BIBLES DES PEUPLESDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Paroles contre Ninive. Voici le livre de la vision de Nahum d’Elkoch.1 The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite.
2 Yahvé est un Dieu jaloux et vengeur; Yahvé se venge, sa colère est terrible. Yahvé se venge de ses adversaires, il n’oublie pas ses ennemis.2 The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is angry with his enemies.
3 Lent à la colère, Yahvé! Mais sa puissance est redoutable; Yahvé ne laissera rien passer. Il s’avance dans l’ouragan, dans la tempête; la nuée n’est que la poussière sous ses pas.3 The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord's ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Il menace la mer et la dessèche, il met à sec les cours d’eau; le Bashan et le Carmel perdent leur feuillage et la fleur du Liban se fane.4 He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the dower of Libanus fadeth away.
5 Il ébranle les montagnes et les collines disparaissent; la terre se soulève devant lui, le monde et tous ceux qui l’habitent.5 The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Qui peut tenir devant sa fureur, qui résistera si sa colère s’enflamme? Sa colère est un feu galopant, devant lui les roches se fendent.6 Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.
7 Yahvé est un trésor, une forteresse au jour du malheur. Il connaît bien ceux qui espèrent en lui,7 The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.
8 il les fait traverser lorsque les eaux débordent. Il extermine ceux qui le défient, il poursuit ses ennemis jusque dans les ténèbres.8 But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 Quel projet préparez-vous contre Yahvé? Il est fort pour exterminer: l’invasion du mal ne se répétera pas.9 What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.
10 Ils seront dévorés comme un fourré d’épines, consumés comme la paille sèche.10 For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry.
11 1:12 Voici ce que dit Yahvé: “Si forts et si nombreux soient-ils, ils seront arrachés et disparaîtront. Oui, Juda, si je t’ai humilié, je ne recommencerai plus;11 Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind.
12 1:13 Je vais briser de dessus toi le joug de Ninive, je te délivrerai de tes liens.”12 Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and many of them so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have afflicted thee, and I will afflict thee no more.
13 1:11 Yahvé enlèvera de Juda son ennemi, celui qui fait de méchants projets.13 And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder.
14 Voici ce que Yahvé a décidé pour lui: “Plus personne après lui pour porter son nom! J’ôterai les statues du temple de ses dieux, les idoles de métal fondu; je ferai de sa tombe un lieu maudit.”14 And the Lord will give a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and molten thing out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou art disgraced.
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: O Juda, keep thy festivals, and pay thy vows: for Belial shall no more pass through thee again, he is utterly cut off.
