Isaïe 25
1 Éternel, tu es mon Dieu, je t'exalte, je célèbre ton nom, car tu as opéré des prodiges, tes plans conçus de loin furent vérité et fidélité.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
2 Car tu as fait de la ville une masure et de la forte cité une ruine; les palais des étrangers ne forment plus de ville, jamais ils ne seront relevés.
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 Aussi des peuples puissants te louent, et les cités des nations fortes te révèrent.
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 Car tu fus le refuge du faible, le refuge du misérable dans sa détresse, un abri contre la tempête, un ombrage contre la chaleur, quand le souffle des tyrans était comme l'ouragan qui bat la muraille.
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
5 Ainsi que la chaleur dans une terre brûlante, tu abats les menaces des étrangers, ainsi que la chaleur par l'ombre d'un nuage, ainsi sont étouffés les chants de triomphe des tyrans.
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
6 Et l'Éternel des armées apprête à tous les peuples, sur cette montagne, un festin de mets succulents, un festin de vin pris sur sa lie, de mets succulents et de moelle, de vin pris sur sa lie et limpide,
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
7 et sur cette montagne Il anéantit le voile qui voile tous les peuples, et la mante qui couvre toutes les nations.
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
8 Il anéantit la mort pour toujours, et le Seigneur Éternel essuie les larmes de tout visage, et fait disparaître de toute la terre l'opprobre de son peuple, car l'Éternel l'a prononcé.
He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
9 Et dans ce jour l'on dira: « Voici, c'est notre Dieu en qui nous avons eu confiance qu'il nous sauverait; c'est notre Dieu en qui nous avons eu confiance: soyons dans l'allégresse et réjouissons-nous de son secours! »
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
10 Car la main de l'Éternel repose sur cette montagne, et Moab sera trituré sur place, comme la paille est triturée dans le bain de fumier.
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
11 Là dedans il allongera les bras, comme le nageur les étend en nageant; mais [l'Éternel] refoulera son orgueil, et l'effort de ses bras.
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 Et Il abattra le rempart élevé de tes murs, Il le fera crouler, joncher la terre dans la poussière.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
