Ezekiel 26
1 Almost twelve [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
Et il arriva, la onzième année, le premier [jour] du mois, que la parole de l’Éternel vint à moi, disant:
2 “You human, [the people of] Tyre [city] shouted joyfully and said about Jerusalem, ‘[Jerusalem, ] the city from which many traders/merchants went to many nations, is now destroyed. And now people from all over the world will come to us to buy and sell things. Because Jerusalem has now been ruined, we will prosper!’
Fils d’homme, parce que Tyr a dit touchant Jérusalem: Ha ha! elle est brisée, la porte des peuples! elle est tournée vers moi; je serai remplie; elle a été rendue déserte; …
3 Therefore, this is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am now the enemy of [you people of] Tyre. I will [the armies of] many nations to come and attack your [city], like the waves of the sea beat against the shores.
à cause de cela, ainsi dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Voici, j’en veux à toi, Tyr! et je ferai monter contre toi des nations nombreuses, comme la mer fait monter ses flots.
4 Their soldiers will destroy the walls around Tyre and tear down its towers. Tyre will become a place where people from many nations steal valuable things, [and then the city will be completely destroyed]. Then they will scrape away the rubble and cause the city to become a bare rock.
Et elles détruiront les murs de Tyr et renverseront ses tours; et je balaierai d’elle sa poussière, et je ferai d’elle un rocher nu.
5 Out in the sea, Tyre will become an island where men spread [their fishing] nets to dry them. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have predicted it.
Elle sera un lieu pour étendre les filets, au milieu de la mer; car j’ai parlé, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel; et elle deviendra la proie des nations;
6 The people in small villages on the coast near Tyre will be killed [their enemies’] swords. Then people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’
et ses filles qui sont dans la campagne seront tuées par l’épée; et ils sauront que je suis l’Éternel.
7 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [is going to happen]: ‘From the north, I am going to bring the most powerful king [in the world], King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, [with his army] to attack Tyre. They will bring horses and chariots, and men who ride the horses [and men who drive the chariots]; it will be a huge army.
Car ainsi dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Voici, je fais venir du nord, contre Tyr, Nebucadretsar, roi de Babylone, le roi des rois, avec des chevaux, et des chars, et des cavaliers, et un rassemblement et un peuple nombreux.
8 [In the battles in the small villages] on the coast, their soldiers will kill [many] people with their swords. [Then] they will set up devices to batter the wall around the city of Tyre, and they will build a dirt ramp up to the top of the wall, and they will all hold up shields [to protect themselves from arrows being shot from the ground].
Tes filles qui sont dans la campagne, il les tuera par l’épée; et il établira contre toi des tours; et il élèvera contre toi des terrasses; et il lèvera le bouclier contre toi;
9 The king will direct the soldiers who operate the (rams/things) to batter the walls, and who will use their iron bars to tear down the towers in the wall.
et il placera ses machines de siège contre tes murailles, et démolira tes tours avec ses pointes de fer.
10 The king will have a huge number of horses, [the stamping of their hooves will result in] the city being covered with dust. [It will be as though] the walls will tremble because of the noise made by the horses, the [supply] wagons, and the chariots when they enter the city where the walls have been broken down.
À cause de la multitude de ses chevaux, leur poussière te couvrira; tes murailles trembleront au bruit de la cavalerie, et des roues et des chars, quand il entrera par tes portes comme on entre dans une ville ouverte par la brèche.
11 The horses will trample all of the [of the city] with their hooves. The soldiers will kill the people with their swords; and they will cause your strong pillars to (collapse/fall to the ground).
Sous le sabot de ses chevaux il foulera toutes tes rues; il tuera ton peuple par l’épée, et les colonnes de ta force tomberont par terre.
12 They will take away all the people’s valuable possessions and steal the things that the merchants sell. They will tear down the walls of the houses and destroy their fine houses. Then they will throw into the sea the stones [from the walls] of those houses and the timber and the rubble.
Et ils feront une proie de tes richesses, et pilleront tes biens, et renverseront tes murs, et abattront tes maisons de plaisance; et ils mettront tes pierres, et ton bois, et ta poussière, au milieu des eaux.
13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
Et je ferai cesser le bruit de tes chansons, et le son de tes harpes ne sera plus entendu.
14 The enemy soldiers will cause the city to become a bare rock and [only] a place where men spread [their fishing] nets. And the city will never be rebuilt. [Those things will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh the Lord, have [that they will happen].’
Et je ferai de toi un rocher nu; tu seras un lieu pour étendre les filets; et tu ne seras plus bâtie; car moi, l’Éternel, j’ai parlé, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.
15 This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say about [the people of] Tyre: ‘When the wounded [people in Tyre] groan and many people are slaughtered and the city is destroyed, [it will surely be as though] [RHQ] the areas along the coast will tremble.
Ainsi dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, à Tyr: Les îles ne trembleront-elles pas au bruit de ta chute, au gémissement de tes blessés à mort, quand le carnage se fera au milieu de toi?
16 Then all the kings [in the cities] along the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and their embroidered clothes. They will be terrified, and they will sit on the ground, trembling. They will be appalled because of what has happened to the city of Tyre.
Et tous les princes de la mer descendront de leurs trônes, et ôteront leurs robes, et dépouilleront leurs vêtements de broderie; ils se revêtiront de frayeur, ils s’assiéront sur la terre, et ils trembleront à tout moment et seront dans la stupeur à cause de toi.
17 Then they will sing a sad song about the city, and they will sing this: “The famous city [APO], in which many [who sailed on] the seas lived, is now destroyed! The people of that city had great power [because they had many ships that sailed] on the seas; they caused all the people who lived near them to be terrified.
Et ils élèveront une complainte sur toi, et te diront: Comment as-tu péri, toi qui étais habitée par ceux qui venaient des mers, ville célèbre qui étais puissante sur la mer, toi et tes habitants qui répandiez votre terreur sur tous ceux qui habitent en elle?
18 Now on the day when that city is destroyed, [it is as though the people in] the areas along the coast tremble and the [the people on the] islands in the sea are terrified because of that city being ruined.”’
Maintenant les îles tremblent au jour de ta chute, et les îles qui sont dans la mer seront troublées à cause de l’issue de ta [voie].
19 This is also what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When I cause the city [of Tyre] to become desolate/empty, like [other] cities in which people no [longer] live, and when I cause the huge waves of the sea to cover it,
Car ainsi dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Quand je ferai de toi une ville déserte, comme sont les villes qui ne sont pas habitées; quand je ferai monter sur toi l’abîme, et que les grandes eaux te couvriront,
20 then I will bring the people of that city down to be with those who have gone down to where the dead people are, people who lived long ago. I will cause them to remain in the place below the earth that is like old/ancient ruins, with those who have gone down to that pit [previously], and they will never return to the earth, to where people are alive.
alors je te ferai descendre avec ceux qui descendent dans la fosse, vers le peuple d’autrefois, et je te ferai habiter dans les lieux bas de la terre, dans les lieux désolés de tout temps, avec ceux qui descendent dans la fosse, afin que tu ne sois plus habitée, et que je mette la gloire dans la terre des vivants.
21 I will cause them to die in a horrible way (OR, people will be very afraid because of what happens to that city), and that will be the end of (them/their lives). People will search for that city but it will no longer exist. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].’”
Je ferai de toi une terreur, et tu ne seras plus; et on te cherchera, et on ne te trouvera plus, à jamais, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.
