| 1 | Malheur à la couronne superbe des ivrognes d'Éphraïm, A la fleur fanée, qui fait l'éclat de sa parure, Sur la cime de la fertile vallée de ceux qui s'enivrent ! | Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! | Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine! | Guai alla corona di superbia degli ubriachi di Efraim e al fiore appassito della sua gloriosa bellezza che sta sul capo della fertile valle di quelli sopraffatti dal vino! |
| 2 | Voici venir, de la part du Seigneur, un homme fort et puissant, Comme un orage de grêle, un ouragan destructeur, Comme une tempête qui précipite des torrents d'eaux : Il la fait tomber en terre avec violence. | Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. | Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will he cast down to the earth with the hand. | Ecco, il Signore ha un uomo forte e potente, come una tempesta di grandine, un uragano distruttore, come un'alluvione di potenti acque inondanti; egli li getterà a terra con la sua mano. |
| 3 | Elle sera foulée aux pieds, La couronne superbe des ivrognes d'Éphraïm ; | The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: | The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot: | La corona di superbia degli ubriachi di Efraim sarà calpestata; |
| 4 | Et la fleur fanée, qui fait l'éclat de sa parure, Sur la cime de la fertile vallée, Sera comme une figue hâtive qu'on aperçoit avant la récolte, Et qui, à peine dans la main, est aussitôt avalée. | And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. | and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. | e il fiore appassito della sua gloriosa bellezza che sta sul capo della fertile valle sarà come un fico primaticcio prima dell'estate, che uno vede; egli lo ingoia appena lo ha in mano. |
| 5 | En ce jour, l'Éternel des armées sera Une couronne éclatante et une parure magnifique Pour le reste de son peuple, | In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, | In that day will Jehovah of hosts become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people; | In quel giorno l'Eterno degli eserciti sarà una corona di gloria, uno splendido diadema per il resto del suo popolo, |
| 6 | Un esprit de justice pour celui qui est assis au siège de la justice, Et une force pour ceux qui repoussent l'ennemi jusqu'à ses portes. | And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. | and a spirit of justice to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate. | uno spirito di giustizia per colui che siede per giudicare e la forza di quelli che in battaglia respingono il nemico fino alle sue porte. |
| 7 | Mais eux aussi, ils chancellent dans le vin, Et les boissons fortes leur donnent des vertiges ; Sacrificateurs et prophètes chancellent dans les boissons fortes, Ils sont absorbés par le vin, Ils ont des vertiges à cause des boissons fortes ; Ils chancellent en prophétisant, Ils vacillent en rendant la justice. | But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. | And even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. | Ma anche questi barcollano per il vino e vacillano per le bevande inebrianti; il sacerdote e il profeta barcollano per le bevande inebrianti, barcollano come se avessero visioni, tentennano nel pronunciare giudizi. |
| 8 | Toutes les tables sont pleines de vomissements, d'ordures ; Il n'y a plus de place. - | For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. | For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean]. | Tutte le tavole sono piene di vomito e di sporcizia, non c'è più posto pulito. |
| 9 | A qui veut-on enseigner la sagesse ? A qui veut-on donner des leçons ? Est-ce à des enfants qui viennent d'être sevrés, Qui viennent de quitter la mamelle ? | Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. | Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts? | A chi vuole insegnare conoscenza? A chi vuole far comprendere il messaggio? A quelli appena divezzati, a quelli appena staccati dalle mammelle? |
| 10 | Car c'est précepte sur précepte, précepte sur précepte, Règle sur règle, règle sur règle, Un peu ici, un peu là. - | For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: | For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. | Poiché è un precetto su precetto, precetto su precetto, regola su regola, regola su regola, un po' qui, un po' là. |
| 11 | Hé bien ! c'est par des hommes aux lèvres balbutiantes Et au langage barbare Que l'Éternel parlera à ce peuple. | For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. | Nay, but by [men of] strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people; | Sarà infatti mediante labbra balbuzienti e mediante un'altra lingua che l'Eterno parlerà a questo popolo, |
| 12 | Il lui disait : Voici le repos, Laissez reposer celui qui est fatigué ; Voici le lieu du repos ! Mais ils n'ont point voulu écouter. | To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. | to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. | Egli aveva loro detto: Ecco il riposo: fate riposare lo stanco; questo è il refrigerio!. Ma essi non vollero ascoltare. |
| 13 | Et pour eux la parole de l'Éternel sera Précepte sur précepte, précepte sur précepte, Règle sur règle, règle sur règle, Un peu ici, un peu là, Afin qu'en marchant ils tombent à la renverse et se brisent, Afin qu'ils soient enlacés et pris. | But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. | Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. | Così la parola dell'Eterno è stata per loro precetto su precetto, precetto su precetto, regola su regola, regola su regola, un po' qui, un po' là, perché andassero a cadere all'indietro, fossero fatti a pezzi, presi al laccio e catturati. |
| 14 | Écoutez donc la parole de l'Éternel, moqueurs, Vous qui dominez sur ce peuple de Jérusalem ! | Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. | Wherefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scoffers, that rule this people that is in Jerusalem: | Perciò ascoltate la parola dell'Eterno, o schernitori, che dominate questo popolo che sta in Gerusalemme! |
| 15 | Vous dites : Nous avons fait une alliance avec la mort, Nous avons fait un pacte avec le séjour des morts ; Quand le fléau débordé passera, il ne nous atteindra pas, Car nous avons la fausseté pour refuge et le mensonge pour abri. | Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: | Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: | Voi dite: Abbiamo concluso un patto con la morte, abbiamo fatto un'alleanza con lo Sceol; quando l'inondante flagello passerà, non giungerà fino a noi, perché abbiamo fatto della menzogna il nostro rifugio e ci siamo nascosti dietro la falsità. |
