Isaías 30
Bible PGR
1Malheur aux enfants réfractaires, dit l'Éternel, qui prennent des mesures, mais non de par moi, et font des alliances, mais non d'après mon esprit, pour accumuler péché sur péché,
2qui se mettent en chemin pour l'Egypte sans me consulter, pour s'étayer de l'appui de Pharaon et se réfugier sous l'ombrage de l'Egypte !
3Car pour eux l'appui de Pharaon tournera en ignominie, et le refuge sous l'ombrage de l'Egypte en confusion,
4quoique leurs Princes soient à Tsoan, et que leurs députés aient atteint Chanès.
5Tous ont honte d'un peuple qui leur est inutile, dont ils ne tirent ni secours, ni profit, mais honte et confusion.
6Les bêtes de somme sont chargées pour le Midi ; par un pays de détresse et d'angoisse d'où viennent la lionne et le lion, la vipère et le serpent volant, ils portent sur la croupe des ânes leurs richesses, et sur le dos des chameaux leurs trésors, à un peuple dont ils n'auront nul profit.
7Car l'aide de l'Egypte est néant et vanité ; c'est pourquoi je l'appelle Grand tumulte pour ne point agir.
8Maintenant va, écris ces choses sur une table devant eux, et marque-les dans un livre, afin qu'elles se conservent pour l'avenir, en témoignage pour l'éternité.
9Car c'est un peuple rebelle, des enfants menteurs, des enfants qui ne veulent pas écouter la loi de l'Éternel,
10qui disent aux Voyants : « Ne voyez pas ! » et aux prophètes : « Ne nous prophétisez pas la vérité, dites-nous des choses flatteuses, prophétisez l'illusion !
11Sortez de la voie, quittez le sentier, débarrassez notre vue du Saint d'Israël ! »
12Aussi, ainsi parle le Saint d'Israël : Puisque vous méprisez cette parole, et que vous vous confiez dans ce qui est inique et pervers, et que vous vous y appuyez,
13à cause de cela ce crime vous sera comme une lézarde ruineuse qui fait saillie sur un mur élevé et en amène soudain tout à coup la chute,
14et il se brise comme se brise le vase du potier cassé sans pitié, dont les débris n'offrent pas un têt à prendre du feu au foyer, ou à puiser de l'eau à la fontaine.
15Car ainsi a parlé le Seigneur, l'Éternel, le Saint d'Israël : Dans le retour et le repos sera votre salut, dans la tranquillité et dans la confiance sera votre force ; mais vous n'avez pas voulu :
16vous avez dit : « Non ! mais sur des chevaux nous voulons nous mettre en course. » – C'est pourquoi vous serez mis en fuite ! – « Nous voulons monter des coursiers ! » – C'est pourquoi ils courront à votre poursuite.
17Mille fuiront à la menace d'un seul, et à la menace de cinq vous fuirez, jusqu'à ce que votre reste soit comme le signal au haut de la montagne, et comme l'étendard sur la colline.
18Aussi tarde-t-il à l'Éternel de vous être propice : aussi se lèverait-Il pour vous prendre en pitié, car l'Éternel est un Dieu juste : heureux tous ceux qui se confient en lui !
19Oui, peuple de Sion qui habites Jérusalem, tu n'as plus à pleurer ! Il veut t'être propice à ton cri d'alarme, et t'exaucer, dès qu'il l'ouïra.
20Et le Seigneur vous donnera du pain dans l'angoisse, et de l'eau dans la détresse, et tes docteurs ne devront plus se cacher, mais tes yeux regarderont tes docteurs,
21et tes oreilles écouteront la parole que derrière toi ils disent : « Voici le chemin ! marchez-y ! » quand vous allez à droite, et que vous allez à gauche.
22Alors vous souillerez le revêtement de vos idoles d'argent et les draperies de vos images d'or ; vous les jetterez comme de l'ordure ; hors d'ici ! leur direz-vous.
23C'est pourquoi Il vous donnera les pluies des semailles, quand vous ensemencez le sol, et le pain, produit du sol, sera savoureux et nourrissant, et en ce même temps les troupeaux brouteront dans des pacages spacieux.
24Et les bœufs et les ânes qui travaillent la terre, mangeront un fourrage salé qu'on vannera avec le van et la pelle.
