Ezekiel 35
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Et la parole du Seigneur me vint, disant:
2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
Fils de l'homme, tourne ton visage contre la montagne de Séir, prophétise contre elle, et dis-lui:
3 ‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
Ainsi dit le Seigneur: Voilà que je suis contre toi, montagne de Séir, et j'étendrai sur toi la main, et je ferai de toi un désert, et tu seras dépeuplée.
4 I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Et tes villes seront désertes, et tu seras un désert, et tu sauras que je suis le Seigneur.
5 You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
En punition de ton inimitié perpétuelle, et de ce que tu as tendu des embûches à la maison de Jacob, quand ses ennemis avaient le glaive à la main, au temps de son iniquité, lorsqu'elle était à son comble;
6 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
En punition de cela, par ma vie, dit le Seigneur Maître, puisque tu as péché dans le sang, le sang te poursuivra.
7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
Et je ferai de la montagne de Séir un désert, et elle sera dépeuplée, et j'y détruirai hommes et bétail.
8 I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
Et je remplirai de cadavres tes collines et tes vallées, et dans toutes tes plaines tomberont des morts percés du glaive.
9 I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Je ferai de toi un désert éternel, et tes villes ne seront plus habitées, et tu sauras que je suis le Seigneur.
10 You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
Parce que tu as dit: Deux nations et deux terres seront à moi, et je les aurai pour héritage, et le Seigneur y réside;
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
À cause de cela, par ma vie, dit le Seigneur, je te traiterai selon ta haine, et je me ferai connaître à toi, lorsque je te jugerai.
12 Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
Et tu sauras que je suis le Seigneur. J'ai entendu la voix de tes blasphèmes, quand tu as dit: Les montagnes d'Israël, devenues désertes, nous ont été données pour que nous les dévorions.
13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
Et ta bouche a dit contre moi des paroles superbes, et j'ai tout entendu.
14 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: À la joie de toute la terre, je te rendrai déserte.
15 You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Tu seras un désert, montagne de Séir, et toute l'Idumée sera détruite, et tu sauras que je suis le Seigneur leur Dieu.
