Ézéchiel 7
1 Et la parole du Seigneur vint à moi, disant:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Et toi, fils de l'homme, dis: Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: La fin est venue pour la terre d'Israël; elle est venue sur les quatre ailes de la terre.
“Son of man, this is what the Lord God says to the people living in Israel: The end is here! The end has arrived throughout the country.
3 La fin est venue
Now is the end for you! I'm going to direct my anger against you. I'm judging you for your actions and will pay you back for the offensive things you've done.
4 Pour toi, habitant de la terre; le temps est venu, le jour est proche; il est venu sans troubles et sans douleurs.
I won't have any pity for you, or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you'll know that I am the Lord.
5 Maintenant, à portée de ma main, je répandrai sur toi ma colère, j'assouvirai sur toi ma fureur, et je te jugerai pour tes voies, et je te rétribuerai pour toutes tes abominations.
This is what the Lord God says: Watch out! Disaster after disaster is coming!
6 Mon œil sera sans pitié, et je serai sans miséricorde; car je te rétribuerai selon tes voies, et tes abominations seront au milieu de toi; et tu sauras que je suis le Seigneur, et que c'est moi qui te frappe.
The end is here! The end has come, and it's coming for you! Watch out! This is the end!
7 Maintenant ta fin est proche; et j'enverrai mon jugement contre toi, et je te punirai dans tes voies, et je te rétribuerai pour toutes tes abominations.
You people living in the land, the consequences of your actions have come full circle. The time has come, the day is near— shouts of panic on the mountains and not shouts of joy.
8 Mon œil sera sans pitié, et je serai sans miséricorde; car je te rétribuerai pour tes voies, et tes abominations seront au milieu de toi, et tu sauras que je suis le Seigneur.
Very shortly I'm going to show you how angry I am with you. I will judge you by what you have done, and punish you for all your disgusting sins.
9 Car ainsi dit le Seigneur.
I won't have any pity for you or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is attacking you.
10 Voilà que la fin est venue, voilà le jour du Seigneur, puisque la verge a fleuri et que l'orgueil a germé.
Can't you see? The day is here! It has arrived! The consequences of your actions have come full circle—the walking stick has blossomed, pride has come into full bloom.
11 Et le Seigneur brisera la force de l'impie, et cela sans trouble et sans hâte.
Their way of violence has turned into a rod to punish them for their wickedness. None of them will survive—none of that whole crowd, and none of their wealth or honor.
12 Le temps est venu, voilà le jour. Que l'acheteur ne se réjouisse pas, que le vendeur ne se lamente pas.
The time has come; the day is here! Buyers, don't celebrate thinking you'll get a good deal; sellers, don't cry thinking you're going to make a loss—because punishment is coming to everyone.
13 Car l'acheteur ne retournera pas vers le vendeur, et l'homme ne prévaudra pas avec l'œil de sa vie.
Sellers won't ever get back the purchase price while they're still alive. I'm not going to change the plan I have revealed that applies to everyone. People who go on sinning won't survive.
14 Sonnez de la trompette, et choisissez entre toutes ces choses:
Even though the trumpet call to arms has sounded, even though all the preparations have been made, no one is ready to fight, because I am angry with everyone.
15 La guerre au dehors avec le glaive, la famine et la peste au dedans; celui qui est aux champs périra par le glaive; ceux qui seront dans la ville, la famine et la peste les consumeront.
Outside the city are armed attacks; inside are disease and starvation. Those in the countryside will be killed by the sword, and those in the city will be destroyed by starvation and disease.
16 Et parmi eux, ceux qui se seront enfuis seront sauvés, et ils resteront dans les montagnes. Mais les autres, je les tuerai, chacun dans son iniquité.
Those who do survive will escape and go to live in the mountains. They will sigh like the doves of the valley, each person thinking about their own sins.
17 Toute main sera défaillante, toute jambe souillée d'humeurs.
Every hand will go limp, and every knee will go weak.
18 Et ils ceindront des cilices, et l'effroi les couvrira; et tout visage sera confondu, et toute tête sera chauve.
They will put on clothes made of sackcloth, and they will be totally terrified. They will all be ashamed and shave their heads in mourning.
19 On jettera leur argent dans les rues, on méprisera leur or; et leurs âmes n'en seront pas assouvies, et leurs entrailles n'en seront point rassasiées; car le châtiment de leurs iniquités est venu.
They will throw away their silver in the streets and treat their gold as if it's something unclean. Their silver and gold won't be able to save them when the day of the Lord's anger comes. Their money won't satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs. In fact this was the problem that caused their sin in the first place.
20 Leurs ornements les plus précieux, ils s'en sont servis pour satisfaire leur orgueil; ils en ont fait les images de leurs abominations. C'est pourquoi je les regarde comme choses impures.
They were so proud of their beautiful jewelry that they used it to make their disgusting images and decorate their offensive idols. So I'm going to turn these idols into unclean things for them.
21 Et je les livrerai aux mains des étrangers, pour les mettre au pillage, et aux fléaux de la terre, pour en être la proie; et on les tiendra choses impures.
I'm going to hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked people of the earth, who will make them unclean.
22 Et je détournerai de ces hommes mon visage; et ils profaneront le lieu de mon repos, et ils y entreront avec insolence, et ils le profaneront.
I will look away as they make my precious place unclean. Men of violence will enter and make it unclean.
23 Et ils le bouleverseront; car la terre est pleine d'étrangers, et la ville pleine d'iniquités.
Get the chains ready, because the country is full of blood being spilled by violent crimes, and the city itself is full of violence.
24 Et je ferai taire les rugissements de leur force; et leurs choses saintes seront souillées.
So I'm going to bring the most evil of all the nations to take over their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the powerful, and their holy places will be made unclean.
25 Et l'expiation viendra, et chacun cherchera la paix, et il n'y en aura point.
Absolutely terrified, the people will look for peace, but won't find it.
26 Et il y aura malheur sur malheur, message sur message; on cherchera quelque vision de prophète, et la loi périra par le prêtre, et le conseil par les anciens.
Disaster after disaster will come down on them, and rumor after rumor. They will ask for a vision from a prophet, but there won't be any, and there won't be any instructions from the priests or advice from the elders either.
27 Le prince se revêtira de désolation; les mains du peuple seront paralysées. Je les traiterai selon leurs voies, et je les punirai selon leurs jugements, et ils sauront que je suis le Seigneur.
The king will mourn, the prince will be devastated, and no one in the country will know what to do. I will do to them as they have done to others; I will judge them as they have judged others. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
