< 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.
Puis un rameau sortira du tronc d’Isaï, Et un rejeton naîtra de ses racines.
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 l’Éternel reposera sur lui: Esprit de sagesse et d’intelligence, Esprit de conseil et de force, Esprit de connaissance et de crainte de l’Éternel.
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].
Il respirera la crainte de l’Éternel; Il ne jugera point sur l’apparence, Il ne prononcera point sur un ouï-dire.
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 équité, Et il prononcera avec droiture sur les malheureux de la terre; Il frappera la terre de sa parole comme d’une verge, Et du souffle de ses lèvres il fera mourir le méchant.
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 ses flancs, Et la fidélité la ceinture de ses reins.
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 habitera avec l’agneau, Et la panthère se couchera avec le chevreau; Le veau, le lionceau, et le bétail qu’on engraisse, seront 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’ourse auront un même pâturage, Leurs petits un même gîte; Et le lion, comme le bœuf, mangera de la paille.
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].
Le nourrisson s’ébattra sur l’antre de la vipère, Et l’enfant sevré mettra sa main dans la caverne du basilic.
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.
Il ne se fera ni tort ni dommage Sur toute ma montagne sainte; Car la terre sera remplie de la connaissance de l’Éternel, Comme le fond de la mer par les eaux qui le couvrent.
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, le rejeton d’Isaï Sera là comme une bannière pour les peuples; Les nations se tourneront vers lui, Et la gloire sera sa demeure.
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.
Dans ce même temps, le Seigneur étendra une seconde fois sa main, Pour racheter le reste de son peuple, Dispersé en Assyrie et en Égypte, A Pathros et en Éthiopie, A Élam, à Schinear et à Hamath, Et dans les 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 élèvera une bannière pour les nations, Il rassemblera les exilés d’Israël, Et il recueillera les dispersés de Juda, Des quatre extrémités 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’Éphraïm disparaîtra, Et ses ennemis en Juda seront anéantis; Éphraïm ne sera plus jaloux de Juda, Et Juda ne sera plus hostile à Éphraïm.
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 l’épaule des Philistins à l’occident, Ils pilleront ensemble les fils de l’Orient; Édom et Moab seront la proie de leurs mains, Et les fils d’Ammon leur seront assujettis.
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 desséchera la langue de la mer d’Égypte, Et il lèvera sa main sur le fleuve, en soufflant avec violence: Il le partagera en sept canaux, Et on le traversera avec des souliers.
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.
Et il y aura une route pour le reste de son peuple, Qui sera échappé de l’Assyrie, Comme il y en eut une pour Israël, Le jour où il sortit du pays d’Égypte.
