Isaïe 53
1 Qui a cru ce que nous avons entendu, et à qui le bras de Yahweh a-t-il été révélé?
Jehovah, who has believed our message? 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 dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nor special appearance 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 people; a man of sorrows, and familiar with illness; and as one from whom people hide their face. He was despised, and we did not value him.
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 bore our diseases, and took our pains; yet we considered him stricken, and struck down 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 pierced for our transgressions, and he was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds 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.
We all like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned 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 did not open his mouth. He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open 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 oppression his justice was taken away. Who will consider his generation? For his life was cut off from the earth. For the transgression of my people he was led to death.
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 assigned his grave with the wicked, yet with the rich at his death, though he had committed no sin, nor was deceit found 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 Jehovah was pleased to crush him and make him ill. Although his soul is made a reparation offering, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and the desire of Jehovah will succeed by 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.
After the suffering of his soul he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, will make many righteous, and he will 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 will divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and he was numbered with transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for their transgressions.
