Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Qui a cru ce que nous avons entendu, et à qui le bras de Yahweh a-t-il été révélé?
2 And he will rise up like a tender plant in his sight, and like a root from the thirsty ground. There is no beautiful or stately appearance in him. For we looked upon him, and there was no aspect, such that we would desire him.
Il s'est élevé devant lui comme un frêle arbrisseau; comme un rejeton qui sort d'une terre desséchée; il n'avait ni forme ni beauté pour attirer nos regards, ni apparence pour exciter notre amour.
3 He is despised and the least among men, a man of sorrows who knows infirmity. And his countenance was hidden and despised. Because of this, we did not esteem him.
Il était méprisé et abandonné des hommes, homme de douleurs et familier de la souffrance, comme un objet devant lequel on se voile la face; en butte au mépris, nous n'en faisions aucun cas.
4 Truly, he has taken away our weaknesses, and he himself has carried our sorrows. And we thought of him as if he were a leper, or as if he had been struck by God and humiliated.
Vraiment c'était nos maladies qu'il portait, et nos douleurs dont il s'était chargé; et nous, nous le regardions comme un puni, frappé de Dieu et humilié.
5 But he himself was wounded because of our iniquities. He was bruised because of our wickedness. The discipline of our peace was upon him. And by his wounds, we are healed.
Mais lui, il a été transpercé à cause de nos péchés, broyé à cause de nos iniquités; le châtiment qui nous donne la paix a été sur lui, et c'est par ses meurtrissures que nous sommes guéris.
6 We have all gone astray like sheep; each one has turned aside to his own way. And the Lord has placed all our iniquity upon him.
Nous étions tous errants comme des brebis, chacun de nous suivait sa propre voie; et Yahweh a fait retomber sur lui l'iniquité de nous tous.
7 He was offered up, because it was his own will. And he did not open his mouth. He will be led like a sheep to the slaughter. And he will be mute like a lamb before his shearer. For he will not open his mouth.
On le maltraite, et lui se soumet et n'ouvre pas la bouche, semblable à l'agneau qu'on mène à la tuerie, et à la brebis muette devant ceux qui la tondent; il n'ouvre point la bouche.
8 He was lifted up from anguish and judgment. Who will describe his life? For he has been cut off from the land of the living. Because of the wickedness of my people, I have struck him down.
Il a été enlevé par l'oppression et le jugement, et, parmi ses contemporains, qui a pensé qu'il était retranché de la terre des vivants, que la plaie le frappait à cause des péchés de mon peuple?
9 And he will be given a place with the impious for his burial, and with the rich for his death, though he has done no iniquity, nor was deceit in his mouth.
On lui a donné son sépulcre avec les méchants, et dans sa mort il est avec le riche, alors qu'il n'a pas commis d'injustice, et qu'il n'y a pas de fraude dans sa bouche.
10 But it was the will of the Lord to crush him with infirmity. If he lays down his life because of sin, he will see offspring with long lives, and the will of the Lord will be directed by his hand.
Il a plu à Yahweh de le briser par la souffrance; mais quand son âme aura offert le sacrifice expiatoire, il verra une postérité, il prolongera ses jours, et le dessein de Yahweh prospérera dans ses mains.
11 Because his soul has labored, he will see and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my just servant will himself justify many, and he himself will carry their iniquities.
A cause des souffrances de son âme, il verra et se rassasiera. Par sa connaissance le juste, mon Serviteur, justifiera beaucoup d'hommes, et lui-même se chargera de leurs iniquités.
12 Therefore, I will allot to him a great number. And he will divide the spoils of the strong. For he has handed over his life to death, and he was reputed among criminals. And he has taken away the sins of many, and he has prayed for the transgressors.
C'est pourquoi je lui donnerai sa part parmi les grands; il partagera le butin avec les forts. Parce qu'il a livré son âme à la mort et qu'il a été compté parmi les malfaiteurs; et lui-même a porté la faute de beaucoup, et il intercédera pour les pécheurs.
