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?
Psaume de David, [donné] au maître chantre, [pour le chanter] sur Ajelet-Hassachar. Mon Dieu! mon Dieu! pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné, t'éloignant de ma délivrance, et des paroles de mon rugissement?
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 de jour, mais tu ne réponds point; et de nuit, et je ne cesse point.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Toutefois tu es le Saint habitant [au milieu des] louanges d'Israël.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
Nos pères se sont confiés en toi; 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 délivrés; ils se sont appuyés sur toi, et ils n'ont point 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.
Mais moi, je suis un ver, et non point un homme, l'opprobre des hommes, et le méprisé 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 me font la moue; 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!”
Il s'abandonne, disent-ils, à l'Eternel; qu'il le délivre, et qu'il le retire, puisqu'il prend son bon plaisir 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).
Cependant c'est toi qui m'as tiré hors du ventre [de ma mère], qui m'as mis en sûreté lorsque j'étais aux 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.
J'ai été mis en ta charge dès la matrice; tu es mon [Dieu] Fort dès le ventre de ma mère.
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 point de moi; car la détresse est près [de moi], et il n'y a personne qui me secoure.
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.
Plusieurs taureaux m'ont environné; de puissants [taureaux] de Basan m'ont entouré.
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 ont ouvert leur gueule contre moi, [comme] un lion déchirant 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 me suis écoulé comme de l'eau, et tous mes os sont déjoints; mon cœur est comme de la cire, s'étant fondu 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 vigueur est desséchée comme de la brique, et ma langue tient à mon palais, et tu m'as mis 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'ont environné, une assemblée de méchants m'a entouré; 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 compterais tous mes os un par un; ils me contemplent, ils me regardent.
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
Ils partagent entr’eux mes vêtements, et jettent le sort sur ma robe.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Toi donc, Eternel! ne t'éloigne point; ma force, hâte-toi de me secourir.
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 ma vie de l'épée, [délivre] mon unique de la patte 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]!
Délivre-moi de la gueule du lion, et réponds-moi [en me retirant] d'entre les cornes des licornes.
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 déclarerai ton Nom à mes frères, je te louerai au milieu de l'assemblée.
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 l'Eternel, louez le; toute la race de Jacob, glorifiez-le; et toute la race d'Israël redoutez-le.
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 point méprisé ni dédaigné l'affliction de l'affligé, et n'a point caché sa face arrière de lui; mais quand l'affligé a crié vers lui, il l'a exaucé.
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.
Ma louange commencera par toi dans la grande assemblée; je rendrai mes vœux en la 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 débonnaires mangeront, et seront rassasiés; ceux qui cherchent l'Eternel le loueront; votre cœur vivra à perpétuité.
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.
Tous les bouts de la terre s'en souviendront, et ils se convertiront à l'Eternel, et toutes les familles des nations se prosterneront devant toi.
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
Car le règne appartient à l'Eternel, et 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].
Tous les gens de la terre mangeront, et se prosterneront devant lui; tous ceux qui descendent en la poudre s'inclineront, même celui qui ne peut garantir sa 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, [et] sera consacrée au Seigneur d'âge en âge.
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 publieront sa justice au peuple qui naîtra, parce qu'il aura fait ces choses.
