Translation of "Juno" in French

"Come, jolly Bacchus, giver of delight; / kind Juno, come; and ye with fair accord / and friendly spirit hold the feast aright."

" Viens, Junon ! viens Bacchus, source aimable de joie ! / et vous, ô Tyriens, joignez-vous à mes vœux ! "

Veiled at her shrines in Phrygian hood we stand, / and chief to Juno, mindful of the seer, / burnt-offerings pay, as pious rites demand.

Puis, d'un voile sacré nous couvrons notre tête, / et déjà pour Junon notre offrande s'apprête : / le roi pontife ainsi nous l'avait ordonné.

"Here, girt with steel, the foremost in the fight, / fierce Juno stands, the Scaean gates before, / and, mad with fury and malignant spite, / calls up her federate forces from the shore."

" Ici, tonne en fureur l'implacable Junon : / debout, le fer en main, la vois-tu sous ces portes / appeler ses soldats ? Vois-tu de ces cohortes / l'Hellespont à grands flots lui vomir les secours ? "

- There was an ancient city; the Tyrian settlers held it: Carthage, standing afar opposite Italy and the mouths of the Tiber, rich in trade and very harsh in the study of war. Juno is said to have valued this one city more than all lands, even above Samos.
- There stood a city, fronting far away / the mouths of Tiber and Italia's shore, / a Tyrian settlement of olden day, / rich in all wealth, and trained to war's rough lore, / Carthage the name, by Juno loved before / all places, even Samos.

À l'opposé du Tibre et des champs d'Ausonie, / des riches Tyriens heureuse colonie, / Carthage élève aux cieux ses superbes remparts, / séjour de la fortune et le temple des arts. / Aucun lieu pour Junon n'eut jamais tant de charmes : / Samos lui plaisait moins.

- Because of fierce Juno's ever-remembering wrath, he was tossed about much by the power of the gods, both on land and the deep sea.
- Full many an evil, through the mindful hate / of cruel Juno, from the gods he bore, / much tost on earth and ocean.

Errant en cent climats, triste jouet des flots, / longtemps le sort cruel poursuivit ce héros, / et servit de Junon la haine infatigable. / Que n'imagina point la déesse implacable.

"Nay, Juno, too, who now, in mood malign, / earth, sea and sky is harrying, shall incline / to better counsels, and unite with me / to cherish and uphold the imperial line, / the Romans, rulers of the land and sea, / lords of the flowing gown. So standeth my decree."

" Junon même, Junon, qui, troublant l'univers, / arme encor contre vous l'air, la terre et les mers, / abjurant son dépit, et déposant sa haine, / un jour protègera la puissance romaine : / tel est l'arrêt du sort. "

- Scarcely out of sight of the land of Sicily, they joyfully set sail on the deep, rushing into the salt spray with their bronze-capped prows, when Juno, cherishing her eternal wound in her breast, said to herself: "Am I vanquished, to give up on my plan, and unable to turn away the king of the Teucrians from Italy? Surely I am forbidden by the Fates."
- Scarce out of sight of Sicily, they set / their sails to sea, and merrily ploughed the main, / with brazen beaks, when Juno, harbouring yet / within her breast the ever-ranking pain, / mused thus: "Must I then from the work refrain, / nor keep this Trojan from the Latin throne, / baffled, forsooth, because the Fates constrain?"

Cependant les Troyens, après de longs efforts, / des champs trinacriens avaient rasé les bords. / Déjà leurs nefs, perdant l'aspect de la Sicile, / voguaient à pleine voile, et de l'onde docile / fendaient d'un cours heureux les bouillons écumants ; / quand la fière Junon, de ses ressentiments / nourrissant dans son cœur la blessure immortelle, / " Quoi ! sur moi les Troyens l'emporteraient, dit-elle ! / Et de ces fugitifs le misérable roi / pourrait dans l'Italie aborder malgré moi ! / Le destin, me dit-on, s'oppose à ma demande : / Junon doit obéir quand le destin commande... "

- "This more, besides, I charge thee to obey, / if any faith to Helenus be due, / or skill in prophecy the seer display, / and mighty Phoebus hath inspired me true, / these warning words I urge, and oft will urge anew: / Seek Juno first; great Juno's power adore; / with suppliant gifts the potent queen constrain, / and winds shall waft thee to Italia's shore."
- Moreover, if Helenus has any foresight, if the seer may claim any faith, if Apollo fills his soul with truths, this one thing, Goddess-born, this one in lieu of all I will foretell, and again and again repeat the warning: mighty Juno’s power honour first with prayer; to Juno joyfully chant vows, and win over the mighty mistress with suppliant gifts. So at last you will leave Trinacria behind and be sped triumphantly to the bounds of Italy.

" Enfin, dans l'avenir s'il m'est permis de lire, / Hélénus ne peut trop le dire et le redire : / Junon fit tous tes maux et les prolonge tous : / de la reine des dieux désarme le courroux ; / n'épargne point l'encens, les vœux, ni la prière : / ainsi tu fléchiras cette déesse altière ; / et tes heureux vaisseaux des bords siciliens / parviendront sans obstacle aux ports ausoniens. "

- "But I, who walk in majesty as queen of the gods, both sister and wife of Jupiter, I am still waging wars with one tribe for all these years! And who will worship the divine spirit of Juno after this, or what suppliant will bring an offering to her altars?"
- "But I, who walk the Queen of Heaven confessed, / Jove's sister-spouse, shall I forevermore / with one poor tribe keep warring without rest? / Who then henceforth shall Juno's power adore? / Who then her fanes frequent, her deity implore?"

" Et moi, qui marche égale au souverain des cieux, / moi, l'épouse, la sœur du plus puissant des dieux, / armant contre un seul peuple et le ciel et la terre, / vainement je me lasse à lui livrer la guerre ! / Suis-je encore Junon ? et qui d'un vain encens / fera fumer encor mes autels impuissants ? "

- Juno then, as a suppliant, addressed him in these words: "Aeolus (for the father of the gods has granted you authority to calm the seas and to stir them up with the winds), a race hateful to me is sailing upon the Tyrrhenian sea, carrying Troy along with its conquered gods to Italy."
- Him now Saturnia sought, and thus in lowly strain: / "O AEolus, for Jove, of human kind / and Gods the sovran Sire, hath given to thee / to lull the waves and lift them with the wind, / a hateful people, enemies to me, / their ships are steering o'er the Tuscan sea, / bearing their Troy and vanquished gods away / to Italy."

Devant lui la déesse abaissant sa hauteur : / " Roi des vents, lui dit-elle avec un air flatteur, / vous à qui mon époux, le souverain du monde, / permit et d'apaiser et de soulever l'onde, / un peuple que je hais, et qui, malgré Junon, / ose aux champs des Latins transporter Ilion, / avec ses dieux vaincus fend les mers d'Étrurie.
