Ézéchiel 32
1 Il advint, dans la douzième année, le premier jour du douzième mois, que la parole de l’Eternel me fut adressée en ces termes:
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 "Fils de l’homme, entonne une complainte sur Pharaon, roi d’Egypte, et dis-lui: Lion des nations, tu es perdu! Et pourtant tu étais comme le crocodile dans les mers, tu t’élançais avec tes fleuves, tu troublais les eaux de tes pieds et tu en agitais les flots."
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
3 Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: "J’Étendrai sur toi mon filet avec le concours de peuples nombreux qui te haleront dans ma nasse.
But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
4 Et je te laisserai là sur le sol, je te lancerai sur la surface des champs, je ferai s’abattre sur toi tous les oiseaux du ciel et je rassasierai de toi toutes les bêtes de la terre.
They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
5 J’Exposerai ta chair sur les montagnes, et je remplirai les vallées de ton cadavre.
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
6 Le pays de tes ébats, je l’arroserai de ton sang jusqu’aux montagnes, et les ravins seront pleins de toi.
I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7 Par suite de ton extinction, je voilerai les cieux et j’assombrirai leurs étoiles; le soleil, je le couvrirai de nuées et la lune ne fera plus briller son éclat.
When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
8 Tous les flambeaux lumineux au ciel, je les obscurcirai à cause de toi et je répandrai les ténèbres sur ton pays, dit le Seigneur Dieu.
I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
9 Je contristerai le coeur de peuples nombreux, quand je ferai parvenir l’annonce de ta ruine parmi les nations, dans des pays que tu ne connais point.
And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
10 A cause de toi, je frapperai de stupeur quantité de peuples: à cause de toi, leurs rois seront saisis d’horreur, quand je ferai voltiger mon glaive devant leur face. Ils trembleront à tout instant, chacun pour sa personne, au jour de ta chute."
I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
11 Car ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: "Le glaive du roi de Babylone fondra sur toi.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
12 Sous les glaives des vaillants guerriers, tous gens terribles entre les nations, je ferai tomber ta multitude; ils ruineront l’orgueil de l’Egypte, et toute sa multitude périra.
I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
13 J’Anéantirai tout son bétail auprès des grandes eaux, et celles-ci ne seront plus troublées par le pied de l’homme, elles ne seront plus troublées par les sabots des animaux.
I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
14 Alors, je ferai rasseoir leurs flots, et les fleuves, je les ferai couler comme l’huile, dit le Seigneur Dieu.
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
15 Quand je réduirai la terre d’Egypte en ruines, et que le pays sera dépouillé de ce qu’il contient, quand je frapperai tous ceux qui l’habitent, on saura que c’est moi l’Eternel.
When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
16 C’Est là la complainte que l’on chantera, que chanteront les filles des nations. Elles la chanteront sur l’Egypte et sur toute sa multitude, dit le Seigneur Dieu."
That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
17 Il advint, dans la douzième année, le quinze du mois, que la parole de l’Eternel me fut adressée en ces termes:
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
18 "Fils de l’homme, consacre une lamentation à la multitude de l’Egypte et précipite-la, elle et les filles de nations puissantes, dans les régions souterraines avec ceux qui descendent dans la fosse.
“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
19 Qui dépasses-tu en agrément? Descends! Couche-toi avec des incirconcis!
Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
20 Ils tombent parmi les victimes du glaive; au glaive elle est livrée; entraînez-la avec toutes ses multitudes!
[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
21 Les puissants guerriers, du fond du Scheol, l’interpellent avec ses alliés: "Ils sont descendus disent-ils, ils se sont couchés les incirconcis, victimes du glaive!" (Sheol h7585)
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
22 Là est Achour avec toute sa troupe: autour de lui sont ses tombeaux; ce sont tous des victimes tombées sous le glaive,
[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
23 dont les sépulcres ont été placés au fond de la fosse, et la troupe rangée autour de son tombeau; ce sont tous des victimes tombées sous le glaive, eux qui avaient porté la terreur au pays des vivants.
The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
24 Là est Elam avec toute sa multitude à l’entour de son sépulcre; ce sont tous des victimes tombées sous le glaive; ils sont descendus incirconcis dans les profondeurs souterraines, eux qui avaient porté la terreur au pays des vivants; ils subissent leur opprobre avec ceux qui sont descendus dans la fosse.
A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
25 Au milieu des cadavres, on lui a donné une couche, avec toute sa multitude dans des tombes tout autour; ce sont tous des incirconcis, victimes du glaive, car leur terreur s’est répandue dans le pays des vivants; ils subissent leur opprobre avec ceux qui sont descendus dans la fosse; au milieu des cadavres, elle a été placée.
They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
26 Là est Méchec, là est Toubal et toute sa multitude; autour de lui ses tombeaux. Ce sont tous des incirconcis, victimes du glaive, car ils ont porté leur terreur au pays des vivants.
[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
27 Mais ils ne reposent pas avec les héros qui sont tombés parmi les incirconcis, qui sont descendus au tombeau avec leur attirail de guerre, à qui on a mis leurs glaives sous la tête; leurs crimes sont restés sur leurs ossements, car la terreur des héros a été au pays des vivants. (Sheol h7585)
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
28 Et toi, au milieu des incirconcis tu seras brisé, et tu te coucheras avec les victimes du glaive.
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
29 Là est Edom, avec ses rois et tous ses princes qui ont été mis, en dépit de leur force, avec les victimes du glaive; ceux-là reposent avec les incirconcis et ceux qui sont descendus dans la fosse.
People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
30 Là sont les princes du Nord au complet et tous les Sidoniens qui sont descendus avec les corps morts, confondus malgré la terreur que leur vigueur inspirait; ils se sont couchés, incirconcis, avec les victimes du glaive, et ils ont porté leur opprobre avec ceux qui sont descendus dans la fosse.
All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
31 Pharaon les verra et se consolera au sujet de toute sa multitude; ils seront victimes du glaive, Pharaon et toute son armée, dit le Seigneur Dieu.
The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
32 Car j’ai répandu ma terreur au pays des vivants; et il sera couché parmi les incirconcis, avec les victimes du glaive, Pharaon et toute sa multitude, dit le Seigneur Dieu."
While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
