Parallel
Isaiah 46
Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible
Bel s’écroule, Nebo tombe;
Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle. The images you carry are burdensome, a load to the weary animal.
Ils sont tombés, ils se sont écroulés ensemble,
The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.
Écoutez-moi, maison de Jacob,
“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.
Jusqu’à votre vieillesse je serai le même,
Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.
A qui me comparerez-vous, pour le faire mon égal?
To whom will you liken Me or count Me equal? To whom will you compare Me, that we should be alike?
Ils versent l’or de leur bourse,
They pour out their bags of gold and weigh out silver on scales; they hire a goldsmith to fashion it into a god, so they can bow down and worship.
Ils le portent, ils le chargent sur l’épaule,
They lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.
Souvenez-vous de ces choses, et soyez des hommes!
Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
Souvenez-vous de ce qui s’est passé dès les temps anciens;
Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.
J’annonce dès le commencement ce qui doit arriver,
I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
C’est moi qui appelle de l’orient un oiseau de proie,
I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it.
Écoutez-moi, gens endurcis de cœur,
Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness:
Je fais approcher ma justice: elle n’est pas loin;
I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.