25Et sur tout mont élevé et sur toute colline éminente il y aura des ruisseaux, des courants d'eau, au jour du grand massacre, de la chute des tours.
26Et la lumière de la lune sera comme l'éclat du soleil, et l'éclat du soleil sera sept fois plus grand, comme l'éclat de sept jours, quand l'Éternel bandera la plaie de son peuple et guérira les meurtrissures de ses coups.
27Voici venir de loin le nom de l'Éternel avec le feu de la colère et le terrible incendie ; ses lèvres sont pleines de fureur, et sa langue est comme une flamme dévorante,
28et son souffle comme un torrent débordé qui s'élève à hauteur d'homme, pour vanner les nations dans le van de la ruine, et mettre la bride de l'égarement entre les mâchoires des nations.
29Vous chanterez comme dans la nuit de la fête solennelle, et votre cœur aura la joie du pèlerin qui au son de la flûte se rend à la montagne de l'Éternel, au rocher d'Israël.
30Et l'Éternel fera entendre les éclats de sa voix, et voir le mouvement de son bras avec la fureur de la colère, le feu de la flamme dévorante, l'inondation et la tempête et les pierres de la grêle.
31Oui, à la voix de l'Éternel l'Assyrien tremblera, de sa verge Il le frappera.
32Et partout où passera la verge qu'il lui destine, et dont l'Éternel le battra, les cymbales et les harpes retentiront, et Il lui livrera des assauts impétueux.
33Oui, dès longtemps une Topheth est prête, même pour le roi elle est préparée, profonde et large : son bûcher a du feu et du bois en abondance, le souffle de l'Éternel comme un torrent de soufre l'allume.
Reina-Valera 1909
1¡AY de los hijos que se apartan, dice Jehová, para tomar consejo, y no de mí; para cobijarse con cubierta, y no de mi espíritu, añadiendo pecado á pecado!
2Pártense para descender á Egipto, y no han preguntado mi boca; para fortificarse con la fuerza de Faraón, y poner su esperanza en la sombra de Egipto.
3Mas la fortaleza de Faraón se os tornará en vergüenza, y el amparo en la sombra de Egipto en confusión.
4Cuando estarán sus príncipes en Zoán, y sus embajadores habrán llegado á Hanes,
5Se avergonzarán todos del pueblo que no les aprovechará, ni los socorrerá, ni les traerá provecho; antes les será para vergüenza, y aun para oprobio.
6Carga de las bestias del mediodía: Por tierra de tribulación y de angustia, de donde salen la leona y el león, la víbora y la serpiente que vuela, llevan sobre lomos de jumentos sus riquezas, y sus tesoros sobre corcovas de camellos, á un pueblo que no les será de provecho.
7Ciertamente Egipto en vano é inútilmente dará ayuda; por tanto yo le dí voces, que su fortaleza sería estarse quietos.
8Ve pues ahora, y escribe esta visión en una tabla delante de ellos, y asiéntala en un libro, para que quede hasta el postrero día, para siempre por todos los siglos.
9Que este pueblo es rebelde, hijos mentirosos, hijos que no quisieron oir la ley de Jehová;
10Que dicen á los videntes: No veáis; y á los profetas: No nos profeticéis lo recto, decidnos cosas halagüeñas, profetizad mentiras;
11Dejad el camino, apartaos de la senda, haced cesar de nuestra presencia al Santo de Israel.
12Por tanto el Santo de Israel dice así: Porque desechasteis esta palabra, y confiasteis en violencia y en iniquidad, y en ello os habéis apoyado;
13Por tanto os será este pecado como pared abierta que se va á caer, y como corcova en alto muro, cuya caída viene súbita y repentinamente.
14Y quebrarálo como se quiebra un vaso de alfarero, que sin misericordia lo hacen menuzos; tanto, que entre los pedazos no se halla tiesto para traer fuego del hogar, ó para coger agua de la poza.
15Porque así dijo el Señor Jehová, el Santo de Israel: En descanso y en reposo seréis salvos; en quietud y en confianza será vuestra fortaleza. Y no quisisteis,
16Sino que dijisteis: No, antes huiremos en caballos: por tanto vosotros huiréis. Sobre ligeros cabalgaremos: por tanto serán ligeros vuestros perseguidores.
