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.
Mais il sortira un rejeton du tronc d'Isaï, et un surgeon croîtra 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.
Et l'Esprit de l'Eternel reposera sur lui, l'Esprit de sapience et d'intelligence, l'Esprit de conseil et de force, l'Esprit de science et de crainte de l'Eternel.
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].
Et il lui fera sentir la crainte de l'Eternel, tellement qu'il ne jugera point sur la vue de ses yeux, et ne reprendra point sur 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 avec justice les chétifs, et il reprendra avec droiture, pour maintenir les débonnaires de la terre, et il frappera la terre par la verge de sa bouche, et fera mourir le méchant par l'esprit de ses lèvres.
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].
Et la justice sera la ceinture de ses reins; et la fidélité, la ceinture de ses flancs.
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 demeurera avec l'agneau, et le léopard gîtera avec le chevreau; le veau, et 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 jeune vache paîtra avec l'ourse, leurs petits gîteront ensemble, et le lion mangera du fourrage 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].
Et l'enfant qui tète s'ébattra sur le trou de l'aspic; et l'enfant qu'on sèvre mettra sa main au trou 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.
On ne nuira et on ne fera aucun dommage [à personne] dans toute la montagne de ma Sainteté; parce que la terre aura été remplie de la connaissance de l'Eternel, comme le fond de la mer des 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.
Car en ce jour-là il arrivera que les nations rechercheront la racine d'Isaï, dressée pour être l'enseigne des peuples; et son séjour [ne] sera [que] gloire.
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.
Et il arrivera en ce jour-là, que le Seigneur mettra encore sa main une seconde fois pour acquérir le résidu de son peuple, qui sera demeuré de reste en Assyrie, en Egypte, à Pathros, à Chus, à Hélam, à Sinhar, à Hamath, et dans les Iles 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].
Et il élèvera l'enseigne parmi les nations, et assemblera les Israélites qui auront été chassés, et recueillera des quatre coins de la terre ceux de Juda qui auront été dispersés.
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.
Et la jalousie d'Ephraïm sera ôtée, et les oppresseurs de Juda seront retranchés; Ephraïm ne sera plus jaloux de Juda, et Juda n'opprimera plus 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.
Mais ils voleront sur le collet aux Philistins vers la mer; ils pilleront ensemble les enfants d'Orient; Edom et Moab [seront] ceux sur lesquels ils jetteront leurs mains, et les enfants de Hammon 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'Eternel exterminera aussi à la façon de l'interdit la Langue de la mer d'Egypte, et lèvera sa main contre le fleuve par la force de son vent, et il le frappera sur les sept rivières, et fera qu'on y marchera 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 un chemin pour le résidu de son peuple qui sera demeuré de reste en Assyrie, comme il y en eut [un] pour Israël au temps qu'il remonta du pays d'Egypte.
