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 sort un rameau de la souche d'Isaï, et un rejeton naît 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 repose sur lui, l'esprit de sagesse et d'intelligence, l'esprit de conseil et de force, l'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 prend son plaisir dans la crainte de l'Éternel, et ne juge point d'après le regard de ses yeux, ni ne décide d'après 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].
et il juge avec justice les petits, et il est un arbitre équitable pour les malheureux de la terre, et il frappe la terre de la verge de sa bouche, et du souffle de ses lèvres donne la mort à l'impie;
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 est 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.
Alors le loup gîtera avec l'agneau, et la panthère se couchera près du chevreau; le veau, le lionceau et le gras bétail vivront ensemble, et un petit garçon sera leur conducteur;
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.
et la génisse et l'ourse brouteront ensemble, leurs petits seront couchés ensemble, et le lion comme le bœuf mangera du fourrage,
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 qu'on allaite se jouera près du trou de la vipère, et celui qu'on sèvre présentera sa main au gîte 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 n'y aura plus ni mal ni corruption sur toute ma sainte montagne, car la connaissance de l'Éternel remplira la terre, comme les eaux couvrent le fond de 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.
Et dans ce même temps, le rejeton d'Isaï sera là comme un étendard pour les peuples; les nations s'adresseront à lui, et sa demeure est 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.
Et dans ce même jour, le Seigneur étendra une seconde fois sa main pour racheter le reste de son peuple, qui sera échappé de l'Assyrie et de l'Egypte, et de Pathros et de l'Ethiopie, et d'Élam et de Sinear, et 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].
Et Il dressera un étendard pour les peuples, et des quatre bouts de la terre Il recueillera ceux d'Israël qui furent expulsés, et Il rassemblera ceux de Juda qui furent 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.
Alors la jalousie d'Éphraïm disparaîtra, et les hommes hostiles de Juda seront exterminés; Éphraïm ne sera plus jaloux de Juda, et Juda ne sera plus hostile à 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.
et ils voleront sur l'épaule des Philistins à l'occident, ensemble ils pilleront les enfants de l'orient, sur Édom et Moab ils porteront la main, et 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].
Alors l'Éternel desséchera le bras de la mer d'Egypte, et agitera sa main sur le Fleuve avec son souffle terrible, et le partagera en sept canaux, afin qu'on le passe avec une chaussure.
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 chaussée pour le reste de mon peuple, qui sera échappé de l'Assyrie, comme il y en eut une pour Israël, au jour de la sortie du pays d'Egypte.
