Job 27
1 Job replied again [to his three friends],
Job reprit sa parabole, et dit,
2 “Almighty God has refused to treat me justly/fairly. He has caused me to feel bitter/resentful. But [just as surely] as he lives,
« Dieu est vivant, il m'a enlevé mon droit, le Tout-Puissant, qui a rendu mon âme amère
3 as long as God’s Spirit enables me to breathe,
(car la durée de ma vie est encore en moi, et l'esprit de Dieu est dans mes narines);
4 I will not lie; I [SYN] will not say anything to deceive anyone.
Mes lèvres ne diront pas l'iniquité, et ma langue ne profère pas de mensonges.
5 I will never admit that what you [three] have said is true; until the day that I die, I will insist that I have not done things that are wrong.
Loin de moi l'idée de vous justifier. Jusqu'à ma mort, je ne mettrai pas de côté mon intégrité.
6 I will say that I am innocent, and never (say anything different/change what I say); my conscience will never reproach me as long as I live.
Je tiens fermement à ma justice, je ne la lâcherai pas. Mon cœur ne me reprochera rien tant que je vivrai.
7 “I want my enemies to be [punished] like all wicked [people are punished]; I want [God to punish] those who oppose me like [he punishes all] unrighteous [people].
« Que mon ennemi soit comme les méchants. Que celui qui se lève contre moi soit comme un injuste.
8 When [it is time for] God [to] get rid of godless/wicked people and [to] cause them to die, there is absolutely nothing good [RHQ] that they can confidently expect [to happen to them].
Car quelle est l'espérance de l'impie, quand il est exterminé? quand Dieu lui enlève la vie?
9 When they experience troubles, (will God hear them call [out to him for help]?/God certainly will not hear them call out [to him for help].) [RHQ]
Dieu entendra-t-il son cri quand la détresse s'abattra sur lui?
10 (Will they be happy about what Almighty [God] does?/They certainly will not be happy about what Almighty [God] does.) [RHQ] (Will they [begin to] pray to him frequently?/They certainly will not [begin to] pray to him frequently.) [RHQ] [Certainly not!]
Il se complaira dans le Tout-Puissant, et invoquer Dieu à tout moment?
11 “I will teach you [three] something about the power [MTY] of Almighty God [MTY]; I will reveal what he is thinking.
Je vous enseignerai la main de Dieu. Je ne cacherai pas ce qui est avec le Tout-Puissant.
12 But you [three] have seen for yourselves [what God has done]; so (why are you saying such nonsense?/you should not be saying such nonsense.) [RHQ]
Voici, vous l'avez tous vu vous-mêmes; pourquoi donc es-tu devenu tout à fait vain?
13 “[I will tell you] what Almighty God does to wicked people, the things that he does to people who oppress others.
« C'est la part du méchant avec Dieu, l'héritage des oppresseurs, qu'ils reçoivent du Tout-Puissant.
14 [Even] if they have many children, [many of] those children will die in wars [MTY], and their [other] children will [die because they do] not have enough food to eat.
Si ses enfants se multiplient, c'est pour l'épée. Sa progéniture ne se contentera pas de pain.
15 Their children who are still alive will die from diseases, and their widows will not [even] mourn for them.
Ceux qui restent de lui seront enterrés dans la mort. Ses veuves ne se lamenteront pas.
16 Sometimes [wicked people] accumulate a huge amount [SIM] of silver and pile up clothes like [SIM] those clothes were a pile of clay,
Quand il amasse l'argent comme la poussière, et préparer les vêtements comme l'argile;
17 but [those wicked people will die, and then] righteous people will wear those clothes, and honest/innocent people will get their silver and divide it [among themselves].
il peut la préparer, mais le juste la mettra, et les innocents partageront l'argent.
18 The houses that they build are [as frail/fragile] as [SIM] spider webs, or they are like flimsy huts that watchmen live in [while they guard people’s fields].
Il bâtit sa maison comme la teigne, comme une cabine que le gardien fait.
19 Wicked people are rich when they lie down [at night], but when they wake up [in the morning, they find out that] their money has disappeared.
Il se couche richement, mais il ne le fera plus. Il ouvre les yeux, et il ne l'est pas.
20 “Things that terrify them [PRS] strike them like a flood [SIM]; during the night a whirlwind carries them away.
Des terreurs l'envahissent comme des eaux. Une tempête l'emporte dans la nuit.
21 [It is as though] the wind from the east picks them up and carries them away from their homes, and they disappear.
Le vent d'est l'emporte, et il s'en va. Ça le fait sortir de sa place.
22 That wind strikes them without pitying them while they are running away, trying to escape from its force/power [MTY].
Car il se jette sur lui, et ne l'épargne pas, alors qu'il s'enfuit loin de sa main.
23 That wind [is like someone] clapping his hands [MET] at them [to ridicule them], howling at them wherever they run to.”
Les hommesbattront des mains devant lui, et le sifflera de sa place.
