Ézéchiel 6
1 Et la parole du Seigneur me vint, disant:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Fils de l'homme, tourne la face contre les monts d'Israël, et prophétise contre eux.
Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,
3 Et dis-leur: Montagnes d'Israël, écoutez la parole du Seigneur. Ainsi dit le Seigneur aux montagnes, aux collines, aux vallons et aux forêts: Voilà que j'amène contre vous le glaive, et vos hauts lieux seront détruits.
You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.
4 Et vos autels seront brisés, et vos enclos détruits; et je jetterai vos cadavres en face de vos idoles.
And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.
5 Et je disperserai vos ossements autour de vos autels,
And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.
6 Et dans toutes vos demeures. Vos villes seront dépeuplées et vos hauts lieux abolis, afin que vos autels soient abattus, vos idoles brisées et vos enclos détruits.
In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.
7 Et les cadavres tomberont au milieu de vous, et vous saurez que je suis le Seigneur.
And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
8 Quand ceux de vous qui auront échappé au glaive seront parmi les nations, pendant votre dispersion dans les royaumes,
But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.
9 Ceux de vous qui auront échappé et qui seront captifs parmi les nations se souviendront de moi. J'ai juré contre leur cœur, qui s'est prostitué loin de moi, contre leurs yeux, qui se sont prostitués à leurs désirs. Et ils se frapperont au visage en souvenir de toutes leurs abominations.
And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.
10 Et ils reconnaîtront que moi, le Seigneur, j'ai parlé.
And they will be certain that I am the Lord: not for nothing did I say that I would do this evil to them.
11 Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: Bats des mains, frappe du pied, et dis: Malheur, malheur sur toutes les abominations de la maison d'Israël! Ils périront par le glaive, par la peste et par la famine.
This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.
12 Celui qui est près tombera sous le glaive; celui qui est loin périra par la peste; et celui qui est assiégé mourra de faim. Et j'assouvirai sur eux ma colère.
He who is far away will come to his death by disease; he who is near will be put to the sword; he who is shut up will come to his death through need of food; and I will give full effect to my passion against them.
13 Et vous saurez que je suis le Seigneur, quand vos cadavres seront au milieu de vos idoles, autour de vos autels sur toute haute colline, sous chaque arbre touffu, où ils offraient les odeurs de l'encens à toutes leurs idoles.
And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.
14 Et j'étendrai la main sur eux, et je désolerai la terre, et je la ruinerai dans toutes ses demeures à partir du désert de Déblatha. Et vous saurez que je suis le Seigneur.
And my hand will be stretched out against them, making the land waste and unpeopled, from the waste land to Riblah, through all their living-places: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
