Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed what they heard from us, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
Qui a cru à ce qui nous était annoncé? Qui a reconnu le bras de l’Éternel?
2 For he grew up before Yahweh like a sapling, and like a sprout out of parched earth; he had no remarkable appearance or splendor; when we saw him, there was no beauty to attract us.
Il s’est élevé devant lui comme une faible plante, Comme un rejeton qui sort d’une terre desséchée; Il n’avait ni beauté, ni éclat pour attirer nos regards, Et son aspect n’avait rien pour nous plaire.
3 He was despised and rejected by people; a man of sorrows, and one familiar with pain. Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised; and we considered him insignificant.
Méprisé et abandonné des hommes, Homme de douleur et habitué à la souffrance, Semblable à celui dont on détourne le visage, Nous l’avons dédaigné, nous n’avons fait de lui aucun cas.
4 But surely he has borne our sicknesses and carried our sorrows; yet we thought he was being punished by God, struck by God, and afflicted.
Cependant, ce sont nos souffrances qu’il a portées, C’est de nos douleurs qu’il s’est chargé; Et nous l’avons considéré comme puni, Frappé de Dieu, et humilié.
5 But he was pierced because of our rebellious deeds; he was crushed because of our sins. The punishment for our peace was on him, and with his wounds we are healed.
Mais il était blessé pour nos péchés, Brisé pour nos iniquités; Le châtiment qui nous donne la paix est tombé sur lui, Et c’est par ses meurtrissures que nous sommes guéris.
6 We all like sheep have gone astray; we have each turned to his own way, and Yahweh has placed on him the iniquity of us all.
Nous étions tous errants comme des brebis, Chacun suivait sa propre voie; Et l’Éternel a fait retomber sur lui l’iniquité de nous tous.
7 He was oppressed; yet when he humbled himself, he did not open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
Il a été maltraité et opprimé, Et il n’a point ouvert la bouche, Semblable à un agneau qu’on mène à la boucherie, A une brebis muette devant ceux qui la tondent; Il n’a point ouvert la bouche.
8 By coercion and judgment he was condemned; who from that generation thought anymore about him? But he was cut off from the land of the living; because of the offenses of my people the penalty was put on him.
Il a été enlevé par l’angoisse et le châtiment; Et parmi ceux de sa génération, qui a cru Qu’il était retranché de la terre des vivants Et frappé pour les péchés de mon peuple?
9 They placed his grave with the criminals, with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor had there been any deceit in his mouth.
On a mis son sépulcre parmi les méchants, Son tombeau avec le riche, Quoiqu’il n’eût point commis de violence Et qu’il n’y eût point de fraude dans sa bouche.
10 Yet it was Yahweh's will to crush him and make him ill. When he makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and Yahweh's purpose will be accomplished through him.
Il a plu à l’Éternel de le briser par la souffrance… Après avoir livré sa vie en sacrifice pour le péché, Il verra une postérité et prolongera ses jours; Et l’œuvre de l’Éternel prospérera entre ses mains.
11 After the suffering of his life, he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. My righteous servant will justify many; he will bear their iniquities.
A cause du travail de son âme, il rassasiera ses regards; Par sa connaissance mon serviteur juste justifiera beaucoup d’hommes, Et il se chargera de leurs iniquités.
12 Therefore will I give him his portion among the multitudes, and he will divide the spoils with the many, because he exposed himself to death and was numbered with the transgressors. He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
C’est pourquoi je lui donnerai sa part avec les grands; Il partagera le butin avec les puissants, Parce qu’il s’est livré lui-même à la mort, Et qu’il a été mis au nombre des malfaiteurs, Parce qu’il a porté les péchés de beaucoup d’hommes, Et qu’il a intercédé pour les coupables.
