Ézéchiel 7
1 Et la parole du Seigneur vint à moi, disant:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Et toi, fils de l'homme, dis: Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: La fin est venue pour la terre d'Israël; elle est venue sur les quatre ailes de la terre.
And you, son of man, say, This is what the Lord has said to the land of Israel: An end has come, the end has come on the four quarters of the land.
3 La fin est venue
Now the end has come on you, and I will send my wrath on you, judging you for your ways, I will send punishment on you for all your disgusting acts.
4 Pour toi, habitant de la terre; le temps est venu, le jour est proche; il est venu sans troubles et sans douleurs.
My eye will not have mercy on you, and I will have no pity: but I will send the punishment of your ways on you, and your disgusting works will be among you: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
5 Maintenant, à portée de ma main, je répandrai sur toi ma colère, j'assouvirai sur toi ma fureur, et je te jugerai pour tes voies, et je te rétribuerai pour toutes tes abominations.
This is what the Lord has said: An evil, even one evil; see, it is coming.
6 Mon œil sera sans pitié, et je serai sans miséricorde; car je te rétribuerai selon tes voies, et tes abominations seront au milieu de toi; et tu sauras que je suis le Seigneur, et que c'est moi qui te frappe.
An end has come, the end has come; see, it is coming on you.
7 Maintenant ta fin est proche; et j'enverrai mon jugement contre toi, et je te punirai dans tes voies, et je te rétribuerai pour toutes tes abominations.
The crowning time has come on you, O people of the land: the time has come, the day is near; the day will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
8 Mon œil sera sans pitié, et je serai sans miséricorde; car je te rétribuerai pour tes voies, et tes abominations seront au milieu de toi, et tu sauras que je suis le Seigneur.
Now, in a little time, I will let loose my passion on you, and give full effect to my wrath against you, judging you for your ways, and sending punishment on you for all your disgusting works.
9 Car ainsi dit le Seigneur.
My eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity: I will send on you the punishment of your ways, and your disgusting works will be among you; and you will see that I am the Lord who gives punishment.
10 Voilà que la fin est venue, voilà le jour du Seigneur, puisque la verge a fleuri et que l'orgueil a germé.
See, the day; see, it is coming: the crowning time has gone out; the twisted way is flowering, pride has put out buds.
11 Et le Seigneur brisera la force de l'impie, et cela sans trouble et sans hâte.
Violent behaviour has been lifted up into a rod of evil; it will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
12 Le temps est venu, voilà le jour. Que l'acheteur ne se réjouisse pas, que le vendeur ne se lamente pas.
The time has come, the day is near: let not him who gives a price for goods be glad, or him who gets the price have sorrow:
13 Car l'acheteur ne retournera pas vers le vendeur, et l'homme ne prévaudra pas avec l'œil de sa vie.
For the trader will not go back to the things for which he had his price, even while he is still living:
14 Sonnez de la trompette, et choisissez entre toutes ces choses:
And he who has given a price for goods will not get them, for my wrath is on all of them.
15 La guerre au dehors avec le glaive, la famine et la peste au dedans; celui qui est aux champs périra par le glaive; ceux qui seront dans la ville, la famine et la peste les consumeront.
Outside is the sword, and inside disease and need of food: he who is in the open country will be put to the sword; he who is in the town will come to his end through need of food and disease.
16 Et parmi eux, ceux qui se seront enfuis seront sauvés, et ils resteront dans les montagnes. Mais les autres, je les tuerai, chacun dans son iniquité.
And those of them who get away safely will go and be in the secret places like the doves of the valleys, all of them will come to death, every one in his sin.
17 Toute main sera défaillante, toute jambe souillée d'humeurs.
All hands will be feeble and all knees without strength, like water.
18 Et ils ceindront des cilices, et l'effroi les couvrira; et tout visage sera confondu, et toute tête sera chauve.
And they will put haircloth round them, and deep fear will be covering them; and shame will be on all faces, and the hair gone from all their heads.
19 On jettera leur argent dans les rues, on méprisera leur or; et leurs âmes n'en seront pas assouvies, et leurs entrailles n'en seront point rassasiées; car le châtiment de leurs iniquités est venu.
They will put out their silver into the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they will not get their desire or have food for their need: because it has been the cause of their falling into sin.
20 Leurs ornements les plus précieux, ils s'en sont servis pour satisfaire leur orgueil; ils en ont fait les images de leurs abominations. C'est pourquoi je les regarde comme choses impures.
As for their beautiful ornament, they had put it on high, and had made the images of their disgusting and hated things in it: for this cause I have made it an unclean thing to them.
21 Et je les livrerai aux mains des étrangers, pour les mettre au pillage, et aux fléaux de la terre, pour en être la proie; et on les tiendra choses impures.
And I will give it into the hands of men from strange lands who will take it by force, and to the evil-doers of the earth to have for themselves; and they will make it unholy.
22 Et je détournerai de ces hommes mon visage; et ils profaneront le lieu de mon repos, et ils y entreront avec insolence, et ils le profaneront.
And my face will be turned away from them, and they will make my secret place unholy: violent men will go into it and make it unholy.
23 Et ils le bouleverseront; car la terre est pleine d'étrangers, et la ville pleine d'iniquités.
Make the chain: for the land is full of crimes of blood, and the town is full of violent acts.
24 Et je ferai taire les rugissements de leur force; et leurs choses saintes seront souillées.
For this reason I will send the worst of the nations and they will take their houses for themselves: I will make the pride of their strength come to an end; and their holy places will be made unclean.
25 Et l'expiation viendra, et chacun cherchera la paix, et il n'y en aura point.
Shaking fear is coming; and they will be looking for peace, and there will be no peace.
26 Et il y aura malheur sur malheur, message sur message; on cherchera quelque vision de prophète, et la loi périra par le prêtre, et le conseil par les anciens.
Destruction will come on destruction, and one story after another; and the vision of the prophet will be shamed, and knowledge of the law will come to an end among the priests, and wisdom among the old.
27 Le prince se revêtira de désolation; les mains du peuple seront paralysées. Je les traiterai selon leurs voies, et je les punirai selon leurs jugements, et ils sauront que je suis le Seigneur.
The king will give himself up to sorrow, and the ruler will be clothed with wonder, and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled: I will give them punishment for their ways, judging them as it is right for them to be judged; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
