< 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]?
Éternel, pourquoi te tiens-tu à l'écart, te caches-tu dans des temps de 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 malheureux pâtit de l'orgueil des impies, il se prend dans les trames qu'ils ourdissent,
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 l'impie fait gloire de sa convoitise, et le ravisseur maudit, méprise l'Éternel.
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.
L'impie présomptueux est sans inquiétude: « Il n'y a point 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.
Le succès est sur sa route en tout temps; il n'élève point ses regards jusques à tes jugements; sur ses ennemis il souffle avec dédain.
6 They think, “Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never have troubles!”
Il dit en son cœur: « Je suis inébranlable, d'âge en âge à l'abri des revers. »
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 parjure, de fraude et de malice, et sa langue recèle la violence et la ruine.
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].
Posté en embuscade près des hameaux, en guet-apens il tue les innocents, et dans l'ombre son œil épie le malheureux.
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 guette de sa retraite, comme le lion de son repaire, il guette pour saisir le malheureux; il saisit le malheureux, 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 tapit, il se baisse, et entre ses griffes tombe le malheureux.
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: « Dieu oublie! Il voile sa face, et ne regarde jamais! »
12 Yahweh God, arise [and help us] Punish [IDM] those wicked people! And do not forget those who are suffering!
Debout! Éternel! ô Dieu, lève ta main! N'oublie pas les malheureux!
13 Wicked people revile you [RHQ] continually. They think, “God will never punish us!”
Pourquoi l'impie a-t-il pour Dieu ce mépris, dit-il en son cœur: « Tu ne recherches 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! car tu as l'œil sur la douleur et la peine, et tu l'inscris sur ta main; le malheureux s'en remet à toi; pour l'orphelin tu fus toujours un 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 de l'impie, et du méchant recherche le crime, afin que tu ne le retrouves plus!
16 Yahweh, you are our king forever, but [wicked] nations will disappear from the earth.
Le Seigneur est un Roi permanent, éternel; de son pays les nations sont exterminées.
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.
Éternel, tu entends les vœux des misérables, tu fortifies leur cœur, tu inclines ton oreille,
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.
tu fais droit à l'orphelin et au pauvre, afin que de la terre désormais l'homme ne te brave plus.
