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 has believed what they heard from us, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been 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.
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 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.
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 porta nos maladies, et se chargea de nos douleurs, et nous le crûmes 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 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 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 Tous nous errions comme des brebis, nous suivions chacun notre voie, mais l'Éternel fit peser sur lui le crime 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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.
