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 what they heard from us, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh 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 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.
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 one familiar with pain. Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised; and we considered him insignificant.
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.
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.
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 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.
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; we have each turned to his own way, and Yahweh has placed 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 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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 life, he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. My righteous servant will justify many; 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 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.
