Isaías 18

Bible Bovet-Bonnet (1900)

2toi qui envoies par mer des messagers dans des nacelles de jonc sur la face des eaux ! Allez, messagers rapides, vers la nation à la taille élancée, à la peau rasée, vers le peuple redouté au loin, nation qui nivelle et qui écrase, et dont la terre est sillonnée de fleuves.

Reina-Valera 1909

2Que envía mensajeros por la mar, y en navíos de junco sobre las aguas! Andad, ligeros mensajeros, á la gente tirada y repelada, al pueblo asombroso desde su principio y después; gente harta de esperar y hollada, cuya tierra destruyeron los ríos.

King James Version

2That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

World English Bible

2that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, “Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!”
