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 chantre. Sur « Biche de l'aurore ». Cantique de David. Mon Dieu! mon Dieu! pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné, te tenant à l'écart pour ne point m'être en aide, et ne point ouïr quand je crie à rugir?
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! le jour, j'appelle, et tu ne réponds pas; et la nuit, et je n'obtiens pas 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, les louanges d'Israël environnent ton trône,
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
En toi nos pères mirent leur confiance, mirent leur confiance, et tu les délivras;
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 élevèrent leurs cris vers toi, et ils échappèrent; ils se confièrent en toi, et ne furent point confondus.
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 plus 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,
Je suis la dérision de tous ceux qui me voient; ils grimacent de leurs lèvres, et hochent la tête, [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 s'en remet à l'Éternel; qu'il le sauve! qu'il le délivre, puisqu'il lui est propice! »
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, tu m'as tiré du sein de ma mère, tu me donnais la sécurité auprès de 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.
je me reposai sur toi dès ma naissance, et dès le sein de ma mère tu as été 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 sois pas loin de moi! car l'angoisse est proche, car je suis sans 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.
Des taureaux puissants m'environnent, les farouches troupeaux de Basan me cernent,
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 leurs gueules contre moi, ainsi que des lions dévorants, rugissants.
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.
Comme les eaux je m'écoule, et tous mes os se séparent; mon cœur, comme de la cire, fond dans ma poitrine;
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, comme un têt, s'est séchée, et ma langue s'attache à mon palais, et 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, la bande des méchants m'enveloppe, [s'acharne] comme le lion, à mes mains et à 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; et eux, ils regardent et repaissent leurs yeux.
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, et ils tirent au sort mon manteau.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Mais, toi, Éternel, ne t'éloigne pas! toi, qui es ma force, accours à mon aide!
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
Arrache à l'épée mon âme, et aux chiens l'unique bien qui me reste!
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]!
Tire-moi de la gueule du lion, et contre les cornes des buffles garantis-moi.
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 je redirai ton nom à mes frères, et je te louerai au sein 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! Vous tous, race de Jacob, glorifiez-le, et tremblez devant lui, vous tous, race 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 ne rebuta point, ne dédaigna point la misère du misérable, et Il ne lui cacha point sa face, et Il écouta les cris qu'il élevait 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 chanté par moi dans la grande assemblée; j'accomplirai mes vœux devant 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 prendront part au festin, et seront rassasiés, et ceux qui cherchent l'Éternel, chanteront ses louanges; votre cœur vivra éternellement.
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.
Se rappelant ta mémoire, toutes les extrémités de la terre reviendront à toi, et toutes les tribus des peuples te rendront leur hommage;
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
car à l'Éternel est l'empire, et Il est le souverain 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 prendront part au festin, et adoreront, et l'on verra s'agenouiller tous ceux qui sont sur la pente du tombeau, et ceux qui ne peuvent soutenir 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 race future Le servira, et l'on parlera du 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!”
il en viendra qui publieront sa justice, et raconteront à la race naissante qu'il fut agissant.
