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.
Seigneur Dieu, je vous glorifierai, je louerai votre nom, parce que vous avez fait des choses merveilleuses, selon votre conseil antique, fondé sur la vérité. Ainsi soit-il.
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.
Vous avez réduit des villes en des monceaux de ruines, des villes fortes, dont les fondations ne devaient point faillir; la ville des impies ne sera point réédifiée dans l'avenir.
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 un peuple pauvre vous bénira, et les villes des hommes vous béniront.
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 vous êtes le protecteur de toute humble cité, vous êtes l'abri du pauvre en son indigence; vous les sauverez des méchants, vous, abri de ceux qui ont soif, vous, rafraîchissement des opprimés.
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.
Nous étions défaillants dans Sion, comme des hommes consumés par la soif, à cause des impies auxquels vous nous avez livrés.
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 le Seigneur Dieu des armées préparera un festin pour tous les Gentils; sur cette montagne ils boiront la joie, en buvant le vin.
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.
Ils se parfumeront de myrrhe sur cette montagne. Donnez toutes ces choses aux Gentils; car sur les Gentils repose le conseil de Dieu.
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!
La mort, ayant prévalu, dévorera les hommes, et de nouveau le Seigneur sèchera les larmes de tous les visages; il effacera sur toute la terre l'opprobre de son peuple; car la bouche du Seigneur 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 en ce jour on dira: Voici notre Dieu, en qui nous espérons, il nous sauvera. Voici le Seigneur, c'est lui que nous attendions; et nous avons tressailli d'allégresse, et nous nous réjouirons en Celui qui est notre salut.
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].
Dieu donnera le repos à cette montagne, et il foulera Moab à ses pieds, comme l'aire sous les chars.
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 le Seigneur étendra sur lui ses mains, comme quand il abat un homme pour le perdre; ainsi il abattra sa superbe, en étendant ses mains sur lui.
12 The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
Et il humiliera la hauteur des remparts qui étaient leur refuge; et il les renversera au milieu du sol.
