Isaiah 11
1 [Like] [MET] a [new] shoot [often] grows from the stump [of a tree], there will be a descendant of King David who will be a new king.
Un rameau sortira de la souche de Jessé, et un rameau issu de ses racines portera du fruit.
2 The Spirit of Yahweh will always be with him. The Spirit will enable him to be wise and to understand [much about many things]. The Spirit will enable him to decide what is good to do, and will enable him to be very powerful. The Spirit will enable him to know Yahweh and to revere him.
L'Esprit de Yahvé reposera sur lui: l'esprit de sagesse et de compréhension, l'esprit de conseil et de puissance, l'esprit de la connaissance et de la crainte de Yahvé.
3 He will be glad to obey Yahweh. He will not decide [whether someone is righteous or not only] by seeing what that person looks like, or by listening to [what others say about that person].
Son plaisir sera dans la crainte de Yahvé. Il ne jugera pas par la vue de ses yeux, ni décider par l'ouïe de ses oreilles;
4 He will judge [the cases of] needy people fairly; and he will act justly toward poor people. He will punish evil people as a result of what he decides [MTY]; he will get rid of wicked people because of [MTY] [their behavior].
mais il jugera les pauvres avec justice, et décide avec équité pour les humbles de la terre. Il frappera la terre avec le bâton de sa bouche; et du souffle de ses lèvres, il fera mourir les méchants.
5 He will always act righteously; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a belt [around his waist]. He will always speak what is true; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a sash [around his waist].
La justice sera la ceinture de sa taille, et la fidélité la ceinture autour de sa taille.
6 [When he becomes king], wolves and lambs will live together [peacefully]; leopards, [instead of killing] baby goats, will lie down with them. [Similarly], calves and lions will eat food together; and a young child will take care of them.
Le loup vivra avec l'agneau, et le léopard se couchera avec le chevreau, le veau, le lionceau et le veau gras ensemble; et un petit enfant les conduira.
7 Cows and bears will eat [together]; bear cubs and calves will lie down together. Lions will [not eat other animals]; [instead], they will eat hay like cows do.
La vache et l'ours vont paître. Leurs petits se coucheront ensemble. Le lion mangera de la paille comme le bœuf.
8 Babies will play [safely] near the holes where cobra snakes [live]; small children will [even] put their hands into nests of poisonous snakes, [and the snakes will not harm them].
L'enfant allaitant jouera près du trou d'un cobra, et l'enfant sevré mettra sa main sur le repaire de la vipère.
9 No creatures will harm or kill other creatures on [Zion Hill], my holy hill; and the earth will [be filled with people who] know Yahweh like [SIM] the seas are full of water.
Ils ne feront ni mal ni destruction sur toute ma montagne sainte; car la terre sera remplie de la connaissance de Yahvé, comme les eaux couvrent la mer.
10 At that time, a descendant of King David will [hold up] a flag to signal to the people of all people-groups [that they should gather around him]; they will come to him to get his advice, and the place where he lives will be glorious.
En ce jour-là, les nations chercheront le rejeton d'Isaï, qui sert de bannière aux peuples, et sa demeure sera glorieuse.
11 At that time, Yahweh will (reach out his hand/use his power) as he did long ago; he will enable those who had been (exiled from/forced to leave) Israel to return home, from Assyria, from northern Egypt, from southern Egypt, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath, and from all the distant countries near the sea.
En ce jour-là, l'Éternel lèvera sa main une seconde fois pour récupérer ce qui reste de son peuple, de l'Assyrie, de l'Égypte, de Pathros, de Cush, d'Élam, de Shinar, de Hamath et des îles de la mer.
12 Yahweh will raise his flag among [all] the people-groups, and he will gather together the people of Israel who had been exiled [long ago]. He will gather from very distant places [IDM] on the earth the people of Judah who [(had been scattered to/are living in) those places].
Il dressera une bannière pour les nations, il rassemblera les exilés d'Israël, il réunira les dispersés de Juda des quatre coins de la terre.
13 [Then], the people of Israel and the people of Judah will not be jealous of each other [any longer], and they will no [longer] be enemies of each other.
La jalousie d'Ephraïm disparaîtra, et ceux qui persécutent Juda seront exterminés. Ephraïm n'enviera pas Juda, et Juda ne persécutera pas Ephraïm.
14 Their [armies] will [join together to] attack the people of Philistia to the west. And together they will attack nations to the east; they will [defeat those nations and] take away all their valuable possessions. They will capture [the areas of] Edom and Moab, and the people of the Ammon people-group will be controlled/ruled by the people of Israel and Judah.
Ils voleront sur les épaules des Philistins, à l'ouest. Ensemble, ils pilleront les enfants de l'Orient. Ils étendront leur pouvoir sur Édom et Moab, et les enfants d'Ammon leur obéiront.
15 Yahweh will make a dry road through the sea near Egypt. And [it will be as though] he will wave his hand over the [Euphrates] River and send a strong wind to cause it to divide into seven streams, with the result that people will be able to walk across [those streams].
L'Éternel détruira la langue de la mer d'Égypte, et de son vent brûlant il agitera sa main sur le fleuve, il le fendra en sept ruisseaux, et il fera marcher les hommes en sandales.
16 And because he will make a highway for his people who are living in Assyria, they will be able to return [to their own land], just like [long ago] he made a path for [the people of] Israel [so that they could go through the water] when they left Egypt.
Il y aura une route pour ce qui restera de son peuple en Assyrie, comme il y en eut une pour Israël le jour où il sortit du pays d'Égypte.
