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'Éternel: Où est la lettre de divorce de votre mère, avec laquelle je la renvoyai? Ou auquel de mes créanciers vous ai-je vendus? Voici, c'est pour vos péchés que vous fûtes vendus, et pour vos crimes que votre mère fut répudiée.
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 personne n'était là? ai-je appelé, et personne n'a répondu? Eh! ma main serait-elle trop courte pour délivrer, ou suis-je sans force pour sauver? Voici, par ma menace je dessèche la mer, change les fleuves en désert; faute d'eau, leurs poissons sont fétides, et périssent de soif.
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'obscurité, et du cilice je fais leur couverture.
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'Éternel, m'a donné la langue des savants, pour que par la parole je sache soulager l'homme las: Il donne l'éveil chaque matin, chaque matin Il donne l'éveil à mon oreille, afin que j'écoute comme ceux qu'on enseigne.
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'Éternel, m'a ouvert les oreilles, et je n'ai point résisté, ni reculé:
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 épilateurs, et je n'ai dérobé mon visage ni aux outrages, ni aux crachements.
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.
Mais le Seigneur, l'Éternel, est mon aide; c'est pourquoi je n'eus point honte, c'est pourquoi je pris un visage pareil au caillou, sachant que je ne serais point confondu.
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 me justifie est près: qui disputerait contre moi? Comparaissons ensemble! Qui est ma partie? qu'il s'approche de 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).
Voici, le Seigneur, l'Éternel est mon aide, qui est-ce qui me condamnera? Voici, tous ils tombent en lambeaux comme un vêtement, la teigne les ronge.
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].
Quiconque parmi vous craint l'Éternel, qu'il soit docile à la voix de son serviteur! Quiconque marche dans l'obscurité, sans clarté, qu'il se confie dans le nom de l'Éternel, et s'appuie sur 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]!
Voici, vous tous qui allumez un feu, et vous armez de torches, tombez dans les flammes de votre feu et parmi les torches que vous avez allumées! C'est de ma main que vous recevrez ces choses; vous serez gisants dans la douleur.
