BIBLES DES PEUPLES	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Cette parole de Yahvé me fut adressée:	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Fils d’homme, prophétise. Tu diras cette parole de Yahvé: Ah, quel jour!	2 “Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Wail: ‘Woe, woe to the day!’
3 Ce jour est proche, c’est l’heure de Yahvé, c’est le jugement des nations.	3 For the day is near, and the day of the Lord is approaching! It is a day of gloom; it will be the time of the Gentiles.
4 L’épée est venue en Égypte, Kouch en a tremblé; les victimes tombent en Égypte et ses fondations sont disloquées.	4 And the sword will come to Egypt. And there will be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded will have fallen in Egypt, and its multitude will have been taken away, and its foundations will have been destroyed.
5 Kouch, Pout et Loud, l’Arabie, Koub et les coalisés tombent ensemble sous l’épée.	5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the common people, and Chub, and the sons of the land of the covenant, will fall with them by the sword.
6 Les alliés de l’Égypte succombent, et de Migdol à Syène son orgueilleuse puissance s’effondre: ils tomberont sous l’épée, parole du Seigneur Yahvé.	6 Thus says the Lord God: And those who prop up Egypt will fall, and the arrogance of its reign will be brought down. They will fall in it by the sword, before the tower of Syene, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
7 Ils seront le plus ruiné des pays, leurs villes seront les plus saccagées des villes.	7 And they will be scattered into the midst of desolate lands, and its cities will be in the midst of cities that have been deserted.
8 On saura que je suis Yahvé lorsque je porterai le feu en Égypte et que tous ses alliés seront brisés.	8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have brought a fire into Egypt, and when all its helpers will have been worn away.
9 Des messagers iront jusqu’à Kouch, là-bas tous trembleront à la nouvelle de sa chute: ce jour vient.	9 In that day, messengers will go forth from my face in Greek warships, in order to crush the confidence of Ethiopia. And there will be dread among them in the day of Egypt; for without doubt, it will happen.
10 Voici ce que dit Yahvé: Je réduirai à rien les armées de l’Égypte par la main de Nabukodonozor, roi de Babylone.	10 Thus says the Lord God: By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, I will cause the multitude of Egypt to cease.
11 Je l’amènerai, lui et son monde, le tombeur des peuples, pour ravager le pays. Ils frapperont l’Égypte avec l’épée et le pays sera couvert de victimes.	11 He, and his people with him, the strongest of the Gentiles, will be brought forth in order to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords over Egypt. And they will fill the land with the slain.
12 Je mettrai ses canaux à sec, et je livrerai aux étrangers le pays et tout ce qu’il contient - parole de Yahvé.	12 And I will cause the channels of the rivers to dry up. And I will deliver the land into the hand of the most wicked. And by the hands of foreigners, I will utterly destroy the land and its plenitude. I, the Lord, have spoken.
13 Voici ce que dit encore Yahvé: Il n’y aura plus de seigneurs à Nof, plus de princes en Égypte ( ).	13 Thus says the Lord God: And I will destroy the graven images, and I will cause the idols of Memphis to cease. And there will no longer be a commander of the land of Egypt. And I will send terror upon the land of Egypt.
14 Je dévasterai Patros, je brûlerai Soan et je châtierai No.	14 And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and I will send a fire upon Tahpanhes, and I will execute judgments in Alexandria.
15 Je déchaînerai ma colère contre Sin, la forteresse de l’Égypte et je ferai disparaître la foule de No.	15 And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I will kill the multitude of Alexandria.
16 Je mettrai le feu à l’Égypte, Sin sera pris de tremblements, à No on ouvrira une brèche et les eaux se déverseront.	16 And I will send a fire upon Egypt. Pelusium will be in pain, like a woman giving birth. And Alexandria will be utterly destroyed. And in Memphis, there will be anguish every day.
17 Les jeunes d’On et de Pi-Béset tomberont sous l’épée: la ville ira en captivité.	17 The young men of Heliopolis and Pibeseth will fall by the sword, and the young women will be led into captivity.
18 À Tahpanhès le jour se changera en ténèbres lorsque je briserai le sceptre de l’Égypte et mettrai fin à sa puissance insolente; elle ne sortira pas du nuage, et ses villes connaîtront la déportation.	18 And in Tahpanhes, the day will grow black, when, in that place, I will break the scepters of Egypt. And the arrogance of her authority will fail within her; a gloom will cover her. Then her daughters will be led into captivity.
19 Je ferai rendre compte à l’Égypte, et l’on saura que je suis Yahvé.	19 And I will execute judgments in Egypt. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
20 En la onzième année, le 7 du premier mois, cette parole de Yahvé me fut adressée:	20 And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came, me, saying:
21 “Fils d’homme, j’ai brisé le bras de Pharaon roi d’Égypte, et personne n’est venu le soigner, lui appliquer un remède pour qu’il ait la force de reprendre l’épée.	21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And behold, it has not been wrapped, so that it might be restored to health; it has not been bound with cloths, or bandaged with linen, so that, having recovered strength, it would be able to hold the sword.
22 C’est pourquoi, voici ce que dit Yahvé: Je vais revenir contre Pharaon roi d’Égypte; je lui briserai le bras et je ferai tomber l’épée de sa main.	22 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will shatter his strong arm, which has already been broken. And I will cast the sword away from his hand.
23 Je disperserai les Égyptiens au milieu des nations, je les disséminerai parmi les pays.	23 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.
24 Je rendrai forts les bras du roi de Babylone et je placerai mon épée dans sa main; il en frappera l’Égypte et il s’en ira avec les dépouilles.	24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And I will put my sword into his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh. And they will groan acutely, when they are slain before his face.
25 Je rendrai forts les bras du roi de Babylone, et le Pharaon devra baisser les siens. On saura que je suis Yahvé lorsque je placerai mon épée dans la main du roi de Babylone et qu’il la lèvera contre l’Égypte.	25 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and when he will have extended it over the land of Egypt.
26 Je disperserai les Égyptiens parmi les nations, je les disséminerai parmi les peuples et l’on saura que je suis Yahvé.	26 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
