| 1 | Écoutez la parole que l'Éternel vous adresse, Maison d'Israël ! | Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: | Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: | Ascoltate la parola che l'Eterno vi rivolge, o casa d'Israele. |
| 2 | Ainsi parle l'Éternel : N'imitez pas la voie des nations, Et ne craignez pas les signes du ciel, Parce que les nations les craignent. | Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. | thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them. | Così dice l'Eterno: Non imparate a seguire la via delle nazioni e non abbiate paura dei segni del cielo, perché sono le nazioni che ne hanno paura. |
| 3 | Car les coutumes des peuples ne sont que vanité. On coupe le bois dans la forêt ; La main de l'ouvrier le travaille avec la hache ; | For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. | For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe. | Poiché i costumi dei popoli sono vanità: infatti uno taglia un albero dal bosco, il lavoro delle mani di un operaio con l'ascia. |
| 4 | On l'embellit avec de l'argent et de l'or, On le fixe avec des clous et des marteaux, Pour qu'il ne branle pas. | They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. | They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. | Lo adornano d'argento e d'oro, lo fissano con chiodi e martelli perché non si muova. |
| 5 | Ces dieux sont comme une colonne massive, et ils ne parlent point ; On les porte, parce qu'ils ne peuvent marcher. Ne les craignez pas, car ils ne sauraient faire aucun mal, Et ils sont incapables de faire du bien. | They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. | They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good. | Stanno diritti come una palma e non possono parlare; bisogna portarli, perché non possono camminare. Non abbiate paura di loro, perché non possono fare alcun male, né è in loro potere fare il bene. |
| 6 | Nul n'est semblable à toi, ô Éternel ! Tu es grand, et ton nom est grand par ta puissance. | Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. | There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. | Nessuno è simile a te, o Eterno, tu sei grande e il tuo nome è grande in potenza. |
| 7 | Qui ne te craindrait, roi des nations ? C'est à toi que la crainte est due ; Car, parmi tous les sages des nations et dans tous leurs royaumes, Nul n'est semblable à toi. | Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. | Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee. | Chi non ti temerebbe, o re delle nazioni? Sì questo ti è dovuto, perché fra tutti i savi delle nazioni, in tutti i loro regni non c'è nessuno simile a te. |
| 8 | Tous ensemble, ils sont stupides et insensés ; Leur science n'est que vanité, c'est du bois ! | But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. | But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock. | Sono tutti insieme stupidi e insensati; il loro idolo di legno è una dottrina di nessun valore. |
| 9 | On apporte de Tarsis des lames d'argent, et d'Uphaz de l'or, L'ouvrier et la main de l'orfèvre les mettent en oeuvre ; Les vêtements de ces dieux sont d'étoffes teintes en bleu et en pourpre, Tous sont l'ouvrage d'habiles artisans. | Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men. | There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men. | Argento battuto in lamine portato da Tarshish, e oro da Ufaz, lavoro di artigiano e di mano di orefice; il loro vestito è di porpora e di scarlatto, sono tutti lavoro di uomini esperti. |
| 10 | Mais l'Éternel est Dieu en vérité, Il est un Dieu vivant et un roi éternel ; La terre tremble devant sa colère, Et les nations ne supportent pas sa fureur. | But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. | But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation. | Ma l'Eterno è il vero DIO egli è il DIO vivente e il re eterno. Davanti alla sua ira trema la terra e le nazioni non possono reggere davanti al suo sdegno. |
| 11 | Vous leur parlerez ainsi : Les dieux qui n'ont point fait les cieux et la terre Disparaîtront de la terre et de dessous les cieux. | Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. | Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens. | Così direte loro: Gli dèi che non hanno fatto i cieli e la terra scompariranno dalla terra e di sotto il cielo. |
| 12 | Il a créé la terre par sa puissance, Il a fondé le monde par sa sagesse, Il a étendu les cieux par son intelligence. | He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. | He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens: | Egli ha fatto la terra con la sua potenza, ha stabilito il mondo con la sua sapienza e con la sua intelligenza ha disteso i cieli. |
| 13 | A sa voix, les eaux mugissent dans les cieux ; Il fait monter les nuages des extrémités de la terre, Il produit les éclairs et la pluie, Il tire le vent de ses trésors. | When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. | when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries. | Quando emette la sua voce c'è un fragore di acque nel cielo; egli fa salire i vapori dalle estremità della terra, produce i lampi per la pioggia e fa uscire il vento dai suoi serbatoi. |
