Isaiah 53
1 Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?
Qui a cru à ce qui nous était annoncé? Qui a reconnu le bras de l’Éternel?
2 For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;
Il s’est élevé devant lui comme une faible plante, Comme un rejeton qui sort d’une terre desséchée; Il n’avait ni beauté, ni éclat pour attirer nos regards, Et son aspect n’avait rien pour nous plaire.
3 Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.
Méprisé et abandonné des hommes, Homme de douleur et habitué à la souffrance, Semblable à celui dont on détourne le visage, Nous l’avons dédaigné, nous n’avons fait de lui aucun cas.
4 But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.
Cependant, ce sont nos souffrances qu’il a portées, C’est de nos douleurs qu’il s’est chargé; Et nous l’avons considéré comme puni, Frappé de Dieu, et humilié.
5 But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.
Mais il était blessé pour nos péchés, Brisé pour nos iniquités; Le châtiment qui nous donne la paix est tombé sur lui, Et c’est par ses meurtrissures que nous sommes guéris.
6 We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.
Nous étions tous errants comme des brebis, Chacun suivait sa propre voie; Et l’Éternel a fait retomber sur lui l’iniquité de nous tous.
7 Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.
Il a été maltraité et opprimé, Et il n’a point ouvert la bouche, Semblable à un agneau qu’on mène à la boucherie, A une brebis muette devant ceux qui la tondent; Il n’a point ouvert la bouche.
8 They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.
Il a été enlevé par l’angoisse et le châtiment; Et parmi ceux de sa génération, qui a cru Qu’il était retranché de la terre des vivants Et frappé pour les péchés de mon peuple?
9 And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.
On a mis son sépulcre parmi les méchants, Son tombeau avec le riche, Quoiqu’il n’eût point commis de violence Et qu’il n’y eût point de fraude dans sa bouche.
10 And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ...
Il a plu à l’Éternel de le briser par la souffrance… Après avoir livré sa vie en sacrifice pour le péché, Il verra une postérité et prolongera ses jours; Et l’œuvre de l’Éternel prospérera entre ses mains.
11 ... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.
A cause du travail de son âme, il rassasiera ses regards; Par sa connaissance mon serviteur juste justifiera beaucoup d’hommes, Et il se chargera de leurs iniquités.
12 For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.
C’est pourquoi je lui donnerai sa part avec les grands; Il partagera le butin avec les puissants, Parce qu’il s’est livré lui-même à la mort, Et qu’il a été mis au nombre des malfaiteurs, Parce qu’il a porté les péchés de beaucoup d’hommes, Et qu’il a intercédé pour les coupables.
