| 1 | Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. | A ta bouche la trompette ! Comme un aigle sur la maison de Yahweh !... Parce qu'ils ont transgressé mon alliance, et péché contre ma loi. | [Set] the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle [he cometh] against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. |
| 2 | Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. | Ils crient vers moi : "Mon Dieu ! nous t'avons connu, nous, Israël ! " | They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee. |
| 3 | Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. | Israël s'est dégoûté du bien ; que l'ennemi le poursuive ! | Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him. |
| 4 | They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. | Ils ont fait des rois, mais non de ma part; ils ont établi des chefs, mais que je n'ai pas connus ; de leur argent et de leur or ils ont fait des idoles, pour que l'argent et l'or leur fussent ôtés. | They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. |
| 5 | Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? | Ton veau m'a dégoûté, Samarie ; ma colère s'est enflammée contre eux ; jusques à quand ne pourront-ils être purifiés ? | He hath cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? |
| 6 | For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. | Car il vient d'Israël, lui aussi; un ouvrier l'a fabriqué, et ce n'est pas un Dieu ; car il sera mis en pièces, le veau de Samarie ! | For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. |
| 7 | For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. | Parce qu'ils ont semé le vent, ils moissonneront la tempête. Il n'y aura pas pour lui d'épi, mais du blé qui ne donnera pas de farine ; et, s'il en donne, les étrangers le dévoreront. | For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he hath no standing grain; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up. |
| 8 | Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. | Israël est dévoré ! maintenant ils sont devenus parmi les nations comme un objet sans valeur. | Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel wherein none delighteth. |
| 9 | For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. | Car eux-mêmes sont montés vers Assur; L'onagre vit à l'écart ; Ephraïm s'est acheté des amants. | For they are gone up to Assyria, [like] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. |
| 10 | Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. | Même s'ils font des présents aux nations, je les rassemblerai contre eux, et ils trembleront pour un peu de temps, sous le fardeau du roi des princes. | Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be diminished by reason of the burden of the king of princes. |
| 11 | Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. | Ephraïm a multiplié les autels en péchant, et ces autels l'ont fait tomber dans le péché. | Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been unto him for sinning. |
| 12 | I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. | Que j'écrive pour lui mille articles de ma loi, ils sont regardés comme une chose étrangère. | I wrote for him the ten thousand things of my law; but they are counted as a strange thing. |
| 13 | They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. | Les sacrifices qu'ils m'offrent, c'est de la viande qu'ils immolent, et ils la mangent ; Yahweh n'y prend point de plaisir. Maintenant il se souviendra de leur iniquité, et il punira leurs péchés; ils retourneront, eux, en Égypte. | As for the sacrifices of mine offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but Jehovah accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt. |
| 14 | For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. | Israël a oublié son auteur, et il a bâti des palais ; et Juda a multiplié ses villes fortes. J'enverrai le feu dans ses villes, et il dévorera ses châteaux. | For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof. |
