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, ô Eternel! te tiens-tu loin, [et] te caches-tu au temps [que nous sommes] dans 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]!
Le méchant par son orgueil poursuit ardemment l'affligé; [mais] ils seront pris par les machinations qu'ils ont préméditées.
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 du souhait de son âme, il estime heureux l'avare, et il irrite l'Eternel.
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 méchant marchant avec fierté ne fait conscience [de rien]; toutes ses pensées sont, qu'il n'y a point de Dieu.
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.
Son train prospère en tout temps; tes jugements sont éloignés de devant lui; il souffle contre tous ses adversaires.
6 They think, “Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never have troubles!”
Il dit en son cœur: je ne serai jamais ébranlé; car je ne puis avoir de 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 malédictions, de tromperies, et de fraude; il n'y a sous sa langue qu'oppression et qu'outrage.
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 aux embûches dans des villages; il tue l'innocent dans des lieux cachés; ses yeux épient le troupeau des désolés.
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 se tient aux embûches en un lieu caché, comme un lion dans son fort; il se tient aux embûches pour attraper l'affligé; il attrape l'affligé, l'attirant en son filet.
10 Just like helpless animals are crushed, people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people are very strong.
Il se tapit, et se baisse, et puis le troupeau des désolés tombe entre ses bras.
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 en son cœur: le [Dieu] Fort l'a oublié, il a caché sa face, il ne le verra jamais.
12 Yahweh God, arise [and help us] Punish [IDM] those wicked people! And do not forget those who are suffering!
Eternel, lève-toi, ô [Dieu] Fort! hausse ta main, et n'oublie point les débonnaires.
13 Wicked people revile you [RHQ] continually. They think, “God will never punish us!”
Pourquoi le méchant irriterait-il Dieu? Il a dit en son cœur que tu n'en feras aucune recherche.
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 l'as vu; car lorsqu'on afflige ou qu'on maltraite quelqu'un, tu regardes pour le mettre entre tes mains, le troupeau des désolés se réfugie auprès de toi; tu as aidé 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.
Casse le bras du méchant, et recherche la méchanceté de l'injuste, jusqu'à ce que tu n'en trouves plus rien.
16 Yahweh, you are our king forever, but [wicked] nations will disappear from the earth.
L'Eternel est Roi à toujours, et à perpétuité; les nations ont été exterminées de dessus 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.
Eternel, tu exauces le souhait des débonnaires, affermis leur cœur, [et] que ton oreille les écoute attentivement;
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 faire droit à l'orphelin et à celui qui est foulé, afin que l'homme [mortel], qui est de terre, ne continue plus à donner de l'effroi.
