était plantée dans une bonne terre, auprès d'eaux abondantes, de manière à pousser du feuillage et à porter du fruit, pour devenir une vigne magnifique. | It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. |
| 9 | Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof. | Dis : Ainsi parle le Seigneur Yahweh : Prospérera-t-elle ? N'arrachera-t-on pas ses racines et n'abattra-t-on pas son fruit pour qu'elle sèche ? Toutes les jeunes feuilles qu'elle poussait se dessécheront. Il ne faudra ni un bras puissant ni beaucoup de gens pour l'enlever de ses racines. | Say thou, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? and not by a strong arm or much people can it be raised from the roots thereof. |
| 10 | Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew. | Et voici qu'elle est plantée; mais prospérera-t-elle ? Dès que le vent d'Orient l'aura touchée, ne séchera-t-elle pas ? Dans le parterre où elle a poussé, elle séchera." | Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the beds where it grew. |
| 11 | Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, | La parole de Yahweh me fut adressée en ces termes : | Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, |
| 12 | Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon; | "Dis donc à la maison rebelle : Ne savez-vous pas ce que cela signifie ? Dis : Voici que le roi de Babylone est allé à Jérusalem, qu'il a pris son roi et ses chefs et les a fait venir auprès de lui à Babylone. | Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon: |
| 13 | And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land: | Puis il a pris un homme de la race royale, il a conclu une alliance avec lui et lui a fait prêter serment. Il avait pris les hommes puissants du pays, | and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land; |
| 14 | That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand. | pour que le royaume fût dans pouvoir observant son alliance pour subsister. | that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand. |
| 15 | But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered? | Mais il s'est révolté contre lui, envoyant ses messagers en Egypte pour qu'on lui donnât des chevaux et beaucoup d'hommes. Réussira-t-il ? Echappera-t-il, celui qui fait de telles choses ? Il a rompu l'alliance, et il échapperait! | But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape? |
| 16 | As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. | Je suis vivant, --oracle du Seigneur Yahweh : C'est dans la ville du roi qui l'a fait régner, dont il a méprisé le serment et dont il a rompu l'alliance, c'est chez lui, dans Babylone, qu'il mourra. | As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. |
| 17 | Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons: | Et le pharaon n'agira pas pour lui, dans la guerre, avec une grande armée et un peuple nombreux, quand un élèvera des terrasses et qu'on construira des murs pour faire périr beaucoup d'hommes! | Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons. |
| 18 | Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape. | Il a méprisé le serment en rompant l'alliance, et voilà qu'il avait donné sa main! Il a fait tout cela, il n'échappera pas. | For he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet hath done all these things; he shall not escape. |
| 19 | Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head. | C'est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur Yahweh : Je suis vivant : c'est mon serment qu'il a méprisé, et mon alliance qu'il a rompue; je ferai retomber cela sur sa tête. | Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own head. |
| 20 | And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me. | J'étendrai sur lui mon rets, et il sera pris dans mon filet; je le ferai venir à Babylone, et là je le mettrai en cause pour sa perfidie qu'il a montrée envers toi. | And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me. |
| 21 | And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it. | Tous ses fuyards de toutes ses troupes tomberont par l'épée, et ceux qui resteront seront dispersés à tout vent; et vous saurez que moi, Yahweh, j'ai parlé. | And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it. |
| 22 | Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent: | Ainsi parle le Seigneur Yahweh : Je prendrai, moi, un rameau de la cime du cèdre élevé et je le placerai; de l'extrémité de ses branches je couperai un tendre rameau, et je le planterai sur une montagne haute et élevée. | Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain: |
| 23 | In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. | Je le planterai sur la haute Montagne d'Israël; il poussera des branches et portera du fruit, et il deviendra un cèdre majestueux; tout passereau, tout oiseau habitera sous lui; ils habiteront à l'ombre de ses rameaux. | in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of the branches thereof shall they dwell. |
| 24 | And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it. | Et tous les arbres des champs sauront que moi, Yahweh, j'ai abaissé l'arbre qui était élevé, et élevé l'arbre qui était abaissé, que j'ai fait sécher l'arbre vert et fait verdir l'arbre sec. Moi, Yahweh, j'ai parlé et j'agirai." | And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it. |
