Ezekiel 3
1 He said to me, “You human, eat this scroll that is in front of you. Then go and speak to the Israeli people [MTY].”
Et il me dit: "Fils de l’homme, mange ce que tu trouves là, mange ce rouleau et va parler à la maison d’Israël."
2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat it.
J’Ouvris la bouche, et il me fit manger ce rouleau.
3 Then he said to me, “You human, eat the scroll that I have given to you. Fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and in my mouth it tasted as sweet as honey.
Et il me dit: "Fils de l’homme, tu nourriras ton ventre' et rempliras tes entrailles de ce rouleau que je te donne"; je le mangeai et il devint dans ma bouche aussi doux que du miel.
4 Then he said to me, “You human, go to the Israeli people [MTY] and tell them my message.
Il me dit encore: "Fils de l’homme, debout! Va auprès de la maison d’Israël et communique-leur mes paroles.
5 The people to whom I am sending you are not people whose language is very [to learn], a language which you do not understand. I am sending you to your Israeli people [MTY].
Car ce n’est pas comme à un peuple à l’idiome obscur et à la langue lourde que tu es envoyé à la maison d’Israël.
6 I am sending you to people whose language you understand very well. If I were sending you to people whose language was difficult for you to understand, they [be surprised and] pay attention to what [say to them].
Ce n’est pas à des peuples nombreux au langage obscur et à la langue lourde, dont tu ne comprends pas les paroles; si à ceux-là je t’envoyais, eux, ils t’écouteraient.
7 But the Israeli people do not want to listen to you because they do not want to listen to me. [They do not want to listen because] they are all very stubborn [DOU].
Mais la maison d’Israël ne consentira pas à t’écouter, car ils ne veulent pas m’écouter; car la maison d’Israël tout entière a le front rétif et le coeur endurci.
8 But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.
Voici que je rendrai ton visage résolu en face de leurs visages et ton front résolu en face de leur front.
9 I will cause you to be as firm/unbreakable as [SIM] the hardest stone, like flint. So, [even though] they are very rebellious people, do not be afraid of them; do not allow them to cause you to be afraid.”
Comme le diamant plus dur que le roc, je ferai ton front. Tu n’auras pas peur d’eux, tu ne trembleras pas à cause d’eux, parce qu’ils sont une maison de rébellion.
10 He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].
Et il me dit: "Fils de l’homme, toutes les paroles que je te dirai, accueille-les dans ton coeur et écoute-les de tes oreilles.
11 Go to your fellow Israelis who [here after being] (exiled/forced to leave their country), and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and then tell them my message], whether they want to hear it or whether they do not want to hear it.”
Et va-t-en trouver les exilés, les fils de ton peuple, et tu: leur diras: "Ainsi a parlé le Seigneur Dieu," soit qu’ils écoutent, soit qu’ils refusent."
12 [in the vision] the [of God] lifted me up, and I heard behind [someone speaking very loudly], like a loud rumbling sound. [I heard someone say, ] “Praise our glorious Yahweh in the place where he [in heaven]!”
Et l’esprit m’emporta et j’entendis derrière moi le bruit d’un grand tumulte: "Bénie soit la gloire de l’Eternel en son lieu!"
13 [I heard] the sound of the wings of the four living creatures brushing against each other, [I also heard] the sound of the wheels that were beside them. It was a loud rumbling sound.
Et le bruit des ailes des Haïot qui se joignaient l’une l’autre et le bruit des roues vis-à-vis d’elles et le bruit d’un grand tumulte.
14 The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.
Et l’esprit m’éleva en l’air et m’emporta, et je m’en allai, triste, dans l’exaltation de mon esprit, et la main du Seigneur pesait sur moi fortement.
15 I came to the exiles who lived at Tel [town] near the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Then, where they were living, I sat for seven days. I was [about everything that I had seen].
Et j’allai vers les exilés à Tel-Abib, vers ceux qui demeurent près du fleuve de Kebar, et là où ils étaient assis, je demeurai pendant sept jours, affligé, au milieu d’eux.
16 After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:
Il advint au bout de sept jours que la parole du Seigneur me fut adressée en ces termes:
17 “You human, I am appointing [to be like] a watchman [MET] for the Israeli people [MTY]. [So] listen to these messages that I will give you, and tell them those messages to warn them.
"Fils de l’homme, je t’ai placé en sentinelle sur la maison d’Israël, tu écouteras ce que ma bouche dira, et tu les admonesteras de ma part.
18 When I say about some wicked people, ‘They will surely [because of their sins],’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to (save their lives/remain alive), those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
Quand je dirai à l’impie: "Oui, tu mourras!" si tu ne l’as pas averti, si tu n’as pas parlé afin de détourner par tes exhortations le méchant de sa mauvaise voie et de sauver sa vie, le méchant mourra dans son iniquité, mais de son sang, je te demanderai compte.
19 But if you warn the wicked people and they do not turn from all their wicked behavior [DOU], they will die because of their sins, but you will have saved [from my punishing you].
Mais si toi, tu avertis le méchant et qu’il ne revienne pas de son iniquité et de sa voie mauvaise, lui mourra dans son péché, et toi, tu auras la vie sauve.
20 Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen [IDM] to them. [But you must warn them. If you do not warn them], and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they [previously], but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
Et quand le juste se sera détourné de sa vertu pour faire le mal, je mettrai un obstacle devant lui et il mourra parce que tu ne l’auras pas averti, il mourra dans son péché et les actes de vertu qu’il a accomplis ne seront pas mentionnés, mais de son sang, je te demanderai compte.
21 But if you warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will surely remain alive because they [your] warning, and you will have saved [from my punishing you].”
Mais que si toi tu avertis le juste pour que le juste ne pèche pas, et qu’en effet, il ne pèche pas, certes, il vivra, pour avoir été mis en garde, et toi, tu auras la vie sauve."
22 [I felt] Yahweh take control [MTY] of me, and he said to me, “Get up and go [from the city down] to the plain/valley, and there I will speak to you.”
Et la main du Seigneur fut sur moi en ce lieu et il me dit: "Lève-toi, sors vers la plaine et là je te parlerai"
23 So I got up and went down to the valley. And I saw the glory of Yahweh there, like the glory that I had seen along the Kebar River/Canal. And I prostrated myself on the ground.
Et je me levai et je sortis vers la plaine, et voici que là se tenait la gloire de l’Eternel, comme la gloire que j’avais vue sur le fleuve de Kebar, et je tombai sur ma face.
24 Then the [of God] entered me and enabled me to stand up. He said to me, “Go into your house and stay inside it.
Et l’esprit vint en moi et me fit dresser sur mes pieds, et Dieu me parla et me dit: "Viens, enferme-toi dans ta maison.
25 People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable to go out among the people.
Et toi, fils de l’homme, voici qu’ils mettront sur toi des cordes avec lesquelles ils te lieront et tu ne sortiras pas parmi eux.
26 [Even though] they are very rebellious people, I will cause your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, with the result that you will be unable to talk and to rebuke them.
Et j’attacherai ta langue à ton palais, tu deviendras muet, et tu ne leur seras pas un sermonneur, car ils sont une maison de rébellion.
27 [then] when I speak to [again], I will enable you to talk [MTY], and you will say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and you will tell them my message]. Those who are willing to [to what you say] will listen, [many] will refuse to listen, because they are rebellious people [MTY].”
Mais quand je te parlerai, j’ouvrirai ta bouche et tu leur diras: "Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: Ecoute qui veut écouter, refuse d’entendre qui veut refuser! Car ils sont une maison de rébellion!"
