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, Seigneur, t'es-tu retiré au loin; et nous méprises-tu dans l'affliction et au temps du besoin?
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]!
Pendant que l'impie se gonfle d'orgueil, le pauvre se consume; les méchants seront pris dans les ruses qu'ils avaient 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 pécheur se loue des désirs de son âme, et l'injuste est comblé de biens.
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.
Le pécheur a irrité Dieu; dans la plénitude de sa passion, il n'aura garde de le chercher. Le Seigneur n'est point là devant lui.
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.
En tout temps ses voies sont souillées; tes jugements, mon Dieu, sont ôtés de devant sa face; et il prévaudra sur tous ses ennemis.
6 They think, “Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never have troubles!”
Car il a dit en son cœur: Je ne serai point ébranlé, et de génération en génération je serai sans mal.
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, d'amertume, de fourberies; la peine et la douleur sont sous sa langue.
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 tient en embuscade avec les riches, dans des lieux cachés, pour tuer l'innocent. Les yeux tournés sur le pauvre,
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 l'épie en secret, comme le lion dans son antre; il dresse là ses embûches pour le ravir, après l'avoir attiré.
10 Just like helpless animals are crushed, people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people are very strong.
Il le renversera dans ses filets; puis il se baissera et tombera sur lui, quand il se sera rendu maître des pauvres.
11 Wicked people say, “God will not pay any attention [to what we do]. His eyes are covered, so he never sees anything.”
Car il a dit en son cœur: Dieu a oublié; il a détourné sa face pour ne plus jamais voir.
12 Yahweh God, arise [and help us] Punish [IDM] those wicked people! And do not forget those who are suffering!
Lève-toi, Seigneur Dieu, lève ta main; n'oublie pas les pauvres!
13 Wicked people revile you [RHQ] continually. They think, “God will never punish us!”
Pourquoi l'impie a-t-il irrité Dieu? Car il a dit en son cœur: Il ne fera pas de recherches.
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].
Mais tu vois, tu es attentif à la peine et à la douleur, pour faire tomber dans tes mains les méchants; à toi seul le pauvre est confié, tu es le protecteur de l'orphelin.
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.
Broie le bras du méchant et du pécheur; son péché sera recherché, et on ne le trouvera plus.
16 Yahweh, you are our king forever, but [wicked] nations will disappear from the earth.
Le Seigneur régnera éternellement dans les siècles des siècles; et vous, Gentils, vous périrez sur la terre qui lui appartient.
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.
Le Seigneur a exaucé le désir des pauvres; ton oreille a entendu la préparation de leur cœur.
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.
Jugez l'humble et l'orphelin, afin que l'homme sur la terre ne continue pas de s'enorgueillir.
