Isaïe 53
1 Qui a cru à notre message, et à qui le bras de l'Éternel 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 est monté devant l'Éternel comme un rejeton, comme une racine qui sort d'une terre desséchée. Il n'a ni beauté ni éclat qui nous le fasse regarder, ni apparence qui nous le fasse désirer;
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 Méprisé, délaissé des hommes, homme de douleurs et connaissant la souffrance; comme un homme devant qui on se couvre le visage; si méprisé que 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 Cependant il a porté nos maladies, et il s'est chargé de nos douleurs; et nous, nous pensions qu'il était frappé de Dieu, battu et affligé.
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 il était meurtri pour nos péchés, et frappé pour nos iniquités; le châtiment qui nous apporte la paix est tombé sur lui, et par sa meurtrissure nous avons la guérison.
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, nous suivions chacun son propre chemin, et l'Éternel a fait venir 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 Il est maltraité, il est affligé; et il n'ouvre point la bouche; comme un agneau mené à la boucherie, comme une brebis muette devant celui qui la tond, il n'ouvre point 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 retiré de l'angoisse et de la condamnation; et qui dira sa durée? Car il a été retranché de la terre des vivants; il a été frappé pour le péché 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 avait assigné sa sépulture avec les méchants, et dans sa mort il a été avec le riche; car il n'a point fait d'injustice, et il n'y a point eu de fraude en 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 Or il a plu à l'Éternel de le frapper; il l'a mis dans la souffrance. Après avoir offert sa vie en sacrifice pour le péché, il se verra de la postérité, il prolongera ses jours, et le bon plaisir de l'Éternel 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 Il jouira du travail de son âme, il en sera rassasié; mon serviteur juste en justifiera plusieurs, par la connaissance qu'ils auront de lui, et lui-même portera 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 son partage parmi les grands; il partagera le butin avec les puissants; parce qu'il a livré sa vie à la mort, qu'il a été mis au nombre des méchants, qu'il a porté les péchés de plusieurs, et intercédé 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.
