Livre d'Ézéchiel 19

JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Et toi, prononce une complainte sur les princes d'Israël.	1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 Tu diras: Qu'était ta mère? Une lionne parmi des lions; couchée parmi les lionceaux, ellenourrissait ses petits.	2 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
3 Elle éleva un de ses petits, il devint un jeune lion, il apprit à déchirer sa proie, il dévora deshommes.	3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
4 Les nations en entendirent parler, il fut pris dans leur fosse; on l'emmena avec des crocs au paysd'Egypte.	4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
5 Elle vit que son attente était déçue, déçue son espérance. Elle prit un autre de ses petits, en fit unjeune lion.	5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
6 Il rôda parmi les lions, il devint un jeune lion; il apprit à déchirer sa proie, il dévora des hommes.	6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
7 Il démolit leurs palais, il détruisit leurs villes; le pays et ses habitants furent consternés au bruit deson rugissement.	7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
8 On dressa contre lui les nations, les provinces environnantes; elles étendirent sur lui leur filet, ilfut pris dans leur fosse.	8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
9 Avec des crocs ils le mirent en cage, ils le menèrent au roi de Babylone, ils le menèrent dans deslieux escarpés, pour qu'on n'entendît plus sa voix sur les montagnes d'Israël.	9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
10 Ta mère était semblable à une vigne, plantée au bord de l'eau. Elle était féconde et feuillue, grâceà l'abondance de l'eau.	10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
11 Elle eut des ceps puissants qui devinrent des sceptres royaux; sa taille s'éleva jusqu'au milieu desnuages; on l'admira pour sa hauteur et la quantité de ses branches.	11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
12 Mais elle a été arrachée avec fureur et jetée à terre; le vent d'est a desséché son fruit, elle a étébrisée, son cep puissant a séché, le feu l'a dévoré.	12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
13 La voici plantée au désert, au pays sec et aride,	13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
14 et le feu est sorti de son cep, il a dévoré ses tiges et son fruit. Elle n'aura plus son sceptrepuissant, son sceptre royal. C'est une complainte; elle servit de complainte.	14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
