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 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.
Et l'Esprit de l'Éternel reposera sur lui, l'Esprit de sagesse et d'intelligence, l'Esprit de conseil et de force, l'Esprit de science 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 prendra son plaisir dans la crainte de l'Éternel; tellement qu'il ne jugera pas d'après l'apparence, et ne décidera pas 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 avec justice les petits, et décidera avec droiture pour les malheureux du pays. Il frappera la terre de sa parole, comme d'une verge, et fera mourir le méchant par le souffle 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].
La justice sera la ceinture de ses reins, et la vérité sera 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 habitera avec l'agneau, et le léopard gîtera avec le chevreau; le veau, le lion et le bétail qu'on engraisse, seront ensemble, et un 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 génisse 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].
L'enfant qu'on allaite s'ébattra près du trou de l'aspic, et l'enfant sevré étendra la main sur le trou 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.
On ne fera point de mal, et on ne détruira point, sur toute ma montagne sainte; car la terre sera remplie de la connaissance de l'Éternel, 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.
En ce jour-là, le rejeton d'Isaï sera comme un étendard dressé pour les peuples; les nations se tourneront vers lui, 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, le Seigneur étendra encore une fois la main pour racheter les restes de son peuple, qui seront réchappés de l'Assyrie, de l'Égypte, de Pathros, de Cush, d'Élam, de Shinear, 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 élèvera un étendard vers les nations; il recueillera les exilés d'Israël, et rassemblera les dispersés de Juda, des quatre bouts 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.
Alors la jalousie d'Éphraïm disparaîtra, et les oppresseurs seront retranchés de Juda; Éphraïm ne sera plus jaloux de Juda, et Juda n'opprimera plus 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.
Mais ils voleront sur l'épaule des Philistins, vers la mer; ensemble ils pilleront les enfants de l'Orient; ils étendront leur main sur Édom et Moab; les enfants 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].
Et l'Éternel mettra à sec le bras de mer de l'Égypte; il lèvera sa main sur le fleuve, avec un souffle terrible; il le partagera en sept ruisseaux, et fera qu'on y passe avec des chaussures.
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 réchappé de l'Assyrie, comme il y en eut une pour Israël, lorsqu'il remonta du pays d'Egypte.
