Ezequiel 14
La Bible Crampon 1923
1Quelques-uns des anciens d'Israël vinrent auprès de moi et s'assirent devant moi.
2Et la parole de Yahweh me fut adressée en ces termes :
3" Fils de l'homme, ces gens-là ont dressé dans leur cœur leurs infâmes idoles, et ils mettent devant leur face le scandale qui les fait pécher : me laisserai-je interroger par eux ?
4C'est pourquoi parle-leur et dis-leur : Ainsi parle le Seigneur Yahweh : Quiconque de la maison d'Israël dresse en son cœur ses infâmes idoles et met devant sa face le scandale qui le fait pécher, s'il vient vers le prophète, moi, Yahweh, je lui répondrai par moi-même, comme le mérite la multitude de ses idoles,
5afin de prendre la maison d'Israël par son propre cœur, elle qui, avec toutes ses idoles infâmes, s'est détournée de moi.
6C'est pourquoi dis à la maison d'Israël : Ainsi parle le Seigneur Yahweh : Revenez et détournez-vous de vos idoles infâmes, et détournez votre face de toutes vos abominations.
7Car quiconque de la maison d'Israël ou des étrangers séjournant en Israël se détourne de moi, dresse dans son cœur ses infâmes idoles et met devant sa face le scandale qui le fait pécher, s'il vient vers le prophète afin qu'il m'interroge pour lui, moi Yahweh je lui répondrai moi-même.
8Je dirigerai ma face contre cet homme, je le détruirai pour faire de lui un signe et un proverbe ; je le retrancherai du milieu de mon peuple, et vous saurez que je suis Yahweh.
9Et si le prophète se laisse séduire et qu'il prononce quelque parole, c'est moi, Yahweh, qui aurai séduit ce prophète ; et j'étendrai ma main sur lui, et je l'exterminerai du milieu de mon peuple d'Israël.
10Ils porteront ainsi la peine de leur iniquité, — telle l'iniquité de celui qui interroge, telle l'iniquité du prophète, —
11afin que la maison d'Israël ne s'égare plus loin de moi, et qu'elle ne se souille plus par toutes ses transgressions. Alors ils seront mon peuple, et moi je serai leur Dieu, — oracle du Seigneur Yahweh. "
12La parole de Yahweh me fut adressée en ces termes :
13" Fils de l'homme, si un pays péchait contre moi par révolte, et si j'étendais ma main sur lui en brisant pour lui le bâton du pain, et si je lui envoyais la famine, en exterminant hommes et bêtes,
14et qu'il y eut ces trois hommes au milieu de ce pays, Noé, Daniel et Job,... eux sauveraient leur âme par leur justice, — oracle du Seigneur Yahweh.
15Si je faisais passer dans le pays des bêtes malfaisantes, et qu'il fût dépeuplé, et qu'il devint un désert où personne ne passerait à cause des bêtes,
16et qu'il y eût ces trois hommes au milieu de ce pays, je suis vivant, — oracle du Seigneur Yahweh : Ils ne sauveraient ni fils ni filles ; eux seuls seraient sauvés, mais le pays serait dévasté.
17Ou si je faisais venir l'épée sur ce pays, et que je dise : Que l'épée passe sur le pays !... en exterminant hommes et bêtes,
18et qu'il y eût ces trois hommes au milieu de ce pays, je suis vivant, — oracle du Seigneur Yahweh : Ils ne sauveraient ni fils, ni filles ; eux seuls seraient sauvés.
19Ou si j'envoyais la peste sur ce pays, et que je répandisse sur lui mon courroux dans le sang, en exterminant hommes et bêtes,
20et que Noé, Daniel et Job fussent au milieu de ce pays, je suis vivant, — oracle du Seigneur Yahweh : Ils ne sauveraient ni fils, ni filles, mais eux sauveraient leur âme par leur justice.
21Car ainsi parle le Seigneur Yahweh : Même quand j'aurai envoyé contre Jérusalem mes quatre châtiments terribles, l'épée, la famine, les bêtes malfaisantes et la peste, en exterminant hommes et bêtes,
22voici qu'il y aura un reste qui échappera, qui sortira de la ville, des fils et des filles. Voici qu'ils viendront vers vous ; vous verrez leur conduite et leurs œuvres, et vous vous consolerez du mal que j'aurai fait venir sur Jérusalem, de tout ce que j'aurai fait venir sur elle.
23Ils vous consoleront, quand vous verrez leur conduite et leurs œuvres, et vous saurez que ce n'est pas sans cause que j'aurai fait tout ce que je lui aurai fait, — oracle du Seigneur Yahweh. "

1Y VINIERON á mí algunos de los ancianos de Israel, y sentáronse delante de mí.
2Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
3Hijo del hombre, estos hombres han puesto sus ídolos en su corazón, y establecido el tropiezo de su maldad delante de su rostro: ¿acaso he de ser yo verdaderamente consultado por ellos?
4Háblales por tanto, y diles: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel que hubiere puesto sus ídolos en su corazón, y establecido el tropiezo de su maldad delante de su rostro, y viniere al profeta, yo Jehová responderé al que viniere en la multitud de sus ídolos;
5Para tomar á la casa de Israel en su corazón, que se han apartado de mí todos ellos en sus ídolos.
6Por tanto di á la casa de Israel: Así dice el Señor Jehová: Convertíos, y volveos de vuestros ídolos, y apartad vuestro rostro de todas vuestras abominaciones.
7Porque cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel, y de los extranjeros que moran en Israel, que se hubiere apartado de andar en pos de mí, y hubiere puesto sus ídolos en su corazón, y establecido delante de su rostro el tropiezo de su maldad, y viniere al profeta para preguntarle por mí, yo Jehová le responderé por mí mismo:
8Y pondré mi rostro contra aquel hombre, y le pondré por señal y por fábula, y yo lo cortaré de entre mi pueblo; y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.
9Y el profeta, cuando fuere engañado y hablare palabra, yo Jehová engañé al tal profeta; y extenderé mi mano sobre él, y raeréle de en medio de mi pueblo de Israel.
10Y llevarán su maldad: como la maldad del que pregunta, así será la maldad del profeta;
11Para que no yerren más la casa de Israel de en pos de mí: ni más se contaminen en todas sus rebeliones, y me sean por pueblo, y yo les sea por Dios, dice el Señor Jehová.
12Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
13Hijo del hombre, cuando la tierra pecare contra mí rebelándose pérfidamente, y extendiere yo mi mano sobre ella, y le quebrantare el arrimo del pan, y enviare en ella hambre, y talare de ella hombres y bestias;
14Si estuvieren en medio de ella estos tres varones, Noé, Daniel, y Job, ellos por su justicia librarán su vida, dice el Señor Jehová.
15Y si hiciere pasar malas bestias por la tierra, y la asolaren, y fuere desolada que no haya quien pase á causa de las bestias,
16Y estos tres varones estuvieren en medio de ella, vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, ni á sus hijos ni á sus hijas librarán; ellos solos serán libres, y la tierra será asolada.
17O si yo trajere espada sobre la tierra, y dijere: Espada, pasa por la tierra; é hiciere talar de ella hombres y bestias,
18Y estos tres varones estuvieren en medio de ella, vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, no librarán sus hijos ni sus hijas; ellos solos serán libres.
19O si pestilencia enviare sobre esa tierra, y derramare mi ira sobre ella en sangre, para talar de ella hombres y bestias,
20Y estuvieren en medio de ella Noé, Daniel, y Job, vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, no librarán hijo ni hija; ellos por su justicia librarán su vida.
21Por lo cual así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: ¿Cuánto más, si mis cuatro malos juicios, espada, y hambre, y mala bestia, y pestilencia, enviare contra Jerusalem, para talar de ella hombres y bestias?
22Sin embargo, he aquí quedarán en ella algunos residuos, hijos é hijas, que serán llevados fuera: he aquí que ellos entrarán á vosotros, y veréis su camino y sus hechos; y tomaréis consolación del mal que hice venir sobre Jerusalem, de todas las cosas que traje sobre ella.
23Y consolaros han cuando viereis su camino y sus hechos, y conoceréis que no sin causa hice todo lo que habré hecho en ella, dice el Señor Jehová.
King James Version
1Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
2And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
3Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
4Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
5That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
8And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
9And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;
11That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
12The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
13Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
14Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
15If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
16Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
17Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
18Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
20Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
21For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
22Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
23And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.

1Then some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.
2The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
3“Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be inquired of at all by them?
4Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him there according to the multitude of his idols,
5that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.”’
6“Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Return, and turn yourselves from your idols! Turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7“‘“For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me, I the LORD will answer him by myself.
8I will set my face against that man and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from among my people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
9“‘“If the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the LORD, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from among my people Israel.
10They will bear their iniquity. The iniquity of the prophet will be even as the iniquity of him who seeks him,
11that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God,” says the Lord GOD.’”
12The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
13“Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and animal—
14though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness,” says the Lord GOD.
15“If I cause evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it and it is made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the animals—
16though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters. They only would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.
17“Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and animal’—
18though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only would be delivered themselves.
19“Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal—
20though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness.”
21For the Lord GOD says: “How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem—the sword, the famine, the evil animals, and the pestilence—to cut off from it man and animal!
22Yet, behold, there will be left a remnant in it that will be carried out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they will come out to you, and you will see their way and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.
23They will comfort you, when you see their way and their doings; then you will know that I have not done all that I have done in it without cause,” says the Lord GOD.
