Isaïe 53
1 Qui ajoute foi à ce que nous annonçons, et pour qui le bras de l'Éternel a-t-il été manifeste?
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 Il croît devant Lui comme un rejeton, et comme une racine, d'un sol aride. Il n'a ni beauté, ni éclat pour attirer nos regards, ni apparence, pour exciter nos désirs.
And he shall grow up as a tender plant before him, and as a root out of a thirsty ground: there is no beauty in him, nor comeliness: and we have seen him, and there was no sightliness, that we should be desirous of him:
3 Il est méprisé et délaissé des hommes, homme de douleurs, et familiarisé avec la maladie, et méprisé comme celui qui se cache le visage devant nous, et nous ne fîmes aucun cas de lui.
Despised, and the most abject of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with infirmity: and his look was as it were hidden and despised, whereupon we esteemed him not.
4 Cependant il porta nos maladies, et se chargea de nos douleurs, et nous le crûmes puni, frappé de Dieu et humilié.
Surely he hath borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows: and we have thought him as it were a leper, and as one struck by God and afflicted.
5 Mais il était percé pour nos péchés, brisé pour nos crimes, le châtiment qui nous sauve tombait sur lui, et c'est par ses plaies que nous sommes guéris.
But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed.
6 Tous nous errions comme des brebis, nous suivions chacun notre voie, mais l'Éternel fit peser sur lui le crime de nous tous.
All we like sheep have gone astray, every one hath turned aside into his own way: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Il fut maltraité et il fut humilié, et n'ouvrit pas la bouche, tel que l'agneau mené à la boucherie et telle qu'une brebis muette devant ceux qui la tondent, et il n'ouvrit pas la bouche.
He was offered because it was his own will, and he opened not his mouth: he shall be led as a sheep to the slaughter, and shall be dumb as a lamb before his shearer, and he shall not open his mouth.
8 A l'angoisse et au jugement il est arraché: et qui dira sa durée? car il est retranché de la terre des vivants, pour le crime de mon peuple il a été frappé.
He was taken away from distress, and from judgment: who shall declare his generation? because he is cut off out of the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I struck him.
9 On lui assigna son tombeau à côté des impies, mais dans sa mort il fut avec le riche, car il ne commit point de violences et dans sa bouche il n'y eut point de fraude.
And he shall give the ungodly for his burial, and the rich for his death: because he hath done no iniquity, neither was there deceit in his mouth.
10 Et il plut à Dieu de le briser par la maladie. Mais après avoir donné sa vie en expiation, il verra une postérité et prolongera ses jours, et l'œuvre de l'Éternel prospérera entre ses mains.
And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand.
11 Délivré des peines de son âme, il pourra rassasier ses regards; par sa connaissance mon serviteur juste en justifiera plusieurs, et de leurs crimes il se chargera.
Because his soul hath laboured, he shall see and be filled: by his knowledge shall this my just servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Aussi je lui donnerai son lot parmi les puissants, et avec les braves il partagera le butin, parce qu'il dévoua son âme à la mort, et qu'il fut mis au nombre des malfaiteurs, pour avoir pris sur lui les péchés de plusieurs, et intercédé pour les criminels.
Therefore will I distribute to him very many, and he shall divide the spoils of the strong, because he hath delivered his soul unto death, and was reputed with the wicked: and he hath borne the sins of many, and hath prayed for the transgressors.
