Isaiah 11
1 [Like] [MET] a [new] shoot [often] grows from the stump [of a tree], there will be a descendant of King David who will be a new king.
Un rameau sortira du tronc de Jessé, et de ses racines croîtra un rejeton.
2 The Spirit of Yahweh will always be with him. The Spirit will enable him to be wise and to understand [much about many things]. The Spirit will enable him to decide what is good to do, and will enable him to be very powerful. The Spirit will enable him to know Yahweh and to revere him.
Sur lui reposera l’Esprit de Yahweh, esprit de sagesse et d’intelligence, esprit de conseil et de force, esprit de connaissance et de crainte de Yahweh;
3 He will be glad to obey Yahweh. He will not decide [whether someone is righteous or not only] by seeing what that person looks like, or by listening to [what others say about that person].
Il mettra ses délices dans la crainte de Yahweh. Il ne jugera pas sur ce qui paraîtra à ses yeux, et il ne prononcera pas sur ce qui frappera ses oreilles.
4 He will judge [the cases of] needy people fairly; and he will act justly toward poor people. He will punish evil people as a result of what he decides [MTY]; he will get rid of wicked people because of [MTY] [their behavior].
Il jugera les petits avec justice, et prononcera selon le droit pour les humbles de la terre. Il frappera la terre de la verge de sa bouche, et par le souffle de ses lèvres il fera mourir le méchant.
5 He will always act righteously; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a belt [around his waist]. He will always speak what is true; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a sash [around his waist].
La justice ceindra ses flancs, et la fidélité sera la ceinture de ses reins.
6 [When he becomes king], wolves and lambs will live together [peacefully]; leopards, [instead of killing] baby goats, will lie down with them. [Similarly], calves and lions will eat food together; and a young child will take care of them.
Le loup habitera avec l’agneau, la panthère reposera avec le chevreau; le veau, le lion et le bœuf gras vivront ensemble, et un jeune enfant les conduira.
7 Cows and bears will eat [together]; bear cubs and calves will lie down together. Lions will [not eat other animals]; [instead], they will eat hay like cows do.
La vache et l’ourse iront au même pâturage, leurs petits auront un même gîte; et le lion mangera du fourrage comme le bœuf.
8 Babies will play [safely] near the holes where cobra snakes [live]; small children will [even] put their hands into nests of poisonous snakes, [and the snakes will not harm them].
Le nourrisson s’ébattra sur le trou de la vipère, et dans le repaire du basilic l’enfant à peine sevré mettra sa main.
9 No creatures will harm or kill other creatures on [Zion Hill], my holy hill; and the earth will [be filled with people who] know Yahweh like [SIM] the seas are full of water.
On ne fera pas de mal et on ne détruira plus sur toute ma montagne sainte; car le pays sera rempli de la connaissance de Yahweh, comme le fond des mers par les eaux qui le couvrent.
10 At that time, a descendant of King David will [hold up] a flag to signal to the people of all people-groups [that they should gather around him]; they will come to him to get his advice, and the place where he lives will be glorious.
Et il arrivera en ce jour-là: La racine de Jessé, élevée comme un étendard pour les peuples, sera recherchée par les nations, et son séjour sera glorieux.
11 At that time, Yahweh will (reach out his hand/use his power) as he did long ago; he will enable those who had been (exiled from/forced to leave) Israel to return home, from Assyria, from northern Egypt, from southern Egypt, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath, and from all the distant countries near the sea.
Et il arrivera en ce jour-là: le Seigneur étendra une seconde fois sa main pour racheter le reste de son peuple, ce qui subsistera aux pays d’Assyrie et d’Égypte, de Patros, d’Ethiopie, d’Elam, de Sennaar, de Hamath et des îles de la mer.
12 Yahweh will raise his flag among [all] the people-groups, and he will gather together the people of Israel who had been exiled [long ago]. He will gather from very distant places [IDM] on the earth the people of Judah who [(had been scattered to/are living in) those places].
Il élèvera un étendard pour les nations, et il rassemblera les bannis d’Israël; il recueillera les dispersés de Juda, des quatre bouts de la terre.
13 [Then], the people of Israel and the people of Judah will not be jealous of each other [any longer], and they will no [longer] be enemies of each other.
La jalousie d’Ephraïm disparaîtra et les inimitiés de Juda cesseront; Ephraïm ne sera plus jaloux de Juda, et Juda ne sera plus l’ennemi d’Ephraïm.
14 Their [armies] will [join together to] attack the people of Philistia to the west. And together they will attack nations to the east; they will [defeat those nations and] take away all their valuable possessions. They will capture [the areas of] Edom and Moab, and the people of the Ammon people-group will be controlled/ruled by the people of Israel and Judah.
Ils voleront sur l’épaule des Philistins à l’Occident; ils pilleront de concert les fils de l’Orient; ils mettront la main sur Edom et Moab, et les fils d’Ammon leur seront soumis.
15 Yahweh will make a dry road through the sea near Egypt. And [it will be as though] he will wave his hand over the [Euphrates] River and send a strong wind to cause it to divide into seven streams, with the result that people will be able to walk across [those streams].
Yahweh frappera d’anathème la langue de la mer d’Égypte; et il lèvera la main contre le Fleuve, dans la vigueur de son souffle; et, le frappant, il le partagera en sept ruisseaux, et fera qu’on y marche en sandales.
16 And because he will make a highway for his people who are living in Assyria, they will be able to return [to their own land], just like [long ago] he made a path for [the people of] Israel [so that they could go through the water] when they left Egypt.
Et ainsi il y aura une route pour le reste de son peuple, ce qui en subsistera au pays d’Assyrie, comme il y en eut une pour Israël au jour où il monta du pays d’Égypte.
