Micah 4
1 Yahweh [says that] some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be [as though it is] higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there [to worship].
Et dans la suite des temps la montagne de la maison de l'Éternel se trouvera établie sur la cime des montagnes et élevée au-dessus des collines, et les peuples y afflueront.
2 [People from] many nations will say [to each other], “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion [Hill] is the place where he will teach [people]; and [people will go] out from Jerusalem [to tell others] his messages.
Et des peuples nombreux viendront et diront: « Allons, montons à la montagne de l'Éternel et à la maison du Dieu de Jacob, et qu'il nous instruise de ses voies-et nous marcherons sur ses sentiers! » car de Sion émanera la loi, et la parole de l'Éternel de Jérusalem!
3 Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will [also] settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and [hammer] their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. [Armies of] nations will no [longer] fight against [armies of other] nations, and they will no longer train [men how to fight] in wars.
Et Il sera le juge de beaucoup de peuples et l'arbitre de nations nombreuses au loin, et ils forgeront leurs épées en faucilles et leurs lances en serpes, et un peuple contre un peuple ne lèvera plus l'épée, et ils n'apprendront plus la guerre.
4 Everyone will sit [peacefully] under his own grapevines, and under his own fig trees; no one will cause them to be afraid. [That is what will surely happen] because the Commander of the armies of angels has said it.
Alors ils habiteront chacun sous sa vigne et sous son figuier, sans être troublés, car la bouche de l'Éternel des armées a prononcé.
5 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
Comme tous les peuples marchent chacun au nom de son Dieu, nous, nous marcherons au nom de l'Éternel, notre Dieu, à jamais, perpétuellement.
6 Yahweh says, “There will soon be a time when I will gather the people whom I have punished, who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries), all those whom [I have caused to] suffer much.
En ce jour-là, dit l'Éternel, je recueillerai les boiteux, et rassemblerai les expulsés et ceux que j'aurai maltraités,
7 My people who did not die while they were exiled will become a strong nation [again]. Then [I], Yahweh, will be their king, and I will rule from Jerusalem forever.
et je ferai des boiteux une réserve, et des disséminés un peuple nombreux, et l'Éternel sera leur Roi sur la montagne de Sion, dès lors à jamais.
8 As for you people of Jerusalem [MET], you who [guard all of my people] like [MET] [a shepherd guards his sheep] from a tower, you [who live on] Zion [Hill], will have great power again. You people who live in Jerusalem will again rule like you did previously.
Et toi, vedette du troupeau, colline de la fille de Sion, à toi parviendra, reviendra l'empire de jadis, la royauté de la fille de Jérusalem.
9 [So] why [RHQ] are you wailing now? Is it because you have no king? Have all your wise people died? You are groaning loudly like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.
Eh bien! pourquoi pousses-tu des cris? Es-tu sans roi, ou ton conseiller est-il mort, que la douleur te saisit comme la femme en travail?
10 [Well], you people of Jerusalem should writhe and groan like [SIM] a woman who is having birth pains, because now you must leave this city, and [while you are traveling], you will set up tents in open fields [at night]; you will go to [live in] Babylon. [But while you are] there, [I], Yahweh, will rescue you; I will free you from the power/control [MTY] of your enemies.
Sois tremblante et angoissée, fille de Sion, comme la femme en travail! Car maintenant tu vas sortir de la ville, et séjourner dans les champs, puis gagner Babel; mais là tu seras délivrée, là l'Éternel te rachètera de la main de tes ennemis.
11 Now [the armies of] many nations have gathered to attack you. They are saying, ‘Jerusalem must be destroyed! We want to see this city [when it becomes ruins]!’
Maintenant s'unissent contre toi des peuples nombreux qui disent: « Qu'elle soit profanée! et que le spectacle de Sion réjouisse nos regards! »
12 But they do not know what [I], Yahweh, think, and they do not understand what I plan: I will gather them [and punish them] like [SIM] [farmers] thresh grain on the ground.
Mais ils ne connaissent pas les pensées de l'Éternel, et ne comprennent pas son conseil, car Il les ramassera comme les gerbes sur l'aire.
13 So, you people of Jerusalem, rise up and punish [MET] [the nations who oppose you]. I will cause you [to be very strong], [as if] [MET] you had horns made of iron, [as if] [MET] you had hoofs made of bronze; and you will crush many nations. And [then you will take] from your enemies the valuable things that they have taken [from other countries], and you will dedicate those things to [me, the one who is] the Lord of all [the people on] the earth.”
Sus! triture, fille de Sion! car je fais ta corne de fer et ton sabot d'airain, pour que tu écrases nombre de peuples, et que tu consacres à l'Éternel leur butin, et leurs richesses au Seigneur de toute la terre.
