Parallel
Micah 7
Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible
Malheur à moi! Car je suis comme à la récolte des fruits,
Woe is me! For I am like one gathering summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster to eat, no early fig that I crave.
L’homme de bien a disparu du pays,
The godly man has perished from the earth; there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; they hunt one another with a net.
Leurs mains sont habiles à faire le mal:
Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.
Le meilleur d’entre eux est comme une ronce,
The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation. Now is the time of their confusion.
Ne crois pas à un ami,
Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms (note: Hebrew in your bosom).
Car le fils outrage le père,
For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household (note: Cited in Matthew 10:35–36; see also Luke 12:53.).
Pour moi, je regarderai vers l’Éternel,
But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
Ne te réjouis pas à mon sujet, mon ennemie!
Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.
Je supporterai la colère de l’Éternel,
Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His righteousness.
Mon ennemie le verra et sera couverte de honte,
Then my enemy will see and will be covered with shame—she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; at that time she will be trampled like mud in the streets.
Le jour où l’on rebâtira tes murs,
The day for rebuilding your walls will come—the day for extending your boundary.
En ce jour, on viendra vers toi
On that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates (note: Hebrew the River), from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
Le pays sera dévasté à cause de ses habitants,
Then the earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the fruit of their deeds.
Pais ton peuple avec ta houlette, le troupeau de ton héritage,
Shepherd with Your staff Your people, the flock of Your inheritance. They live alone in a woodland, surrounded by pastures (note: Or in a woodland, in the midst of Carmel). Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Comme au jour où tu sortis du pays d’Égypte,
As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show My wonders.
Les nations le verront, et seront confuses,
Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.
Elles lécheront la poussière, comme le serpent,
They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will come trembling from their strongholds in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.
Quel Dieu est semblable à toi,
Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance—who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion (note: Forms of the Hebrew chesed are translated here and in most cases throughout the Scriptures as loving devotion; the range of meaning includes love, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, and mercy, as well as loyalty to a covenant.)?
Il aura encore compassion de nous,
He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.
Tu témoigneras de la fidélité à Jacob,
You will show faithfulness to Jacob and loving devotion to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.
