Isaiah 62
1 Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
A cause de Sion, je ne me tairai point, et à cause de Jérusalem je ne prendrai point de repos, jusqu'à ce que sa justice se lève comme l'aurore, et que son salut brille comme un flambeau.
2 [Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
Les nations verront ta justice, et tous les rois ta gloire, et l'on t'appellera d'un nouveau nom, que la bouche de Yahweh choisira.
3 [It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
Tu seras une couronne d'honneur dans la main de Yahweh, une tiare royale dans la main de notre Dieu.
4 Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
On ne te nommera plus Délaissée, et on ne nommera plus ta terre Désolation. Mais on t'appellera Mon-plaisir-en-elle, et ta terre Epousée. Car Yahweh mettra son plaisir en toi, et ta terre aura un époux.
5 You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
Comme un jeune homme épouse une vierge, tes fils t'épouseront; et comme la fiancée fait la joie du fiancé, ainsi tu seras la joie de ton Dieu.
6 [You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
Sur tes murs, Jérusalem, j'ai placé des sentinelles; jamais ni le jour ni la nuit, elles ne se tairont. O vous qui faites souvenir Yahweh, ne prenez point de repos,
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
et ne lui laissez point de repos, jusqu'à ce qu'il rétablisse Jérusalem, et qu'il fasse d'elle la louange de la terre.
8 Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
Yahweh l'a juré par sa droite, et par son bras puissant: Je ne donnerai plus ton froment en nourriture à tes ennemis, et les fils de l'étranger ne boiront plus ton vin, fruit de tes labeurs.
9 You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
Mais ceux qui auront fait la moisson la mangeront, et ils loueront Yahweh; et ceux qui auront fait la vendange la boiront, dans les parvis de mon sanctuaire.
10 Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
Passez, passez par les portes; aplanissez le chemin du peuple. Frayez, frayez la route, ôtez-en les pierres; élevez un étendard sur les peuples.
11 This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
Voici ce que Yahweh a publié, jusqu'aux extrémités de la terre: Dites à la fille de Sion: " Voici que ton Sauveur vient; voici que sa récompense est avec lui, et ses rétributions le précèdent. "
12 They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
Et on les appellera Peuple saint, Rachetés de Yahweh; et toi, on t'appellera Recherchée, Ville-non-délaissée.