| 14 | Tout homme devient stupide par sa science, Tout orfèvre est honteux de son image taillée ; Car ses idoles ne sont que mensonge, Il n'y a point en elles de souffle, | Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. | Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. | Ogni uomo allora diventa insensato, privo di conoscenza, ogni orafo si vergogna della sua immagine scolpita, perché la sua immagine fusa è falsità e in essa non c'è spirito. |
| 15 | Elles sont une chose de néant, une oeuvre de tromperie ; Elles périront, quand viendra le châtiment. | They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. | They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. | Sono vanità, lavoro d'inganno, nel tempo della loro punizione periranno. |
| 16 | Celui qui est la part de Jacob n'est pas comme elles ; Car c'est lui qui a tout formé, Et Israël est la tribu de son héritage. L'Éternel des armées est son nom. | The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name. | The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name. | La porzione di Giacobbe non è come loro, perché Egli ha formato tutte le cose, e Israele, è la tribù della sua eredità. Il suo nome è l'Eterno degli eserciti. |
| 17 | Emporte du pays ce qui t'appartient, Toi qui es assise dans la détresse ! | Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. | Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege. | Raduna dal paese le tue mercanzie tu che sei cinta d'assedio. |
| 18 | Car ainsi parle l'Éternel : Voici, cette fois je vais lancer au loin les habitants du pays ; Je vais les serrer de près, afin qu'on les atteigne. - | For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so. | For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel [it]. | Poiché così dice l'Eterno: Ecco, questa volta io lancerò lontano gli abitanti del paese e farò venire su di loro una grande sventura, perché possano ritrovare me. |
| 19 | Malheur à moi ! je suis brisée ! Ma plaie est douloureuse ! Mais je dis : C'est une calamité qui m'arrive, Je la supporterai ! | Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. | Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is [my] grief, and I must bear it. | Guai a me a motivo della mia ferita; la mia piaga è dolorosa. Ma io ho detto: Questa è un'infermità che devo sopportare. |
| 20 | Ma tente est détruite, Tous mes cordages sont rompus ; Mes fils m'ont quittée, ils ne sont plus ; Je n'ai personne qui dresse de nouveau ma tente, Qui relève mes pavillons. - | My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. | My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. | La mia tenda è devastata e tutte le mie corde sono rotte, i miei figli sono andati lontano da me e non sono più non c'è più nessuno che pianti la mia tenda o che rialzi i miei padiglioni. |
| 21 | Les bergers ont été stupides, Ils n'ont pas cherché l'Éternel ; C'est pour cela qu'ils n'ont point prospéré, Et que tous leurs troupeaux se dispersent. | For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. | For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered. | Poiché i pastori sono stati insensati e non hanno cercato l'Eterno; perciò non hanno prosperato e tutto il loro gregge è stato disperso. |
| 22 | Voici, une rumeur se fait entendre ; C'est un grand tumulte qui vient du septentrion, Pour réduire les villes de Juda en un désert, En un repaire de chacals. - | Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons. | The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals. | Ecco, giunge un rumore di notizie e un gran trambusto dal paese del nord, per ridurre le città di Giuda una desolazione, un rifugio di sciacalli. |
| 23 | Je le sais, ô Éternel ! La voie de l'homme n'est pas en son pouvoir ; Ce n'est pas à l'homme, quand il marche, A diriger ses pas. | O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. | O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. | O Eterno, io so che la via dell'uomo non è in suo potere e non è in potere dell'uomo che cammina il dirigere i suoi passi |
| 24 | Châtie-moi, ô Éternel ! mais avec équité, Et non dans ta colère, de peur que tu ne m'anéantisses. | O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. | O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure: not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. | Correggimi, o Eterno, ma con giustizia, non nella tua ira per non ridurmi al nulla. |
| 25 | Répands ta fureur sur les nations qui ne te connaissent pas, Et sur les peuples qui n'invoquent pas ton nom ! Car ils dévorent Jacob, ils le dévorent, ils le consument, Ils ravagent sa demeure. | Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate. | Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation. | Riversa la tua ira sulle nazioni che non ti conoscono e sui popoli che non invocano il tuo nome, perché hanno divorato Giacobbe, sì, l'hanno divorato e consumato e hanno distrutto la sua dimora. |
