Isaías 29
Septante en francais
1Malheur à la ville d'Ariel, que David a combattue ! Assemblez vos récoltes ; encore une année, puis une année, ensuite vous mangerez, vous mangerez avec Moab.
2Car je briserai Ariel ; sa force et sa richesse seront à moi.
3Et je t'investirai comme a fait David, et je t'entourerai de palissades, et j'élèverai des tours autour de toi.
4Et tes paroles tomberont à terre ; et tes paroles seront enfouies dans la terre ; et ta voix sera comme celle des hommes qui la font sortir de terre, et tu n'auras qu'un filet de voix à rase terre.
5Mais la richesse des impies sera comme la poussière que soulèvent des roues, et la multitude de ceux qui t'oppriment, comme le duvet emporté par le vent. Et ce sera comme un moment insaisissable,
6Soudain, venu du Seigneur Dieu des armées ; car sa visite sera accompagnée de tonnerres, de tremblements de terre et de grands bruits ; tourbillon impétueux, flamme dévorante.
7Et la richesse de toutes les nations qui auront attaqué Ariel, et tous ceux qui auront combattu Jérusalem, et tous ceux qui se seront réunis contre elle et l'auront opprimée seront comme le songe d'un homme qui s'éveille.
8Comme ceux qui, dans le sommeil, boivent et mangent, et ils s'éveillent, et c'était un vain songe ; comme un homme qui s'était endormi altéré rêve qu'il boit, et se réveille avec sa soif, voyant que son âme a espéré en vain : telle sera la richesse de tous les Gentils qui auront porté les armes contre la montagne de Sion.
9Soyez dans l'étonnement, soyez hors de vous, et chancelez d'ivresse, non à cause des boissons fermentées ou du vin ;
10Mais parce que le Seigneur vous a abreuvés d'un esprit de componction ; et il vous fermera les yeux, et il aveuglera vos prophètes, vos princes et vos voyants, instruits des choses cachées.
11Et toutes ces choses seront pour vous comme les paroles de ce livre scellé que l'on donne à un homme qui sait lire, en lui disant : Lis cela ; et il dit : Je ne puis, car il est scellé.
12Et on donne ce livre à un homme qui ne sait pas lire, en lui disant : Lis cela ; et il dit : Je ne sais lire
13Et le Seigneur a dit : Ce peuple s'approche de moi en parole, et il m'honore des lèvres ; mais son cœur est loin de moi. Ils m'honorent en vain, enseignant la science et les maximes des hommes.
14A cause de cela, voilà que je vais encore transporter ce peuple ; je les transporterai, et je perdrai la sagesse des sages, et je tromperai la prudence des prudents.
15Malheur à ceux qui approfondissent leurs conseils, mais non avec le Seigneur ! Malheur à ceux qui méditent en secret ! ils feront leurs œuvres dans les ténèbres, et ils diront : Qui nous a vus ? et qui saura ce que nous faisons ?
16Ne serez-vous pas comptés comme l'argile du potier ? Est-ce que l'ouvrage dira à l'ouvrier : Tu ne m'as point façonné ? Est-ce que l'œuvre dira à l'artisan : Tu ne m'as pas faite avec intelligence ?
17Est-ce que dans peu de temps le Liban ne sera point changé comme le mont Carmel ? Est-ce que le mont Carmel ne sera pas réputé une forêt ?
18Et en ce jour les sourds entendront les paroles du livre, avec ceux qui sont dans les ténèbres et ceux qui sont dans les brouillards. Les yeux des aveugles verront ;
19Et à cause du Seigneur les pauvres tressailliront d'allégresse, et les hommes désespérés seront rassasiés de joie.
20L'injuste n'est plus, le superbe a péri ; ceux qui méchamment s'écartaient de la loi ont été exterminés ;
21Ainsi que ceux qui, par leurs discours, entraînaient les hommes à pécher ; et on tiendra à scandale tous ceux qui tendaient des pièges aux portes de la ville, parce qu'ils auront conduit le juste dans l'injustice.
22A cause de cela, voici ce que dit le Seigneur sur la maison de Jacob, qu'il avait retranchée d'Abraham : Jacob ne sera plus confondu, il ne changera plus de visage.
23Mais lorsque mes enfants auront vu mes œuvres, pour l'amour de moi, ils sanctifieront le Saint de Jacob, et ils craindront le Dieu d'Israël.
