Psaumes 89
|
| Maschil. Of Ethan the Ezrahite.My song will be of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make his faith clear to all generations. | Cantique d`Éthan, l`Ézrachite. Je chanterai toujours les bontés de l`Éternel; Ma bouche fera connaître à jamais ta fidélité. |
| For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens. | Car je dis: La bonté a des fondements éternels; Tu établis ta fidélité dans les cieux. |
| I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant; | J`ai fait alliance avec mon élu; Voici ce que j`ai juré à David, mon serviteur: |
| I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah.) | J`affermirai ta postérité pour toujours, Et j`établirai ton trône à perpétuité. Pause. |
| In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints. | Les cieux célèbrent tes merveilles, ô Éternel! Et ta fidélité dans l`assemblée des saints. |
| For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods? | Car qui, dans le ciel, peut se comparer à l`Éternel? Qui est semblable à toi parmi les fils de Dieu? |
| God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him. | Dieu est terrible dans la grande assemblée des saints, Il est redoutable pour tous ceux qui l`entourent. |
| O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you. | Éternel, Dieu des armées! qui est comme toi puissant, ô Éternel? Ta fidélité t`environne. |
| You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm. | Tu domptes l`orgueil de la mer; Quand ses flots se soulèvent, tu les apaises. |
| Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters. | Tu écrasas l`Égypte comme un cadavre, Tu dispersas tes ennemis par la puissance de ton bras. |
| Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it. | C`est à toi qu`appartiennent les cieux et la terre, C`est toi qui as fondé le monde et ce qu`il renferme. |
| You have made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon are sounding with joy at your name. | Tu as créé le nord et le midi; Le Thabor et l`Hermon se réjouissent à ton nom. |
| Yours is an arm of power; strong is your hand and high your right hand. | Ton bras est puissant, Ta main forte, ta droite élevée. |
| The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face. | La justice et l`équité sont la base de ton trône. La bonté et la fidélité sont devant ta face. |
| Happy are the people who have knowledge of the holy cry: the light of your face, O Lord, will be shining on their way. | Heureux le peuple qui connaît le son de la trompette; Il marche à la clarté de ta face, ô Éternel! |
| In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up. | Il se réjouit sans cesse de ton nom, Et il se glorifie de ta justice. |
| For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up. | Car tu es la gloire de sa puissance; C`est ta faveur qui relève notre force. |
| For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's. | Car l`Éternel est notre bouclier, Le Saint d`Israël est notre roi. |
| Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people. | Alors tu parlas dans une vision à ton bien-aimé, Et tu dis: J`ai prêté mon secours à un héros, J`ai élevé du milieu du peuple un jeune homme; |
| I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head. | J`ai trouvé David, mon serviteur, Je l`ai oint de mon huile sainte. |
| My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength. | Ma main le soutiendra, Et mon bras le fortifiera. |
| The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil. | L`ennemi ne le surprendra pas, Et le méchant ne l`opprimera point; |
| I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows. | J`écraserai devant lui ses adversaires, Et je frapperai ceux qui le haïssent. |
| But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up. | Ma fidélité et ma bonté seront avec lui, Et sa force s`élèvera par mon nom. |
| I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. | Je mettrai sa main sur la mer, Et sa droite sur les fleuves. |
| He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation. | Lui, il m`invoquera: Tu es mon père, Mon Dieu et le rocher de mon salut! |
| And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth. | Et moi, je ferai de lui le premier-né, Le plus élevé des rois de la terre. |
| I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed. | Je lui conserverai toujours ma bonté, Et mon alliance lui sera fidèle; |
| His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens. | Je rendrai sa postérité éternelle, Et son trône comme les jours des cieux. |
| If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions; | Si ses fils abandonnent ma loi Et ne marchent pas selon ses ordonnances, |
| If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept; | S`ils violent mes préceptes Et n`observent pas mes commandements, |
| Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing. | Je punirai de la verge leurs transgressions, Et par des coups leurs iniquités; |
| But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith. | Mais je ne lui retirerai point ma bonté Et je ne trahirai pas ma fidélité, |
| I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed. | Je ne violerai point mon alliance Et je ne changerai pas ce qui est sorti de mes lèvres. |
| I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David. | J`ai juré une fois par ma sainteté: Mentirai-je à David? |
| His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me. | Sa postérité subsistera toujours; Son trône sera devant moi comme le soleil, |
| It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.) | Comme la lune il aura une éternelle durée. Le témoin qui est dans le ciel est fidèle. Pause. |
| But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection. | Et pourtant, tu as rejeté, tu as repoussé! Tu t`es irrité contre ton oint! |
| You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth. | Tu as dédaigné l`alliance avec ton serviteur; Tu as abattu, profané sa couronne. |
| All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction. | Tu as détruit toutes ses murailles, Tu as mis en ruines ses forteresses. |
| All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours. | Tous les passants le dépouillent; Il est un objet d`opprobre pour ses voisins. |
| You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him. | Tu as élevé la droite de ses adversaires, Tu as réjoui tous ses ennemis; |
| His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight. | Tu as fait reculer le tranchant de son glaive, Et tu ne l`as pas soutenu dans le combat. |
| You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth. | Tu as mis un terme à sa splendeur, Et tu as jeté son trône à terre; |
| You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.) | Tu as abrégé les jours de sa jeunesse, Tu l`as couvert de honte. Pause. |
| How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire? | Jusques à quand, Éternel! te cacheras-tu sans cesse, Et ta fureur s`embrasera-t-elle comme le feu? |
| See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose? | Rappelle-toi ce qu`est la durée de ma vie, Et pour quel néant tu as créé tous les fils de l`homme. |
| What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah.) | Y a-t-il un homme qui puisse vivre et ne pas voir la mort, Qui puisse sauver son âme du séjour des morts? Pause. |
| Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith? | Où sont, Seigneur! tes bontés premières, Que tu juras à David dans ta fidélité? |
| Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart; | Souviens-toi, Seigneur! de l`opprobre de tes serviteurs, Souviens-toi que je porte en mon sein tous les peuples nombreux; |
| The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king. | Souviens-toi des outrages de tes ennemis, ô Éternel! De leurs outrages contre les pas de ton oint. |
| Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it. | Béni soit à jamais l`Éternel! Amen! Amen! |
