Ezekiel, 2

1. This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”

1. Il me dit: Fils de l`homme, tiens-toi sur tes pieds, et je te parlerai.

2. And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,

2. Dès qu`il m`eut adressé ces mots, l`esprit entra en moi et me fit tenir sur mes pieds; et j`entendis celui qui me parlait.

3. and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.

3. Il me dit: Fils de l`homme, je t`envoie vers les enfants d`Israël, vers ces peuples rebelles, qui se sont révoltés contre moi; eux et leurs pères ont péché contre moi, jusqu`au jour même où nous sommes.

4. And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’

4. Ce sont des enfants à la face impudente et au coeur endurci; je t`envoie vers eux, et tu leur diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l`Éternel.

5. Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.

5. Qu`ils écoutent, ou qu`ils n`écoutent pas, -car c`est une famille de rebelles, -ils sauront qu`un prophète est au milieu d`eux.

6. But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.

6. Et toi, fils de l`homme, ne les crains pas et ne crains pas leurs discours, quoique tu aies auprès de toi des ronces et des épines, et que tu habites avec des scorpions; ne crains pas leurs discours et ne t`effraie pas de leurs visages, quoiqu`ils soient une famille de rebelles.

7. Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.

7. Tu leur diras mes paroles, qu`ils écoutent ou qu`ils n`écoutent pas, car ce sont des rebelles.

8. But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”

8. Et toi, fils de l`homme, écoute ce que je vais te dire! Ne sois pas rebelle, comme cette famille de rebelles! Ouvre ta bouche, et mange ce que je te donnerai!

9. And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it. And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.

9. Je regardai, et voici, une main était étendue vers moi, et elle tenait un livre en rouleau.

10.

10. Il le déploya devant moi, et il était écrit en dedans et en dehors; des lamentations, des plaintes et des gémissements y étaient écrits.