24Et ceux qui, en leur esprit, se sont égarés, connaîtront la vraie science ; ceux qui murmurent apprendront à obéir ; et les langues qui bégayent sauront dire des paroles de paix.
Reina-Valera 1909
1¡AY de Ariel, ciudad donde habitó David! Añadid un año á otro, mátense víctimas.
2Mas yo pondré á Ariel en apretura, y será desconsolada y triste; y será á mí como Ariel.
3Porque asentaré campo contra ti en derredor, y te combatiré con ingenios, y levantaré contra ti baluartes.
4Entonces serás humillada, hablarás desde la tierra, y tu habla saldrá del polvo; y será tu voz de la tierra como de pythón, y tu habla susurrará desde el polvo.
5Y la muchedumbre de tus extranjeros será como polvo menudo, y la multitud de los fuertes como tamo que pasa; y será repentinamente, en un momento.
6De Jehová de los ejércitos serás visitada con truenos y con terremotos y con gran ruido, con torbellino y tempestad, y llama de fuego consumidor.
7Y será como sueño de visión nocturna la multitud de todas las gentes que pelearán contra Ariel, y todos los que pelearán contra ella y sus ingenios, y los que la pondrán en apretura.
8Y será como el que tiene hambre y sueña, y parece que come; mas cuando despierta, su alma está vacía; ó como el que tiene sed y sueña, y parece que bebe; mas cuando se despierta, hállase cansado, y su alma sedienta: así será la multitud de todas las gentes que pelearán contra el monte de Sión.
9Deteneos y maravillaos; ofuscaos y cegad; embriagaos, y no de vino; titubead, y no de sidra.
10Porque Jehová extendió sobre vosotros espíritu de sueño, y cerró vuestros ojos: cubrió vuestros profetas, y vuestros principales videntes.
11Y os será toda visión como palabras de libro sellado, el cual si dieren al que sabe leer, y le dijeren: Lee ahora esto; él dirá: No puedo, porque está sellado.
12Y si se diere el libro al que no sabe leer, diciéndole: Lee ahora esto; él dirá: No sé leer.
13Dice pues el Señor: Porque este pueblo se me acerca con su boca, y con sus labios me honra, mas su corazón alejó de mí, y su temor para conmigo fué enseñado por mandamiento de hombres:
14Por tanto, he aquí que nuevamente excitaré yo la admiración de este pueblo con un prodigio grande y espantoso; porque perecerá la sabiduría de sus sabios, y se desvanecerá la prudencia de sus prudentes.
15¡Ay de los que se esconden de Jehová, encubriendo el consejo, y sus obras son en tinieblas, y dicen: ¿Quién nos ve, y quién nos conoce?
16Vuestra subversión ciertamente será reputada como el barro del alfarero. ¿La obra dirá de su hacedor, No me hizo; y dirá el vaso de aquel que lo ha formado, No entendió?
17¿No será tornado de aquí á muy poco tiempo el Líbano en Carmelo, y el Carmelo será estimado por bosque?
18Y en aquel tiempo los sordos oirán las palabras del libro, y los ojos de los ciegos verán en medio de la oscuridad y de las tinieblas.
19Entonces los humildes crecerán en alegría en Jehová, y los pobres de los hombres se gozarán en el Santo de Israel.
20Porque el violento será acabado, y el escarnecedor será consumido: serán talados todos los que madrugaban á la iniquidad.
21Los que hacían pecar al hombre en palabra; los que armaban lazo al que reprendía en la puerta, y torcieron lo justo en vanidad.
22Por tanto, Jehová que redimió á Abraham, dice así á la casa de Jacob: No será ahora confundido Jacob, ni su rostro se pondrá pálido;
23Porque verá á sus hijos, obra de mis manos en medio de sí, que santificarán mi nombre; y santificarán al Santo de Jacob, y temerán al Dios de Israel.
24Y los errados de espíritu aprenderán inteligencia, y los murmuradores aprenderán doctrina.
King James Version
1Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
4And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
World English Bible
1Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
2then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
3I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
4You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
6She will be visited by the LORD of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
7The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
9Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.
11All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed;”
12and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t read.”
13The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
14therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”
15Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from the LORD, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
16You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
17Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
18In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19The humble also will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—
21who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
22Therefore the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
23But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
