Isaiah 53
1 Has anyone believed our news? Who has the Lord shown his power to?
Qui a cru ce que nous avons entendu, et à qui le bras de Yahweh a-t-il été révélé?
2 Like a young shoot he grew up before him, like a root growing up from dry ground. He had no beauty or glory to make us look at him; nothing about his appearance attracted us to him.
Il s’est élevé devant lui comme un frêle arbrisseau; comme un rejeton qui sort d’une terre desséchée; il n’avait ni forme ni beauté pour attirer nos regards, ni apparence pour exciter notre amour.
3 People despised him and rejected him. He was a man who really suffered and who experienced the deepest pain. We treated him like someone you turn away from in disgust—we despised him and had no respect for him.
Il était méprisé et abandonné des hommes, homme de douleurs et familier de la souffrance, comme un objet devant lequel on se voile la face; en butte au mépris, nous n’en faisions aucun cas.
4 However, he was the one who carried our weaknesses, he was loaded down with our pain—but we assumed he was being hit, beaten, and humiliated by God.
Vraiment c’était nos maladies qu’il portait, et nos douleurs dont il s’était chargé; et nous, nous le regardions comme un puni, frappé de Dieu et humilié.
5 But he was wounded because of our rebellious acts, he was crushed because of our guilt. He experienced the discipline that brings us peace, and his wounds heal us.
Mais lui, il a été transpercé à cause de nos péchés, broyé à cause de nos iniquités; le châtiment qui nous donne la paix a été sur lui, et c’est par ses meurtrissures que nous sommes guéris.
6 All of us have wandered off, just like sheep. Each of us has gone our own way, and the Lord allowed all our guilt to fall on him.
Nous étions tous errants comme des brebis, chacun de nous suivait sa propre voie; et Yahweh a fait retomber sur lui l’iniquité de nous tous.
7 He was persecuted and mistreated, but he didn't say anything. He was led like a lamb to be killed, and in the same way that a sheep about to be sheared is silent, he didn't say a word.
On le maltraite, et lui se soumet et n’ouvre pas la bouche, semblable à l’agneau qu’on mène à la tuerie, et à la brebis muette devant ceux qui la tondent; il n’ouvre pas la bouche.
8 Through force and a death sentence he was killed—who cared what happened to him? He was executed, removed from the land of the living; he was killed because of my people's wickedness.
Il a été enlevé par l’oppression et le jugement, et, parmi ses contemporains, qui a pensé qu’il était retranché de la terre des vivants, que la plaie le frappait à cause des péchés de mon peuple?
9 They buried him as if he was someone evil, giving him a grave among the rich, even though he hadn't done anything wrong, and he hadn't told any lies.
On lui a donné son sépulcre avec les méchants, et dans sa mort il est avec le riche, alors qu’il n’a pas commis d’injustice, et qu’il n’y a pas de fraude dans sa bouche.
10 However, it was the Lord's will for him to be crushed and to suffer, for when he gives his life as a guilt offering he will see his descendants, he will have a long life, and what the Lord wants will be achieved through him.
Il a plu à Yahweh de le briser par la souffrance; mais quand son âme aura offert le sacrifice expiatoire, il verra une postérité, il prolongera ses jours, et le dessein de Yahweh prospérera dans ses mains.
11 After his suffering, he will see the results and be satisfied. Through his knowledge my servant who does what is right will set many right, and he will bear their sins.
A cause des souffrances de son âme, il verra et se rassasiera. Par sa connaissance le juste, mon Serviteur, justifiera beaucoup d’hommes, et lui-même se chargera de leurs iniquités.
12 That's why I'm going to grant him a place among the great, and give him the prize of the victorious, because he poured out his life in death and was counted as one of the rebels. He took on himself the sins of many and asked forgiveness for the rebels.
C’est pourquoi je lui donnerai sa part parmi les grands; il partagera le butin avec les forts. Parce qu’il a livré son âme à la mort et qu’il a été compté parmi les malfaiteurs; et lui-même a porté la faute de beaucoup, et il intercédera pour les pécheurs.
