Psalms 10
1 Yahweh, (why are you far away [from us]?/it seems that you are far away [from us].) [RHQ] Why do you not pay attention when we have troubles [RHQ]?
Pourquoi, ô Éternel, te tiens-tu loin, et te caches-tu au temps de la détresse?
2 People who are proud gladly cause poor people to suffer. So [cause what they do to others to happen to them]! May they be caught in the [same] traps that they set to catch others [MET]!
Le méchant, dans son orgueil, poursuit les malheureux. Ils sont pris par les artifices qu'il a médités.
3 They brag about the [evil] things that they want to do. They praise people who seize from others things that do not belong to them, and they curse you, Yahweh.
Car le méchant se glorifie du désir de son âme; le ravisseur blasphème contre l'Éternel, et l'outrage.
4 Wicked people are very proud. As a result, they do not (seek help from/are not concerned about) God; they do not even think that God exists.
Le méchant dit avec arrogance: Il ne fera point d'enquête! Toutes ses pensées sont qu'il n'y a point de Dieu.
5 But [it seems that] they succeed in everything that they do. They do not think that they will be condemned/punished for their deeds, and they (sneer at/make fun of) their enemies.
Ses voies prospèrent en tout temps; tes jugements sont loin de sa vue; il souffle contre tous ses ennemis.
6 They think, “Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never have troubles!”
Il dit en son cœur: Je ne serai point ébranlé, jamais il ne m'arrivera de mal.
7 When they talk [MTY], they are always cursing, lying, and threatening to harm others. They constantly say [MTY] evil things that show that they are ready to do cruel things to others.
Sa bouche est pleine de malédiction, de fraude et de violence; sous sa langue il n'y a que tourment et qu'outrage.
8 They hide in villages, ready to (ambush/suddenly attack) and kill people who (are innocent/have done nothing wrong). They constantly search for people who will not be able to (resist/defend themselves) [when they are attacked].
Il se tient aux aguets près des hameaux; il tue l'innocent dans les lieux écartés; ses yeux épient le malheureux.
9 They are like [MET] lions that crouch down and hide, waiting to pounce on their prey. They are like hunters that catch their prey with a net and then drag it away.
Il s'embusque dans les lieux cachés, comme un lion dans son repaire; il se tient aux aguets pour surprendre le faible; il surprend le faible, en l'attirant dans son filet.
10 Just like helpless animals are crushed, people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people are very strong.
Il se tapit, il se baisse, et les malheureux tombent en sa puissance.
11 Wicked people say, “God will not pay any attention [to what we do]. His eyes are covered, so he never sees anything.”
Il dit en son cœur: Dieu oublie, il a caché sa face, il ne le verra jamais.
12 Yahweh God, arise [and help us] Punish [IDM] those wicked people! And do not forget those who are suffering!
Lève-toi, Éternel! O Dieu, lève ta main, n'oublie point les affligés!
13 Wicked people revile you [RHQ] continually. They think, “God will never punish us!”
Pourquoi le méchant outrage-t-il Dieu, et dit-il en son cœur que tu n'en feras point d'enquête?
14 But you see the trouble and the distress [that they cause]. People who are suffering expect that you will help them; and you help orphans, [also].
Tu l'as vu! Car tu regardes le tourment et la peine, pour en tenir compte; c'est sur toi que se repose le malheureux, tu es le secours de l'orphelin.
15 (Break the arms/Destroy the power) of wicked [DOU] people! Continue to pursue and punish them for the wicked things that they do, until they stop doing those things.
Romps le bras du méchant, et recherche la méchanceté de l'injuste, jusqu'à ce que tu ne la trouves plus.
16 Yahweh, you are our king forever, but [wicked] nations will disappear from the earth.
L'Éternel est Roi à toujours et à perpétuité; les nations ont disparu de dessus sa terre.
17 You have listened to afflicted/suffering people when they cry out to you. You hear them [when they pray], and you encourage [IDM] them.
Éternel, tu entends le souhait des affligés; affermis leurs cœurs, prête-leur une oreille attentive,
18 You show that orphans and oppressed people have not done things that are wrong, with the result that human beings will not cause people to be terrified any more.
Pour faire droit à l'orphelin et à l'opprimé; afin que sur la terre l'homme ne continue plus à répandre l'effroi.
