Parallel
Hosea 11
Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible
Quand Israël était jeune, je l’aimais,
When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son (note: Cited in Matthew 2:15).
Mais ils se sont éloignés de ceux qui les appelaient;
But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me (note: LXX; Hebrew The more they called them, the more they went from them.). They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images.
C’est moi qui guidai les pas d’Éphraïm,
It was I who taught Ephraim (note: That is, the northern kingdom of Israel; also in verses 8, 9, and 12) to walk, taking them by the arms, but they never realized that it was I who healed them.
Je les tirai avec des liens d’humanité, avec des cordages d’amour,
I led them with cords of kindness, with ropes of love; I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them.
Ils ne retourneront pas au pays d’Égypte;
Will they not return to the land of Egypt and be ruled by Assyria because they refused to repent?
L’épée fondra sur leurs villes,
A sword will flash through their cities; it will destroy the bars of their gates and consume them in their own plans.
Mon peuple est enclin à s’éloigner de moi;
My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He will by no means exalt them.
Que ferai-je de toi, Éphraïm?
How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred!
Je n’agirai pas selon mon ardente colère,
I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man—the Holy One among you—and I will not come in wrath.
Ils suivront l’Éternel, qui rugira comme un lion,
They will walk after the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west.
Ils accourront de l’Égypte, comme un oiseau,
They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes, declares the LORD.
