Psalms 10
1 Yahweh, (why are you far away [from us]?/it seems that you are far away [from us].) [RHQ] Why do you not pay attention when we have troubles [RHQ]?
Pourquoi, Yahweh, te tiens-tu éloigné? et te caches-tu au temps de la détresse?
2 People who are proud gladly cause poor people to suffer. So [cause what they do to others to happen to them]! May they be caught in the [same] traps that they set to catch others [MET]!
Quand le méchant s’enorgueillit, les malheureux sont consumés; ils sont pris dans les intrigues qu’il a conçues.
3 They brag about the [evil] things that they want to do. They praise people who seize from others things that do not belong to them, and they curse you, Yahweh.
Car le méchant se glorifie de sa convoitise; le ravisseur maudit, méprise Yahweh.
4 Wicked people are very proud. As a result, they do not (seek help from/are not concerned about) God; they do not even think that God exists.
Dans son arrogance, le méchant dit: « Il ne punit pas! » « Il n’y a pas de Dieu «: voilà toutes ses pensées.
5 But [it seems that] they succeed in everything that they do. They do not think that they will be condemned/punished for their deeds, and they (sneer at/make fun of) their enemies.
Ses voies sont prospères en tout temps! Tes jugements sont trop élevés pour qu’il s’en inquiète; tous ses adversaires, il les dissipe d’un souffle.
6 They think, “Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never have troubles!”
Il dit dans son cœur: « Je ne serai pas ébranlé, je suis pour toujours à l’abri du malheur. »
7 When they talk [MTY], they are always cursing, lying, and threatening to harm others. They constantly say [MTY] evil things that show that they are ready to do cruel things to others.
Sa bouche est pleine de malédiction, de tromperie et de violence; sous sa langue est la malice et l’iniquité.
8 They hide in villages, ready to (ambush/suddenly attack) and kill people who (are innocent/have done nothing wrong). They constantly search for people who will not be able to (resist/defend themselves) [when they are attacked].
Il se met en embuscade près des hameaux, dans les lieux couverts il assassine l’innocent. Ses yeux épient l’homme sans défense,
9 They are like [MET] lions that crouch down and hide, waiting to pounce on their prey. They are like hunters that catch their prey with a net and then drag it away.
il est aux aguets dans le lieu couvert, comme un lion dans son fourré; il est aux aguets pour surprendre le pauvre, il se saisit du pauvre en le tirant dans son filet.
10 Just like helpless animals are crushed, people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people are very strong.
Il se courbe, il se baisse, et les malheureux tombent dans ses griffes.
11 Wicked people say, “God will not pay any attention [to what we do]. His eyes are covered, so he never sees anything.”
Il dit dans son cœur: « Dieu a oublié! Il a couvert sa face, il ne voit jamais rien. »
12 Yahweh God, arise [and help us] Punish [IDM] those wicked people! And do not forget those who are suffering!
Lève-toi, Yahweh; ô Dieu, lève ta main! N’oublie pas les affligés.
13 Wicked people revile you [RHQ] continually. They think, “God will never punish us!”
Pourquoi le méchant méprise-t-il Dieu? Pourquoi dit-il en son cœur: « Tu ne punis pas? »
14 But you see the trouble and the distress [that they cause]. People who are suffering expect that you will help them; and you help orphans, [also].
Tu as vu pourtant; car tu regardes la peine et la souffrance, pour prendre en main leur cause. A toi s’abandonne le malheureux, à l’orphelin tu viens en aide.
15 (Break the arms/Destroy the power) of wicked [DOU] people! Continue to pursue and punish them for the wicked things that they do, until they stop doing those things.
Brise le bras du méchant; l’impie, — si tu cherches son crime, ne le trouveras-tu pas?
16 Yahweh, you are our king forever, but [wicked] nations will disappear from the earth.
Yahweh est roi à jamais et pour l’éternité, les nations seront exterminées de sa terre.
17 You have listened to afflicted/suffering people when they cry out to you. You hear them [when they pray], and you encourage [IDM] them.
Tu as entendu le désir des affligés, Yahweh; tu affermis leur cœur, tu prêtes une oreille attentive,
18 You show that orphans and oppressed people have not done things that are wrong, with the result that human beings will not cause people to be terrified any more.
pour rendre justice à l’orphelin et à l’opprimé, afin que l’homme, tiré de la terre, cesse d’inspirer l’effroi.
