Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
Pour le chef musicien; réglé sur « The Dœ of the Morning ». Un psaume de David. Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné? Pourquoi es-tu si loin de me secourir, et des paroles de mes gémissements?
2 My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
Mon Dieu, je crie pendant le jour, mais tu ne réponds pas; dans la saison de la nuit, et je ne suis pas silencieux.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Mais toi, tu es saint, vous qui habitez les louanges d'Israël.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
Nos pères avaient confiance en toi. Ils ont fait confiance, et vous les avez délivrés.
5 When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
Ils ont crié vers toi, et ils ont été délivrés. Ils ont eu confiance en vous, et n'ont pas été déçus.
6 But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
Mais moi, je suis un ver, et je ne suis pas un homme; un opprobre des hommes, et méprisé par le peuple.
7 Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
Tous ceux qui me voient se moquent de moi. Ils m'insultent de leurs lèvres. Ils secouent la tête en disant,
8 “He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
« Il se confie en Yahvé. Laissez-le le délivrer. Qu'il le sauve, puisqu'il se complaît en lui. »
9 [Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
Mais c'est toi qui m'as fait sortir du ventre de ma mère. Tu m'as fait confiance alors que j'étais aux seins de ma mère.
10 [It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
J'ai été jeté sur toi dès le sein de ma mère. Tu es mon Dieu depuis que ma mère m'a porté.
11 So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
Ne t'éloigne pas de moi, car le malheur est proche. Car il n'y a personne pour aider.
12 [My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
De nombreux taureaux m'ont entouré. De puissants taureaux de Bashan m'ont encerclé.
13 [They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
Ils ouvrent largement la bouche contre moi, des lions déchirant leur proie et rugissant.
14 I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
Je suis répandu comme de l'eau. Tous mes os sont déréglés. Mon cœur est comme de la cire. Il est fondu en moi.
15 My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
Ma force est desséchée comme un pot de fleurs. Ma langue se colle au palais. Tu m'as amené dans la poussière de la mort.
16 My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
Car les chiens m'ont entouré. Une troupe de malfaiteurs m'a enfermé. Ils ont percé mes mains et mes pieds.
17 [I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
Je peux compter tous mes os. Ils me regardent et me fixent.
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
Ils partagent mes vêtements entre eux. Ils ont tiré au sort mes vêtements.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Mais ne t'éloigne pas, Yahvé. Vous êtes mon aide. Dépêchez-vous de m'aider!
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
Délivre mon âme de l'épée, ma précieuse vie du pouvoir du chien.
21 Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
Sauve-moi de la gueule du lion! Oui, tu m'as sauvé des cornes des bœufs sauvages.
22 [But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
Je proclamerai ton nom à mes frères. Au milieu de l'assemblée, je te louerai.
23 You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
Vous qui craignez Yahvé, louez-le! Vous tous, descendants de Jacob, glorifiez-le! Restez en admiration devant lui, vous tous, descendants d'Israël!
24 He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
Car il n'a pas méprisé ni abhorré l'affliction des affligés, Il ne lui a pas non plus caché son visage; mais quand il a crié vers lui, il a entendu.
25 Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
Je te loue dans la grande assemblée. J'accomplirai mes vœux devant ceux qui le craignent.
26 The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
Les humbles mangeront et seront rassasiés. Ceux qui le cherchent loueront Yahvé. Que vos cœurs vivent à jamais.
27 I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
Toutes les extrémités de la terre se souviendront et se tourneront vers Yahvé. Tous les parents des nations se prosterneront devant toi.
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
Car le royaume appartient à Yahvé. Il est le chef des nations.
29 I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
Tous les riches de la terre mangeront et se prosterneront. Tous ceux qui descendent dans la poussière s'inclineront devant lui, même celui qui ne peut pas garder son âme en vie.
30 People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
La postérité le servira. On parlera du Seigneur aux générations futures.
31 People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
Ils viendront et annonceront sa justice à un peuple qui naîtra, car il l'a fait.
