| 1 | En ce jour, l'Éternel frappera de sa dure, grande et forte épée Le léviathan, serpent fuyard, Le léviathan, serpent tortueux ; Et il tuera le monstre qui est dans la mer. | In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. | In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea. |
| 2 | En ce jour-là, Chantez un cantique sur la vigne. | In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. | In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it. |
| 3 | Moi l'Éternel, j'en suis le gardien, Je l'arrose à chaque instant ; De peur qu'on ne l'attaque, Nuit et jour je la garde. | I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. | I Jehovah am its keeper; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. |
| 4 | Il n'y a point en moi de colère ; Mais si je trouve à combattre des ronces et des épines, Je marcherai contre elles, je les consumerai toutes ensemble, | Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. | Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together. |
| 5 | A moins qu'on ne me prenne pour refuge, Qu'on ne fasse la paix avec moi, qu'on ne fasse la paix avec moi. | Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. | Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me. |
| 6 | Dans les temps à venir, Jacob prendra racine, Israël poussera des fleurs et des rejetons, Et il remplira le monde de ses fruits. | He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. | In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud; and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit. |
| 7 | L'Éternel l'a-t-il frappé comme il a frappé ceux qui le frappaient ? L'a-t-il tué comme il a tué ceux qui le tuaient ? | Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? | Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote them? or are they slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by them? |
| 8 | C'est avec mesure que tu l'as châtié par l'exil, En l'emportant par le souffle impétueux du vent d'orient. | In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. | In measure, when thou sendest them away, thou dost contend with them; he hath removed [them] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind. |
| 9 | Ainsi le crime de Jacob a été expié, Et voici le fruit du pardon de son péché : L'Éternel a rendu toutes les pierres des autels Pareilles à des pierres de chaux réduites en poussière ; Les idoles d'Astarté et les statues du soleil ne se relèveront plus. | By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. | Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more. |
| 10 | Car la ville forte est solitaire, C'est une demeure délaissée et abandonnée comme le désert ; Là pâture le veau, il s'y couche, et broute les branches. | Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. | For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. |
| 11 | Quand les rameaux sèchent, on les brise ; Des femmes viennent, pour les brûler. C'était un peuple sans intelligence : Aussi celui qui l'a fait n'a point eu pitié de lui, Celui qui l'a formé ne lui a point fait grâce. | When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour. | When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will show them no favor. |
| 12 | En ce temps-là, L'Éternel secouera des fruits, Depuis le cours du fleuve jusqu'au torrent d'Égypte ; Et vous serez ramassés un à un, enfants d'Israël ! | And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. | And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will beat off [his fruit] from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt; and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. |
| 13 | En ce jour, on sonnera de la grande trompette, Et alors reviendront ceux qui étaient exilés au pays d'Assyrie Ou fugitifs au pays d'Égypte ; Et ils se prosterneront devant l'Éternel, Sur la montagne sainte, à Jérusalem. | And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem. | And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come that were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem. |