| 16 | C'est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Éternel : Voici, j'ai mis pour fondement en Sion une pierre, Une pierre éprouvée, une pierre angulaire de prix, solidement posée ; Celui qui la prendra pour appui n'aura point hâte de fuir. | Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. | therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner -[stone] of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste. | Perciò così dice il Signore, l'Eterno: Ecco, io pongo come fondamento in Sion una pietra, una pietra provata, una testata d'angolo preziosa, un fondamento sicuro; chi crede in essa non avrà alcuna fretta. |
| 17 | Je ferai de la droiture une règle, Et de la justice un niveau ; Et la grêle emportera le refuge de la fausseté, Et les eaux inonderont l'abri du mensonge. | Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. | And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place. | Io porrò il diritto come misura e la giustizia come piombino; la grandine spazzerà via il rifugio di menzogna e le acque sommergeranno il vostro rifugio. |
| 18 | Votre alliance avec la mort sera détruite, Votre pacte avec le séjour des morts ne subsistera pas ; Quand le fléau débordé passera, Vous serez par lui foulés aux pieds. | And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. | And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. | Il vostro patto con la morte sarà annullato e la vostra alleanza con lo Sceol non reggerà; quando l'inondante flagello passerà, voi sarete da esso calpestati. |
| 19 | Chaque fois qu'il passera, il vous saisira ; Car il passera tous les matins, le jour et la nuit, Et son bruit seul donnera l'épouvante. | From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. | As often as it passeth though, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message. | Ogni volta che passerà, vi afferrerà, perché passerà mattina dopo mattina, di giorno e di notte; sarà un vero terrore solo l'udirne il resoconto. |
| 20 | Le lit sera trop court pour s'y étendre, Et la couverture trop étroite pour s'en envelopper. | For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. | For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. | Il letto infatti sarà troppo corto per distendervisi, e la coperta troppo stretta per avvolgervisi. |
| 21 | Car l'Éternel se lèvera comme à la montagne de Peratsim, Il s'irritera comme dans la vallée de Gabaon, Pour faire son oeuvre, son oeuvre étrange, Pour exécuter son travail, son travail inouï. | For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. | For Jehovah will rise up as in mount Perazim, he will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act. | Poiché l'Eterno si leverà come al monte Peratsim, si adirerà come nella valle di Gabaon, per compiere la sua opera, la sua inaudita opera, per eseguire il suo lavoro, il suo lavoro insolito. |
| 22 | Maintenant, ne vous livrez point à la moquerie, De peur que vos liens ne soient resserrés ; Car la destruction de tout le pays est résolue ; Je l'ai appris du Seigneur, de l'Éternel des armées. | Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth. | Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth. | Or dunque non fate gli schernitori, perché i vostri legami non abbiano a rafforzarsi. Poiché io ho udito, da parte del Signore, l'Eterno degli eserciti, che è deciso un completo sterminio di tutto il paese. |
| 23 | Prêtez l'oreille, et écoutez ma voix ! Soyez attentifs, et écoutez ma parole ! | Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. | Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. | Porgete orecchio e ascoltate la mia voce, state attenti e ascoltate la mia parola! |
| 24 | Celui qui laboure pour semer laboure-t-il toujours ? Ouvre-t-il et brise-t-il toujours son terrain ? | Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? | Doth he that ploweth to sow plow continually? doth he [continually] open and harrow his ground? | L'agricoltore ara tutto il giorno per seminare? Continua forse a rompere e a sarchiare il suo terreno? |
| 25 | N'est-ce pas après en avoir aplani la surface Qu'il répand de la nielle et sème du cumin ; Qu'il met le froment par rangées, L'orge à une place marquée, Et l'épeautre sur les bords ? | When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? | When he hath levelled the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border thereof? | Quando ne ha appianato la superficie, non vi semina l'aneto e non vi sparge il comino, non vi mette il frumento a solchi, l'orzo nel luogo designato e il farro lungo i confini? |
| 26 | Son Dieu lui a enseigné la marche à suivre, Il lui a donné ses instructions. | For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. | For his God doth instruct him aright, [and] doth teach him. | Il suo DIO gl'insegna la regola da seguire e lo ammaestra. |
| 27 | On ne foule pas la nielle avec le traîneau, Et la roue du chariot ne passe pas sur le cumin ; Mais on bat la nielle avec le bâton, Et le cumin avec la verge. | For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. | For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp [threshing] instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. | L'aneto non si trebbia con la trebbiatrice né si fa passare sul comino la ruota del carro; ma l'aneto si batte con il bastone e il comino con la verga. |
| 28 | On bat le blé, Mais on ne le bat pas toujours ; On y pousse la roue du chariot et les chevaux, Mais on ne l'écrase pas. | Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen. | Bread [grain] is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it. | Il frumento per il pane deve essere schiacciato; perciò non lo si pesta per sempre, ma vi si fanno passare sopra la ruota del carro e i cavalli, senza però schiacciarlo. |
| 29 | Cela aussi vient de l'Éternel des armées ; Admirable est son conseil, et grande est sa sagesse. | This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working. | This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom. | Anche questo procede dall'Eterno degli eserciti, che è meraviglioso nel suo consiglio e grande in sapienza. |
