Michée 7
|
| Sorrow is mine! for I am as when they have got in the summer fruits, like the last of the grapes: there is nothing for food, not even an early fig for my desire. | Malheur à moi! car je suis comme à la récolte des fruits, Comme au grappillage après la vendange: Il n`y a point de grappes à manger, Point de ces primeurs que mon âme désire. |
| The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net. | L`homme de bien a disparu du pays, Et il n`y a plus de juste parmi les hommes; Ils sont tous en embuscade pour verser le sang, Chacun tend un piège à son frère. |
| Their hands are made ready to do evil; the ruler makes requests for money, and the judge is looking for a reward; and the great man gives decisions at his pleasure, and the right is twisted. | Leurs mains sont habiles à faire le mal: Le prince a des exigences, Le juge réclame un salaire, Le grand manifeste son avidité, Et ils font ainsi cause commune. |
| The best of them is like a waste plant, and their upright ones are like a wall of thorns. Sorrow! the day of their fate has come; now will trouble come on them. | Le meilleur d`entre eux est comme une ronce, Le plus droit pire qu`un buisson d`épines. Le jour annoncé par tes prophètes, ton châtiment approche. C`est alors qu`ils seront dans la confusion. |
| Put no faith in a friend, do not let your hope be placed in a relation: keep watch on the doors of your mouth against her who is resting on your breast. | Ne crois pas à un ami, Ne te fie pas à un intime; Devant celle qui repose sur ton sein Garde les portes de ta bouche. |
| For the son puts shame on his father, the daughter goes against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's haters are those of his family. | Car le fils outrage le père, La fille se soulève contre sa mère, La belle-fille contre sa belle-mère; Chacun a pour ennemis les gens de sa maison. - |
| But as for me, I am looking to the Lord; I am waiting for the God of my salvation: the ears of my God will be open to me. | Pour moi, je regarderai vers l`Éternel, Je mettrai mon espérance dans le Dieu de mon salut; Mon Dieu m`exaucera. |
| Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me. | Ne te réjouis pas à mon sujet, mon ennemie! Car si je suis tombée, je me relèverai; Si je suis assise dans les ténèbres, L`Éternel sera ma lumière. |
| I will undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see his righteousness; | Je supporterai la colère de l`Éternel, Puisque j`ai péché contre lui, Jusqu`à ce qu`il défende ma cause et me fasse droit; Il me conduira à la lumière, Et je contemplerai sa justice. |
| And my hater will see it and be covered with shame; she who said to me, Where is the Lord your God? my eyes will see their desire effected on her, now she will be crushed under foot like the dust of the streets. | Mon ennemie le verra et sera couverte de honte, Elle qui me disait: Où est l`Éternel, ton Dieu? Mes yeux se réjouiront à sa vue; Alors elle sera foulée aux pieds comme la boue des rues. - |
| A day for building your walls! in that day will your limits be stretched far and wide. | Le jour où l`on rebâtira tes murs, Ce jour-là tes limites seront reculées. |
| In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the towns of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain. | En ce jour, on viendra vers toi De l`Assyrie et des villes d`Égypte, De l`Égypte jusqu`au fleuve, D`une mer à l`autre, et d`une montagne à l`autre. |
| But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works. | Le pays sera dévasté à cause de ses habitants, A cause du fruit de leurs oeuvres. |
| Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past. | Pais ton peuple avec ta houlette, le troupeau de ton héritage, Qui habite solitaire dans la forêt au milieu du Carmel! Qu`ils paissent sur le Basan et en Galaad, Comme au jour d`autrefois. - |
| As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, let us see things of wonder. | Comme au jour où tu sortis du pays d`Égypte, Je te ferai voir des prodiges. - |
| The nations will see and be shamed because of all their strength; they will put their hands on their mouths, their ears will be stopped. | Les nations le verront, et seront confuses, Avec toute leur puissance; Elles mettront la main sur la bouche, Leurs oreilles seront assourdies. |
| They will take dust as their food like a snake, like the things which go flat on the earth; they will come shaking with fear out of their secret places: they will come with fear to the Lord our God, full of fear because of you. | Elles lécheront la poussière, comme le serpent, Comme les reptiles de la terre; Elles seront saisies de frayeur hors de leurs forteresses; Elles trembleront devant l`Éternel, notre Dieu, Elles te craindront. |
| Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy. | Quel Dieu est semblable à toi, Qui pardonnes l`iniquité, qui oublies les péchés Du reste de ton héritage? Il ne garde pas sa colère à toujours, Car il prend plaisir à la miséricorde. |
| He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea. | Il aura encore compassion de nous, Il mettra sous ses pieds nos iniquités; Tu jetteras au fond de la mer tous leurs péchés. |
| You will make clear your good faith to Jacob and your mercy to Abraham, as you gave your oath to our fathers from times long past. | Tu témoigneras de la fidélité à Jacob, De la bonté à Abraham, Comme tu l`as juré à nos pères aux jours d`autrefois. |
