Isaïe 53
1 Qui a cru ce que nous avons entendu, et à qui le bras de Yahweh a-t-il été révélé?
Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
2 Il s’est élevé devant lui comme un frêle arbrisseau; comme un rejeton qui sort d’une terre desséchée; il n’avait ni forme ni beauté pour attirer nos regards, ni apparence pour exciter notre amour.
For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground. He has no form nor comeliness. And when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 Il était méprisé et abandonné des hommes, homme de douleurs et familier de la souffrance, comme un objet devant lequel on se voile la face; en butte au mépris, nous n’en faisions aucun cas.
He was despised, and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. And as him from whom men hide their face he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Vraiment c’était nos maladies qu’il portait, et nos douleurs dont il s’était chargé; et nous, nous le regardions comme un puni, frappé de Dieu et humilié.
Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. Yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 Mais lui, il a été transpercé à cause de nos péchés, broyé à cause de nos iniquités; le châtiment qui nous donne la paix a été sur lui, et c’est par ses meurtrissures que nous sommes guéris.
But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.
6 Nous étions tous errants comme des brebis, chacun de nous suivait sa propre voie; et Yahweh a fait retomber sur lui l’iniquité de nous tous.
All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned every one to his own way, and Jehovah has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 On le maltraite, et lui se soumet et n’ouvre pas la bouche, semblable à l’agneau qu’on mène à la tuerie, et à la brebis muette devant ceux qui la tondent; il n’ouvre pas la bouche.
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that is mute before its shearers, so he opened not his mouth.
8 Il a été enlevé par l’oppression et le jugement, et, parmi ses contemporains, qui a pensé qu’il était retranché de la terre des vivants, que la plaie le frappait à cause des péchés de mon peuple?
In his humiliation his justice was taken away. And as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
9 On lui a donné son sépulcre avec les méchants, et dans sa mort il est avec le riche, alors qu’il n’a pas commis d’injustice, et qu’il n’y a pas de fraude dans sa bouche.
And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death. Although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Il a plu à Yahweh de le briser par la souffrance; mais quand son âme aura offert le sacrifice expiatoire, il verra une postérité, il prolongera ses jours, et le dessein de Yahweh prospérera dans ses mains.
Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him. He has put him to grief. When thou shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
11 A cause des souffrances de son âme, il verra et se rassasiera. Par sa connaissance le juste, mon Serviteur, justifiera beaucoup d’hommes, et lui-même se chargera de leurs iniquités.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied. By the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 C’est pourquoi je lui donnerai sa part parmi les grands; il partagera le butin avec les forts. Parce qu’il a livré son âme à la mort et qu’il a été compté parmi les malfaiteurs; et lui-même a porté la faute de beaucoup, et il intercédera pour les pécheurs.
Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors. Yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
