Louis Segond 1910 (French) LSG
New International Version NIV
29 Il mettra sa bouche dans la poussière, Sans perdre toute espérance;
29
Let him bury his face in the dust— there may yet be hope.
30 Il présentera la joue à celui qui le frappe, Il se rassasiera d'opprobres.
30
Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace.
31 Car le Seigneur Ne rejette pas à toujours.
31
For no one is cast off by the Lord forever.
32 Mais, lorsqu'il afflige, Il a compassion selon sa grande miséricorde;
32
Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.
33 Car ce n'est pas volontiers qu'il humilie Et qu'il afflige les enfants des hommes.
33
For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.
34 Quand on foule aux pieds Tous les captifs du pays,
34
To crush underfoot all prisoners in the land,
35 Quand on viole la justice humaine A la face du Très-Haut,
35
to deny people their rights before the Most High,
36 Quand on fait tort à autrui dans sa cause, Le Seigneur ne le voit-il pas?
36
to deprive them of justice— would not the Lord see such things?
37 Qui dira qu'une chose arrive, Sans que le Seigneur l'ait ordonnée?
37
Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?
38 N'est-ce pas de la volonté du Très-Haut que viennent Les maux et les biens?
38
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?
39 Pourquoi l'homme vivant se plaindrait-il? Que chacun se plaigne de ses propres péchés.
39
Why should the living complain when punished for their sins?
