< Isaïe 6 >
1 En l’année où est mort le roi Ozias, je vis le Seigneur assis sur un trône haut et élevé; et ce qui était sous lui remplissait le temple,
During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] the temple.
2 Des séraphins étaient au-dessus du trône: l’un avait six ailes, et l’autre six ailes; avec deux, ils voilaient leur face, et avec deux ils voilaient leurs pieds, et avec deux ils volaient.
Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
3 Et ils se criaient l’un à l’autre, et ils disaient: Saint, saint, saint est le Seigneur Dieu des armées, toute la terre est pleine de sa gloire.
They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
4 Et les linteaux des gonds furent ébranlés par la voix des anges qui criaient, et la maison fut remplie de fumée.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 Et je dis: Malheur à moi, parce que je me suis tu, parce que moi je suis un homme souillé par mes lèvres, et que j’habite au milieu d’un peuple qui a les lèvres souillées, et que j’ai vu le roi Seigneur des armées de mes yeux!
Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
6 Et vers moi voilà un des séraphins, et dans sa main était un caillou qu’avec des pincettes il avait enlevé de l’autel.
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
7 Et il en toucha ma bouche et dit: Cela a touché tes lèvres, et ton iniquité sera effacée, et ton péché sera purifié.
and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
8 Et j’entendis la voix du Seigneur disant: Qui enverrai-je et qui ira pour nous? Et je dis: Me voici; envoyez-moi.
Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
9 Et il dit: Va, et tu diras à ce peuple: Ecoutant, écoutez, et ne comprenez pas; et voyez la vision, et ne la discernez pas;
Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
10 Aveugle le cœur de ce peuple, et rends ses oreilles sourdes, et ferme ses yeux; de peur qu’il ne voie de ses yeux, et qu’il n’entende de ses oreilles, et que de son cœur il ne comprenne, et qu’il ne se convertisse et que je ne le guérisse.
[What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
11 Et j’ai dit: Jusques à quand, Seigneur? et il a dit: Jusqu’à ce que les cités soient désolées, et sans un habitant, et que les maisons soient sans un homme; et la terre sera laissée déserte.
Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
12 Et le Seigneur éloignera les hommes, et elle se multipliera, celle qui avait été délaissée au milieu de la terre.
[Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
13 Et elle sera encore décimée, et elle se convertira, et elle se montrera comme le térébinthe et comme le chêne qui étend ses rameaux; ce sera une race sainte, ce qui restera en elle.
If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
