Isaïe 62
1 Pour l'amour de Sion je ne garde pas le silence, et pour l'amour de Jérusalem je ne me donne point de relâche, jusqu'à ce que sa justice paraisse comme l'aube, et son salut comme une torche allumée.
Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
2 Alors les nations contempleront ta justice, et tous les rois ta splendeur, et l'on t'appellera d'un nom nouveau fixé par la bouche de l'Éternel.
[Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
3 Et tu seras une couronne éclatante dans la main de l'Éternel, et une mitre royale dans la main de ton Dieu.
[It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
4 On ne te dira plus délaissée, et ton pays ne sera plus appelé désert; mais on t'appellera « Mon plaisir est en elle, » et ta terre « une épouse. » Car l'Éternel trouve son plaisir en toi, et ta terre a un époux.
Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
5 Car de même qu'un jeune homme se marie à une vierge, tes fils se marieront à toi, et la joie que le fiancé reçoit de sa fiancée, ton Dieu la recevra de toi.
You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
6 Sur tes murs, Jérusalem, je place des gardes; de tout le jour et de toute la nuit ils ne garderont pas un instant le silence. « Vous qui rappelez le souvenir de l'Éternel, ne vous donnez point de relâche!
[You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
7 Et ne lui donnez point de relâche qu'il n'ait fondé Jérusalem et ne l'ait rendue un objet de louanges sur la terre. »
And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
8 L'Éternel l'a juré par sa droite et par son bras puissant: Je ne donnerai plus ton blé en nourriture à tes ennemis, et les enfants de l'étranger ne boiront plus ton moût gagné par ton labeur,
Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
9 mais ceux qui le récolteront le mangeront et loueront l'Éternel, et ceux qui le cueilleront, le boiront dans mes saints parvis.
You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
10 Rendez-vous, rendez-vous aux portes; préparez le chemin au peuple! frayez, frayez la route, enlevez les pierres, dressez un étendard pour les peuples!
Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
11 Voici, l'Éternel fait aux extrémités de la terre cette proclamation: Dites à la fille de Sion: Voici, ton Sauveur arrive; voici, ses récompenses l'accompagnent et ses rétributions le précèdent.
This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
12 Et on les appelle « peuple saint, rachetés de l'Éternel, » et toi, on t'appelle « cité cherchée, non délaissée. »
They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
