| 1 | When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. | Quand j'ai voulu guérir Israël, alors s'est révélée l'iniquité d'Ephraïm, et la méchanceté de Samarie ; car ils pratiquent le mensonge; le voleur pénètre dans la maison, le brigand se répand au dehors. | When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers ravageth without. |
| 2 | And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face. | Et ils ne disent pas en leurs coeurs que je me souviens de toute leur méchanceté. Maintenant leurs forfaits les entourent, ils sont là devant moi. | And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face. |
| 3 | They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. | Ils égaient le roi par leur méchanceté, et les princes par leurs mensonges. | They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. |
| 4 | They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened. | Ils sont tous adultères, pareils à un four allumé par le boulanger, qui cesse d'attiser le feu, depuis qu'il a pétri la pâte jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit levée. | They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir [the fire], from the kneading of the dough, until it be leavened. |
| 5 | In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. | Au jour de notre roi, les princes se rendent malades par la chaleur du vin ; il a étendu sa main avec les moqueurs. | On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers. |
| 6 | For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. | Car, dans leur complot, ils ont mis leurs coeurs comme dans un four. Leur boulanger a dormi toute la nuit; le matin, il a été embrasé comme une flamme ardente. | For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. |
| 7 | They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. | Tous sont chauffés comme un four, et ils dévorent leurs juges. Tous leur rois sont tombés, sans qu'aucun d'eux ait crié vers moi. | They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. |
| 8 | Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. | Ephraïm se mêle avec les peuples ; Ephraïm est un gâteau qu'on n'a pas retourné. | Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. |
| 9 | Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. | Des étrangers ont dévoré sa force, et il ne le sait pas ; des cheveux blancs parsèment sa tête, et il ne le sait pas. | Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth [it] not. |
| 10 | And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this. | L'orgueil d'Ephraïm témoigne contre lui ils ne reviennent pas à Yahweh, leur Dieu et ils ne le recherchent pas, malgré tout cela. | And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: yet they have not returned unto Jehovah their God, nor sought him, for all this. |
| 11 | Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. | Ephraïm est devenu comme une colombe, simple et sans intelligence; ils invoquent l'Egypte, ils vont en Assyrie. | And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria. |
| 12 | When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard. | Pendant qu'ils y vont, j'étends sur eux mon filet ; je les ferai tomber comme les oiseaux du ciel, je les châtierai comme on l'a annoncé dans leur assemblée. | When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard. |
| 13 | Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me. | Malheur à eux, car ils ont fui loin de moi ! Ruine sur eux, car ils m'ont été infidèles ! Et moi, je voudrais les sauver ; mais eux disent contre moi des mensonges. | Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me. |
| 14 | And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me. | Ils ne crient point vers moi dans leur coeur, quand ils se lamentent sur leurs couches. Ils se tourmentent au sujet du froment et du vin nouveau, se détournant de moi. | And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against me. |
| 15 | Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me. | Moi, je les instruisais et je fortifiais leurs bras, et ils méditent le mal contre moi. | Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise mischief against me. |
| 16 | They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. | Ils se tournent, mais non pas en haut ; ils sont comme un arc trompeur; leurs chefs tomberont par l'épée à cause de la fureur de leurs langues; et cela fera rire d'eux au pays d'Egypte. | They return, but not to [him that is] on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. |
