Isaiah 50
1 This is [also] what Yahweh says: “You [Israeli children], do not think [RHQ] that I [forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia] [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled [was to punish you] because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].
Ainsi parle l’Eternel: "Où est l’acte de divorce de votre mère, par lequel je l’aurais répudiée? Auquel de mes créanciers vous ai-je vendus? Ah! Si vous avez été vendus, c’est à cause de vos fautes; si votre mère a été chassée, c’est à cause de vos péchés.
2 When I came to you [to rescue you], why did no one answer when I called out to you [RHQ]? Was there no one there [RHQ]? Or, did you think that I do not have the power [MTY] to rescue you [DOU]? Think about this: I can speak to a sea and cause it to become dry! I can cause rivers to become deserts, with the result that the fish in the rivers die from thirst and they rot.
Pourquoi suis-je venu et n’ai-je trouvé personne? Pourquoi ai-je appelé et nul n’a répondu? Mon bras est-il trop court pour la délivrance, et ne suis-je pas assez fort pour sauver? Par ma seule menace, je dessèche la mer, je change les fleuves en un sol aride, et les poissons pourrissent par manque d’eau, meurent par la sécheresse.
3 I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
Je revêts les cieux d’un crêpe et je les drape du sombre cilice.
4 Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY] in order that I may encourage those who are weary. Each morning he awakens me, in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.
Le Seigneur, l’Eternel, m’a doté du langage de ses disciples, pour que je sache relever par la parole les cœurs découragés; il dispose, matin après matin, il dispose mon oreille à écouter comme ses disciples.
5 Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.
Le Seigneur, l’Eternel, a ouvert mon oreille à sa parole; et moi je n’ai point regimbé, ni reculé d’un pas.
6 I allowed people to beat me on my back and to pull out the whiskers in my beard [because they hated me]. I did not turn away [MTY] from them when they made fun of me and spat on me.
J’Ai livré mon dos aux coups et mes joues aux violences; je n’ai point dérobé mon visage aux insultes et aux crachats.
7 But, because the Lord our God helps me, I will never be humiliated. Therefore, I am strongly determined [IDM] to face/endure difficulties, and I know that nothing will cause me to be ashamed.
Protégé par le Seigneur, l’Eternel, la honte ne pouvait m’atteindre! C’Est pourquoi, je me suis fait un visage dur comme le roc, je savais que je n’aurais point à rougir.
8 God, the one who vindicates me, is near to me; so if anyone [RHQ] stands in front of me and accuses me in a court, he will not be able [to show that I have done anything that is wrong].
Celui qui défend mon droit est proche, qui osera plaider contre moi? Comparaissons ensemble: qui est ma partie adverse? Qu’elle s’avance contre moi!
9 The Lord our God defends me [in court], so no one [RHQ] will be able to (condemn me/declare that I am guilty). All those who accuse me will disappear like [SIM] old clothes that have been eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches).
Oui, le Seigneur, l’Eternel, est mon soutien, qui osera m’inculper? Certes, ils seront tous comme un vêtement usé, que la mite dévore.
10 If you revere Yahweh and do what his servant tells you to do, even if you are (walking in darkness/enduring suffering), and it seems that [MET] there is no light, trust in Yahweh your God [DOU] [to help you].
Qui, parmi vous, révère l’Eternel, est attentif à la voix de son serviteur? Dût-il marcher dans les ténèbres, ne voir luire aucune lumière, qu’il se repose sur le nom du Seigneur, qu’il s’abandonne à son Dieu!
11 But you people who [oppose me], [who would like to throw] me into a blazing fire, walk in your own fires and burn yourselves with your own torches! This is what Yahweh will cause to happen to you: You will be enduring great torment when you die [EUP]!
Mais vous tous qui attisez la flamme, qui vous armez de torches incendiaires, allez dans le feu de votre propre brasier, sous les torches allumées par vous-mêmes; c’est ma, main qui vous réserve ce sort, vous serez étendus sur une couche de douleurs.
