Jeremiah 50
Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible
La parole que l’Éternel prononça sur Babylone, sur le pays des Chaldéens, par Jérémie, le prophète:
This is the word that the LORD spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Chaldeans (note: That is, the Babylonians; also in verses 8, 25, 35, and 45):
Annoncez-le parmi les nations, publiez-le, élevez une bannière!
“Announce and declare to the nations; lift up a banner and proclaim it; hold nothing back when you say, ‘Babylon is captured; Bel is put to shame; Marduk is shattered, her images are disgraced, her idols are broken in pieces.’
Car une nation monte contre elle du septentrion,
For a nation from the north will come against her; it will make her land a desolation. No one will live in it; both man and beast will flee.”
En ces jours, en ce temps-là, dit l’Éternel,
“In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, the children of Israel and the children of Judah will come together, weeping as they come, and will seek the LORD their God.
Ils s’informeront du chemin de Sion,
They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and join themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.
Mon peuple était un troupeau de brebis perdues;
My people are lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, causing them to roam the mountains. They have wandered from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
Tous ceux qui les trouvaient les dévoraient,
All who found them devoured them, and their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty, for they have sinned against the LORD, their true pasture, the LORD, the hope of their fathers.’
Fuyez de Babylone, sortez du pays des Chaldéens,
Flee from the midst of Babylon; depart from the land of the Chaldeans; be like the he-goats that lead the flock.
Car voici, je vais susciter et faire monter contre Babylone
For behold, I stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north. They will line up against her; from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.
Et la Chaldée sera livrée au pillage;
Chaldea (note: Or Babylonia) will be plundered; all who plunder her will have their fill,” declares the LORD.
Oui, soyez dans la joie, dans l’allégresse,
“Because you rejoice, because you sing in triumph—you who plunder My inheritance—because you frolic like a heifer treading grain and neigh like stallions,
Votre mère est couverte de confusion,
your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who bore you will be disgraced. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
A cause de la colère de l’Éternel, elle ne sera plus habitée,
Because of the wrath of the LORD, she will not be inhabited; she will become completely desolate. All who pass through Babylon will be horrified and will hiss at all her wounds.
Rangez-vous en bataille autour de Babylone, vous tous, archers!
Line up in formation around Babylon, all you who draw the bow! Shoot at her! Spare no arrows! For she has sinned against the LORD.
Poussez de tous côtés contre elle un cri de guerre!
Raise a war cry against her on every side! She has thrown up her hands in surrender; her towers have fallen; her walls are torn down. Since this is the vengeance of the LORD, take out your vengeance upon her; as she has done, do the same to her.
Exterminez de Babylone celui qui sème,
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and the one who wields the sickle at harvest time. In the face of the oppressor’s sword, each will turn to his own people, each will flee to his own land.
Israël est une brebis égarée, que les lions ont chassée;
Israel is a scattered flock, chased away by lions. The first to devour him was the king of Assyria; the last to crush his bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.”
C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël:
Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria.
Je ramènerai Israël dans sa demeure;
I will return Israel to his pasture, and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan; his soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
En ces jours, en ce temps-là, dit l’Éternel,
In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, a search will be made for Israel’s guilt, but there will be none, and for Judah’s sins, but they will not be found; for I will forgive the remnant I preserve.
Monte contre le pays doublement rebelle,
Go up against the land of Merathaim, and against the residents of Pekod. Kill them (note: LXX Avenge, O sword,) and devote them to destruction. Do all that I have commanded you,” declares the LORD.
Des cris de guerre retentissent dans le pays,
“The noise of battle is in the land—the noise of great destruction.
Eh quoi! Il est rompu, brisé, le marteau de toute la terre!
How the hammer of the whole earth lies broken and shattered! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
Je t’ai tendu un piège, et tu as été prise, Babylone,
I laid a snare for you, O Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it. You were found and captured because you challenged the LORD.
L’Éternel a ouvert son arsenal,
The LORD has opened His armory and brought out His weapons of wrath, for this is the work of the Lord GOD of Hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
Pénétrez de toutes parts dans Babylone, ouvrez ses greniers,
Come against her from the farthest border. Break open her granaries; pile her up like mounds of grain. Devote her to destruction; leave her no survivors.
Tuez tous ses taureaux, qu’on les égorge!
Kill all her young bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come—the time of their punishment.
Écoutez les cris des fuyards, de ceux qui se sauvent du pays de Babylone
Listen to the fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon, declaring in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance for His temple.
Appelez contre Babylone les archers, vous tous qui maniez l’arc!
Summon the archers against Babylon, all who string the bow. Encamp all around her; let no one escape. Repay her according to her deeds; do to her as she has done. For she has defied the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
C’est pourquoi ses jeunes gens tomberont dans les rues,
Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,” declares the LORD.
Voici, j’en veux à toi, orgueilleuse!
“Behold, I am against you, O arrogant one,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts, “for your day has come, the time when I will punish you.
L’orgueilleuse chancellera et tombera,
The arrogant one will stumble and fall with no one to pick him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities to consume all those around him.”
Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées:
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “The sons of Israel are oppressed, and the sons of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast, refusing to release them.
Mais leur vengeur est puissant,
Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of Hosts is His name. He will fervently plead their case so that He may bring rest to the earth, but turmoil to those who live in Babylon.
L’épée contre les Chaldéens! Dit l’Éternel,
A sword is against the Chaldeans, declares the LORD, against those who live in Babylon, and against her officials and wise men.
L’épée contre les prophètes de mensonge! Qu’ils soient comme des insensés!
A sword is against her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is against her warriors, and they will be filled with terror.
L’épée contre ses chevaux et ses chars!
A sword is against her horses and chariots and against all the foreigners in her midst, and they will become like women. A sword is against her treasuries, and they will be plundered.
La sécheresse contre ses eaux! Qu’elles tarissent!
A drought is upon her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and the people go mad over idols (note: Or go mad with fear).
C’est pourquoi les animaux du désert s’y établiront avec les chacals,
So the desert creatures and hyenas will live there and ostriches (note: Literally daughters of an ostrich or daughters of an owl) will dwell there. It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.
Comme Sodome et Gomorrhe, et les villes voisines, que Dieu détruisit,
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah along with their neighbors,” declares the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there.
Voici, un peuple vient du septentrion,
Behold, an army is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are stirred up from the ends of the earth.
Ils portent l’arc et le javelot;
They grasp the bow and spear (note: Or javelin); they are cruel and merciless. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, lined up like men in formation against you, O Daughter of Babylon.
Le roi de Babylone apprend la nouvelle,
The king of Babylon has heard the report, and his hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped him, pain like that of a woman in labor.
Voici, tel qu’un lion, il monte des rives orgueilleuses du Jourdain
Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Babylon from her land. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?”
C’est pourquoi écoutez la résolution que l’Éternel a prise contre Babylone,
Therefore hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Babylon and the strategies He has devised against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away; certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them.
Au bruit de la prise de Babylone la terre tremble,
At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will quake; a cry will be heard among the nations.