17Un millar huirá á la amenaza de uno; á la amenaza de cinco huiréis vosotros todos; hasta que quedéis como mástil en la cumbre de un monte, y como bandera sobre cabezo.
18Empero Jehová esperará para tener piedad de vosotros, y por tanto será ensalzado teniendo de vosotros misericordia: porque Jehová es Dios de juicio: bienaventurados todos los que le esperan.
19Ciertamente el pueblo morará en Sión, en Jerusalem: nunca más llorarás; el que tiene misericordia se apiadará de ti; en oyendo la voz de tu clamor te responderá.
20Bien que os dará el Señor pan de congoja y agua de angustia, con todo, tus enseñadores nunca más te serán quitados, sino que tus ojos verán tus enseñadores.
21Entonces tus oídos oirán á tus espaldas palabra que diga: Este es el camino, andad por él; y no echéis á la mano derecha, ni tampoco torzáis á la mano izquierda.
22Entonces profanarás la cobertura de tus esculturas de plata, y la vestidura de tu vaciadizo de oro: las apartarás como trapo de menstruo: ¡Sal fuera! les dirás.
23Entonces dará el Señor lluvia á tu sementera, cuando la tierra sembrares; y pan del fruto de la tierra; y será abundante y pingüe; tus ganados en aquel tiempo serán apacentados en anchas dehesas.
24Tus bueyes y tus asnos que labran la tierra, comerán grano limpio, el cual será aventado con pala y criba.
25Y sobre todo monte alto, y sobre todo collado subido, habrá ríos y corrientes de aguas el día de la gran matanza, cuando caerán las torres.
26Y la luz de la luna será como la luz del sol, y la luz del sol siete veces mayor, como la luz de siete días, el día que soldará Jehová la quebradura de su pueblo, y curará la llaga de su herida.
27He aquí que el nombre de Jehová viene de lejos: su rostro encendido, y grave de sufrir; sus labios llenos de ira, y su lengua como fuego que consume;
28Y su aliento, cual torrente que inunda: llegará hasta el cuello, para zarandear las gentes con criba de destrucción; y el freno estará en las quijadas de los pueblos, haciéndoles errar.
29Vosotros tendréis canción, como en noche en que se celebra pascua; y alegría de corazón, como el que va con flauta para venir al monte de Jehová, al Fuerte de Israel.
30Y Jehová hará oir su voz potente, y hará ver el descender de su brazo, con furor de rostro, y llama de fuego consumidor; con dispersión, con avenida, y piedra de granizo.
31Porque Assur que hirió con palo, con la voz de Jehová será quebrantado.
32Y en todo paso habrá madero fundado, que Jehová hará hincar sobre él con tamboriles y vihuelas, cuando con batallas de altura peleará contra ellos.
33Porque Topheth ya de tiempo está diputada y aparejada para el rey, profunda y ancha; cuyo foco es de fuego, y mucha leña; el soplo de Jehová, como torrente de azufre, la enciende.
King James Version
1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
7For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
8Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
18And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
20And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
23Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
24The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
33For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
World English Bible
1“Woe to the rebellious children”, says the LORD, “who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;
2who set out to go down into Egypt without asking for my advice, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
3Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
5They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can’t profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.”
6The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.
7For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.
8Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
9For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the LORD’s law;
10who tell the seers, “Don’t see!” and the prophets, “Don’t prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
11Get out of the way. Turn away from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.”
12Therefore the Holy One of Israel says, “Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,
13therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
14He will break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won’t be found among the broken pieces a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.”
15For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,
16but you said, “No, for we will flee on horses;” therefore you will flee; and, “We will ride on the swift;” therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
17One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
18Therefore the LORD will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
19For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.
20Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won’t be hidden any more, but your eyes will see your teachers;
21and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”
22You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, “Go away!”
23He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.
24The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory feed, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
25There will be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
27Behold, the LORD’s name comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation. His tongue is as a devouring fire.
28His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. A bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.
29You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to the LORD’s mountain, to Israel’s Rock.
30The LORD will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
31For through the LORD’s voice the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.
32Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which the LORD will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
33For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, it is prepared for the king. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. The LORD’s breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
