Isaïe 11
1 Et il sortira un rejeton du tronc d’Isaï, et une branche de ses racines fructifiera;
[Like] [MET] a [new] shoot [often] grows from the stump [of a tree], there will be a descendant of King David who will be a new king.
2 et l’Esprit de l’Éternel reposera sur lui, l’esprit de sagesse et d’intelligence, l’esprit de conseil et de force, l’esprit de connaissance et de crainte de l’Éternel.
The Spirit of Yahweh will always be with him. The Spirit will enable him to be wise and to understand [much about many things]. The Spirit will enable him to decide what is good to do, and will enable him to be very powerful. The Spirit will enable him to know Yahweh and to revere him.
3 Et son plaisir sera la crainte de l’Éternel; et il ne jugera pas d’après la vue de ses yeux, et ne reprendra pas selon l’ouïe de ses oreilles;
He will be glad to obey Yahweh. He will not decide [whether someone is righteous or not only] by seeing what that person looks like, or by listening to [what others say about that person].
4 mais il jugera avec justice les misérables, et reprendra avec droiture les débonnaires de la terre; et il frappera la terre avec la verge de sa bouche, et par le souffle de ses lèvres il fera mourir le méchant.
He will judge [the cases of] needy people fairly; and he will act justly toward poor people. He will punish evil people as a result of what he decides [MTY]; he will get rid of wicked people because of [MTY] [their behavior].
5 Et la justice sera la ceinture de ses reins, et la fidélité, la ceinture de ses flancs.
He will always act righteously; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a belt [around his waist]. He will always speak what is true; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a sash [around his waist].
6 Et le loup habitera avec l’agneau, et le léopard couchera avec le chevreau; et le veau et le jeune lion, et la bête grasse, seront ensemble, et un petit enfant les conduira.
[When he becomes king], wolves and lambs will live together [peacefully]; leopards, [instead of killing] baby goats, will lie down with them. [Similarly], calves and lions will eat food together; and a young child will take care of them.
7 La vache paîtra avec l’ourse, leurs petits coucheront l’un près de l’autre, et le lion mangera de la paille comme le bœuf.
Cows and bears will eat [together]; bear cubs and calves will lie down together. Lions will [not eat other animals]; [instead], they will eat hay like cows do.
8 Le nourrisson s’ébattra sur le trou de l’aspic, et l’enfant sevré étendra sa main sur l’antre de la vipère.
Babies will play [safely] near the holes where cobra snakes [live]; small children will [even] put their hands into nests of poisonous snakes, [and the snakes will not harm them].
9 On ne fera pas de tort, et on ne détruira pas, dans toute ma sainte montagne; car la terre sera pleine de la connaissance de l’Éternel, comme les eaux couvrent [le fond de] la mer.
No creatures will harm or kill other creatures on [Zion Hill], my holy hill; and the earth will [be filled with people who] know Yahweh like [SIM] the seas are full of water.
10 Et, en ce jour-là, il y aura une racine d’Isaï, se tenant là comme une bannière des peuples: les nations la rechercheront, et son repos sera gloire.
At that time, a descendant of King David will [hold up] a flag to signal to the people of all people-groups [that they should gather around him]; they will come to him to get his advice, and the place where he lives will be glorious.
11 Et il arrivera, en ce jour-là, que le Seigneur mettra sa main encore une seconde fois pour acquérir le résidu de son peuple, qui sera demeuré de reste, de l’Assyrie, et de l’Égypte, et de Pathros, et de Cush, et d’Élam, et de Shinhar, et de Hamath, et des îles de la mer.
At that time, Yahweh will (reach out his hand/use his power) as he did long ago; he will enable those who had been (exiled from/forced to leave) Israel to return home, from Assyria, from northern Egypt, from southern Egypt, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath, and from all the distant countries near the sea.
12 Et il élèvera un étendard devant les nations, et rassemblera les exilés d’Israël, et réunira les dispersés de Juda des quatre bouts de la terre.
Yahweh will raise his flag among [all] the people-groups, and he will gather together the people of Israel who had been exiled [long ago]. He will gather from very distant places [IDM] on the earth the people of Judah who [(had been scattered to/are living in) those places].
13 Et la jalousie d’Éphraïm s’en ira, et les adversaires de Juda seront retranchés; Éphraïm ne sera pas rempli d’envie contre Juda, et Juda ne sera pas l’adversaire d’Éphraïm;
[Then], the people of Israel and the people of Judah will not be jealous of each other [any longer], and they will no [longer] be enemies of each other.
14 mais ils voleront sur l’épaule des Philistins vers l’ouest, ils pilleront ensemble les fils de l’orient: Édom et Moab seront la proie de leurs mains, et les fils d’Ammon leur obéiront.
Their [armies] will [join together to] attack the people of Philistia to the west. And together they will attack nations to the east; they will [defeat those nations and] take away all their valuable possessions. They will capture [the areas of] Edom and Moab, and the people of the Ammon people-group will be controlled/ruled by the people of Israel and Judah.
15 Et l’Éternel desséchera la langue de la mer d’Égypte; et il secouera sa main sur le fleuve dans l’impétuosité de son vent, et le frappera pour [qu’il devienne] sept ruisseaux, et [y] fera marcher avec des souliers.
Yahweh will make a dry road through the sea near Egypt. And [it will be as though] he will wave his hand over the [Euphrates] River and send a strong wind to cause it to divide into seven streams, with the result that people will be able to walk across [those streams].
16 Et il y aura un chemin battu pour le résidu de son peuple, qui sera demeuré de reste, de l’Assyrie, selon ce qui est arrivé à Israël au jour où il est monté du pays d’Égypte.
And because he will make a highway for his people who are living in Assyria, they will be able to return [to their own land], just like [long ago] he made a path for [the people of] Israel [so that they could go through the water] when they left Egypt.
