Psaumes 95
1 Venez, réjouissons-nous au Seigneur; poussons des cris d’allégresse vers Dieu notre salut.
Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
2 Prévenons sa présence par notre louange, et dans des psaumes poussons des cris d’allégresse vers lui.
We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
3 Parce que le Seigneur est le grand Dieu, le grand roi au-dessus de tous les dieux.
Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
4 Parce que dans sa main sont tous les confins de la terre, et que les cimes des montagnes sont à lui.
He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 Parce qu’à lui est la mer et que c’est lui-même qui l’a faite, et que ses mains ont formé le continent.
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
6 Venez, adorons, et prosternons-nous, et pleurons devant le Seigneur qui nous a faits.
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7 Parce que lui-même est le Seigneur notre Dieu, et que nous sommes le peuple de son pâturage, et les brebis de sa main.
He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 Aujourd’hui si vous entendez sa voix, n’endurcissez pas vos cœurs,
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 Comme dans l’irritation, au jour de la tentation dans le désert, où vos pères me tentèrent, m’éprouvèrent, et virent mes œuvres.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Pendant quarante ans, j’ai été courroucé contre cette génération, et j’ai dit: Toujours ils errent de cœur.
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 Et eux, ils n’ont point connu mes voies; ainsi j’ai juré dans ma colère: S’ils entreront dans mon repos.
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
