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?
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné, t'éloignant de ma délivrance et des paroles de mon gémissement?
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 le jour, mais tu ne réponds point; et 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].
Cependant tu es le Saint, qui habites 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 en toi, 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 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.
Mais moi, je suis un ver, et non 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 raillent de moi; ils ouvrent la bouche, ils secouent 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 se repose sur l'Éternel, disent-ils, qu'il le délivre; qu'il le sauve, puisqu'il a mis en lui son affection.
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 de ma mère, et qui m'as fait reposer en paix sur sa mamelle.
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 remis en tes mains dès ma naissance; dès le sein de ma mère tu 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 la détresse est proche, car il n'y a personne pour me secourir!
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.
Des taureaux nombreux m'environnent; de puissants taureaux de Bassan m'entourent.
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 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 suis comme de l'eau qui s'écoule, et tous mes os se sont déjoints; mon cœur est comme 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 vigueur est desséchée comme la brique; ma langue est attachée à mon palais, et tu m'as couché 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 bande 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. Ils me considèrent et 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 entre eux mes vêtements; ils tirent ma robe au sort.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Toi donc, Éternel, ne t'éloigne pas!
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
Toi, ma force, accours à mon aide! Délivre mon âme de l'épée, mon unique bien de la patte des chiens!
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, retire-moi d'entre les cornes des buffles!
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].
J'annoncerai 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'Éternel, louez-le; toute la race de Jacob, glorifiez-le; 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; il ne lui a point caché sa face; mais il l'a exaucé quand il criait vers lui.
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.
Tu seras loué par moi dans la grande assemblée; j'accomplirai 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 humbles mangeront et seront rassasiés; ceux qui cherchent l'Éternel, 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 reviendront à l'Éternel; toutes les familles des nations se prosterneront devant ta face.
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
Car le règne appartient à l'Éternel, 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 riches de la terre mangeront aussi et se prosterneront; tous ceux qui descendent vers la poussière et celui qui ne peut conserver sa vie, s'inclineront devant lui.
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 de l'Éternel 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 raconteront sa justice au peuple qui naîtra, parce qu'il aura fait ces choses.
