Isaïe 53
1 Qui a cru à ce que nous avons fait entendre, et à qui le bras de l’Éternel a-t-il été révélé?
Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?
2 Il montera devant lui comme un rejeton, et comme une racine [sortant] d’une terre aride. Il n’a ni forme, ni éclat; quand nous le voyons, il n’y a point d’apparence [en lui] pour nous le faire désirer.
For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;
3 Il est méprisé et délaissé des hommes, homme de douleurs, et sachant ce que c’est que la langueur, et comme quelqu’un de qui on cache sa face; il est méprisé, et nous n’avons eu pour lui aucune estime.
Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.
4 Certainement, lui, a porté nos langueurs, et s’est chargé de nos douleurs; et nous, nous l’avons estimé battu, frappé de Dieu, et affligé;
But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.
5 mais il a été blessé pour nos transgressions, il a été meurtri pour nos iniquités; le châtiment de notre paix a été sur lui, et par ses meurtrissures nous sommes guéris.
But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.
6 Nous avons tous été errants comme des brebis, nous nous sommes tournés chacun vers son propre chemin, et l’Éternel a fait tomber sur lui l’iniquité de nous tous.
We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.
7 Il a été opprimé et affligé, et il n’a pas ouvert sa bouche. Il a été amené comme un agneau à la boucherie, et a été comme une brebis muette devant ceux qui la tondent; et il n’a pas ouvert sa bouche.
Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.
8 Il est ôté de l’angoisse et du jugement; et sa génération, qui la racontera? Car il a été retranché de la terre des vivants; à cause de la transgression de mon peuple, lui, a été frappé.
They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.
9 Et on lui donna son sépulcre avec les méchants; mais il a été avec le riche dans sa mort, parce qu’il n’avait fait aucune violence, et qu’il n’y avait pas de fraude dans sa bouche.
And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.
10 Mais il plut à l’Éternel de le meurtrir; il l’a soumis à la souffrance. S’il livre son âme en sacrifice pour le péché, il verra une semence; il prolongera ses jours, et le plaisir de l’Éternel prospérera en sa main.
And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ...
11 Il verra [du fruit] du travail de son âme, [et] sera satisfait. Par sa connaissance mon serviteur juste enseignera la justice à plusieurs, et lui, il portera leurs iniquités.
... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.
12 C’est pourquoi je lui assignerai une part avec les grands, et il partagera le butin avec les forts, parce qu’il aura livré son âme à la mort, et qu’il aura été compté parmi les transgresseurs, et qu’il a porté le péché de plusieurs, et qu’il a intercédé pour les transgresseurs.
For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.
