Ezekiel 32
1 Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
La douzième année, le premier jour du douzième mois, la parole de l'Éternel me fut adressée, en ces termes:
2 “You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
Fils de l'homme, prononce une complainte sur Pharaon, roi d'Égypte, et dis-lui: Tu semblais un lionceau parmi les nations; pareil au crocodile dans les mers, tu t'élançais dans tes fleuves; avec tes pieds tu troublais les eaux, et tu remplissais de boue leurs flots.
3 But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
Ainsi a dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel: J'étendrai mes filets sur toi, par une multitude nombreuse de peuples, qui te tireront dans mes filets.
4 They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
Je t'abandonnerai sur la terre, et te jetterai à la surface des champs; je ferai reposer sur toi tous les oiseaux des cieux, et je rassasierai de toi les bêtes de toute la terre.
5 I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
Je mettrai ta chair sur les montagnes, et de tes débris je remplirai les vallées.
6 I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
J'abreuverai de ton sang la terre où tu nages, jusqu'aux montagnes, et les ravins seront remplis de toi.
7 When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
Quand je t'éteindrai, je couvrirai les cieux, et j'obscurcirai leurs étoiles; je couvrirai le soleil de nuages, et la lune ne donnera plus sa lumière.
8 I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
A cause de toi, j'obscurcirai tous les luminaires qui éclairent les cieux, et je répandrai les ténèbres sur ton pays, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel.
9 And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
Je ferai frémir le cœur de beaucoup de peuples, quand j'annoncerai ta ruine parmi les nations, dans des pays que tu n'as point connus.
10 I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
Je remplirai de stupeur beaucoup de peuples à ton sujet, et leurs rois seront éperdus à cause de toi, quand je brandirai devant eux mon épée. Ils trembleront à tout instant, chacun pour sa vie, au jour de ta ruine.
11 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
Car ainsi a dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel: L'épée du roi de Babylone fondra sur toi;
12 I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
J'abattrai ta multitude par l'épée des hommes forts, tous les plus terribles d'entre les nations; ils détruiront l'orgueil de l'Égypte, et toute sa multitude sera anéantie.
13 I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
Je ferai périr tout son bétail près des grandes eaux; nul pied d'homme ne les troublera plus, aucun sabot de bête ne les troublera plus.
14 Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
Alors j'apaiserai ses eaux, et je ferai couler ses fleuves comme l'huile, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel.
15 When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
Quand je réduirai le pays d'Égypte en désolation, et que le pays sera dénué de tout ce dont il était rempli, quand je frapperai tous ses habitants, ils sauront que je suis l'Éternel.
16 That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
Telle est la complainte; les filles des nations la chanteront d'une voix plaintive; elles la chanteront pour plaindre l'Égypte et toute sa multitude, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel.
17 On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
La douzième année, le quinzième jour du mois, la parole de l'Éternel me fut adressée, en ces termes:
18 “You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
Fils de l'homme, fais une lamentation sur la multitude de l'Égypte. Précipite-la, elle et les filles des nations puissantes, dans les profondeurs de la terre, avec ceux qui descendent dans la fosse!
19 Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
Vaux-tu mieux que d'autres? Descends, et couche-toi parmi les incirconcis!
20 [Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
Ils tomberont au milieu de ceux que l'épée a blessés à mort. L'épée est tirée. Entraînez-la avec toute sa multitude
21 In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
Les plus vaillants héros lui parlent au sein du séjour des morts, avec ceux qui furent ses auxiliaires; ils sont descendus et couchés, les incirconcis que l'épée blessa à mort. (Sheol h7585)
22 [The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Là est Assur et toute sa multitude, et autour de lui ses tombeaux; tous ont été blessés, et sont tombés par l'épée.
23 The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
Ses tombeaux se trouvent dans les profondeurs de la fosse, et sa multitude est rangée à l'entour; tous ont été blessés à mort, et sont tombés par l'épée, eux qui répandaient la terreur dans la terre des vivants.
24 A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
Là est Élam et toute sa multitude, à l'entour de son tombeau. Tous sont blessés à mort, et sont tombés par l'épée; ils sont descendus incirconcis dans les profondeurs de la terre, eux qui répandaient la terreur sur la terre des vivants; ils portent leur ignominie avec ceux qui descendent dans la fosse.
25 They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
Au milieu des blessés à mort, on a mis sa couche, avec toute sa multitude; tout autour, ses tombeaux. Tous ces incirconcis sont blessés à mort par l'épée, car ils répandaient la terreur dans la terre des vivants; ils portent leur ignominie avec ceux qui descendent dans la fosse; on les a mis parmi les blessés à mort.
26 [Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
Là sont Méshec, Tubal et toute leur multitude: tout autour, leurs tombeaux; tous ces incirconcis sont blessés à mort par l'épée, car ils répandaient la terreur dans la terre des vivants.
27 They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
Mais ils ne sont point couchés avec les vaillants hommes, tombés d'entre les incirconcis, qui sont descendus au Sépulcre avec leurs armes de guerre, et sous la tête desquels on a mis leurs épées. Leurs iniquités couvrent leurs ossements, car ils furent la terreur des hommes vaillants sur la terre des vivants. (Sheol h7585)
28 You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Toi aussi, tu seras brisé au milieu des incirconcis, et tu seras couché avec ceux que l'épée a blessés à mort.
29 People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
Là est Édom, ses rois et ses princes, qui malgré leur vaillance ont été mis au nombre de ceux que l'épée a blessés à mort; ils sont couchés avec les incirconcis, et avec ceux qui descendent dans la fosse.
30 All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
Là sont tous les princes du nord, et tous les Sidoniens, qui sont descendus avec les blessés à mort, malgré la terreur qu'inspirait leur vaillance; ils sont confus, étendus, ces incirconcis, avec ceux que l'épée a blessés à mort, et ils portent leur ignominie, avec ceux qui descendent dans la fosse.
31 The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Pharaon les verra, et se consolera de toute sa multitude; Pharaon et toute son armée seront blessés à mort par l'épée, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel;
32 While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
Car je répandrai ma terreur sur la terre des vivants. Pharaon et toute sa multitude seront couchés au milieu des incirconcis, avec ceux que l'épée a blessés à mort, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel.
