1 Proclamation La parole de Yahvé est au pays de Hadrak, à Damas elle fait halte. Car à Yahvéappartient la source d'Aram et toutes les tribus d'Israël.	1 The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach and its respite in Damascus. For the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is of the Lord.
2 Hamat aussi, qui en est la frontière, (Tyr) et Sidon, dont la sagesse est grande.	2 Hamath also is at its limits, and Tyre and Sidon. For, of course, they have assumed themselves to be exceedingly wise.
3 Tyr s'est construit une forteresse, amoncelant l'argent comme de la poussière et l'or comme la bouedes rues.	3 And Tyre has built herself a fortress, and she has piled together silver, as if it were soil, and gold, as if it were the mud of the streets.
4 Voici que le Seigneur en prendra possession, en mer il défera sa puissance, elle-même sera dévoréepar le feu.	4 Behold, the Lord will possess her, and he will strike her strength in the sea, and she will be devoured by fire.
5 Ashqelôn verra et prendra peur, Gaza aussi, qui se tordra de douleur, et Eqrôn, car son esprit estconfondu. Le roi disparaîtra de Gaza, dans Ashqelôn, plus d'habitants,	5 Ashkelon will see and be afraid. Both Gaza and he will be very sorrowful, as well as Ekron, because her hope has been confounded. And the king will pass away from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6 et un bâtard habitera Ashdod. Je détruirai l'orgueil du Philistin,	6 And the divider will sit in Ashdod, and I will scatter the arrogance of the Philistines.
7 j'ôterai son sang de sa bouche, ses abominations d'entre ses dents. Lui aussi sera un reste pour notreDieu, il sera comme un familier dans Juda, Eqrôn sera comme un Jébuséen.	7 And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth, and yet he will be left for our God, and he will be like a governor in Judah, and Ekron will be like a Jebusite.
8 Je camperai pour ma maison en avant-poste contre ceux qui vont et qui viennent, plus d'oppresseurpour passer sur eux, car maintenant mes yeux sont ouverts.	8 And I will encircle my house with those who serve me in war, going and returning, and the exactor will no longer pass over them. For now I have seen with my eyes.
9 Exulte avec force, fille de Sion! Crie de joie, fille de Jérusalem! Voici que ton roi vient à toi: il estjuste et victorieux, humble, monté sur un âne, sur un ânon, le petit d'une ânesse.	9 Rejoice well, daughter of Zion, shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your King will come to you: the Just One, the Savior. He is poor and riding upon a donkey, and upon a colt, the son of a donkey.
10 Il retranchera d'Ephraïm la charrerie et de Jérusalem les chevaux; l'arc de guerre sera retranché. Ilannoncera la paix aux nations. Son empire ira de la mer à la mer et du Fleuve aux extrémités de la terre.	10 And I will scatter the four-horse chariot out of Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be destroyed. And he will speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power will be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth.
11 Toi aussi, pour le sang de ton alliance, j'ai renvoyé tes captifs de la fosse où il n'y a pas d'eau.	11 You, likewise, by the blood of your testimony, have sent forth your prisoners from the pit, in which there is no water.
12 Revenez vers la place forte, captifs pleins d'espoir. Aujourd'hui même, je le déclare, c'est ledouble que je vais te rendre.	12 Turn back to the fortress, prisoners of hope. Today, I also announce that I will repay you double,
13 Car j'ai tendu pour moi Juda, j'ai garni l'arc avec Ephraïm; je vais exciter tes fils, Sion, contre tesfils, Yavân, et je ferai de toi comme l'épée d'un vaillant.	13 because I have stretched out Judah for myself, like a bow; I have filled Ephraim. And I will raise up your sons, Zion, above your sons, Greece. And I will set you as the sword of the strength.
14 Alors Yahvé apparaîtra au-dessus d'eux et sa flèche jaillira comme l'éclair. (Le Seigneur) Yahvésonnera de la trompe, il s'avancera dans les ouragans du sud.	14 And the Lord God will be seen over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning. And the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and he will go forth into the whirlwind of the South.
15 Yahvé Sabaot sera leur protection, ils dévoreront, ils piétineront les pierres de fronde, ils boirontle sang comme si c'était du vin, ils en seront gorgés comme un vase à aspersions, comme les angles de l'autel.	15 The Lord of hosts will protect them. And they will devour and subdue with the stones of the sling. And, when drinking, they will become inebriated, as if with wine, and they will be filled like bowls and like the horns of the altar.
16 Et il les sauvera, Yahvé leur Dieu, en ce jour-là, comme les brebis qui sont son peuple; oui, lespierres d'un diadème scintilleront sur sa terre.	16 And in that day, the Lord their God will save them as the flock of his people. For holy stones will be lifted up over his land.
17 Qu'il sera beau! Qu'il sera splendide! Le blé fera s'épanouir les jeunes gens et le vin doux, lesvierges.	17 For what is his goodness and what is his beauty, other than grain among the elect and wine springing forth virgins?
