Psalms 72
1 A psalm written by Solomon. O God, enable [me, ] the king [whom you appointed in Israel], to rule justly. Show/Teach me how to judge matters fairly
Pour Salomon. Ô Dieu, donne tes jugements au Roi, et ta justice au fils du Roi.
2 in order that I will judge your people fairly, that I will govern your oppressed people justly.
Qu'il juge justement ton peuple, et équitablement ceux des tiens qui seront affligés.
3 I desire that [all over the country—even] on the hills and mountains [DOU]— people will live peacefully and righteously.
Que les montagnes portent la paix pour le peuple, et que les coteaux [la portent] en justice.
4 Help [me], your king, to defend the poor people and to rescue needy people and to defeat those who oppress them.
Qu'il fasse droit aux affligés d'entre le peuple; qu'il délivre les enfants du misérable, et qu'il froisse l'oppresseur!
5 I desire that your people will revere you as long as the moon shines, [forever].
Ils te craindront tant que le soleil et la lune dureront, dans tous les âges.
6 I desire that my rule will [be enjoyed by the people] [SIM] like [they enjoy] rain on growing crops, like [they enjoy] showers that fall on the land.
Il descendra comme la pluie sur le regain, et comme la même pluie sur l'herbe fauchée de la terre.
7 I hope/desire that people will live righteously during the years that I rule, and that my people will live peacefully and prosperously as long as the moon shines.
En son temps le juste fleurira, et il y aura abondance de paix, jusqu'à ce qu'il n'y ait plus de lune.
8 I hope/desire that the kings [of Israel] will rule [the people] in all the area from one sea [in the east] to another [in the west], and from the [Euphrates] River to the most remote/distant places on earth.
Même il dominera depuis une mer jusqu'à l'autre, et depuis le fleuve jusqu'aux bouts de la terre.
9 I hope/desire that those who live in the desert will bow down before them, and that their enemies will throw themselves on the ground [in submission] to them.
Les habitants des déserts se courberont devant lui, et ses ennemis lécheront la poudre.
10 I hope/desire that the kings of Spain and of the islands [in the Mediterranean Sea] will bring (tribute money/taxes) to the kings [of Israel], and that the kings of Sheba [to the south] and of Seba [to the southwest] will bring them gifts.
Les Rois de Tarsis et des Iles lui présenteront des dons; les Rois de Scéba et de Séba lui apporteront des présents.
11 I hope/desire that all the [other] kings [in the world] will bow before the kings [of Israel], and that [people of] all nations will serve them.
Tous les Rois aussi se prosterneront devant lui, toutes les nations le serviront.
12 They will rescue poor people when they (cry out/plead) for help, and help those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.
Car il délivrera le misérable criant à [lui], et l'affligé, et celui qui n'a personne qui l'aide.
13 They will pity those who are weak and needy; he saves the people’s lives.
Il aura compassion du pauvre et du misérable, et il sauvera les âmes des misérables.
14 Our kings will rescue the people from being oppressed and from being treated cruelly, [because] (their lives/they) [MTY] are precious to our kings.
Il garantira leur âme de la fraude et de la violence, et leur sang sera précieux devant ses yeux.
15 I hope/desire that our kings will live a long time! I hope/desire that they will be given gold from Sheba. I desire that people will always pray for our kings and praise them all the time, [every day].
Il vivra donc, et on lui donnera de l'or de Séba, et on fera des prières pour lui continuellement; et on le bénira chaque jour.
16 I hope/desire that the fields will produce plenty of grain [everywhere, even] on the tops of the hills in the land where they rule, like the grain that grows [on the hills] in Lebanon. I hope/desire that the cities [in Israel] will be full of people like the fields are full of grass.
Une poignée de froment étant semée dans la terre, au sommet des montagnes, son fruit mènera du bruit comme [les arbres] du Liban; et [les hommes] fleuriront par les villes, comme l'herbe de la terre.
17 I desire that the names of our kings will never be forgotten. I hope/desire that people will remember them as long as the sun shines. I hope/desire that people of all nations will ask (God to bless them/that they will be blessed by God) just like he has blessed the kings [of Israel].
Sa renommée durera à toujours; sa renommée ira de père en fils tant que le soleil durera; et on se bénira en lui; toutes les nations le publieront bien-heureux.
18 Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship]; he is the only one who does wonderful things.
Béni soit l'Eternel Dieu, le Dieu d'Israël, qui seul fait des choses merveilleuses!
19 Praise him forever! I desire that (his glory will fill the whole world/people all over the world may see that he is very great) [MTY]! Amen! May it be so!
Béni soit aussi éternellement le Nom de sa gloire, et que toute la terre soit remplie de sa gloire. Amen! oui Amen!
20 That is the end of this group of prayers/songs written by David, the son of Jesse.
[Ici] finissent les prières de David, fils d'Isaï.
