Isaïe 53
1 Qui a cru à ce qu’il a entendu de nous? et à qui le bras du Seigneur a-t-il été révélé?
(Who will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant]?/Hardly anyone will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant].) [RHQ] (Who will see what Yahweh does by his great power?/Very few people will see what Yahweh does by his great power.) [MTY, RHQ]
2 Et il montera comme une branche menue devant lui, et comme un rejeton d’une terre altérée; il n’a ni éclat ni beauté; et nous l’avons vu, et il n’avait pas un aspect agréable, et nous l’avons désiré;
While God watches, his servant will grow up [appearing/seeming to be very insignificant/unimportant], like a weak young plant that shoots up from a root [of a tree that is growing] in dry ground. There will be nothing beautiful or majestic about him, nothing that would cause us to want to be with him.
3 Méprisé, et le dernier des hommes, homme de douleur, et connaissant l’infirmité; son visage était comme caché, et méprisé, et nous l’avons compté pour rien.
People will despise and reject him. {He will be despised and rejected.} He will endure much pain, and he will suffer much. [Because his face will be very disfigured], people will not [want to] look at him; people will despise him and think that he is not worth paying any attention to.
4 Il a vraiment lui-même pris nos langueurs sur lui, et il a lui-même porté nos douleurs; et nous l’avons considéré comme un lépreux, frappé de Dieu et humilié.
But he will be [punished for] the sicknesses [of our souls]; he will endure great pain for us. But we will think that he is being punished by God, afflicted/punished [for his own sins].
5 Mais lui-même il a été blessé à cause de nos iniquités, il a été brisé à cause de nos crimes; le châtiment, prix de notre paix, est tombé sur lui; et par ses meurtrissures nous avons été guéris.
But his body will be bruised because of the evil things that we did, wounded because of our sins. He will be beaten in order that things will go well for our [souls]; and because he will be whipped, [our souls] can be healed.
6 Nous tous, comme des brebis, nous avons erré; chacun s’est détourné vers sa voie; et le Seigneur a mis sur lui l’iniquité de nous tous.
All of us have gone away [from God] like [SIM] sheep who have strayed away [from their shepherd]. We have turned away [from doing the things that God wants in order] to do the things that we wanted [MET]. [We deserve to be punished, but] Yahweh will punish him instead of punishing us for all of our sins.
7 Il a été offert parce que lui-même l’a voulu, et il n’a pas ouvert sa bouche; comme une brebis, il sera conduit à la tuerie, et comme un agneau devant celui qui le tond, il sera muet, et il n’ouvrira pas sa bouche.
He will be abused and caused to suffer, but he will not say anything [to complain]. They will lead him [to where they will execute him], [like they lead] a lamb to where it will be slaughtered. And like a sheep does not (bleat/make any noise) when the shearer [cuts off its wool], he will not say anything [MTY] [to defend himself when he is killed].
8 À la suite des angoisses et d’un jugement il a été enlevé; qui racontera sa génération? car il a été retranché de la terre des vivants; à cause du crime de mon peuple, je l’ai frappé.
After he is arrested and put on trial, he will be taken away [and executed]. And no one [RHQ] will be able to talk about his descendants, because he will die [EUP] [without being married and having children]. He will be (afflicted/caused to suffer) for the wrong things that we have done.
9 Et il donnera des impies pour sa sépulture, et un riche pour sa mort, parce qu’il n’a pas commis d’iniquité, et que la tromperie n’a pas été dans sa bouche.
Although he will never have done any wrong or deceived [MTY] anyone, people will plan to bury his corpse where wicked people are buried, but instead, a rich man will [bury him] after he dies.
10 Mais le Seigneur a voulu le briser dans son infirmité; s’il donne, pour le péché, son âme, il verra une race de longue durée, et la volonté du Seigneur, par sa main, sera dirigée.
But it will be Yahweh’s will that he be afflicted and caused to suffer. And [when he dies], Yahweh will cause him to be an offering to remove the guilt of sinners. But later he will have many [spiritual] children, and he will live (a long time/forever) after he [dies and] becomes alive [again], and he [MTY] will accomplish everything that Yahweh has planned.
11 De ce que son âme a souffert, il verra le fruit, et il sera rassasié; par sa science mon serviteur justifiera lui-même un grand nombre d’hommes, et leurs iniquités, lui-même les portera.
When he sees all that he will accomplish because of his suffering, he will be satisfied. And because of what will have happened to him, Yahweh’s righteous servant will cause the guilt of many people to be ended, because he will remove [the guilt for] their sins.
12 C’est pour cela que je lui départirai un très grand nombre d’hommes, et il distribuera les dépouilles des forts, parce qu’il a livré à la mort son âme, et qu’il a été compté parmi les scélérats; parce qu’il a porté les péchés d’un grand nombre, et qu’il a prié pour les transgresseurs.
So Yahweh will consider him to be one of the truly great people; he will [be like a king who] divides up [among his soldiers] the (spoils/things they took from their enemies after defeating them) [MET], because he will sacrifice himself and die. [Even though people] will consider him to be a sinner, he will remove the guilt of many [people], and he will intercede/pray that those who have done things that are wrong [will be forgiven].
