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?
Au maître de chant. Sur " Biche de l'aurore ". Psaume de David. Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné? Je gémis, et le salut reste loin de moi!
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, et tu ne réponds pas; la nuit, et je n'ai point de repos.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Pourtant tu es saint, tu habites parmi les hymnes d'Israël.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
En toi se sont confiés nos pères; ils se sont confiés, et tu les as 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 sauvés; ils se sont confiés en toi, et ils n'ont pas été confus.
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.
Et moi, je suis un ver, et non un homme, l'opprobre des hommes et le rebut du 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 ouvrent les lèvres, ils branlent la tête:
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!”
" Qu'il s'abandonne à Yahweh! Qu'il le sauve, qu'il le délivre, puisqu'il l'aime! "
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).
Oui, c'est toi qui m'as tiré du sein maternel, qui m'as donné confiance sur les mamelles 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.
Dès ma naissance, je t'ai été abandonné; depuis le sein de ma mère, c'est toi qui es mon Dieu.
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 l'angoisse est proche, car personne ne vient à mon secours.
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.
Autour de moi sont de nombreux taureaux, les forts de Basan m'environnent.
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 contre moi leur gueule, comme un lion qui déchire et rugit.
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 comme de l'eau qui s'écoule, et tous mes os sont disjoints; mon cœur est comme de la cire, il se fond dans mes entrailles.
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 s'est desséchée comme un tesson d'argile, et ma langue s'attache à mon palais; tu me couches 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 des chiens m'environnent, une troupe de scélérats rôdent autour de moi; ils ont percé mes pieds et mes mains,
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 pourrais compter tous mes os. Eux, ils m'observent, ils me contemplent;
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
ils se partagent mes vêtements, ils tirent au sort ma tunique.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Et toi, Yahweh, ne t'éloigne pas! Toi qui es ma force, viens en hâte à mon secours!
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 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, tire-moi des cornes du buffle!
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].
Alors j'annoncerai 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 Yahweh, louez-le! Vous tous, postérité de Jacob, glorifiez-le! Révérez-le, vous tous, postérité 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, il n'a pas rejeté la souffrance de l'affligé, il n'a pas caché sa face devant lui, et quand l'affligé 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.
Grâce à toi, mon hymne retentira dans la grande assemblée, j'acquitterai mes vœux en présence de ceux qui te 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 affligés mangeront et se rassasieront; ceux qui cherchent Yahweh le loueront. Que votre cœur revive 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 Yahweh, et toutes les familles des nations se prosterneront devant sa face.
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
Car à Yahweh appartient l'empire, il domine sur les 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].
Les puissants de la terre mangeront et se prosterneront; devant lui s'inclineront tous ceux qui descendent à la poussière, ceux qui ne peuvent prolonger leur 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 à la génération future.
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 ils annonceront sa justice, au peuple qui naîtra, ils diront ce qu'il a fait.
