Isaiah 53
1 YHWH, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of YHWH been revealed?
Qui a cru à ce qui nous était annoncé? Qui a reconnu le bras de l’Éternel?
2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nor special appearance that we should desire him.
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 He was despised, and rejected by people; a man of sorrows, and familiar with illness; and as one from whom people hide their face. He was despised, and we did not value 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 Surely he bore our diseases, and took our pains; yet we considered him stricken, and struck down by God, and afflicted.
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 he was pierced for our transgressions, and he was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.
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 like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and YHWH has laid on him the iniquity 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 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
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 In his oppression his justice was taken away. Who will consider his generation? For his life was cut off from the earth. For the transgression of my people he was led to death.
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 assigned his grave with the wicked, yet with the rich at his death, though he had committed no sin, nor was deceit found 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 Yet YHWH was pleased to crush him and make him ill. Although his soul is made a reparation offering, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and the desire of YHWH will succeed by 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 After the suffering of his soul he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, will make many righteous, and he will bear their iniquities.
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 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he will divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and he was numbered with transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for their transgressions.
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.
