King James Version with Apocrypha
1Tsophar de Naama prit la parole et dit:
1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2Mes pensées me forcent à répondre, Et mon agitation ne peut se contenir.
2Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
3J’ai entendu des reproches qui m’outragent; Le souffle de mon intelligence donnera la réplique.
3I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
4Ne sais-tu pas que, de tout temps, Depuis que l’homme a été placé sur la terre,
4Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5Le triomphe des méchants a été court, Et la joie de l’impie momentanée?
5That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
6Quand il s’élèverait jusqu’aux cieux, Et que sa tête toucherait aux nues,
6Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
7Il périra pour toujours comme son ordure, Et ceux qui le voyaient diront: Où est-il?
7Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
8Il s’envolera comme un songe, et on ne le trouvera plus; Il disparaîtra comme une vision nocturne;
8He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9L’œil qui le regardait ne le regardera plus, Le lieu qu’il habitait ne l’apercevra plus.
9The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10Ses fils seront assaillis par les pauvres, Et ses mains restitueront ce qu’il a pris par violence.
10His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
11La vigueur de la jeunesse, qui remplissait ses membres, Aura sa couche avec lui dans la poussière.
11His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
12Le mal était doux à sa bouche, Il le cachait sous sa langue,
12Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
13Il le savourait sans l’abandonner, Il le retenait au milieu de son palais;
13Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
14Mais sa nourriture se transformera dans ses entrailles, Elle deviendra dans son corps un venin d’aspic.
14Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
15Il a englouti des richesses, il les vomira; Dieu les chassera de son ventre.
15He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
16Il a sucé du venin d’aspic, La langue de la vipère le tuera.
16He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
17Il ne reposera plus ses regards sur les ruisseaux, Sur les torrents, sur les fleuves de miel et de lait.
17He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
18Il rendra ce qu’il a gagné, et n’en profitera plus; Il restituera tout ce qu’il a pris, et n’en jouira plus.
18That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be , and he shall not rejoice therein .
19Car il a opprimé, délaissé les pauvres, Il a ruiné des maisons et ne les a pas rétablies.
19Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
20Son avidité n’a point connu de bornes; Mais il ne sauvera pas ce qu’il avait de plus cher.
20Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
21Rien n’échappait à sa voracité; Mais son bien-être ne durera pas.
21There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
22Au milieu de l’abondance il sera dans la détresse; La main de tous les misérables se lèvera sur lui.
22In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
23Et voici, pour lui remplir le ventre, Dieu enverra sur lui le feu de sa colère, Et le rassasiera par une pluie de traits.
23When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
24S’il échappe aux armes de fer, L’arc d’airain le transpercera.
24He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
25Il arrache de son corps le trait, Qui étincelle au sortir de ses entrailles, Et il est en proie aux terreurs de la mort.
25It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
26Toutes les calamités sont réservées à ses trésors; Il sera consumé par un feu que n’allumera point l’homme, Et ce qui restera dans sa tente en deviendra la pâture.
26All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
27Les cieux dévoileront son iniquité, Et la terre s’élèvera contre lui.
27The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
28Les revenus de sa maison seront emportés, Ils disparaîtront au jour de la colère de Dieu.
28The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29Telle est la part que Dieu réserve au méchant, Tel est l’héritage que Dieu lui destine.
29This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
