Parallel
Jeremiah 48
Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible
Sur Moab.
Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled.
Elle n’est plus, la gloire de Moab;
There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon (note: The Hebrew for Heshbon sounds like the Hebrew for plot.) they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
Des cris partent de Choronaïm;
A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’
Moab est brisé!
Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out (note: Hebrew; LXX her cries are heard as far away as Zoar).
Car on répand des pleurs à la montée de Luchith,
For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:
Fuyez, sauvez votre vie,
‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert (note: Or like a wild donkey or like Aroer).’
Car, parce que tu t’es confié dans tes œuvres et dans tes trésors,
Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
Le dévastateur entrera dans chaque ville,
The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.
Donnez des ailes à Moab,
Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.
Maudit soit celui qui fait avec négligence l’œuvre de l’Éternel,
Cursed is the one who is remiss in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.
Moab était tranquille depuis sa jeunesse,
Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.
C’est pourquoi voici, les jours viennent, dit l’Éternel,
Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him wanderers, who will pour him out. They will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.
Moab aura honte de Kemosch,
Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.
Comment pouvez-vous dire: Nous sommes de vaillants hommes,
How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?
Moab est ravagé, ses villes montent en fumée,
Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
La ruine de Moab est près d’arriver,
Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.
Lamentez-vous sur lui, vous tous qui l’environnez,
Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered—the glorious staff!
Descends du séjour de la gloire, assieds-toi sur la terre desséchée,
Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.
Tiens-toi sur le chemin, et regarde, habitante d’Aroër!
Stand by the road and watch, O dweller of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing or the woman escaping, ‘What has happened?’
Moab est confus, car il est brisé.
Moab is put to shame, for it has been shattered. Wail and cry out! Declare by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.
Le châtiment est venu sur le pays de la plaine,
Judgment has come upon the high plain—upon Holon, Jahzah (note: Jahzah is a variant of Jahaz; see verse 34.), and Mephaath,
Sur Kerijoth, sur Botsra,
upon Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of Moab, those far and near.
La force de Moab est abattue,
The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm is broken,” declares the LORD.
Enivrez-le, car il s’est élevé contre l’Éternel!
“Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against the LORD; so Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
Israël n’a-t-il pas été pour toi un objet de raillerie?
Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.
Abandonnez les villes, et demeurez dans les rochers,
Abandon the towns and settle among the rocks, O dwellers of Moab! Be like a dove that nests at the mouth of a cave.
Nous connaissons l’orgueil du superbe Moab,
We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.
Je connais, dit l’Éternel, sa présomption et ses vains discours,
I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.
C’est pourquoi je gémis sur Moab,
Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres (note: Kir-heres is a variant of Kir-hareseth; also in verse 36; see Isaiah 16:7.).
Vigne de Sibma, je pleure sur toi plus que sur Jaezer;
I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer (note: Two Hebrew manuscripts and LXX; most Hebrew manuscripts to the Sea of Jazer). Your tendrils have extended to the sea (note: Probably the Dead Sea); they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
La joie et l’allégresse ont disparu des campagnes
Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.
Les cris de Hesbon retentissent jusqu’à Élealé,
There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they raise their voices to Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
Je veux en finir dans Moab, dit l’Éternel,
In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.
Aussi mon cœur gémit comme une flûte sur Moab,
Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.
Car toutes les têtes sont rasées,
For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.
Sur tous les toits de Moab et dans ses places,
On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,” declares the LORD.
Comme il est brisé! Poussez des gémissements!
“How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”
Car ainsi parle l’Éternel:
For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.
Kerijoth est prise,
Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
Moab sera exterminé, il cessera d’être un peuple,
Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he vaunted himself against the LORD.
La terreur, la fosse, et le filet,
Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,” declares the LORD.
Celui qui fuit devant la terreur tombe dans la fosse,
“Whoever flees the panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For I will bring upon Moab the year of their punishment,” declares the LORD.
A l’ombre de Hesbon les fuyards s’arrêtent épuisés;
“Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow, because fire has gone forth from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon. It devours the foreheads of Moab and the skulls of the sons of tumult.
Malheur à toi, Moab!
Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; for your sons have been taken into exile and your daughters have gone into captivity.
Mais je ramènerai les captifs de Moab, dans la suite des temps,
Yet in the latter days I will restore Moab from captivity (note: Or restore the fortunes of Moab),” declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
