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.
Et il sortira un rejeton de la racine de Jessé, et une fleur s’élèvera de sa racine,
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 du Seigneur reposera sur lui; l’esprit de sagesse et d’intelligence, l’esprit de conseil et de force, l’esprit de science et de piété.
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].
L’esprit de crainte du Seigneur le remplira. Il ne jugera pas d’après ce qu’auront vu les yeux, et il ne condamnera pas d’après ce qu’auront ouï les 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 dans la justice, et il se prononcera avec équité pour les hommes paisibles de la terre; et il frappera la terre de la verge de sa bouche, et du souffle de ses lèvres il tuera 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 sera la ceinture de ses reins, et la fidélité le ceinturon 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 se couchera près du chevreau; le jeune taureau, et le Mon, et la brebis demeureront 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.
Le veau et l’ours iront aux mêmes pâturages; leurs petits se reposeront ensemble; le lion comme le bœuf mangera 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].
Et l’enfant à la mamelle se jouera sur le trou de l’aspic; et celui qui viendra d’être sevré portera 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.
Ils ne nuiront pas, et ils ne tueront pas sur toute ma montagne sainte; parce que la terre est remplie de la connaissance du Seigneur, comme les eaux qui 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 viendra la racine de Jessé qui est comme l’étendard des peuples; c’est à lui que les nations adresseront leurs prières, et son sépulcre sera glorieux.
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 étendra une seconde fois sa main pour posséder le reste de son peuple, qui aura échappé aux Assyriens, et à l’Egypte, et à Phétros, et à l’Ethiopie, et à Elam et à Sennaar, et à Emath, et aux 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 élèvera son étendard parmi les nations, il réunira les fugitifs d’Israël, et les dispersés de Juda, il les rassemblera 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.
Et la jalousie d’Ephraïm sera détruite, et les ennemis de Juda périront; Ephraïm n’enviera pas Juda, et Juda ne combattra pas contre 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 les épaules des Philistins par la mer; ils pilleront ensemble les fils de l’Orient. L’Idumée et Moab seront la première capture de leur main, et les fils 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].
Et le Seigneur mettra à sec la langue de la mer d’Égypte, et il lèvera sa main sur le fleuve, il l’agitera par la force de son souffle, et il le frappera dans ses sept ruisseaux, en sorte qu’on le passera tout chaussé.
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 voie pour le reste de mon peuple qui aura échappé aux Assyriens, comme il y en eut une pour Israël, au jour auquel il monta de la terre d’Egypte.
