Isaiah 25
1 Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
Éternel, tu es mon Dieu; je t’exalterai, je célébrerai ton nom, car tu as accompli des choses merveilleuses, des conseils [qui datent] de loin, qui sont fidélité [et] vérité.
2 [Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
Car tu as fait d’une ville un monceau de pierres; d’une cité fortifiée, des ruines; d’un palais d’étrangers, qu’il ne soit plus une ville: il ne sera jamais rebâti.
3 Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
C’est pourquoi le peuple fort te glorifiera; la cité des nations terribles te craindra.
4 Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
Car tu as été au misérable un lieu fort, un lieu fort au pauvre dans sa détresse, un abri contre l’orage, une ombre contre la chaleur; car la tempête des terribles [a été] comme une pluie d’orage [contre] un mur.
5 and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
Tu as rabaissé le bruit tumultueux des étrangers, comme la chaleur en un lieu aride; [et] comme la chaleur par l’ombre d’un nuage, le chant des terribles a été apaisé.
6 Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
Et l’Éternel des armées fera, en cette montagne, à tous les peuples un festin de choses grasses, un festin de vins vieux, de choses grasses moelleuses, de vins vieux bien épurés.
7 [People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
Et il détruira en cette montagne la face du voile qui couvre tous les peuples, et la couverture qui est étendue sur toutes les nations.
8 He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
Il engloutira la mort en victoire; et le Seigneur, l’Éternel, essuiera les larmes de dessus tout visage, et il ôtera l’opprobre de son peuple de dessus toute la terre; car l’Éternel a parlé.
9 At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
Et il sera dit en ce jour-là: Voici, c’est ici notre Dieu; nous l’avons attendu, et il nous sauvera; c’est ici l’Éternel, nous l’avons attendu. Égayons-nous et réjouissons-nous dans sa délivrance;
10 Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
car la main de l’Éternel reposera en cette montagne, et Moab sera foulé aux pieds sous lui comme la paille est foulée au fumier;
11 Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
et il étendra ses mains au milieu de Moab comme celui qui nage les étend pour nager, et il abaissera son orgueil ainsi que les artifices de ses mains.
12 The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
Et la forteresse des hautes défenses de tes murs, il l’abattra, il l’abaissera, il la mettra par terre jusque dans la poussière.
