Psalms 84
1 Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
Pour le chef musicien. Sur un instrument de Gath. Un psaume par les fils de Korah. Que tes demeures sont belles! Yahvé des Armées!
2 I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
Mon âme soupire, et même s'évanouit, pour les parvis de l'Éternel. Mon cœur et ma chair crient pour le Dieu vivant.
3 Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
Oui, le moineau a trouvé une maison, et l'hirondelle un nid pour elle, où elle pourra avoir ses petits, près de vos autels, Yahvé des armées, mon roi et mon Dieu.
4 (Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
Heureux ceux qui habitent dans ta maison. Ils te louent toujours. (Selah)
5 Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
Heureux ceux qui ont leur force en toi, qui ont choisi de faire un pèlerinage.
6 While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
En passant par la vallée des pleurs, ils en font un lieu de sources. Oui, la pluie d'automne la couvre de bénédictions.
7 [As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
Ils vont de force en force. Chacun d'entre eux comparaît devant Dieu à Sion.
8 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
Yahvé, Dieu des armées, écoute ma prière. Écoute, Dieu de Jacob. (Selah)
9 God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
Voici Dieu, notre bouclier, regarde le visage de ton oint.
10 [For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
Car un jour dans tes tribunaux vaut mieux que mille. Je préfère être un portier dans la maison de mon Dieu, que d'habiter dans les tentes de la méchanceté.
11 Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
Car Yahvé Dieu est un soleil et un bouclier. Yahvé donnera la grâce et la gloire. Il ne refuse aucun bien à ceux qui marchent sans reproche.
12 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
Yahvé des Armées, Heureux l'homme qui a confiance en toi.
