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 message? To whom has the LORD’s arm 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 has no good looks or majesty. 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 suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect 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 has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, 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 for our transgressions. 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.
All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD 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 didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t 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?
He was taken away by oppression and judgement. As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
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 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 the LORD to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and the LORD’s pleasure will 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.
After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; 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 give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
