< Psaumes 76 >
1 Au chef de musique. Sur Neguinoth. Psaume d’Asaph. Cantique. Dieu est connu en Juda, son nom est grand en Israël;
People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
2 Et son tabernacle est en Salem, et son domicile en Sion.
His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
3 Là, il a brisé les éclairs de l’arc, le bouclier, et l’épée, et la bataille. (Sélah)
There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.
4 Tu es plus resplendissant, plus magnifique que les montagnes de la rapine.
God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
5 Les forts de cœur ont été dépouillés, ils ont dormi leur sommeil, et aucun des hommes vaillants n’a trouvé ses mains.
Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!
6 Quand tu les as tancés, ô Dieu de Jacob! chars et chevaux se sont endormis profondément.
When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
7 Tu es terrible, toi; et qui est-ce qui subsistera devant toi, dès que ta colère [éclate]?
But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
8 Tu fis entendre des cieux le jugement; la terre en eut peur, et se tint tranquille,
From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
9 Quand tu te levas, ô Dieu, pour le jugement, pour sauver tous les débonnaires de la terre. (Sélah)
when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
10 Car la colère de l’homme te louera; tu te ceindras du reste de la colère.
When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.
11 Vouez, et acquittez [vos vœux] envers l’Éternel, votre Dieu; que tous ceux qui l’entourent apportent des présents au Redoutable.
[So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.
12 Il retranchera l’esprit des princes, il est terrible aux rois de la terre.
He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
