< Isaïe 53 >

1 Qui a cru à notre message, et à qui le bras de l'Éternel a-t-il été révélé?
'Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 Il est monté devant l'Éternel comme un rejeton, comme une racine qui sort d'une terre desséchée. Il n'a ni beauté ni éclat qui nous le fasse regarder, ni apparence qui nous le fasse désirer;
For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and as a root out of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, nor beauty that we should delight in him.
3 Méprisé, délaissé des hommes, homme de douleurs et connaissant la souffrance; comme un homme devant qui on se couvre le visage; si méprisé que nous n'en faisions aucun cas.
He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Cependant il a porté nos maladies, et il s'est chargé de nos douleurs; et nous, nous pensions qu'il était frappé de Dieu, battu et affligé.
Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 Mais il était meurtri pour nos péchés, et frappé pour nos iniquités; le châtiment qui nous apporte la paix est tombé sur lui, et par sa meurtrissure nous avons la guérison.
But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed.
6 Nous étions tous errants comme des brebis, nous suivions chacun son propre chemin, et l'Éternel a fait venir sur lui l'iniquité de nous tous.
All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Il est maltraité, il est affligé; et il n'ouvre point la bouche; comme un agneau mené à la boucherie, comme une brebis muette devant celui qui la tond, il n'ouvre point la bouche.
He was oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth.
8 Il a été retiré de l'angoisse et de la condamnation; et qui dira sa durée? Car il a été retranché de la terre des vivants; il a été frappé pour le péché de mon peuple.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and with his generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.
9 On lui avait assigné sa sépulture avec les méchants, et dans sa mort il a été avec le riche; car il n'a point fait d'injustice, et il n'y a point eu de fraude en sa bouche.
And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich his tomb; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.'
10 Or il a plu à l'Éternel de le frapper; il l'a mis dans la souffrance. Après avoir offert sa vie en sacrifice pour le péché, il se verra de la postérité, il prolongera ses jours, et le bon plaisir de l'Éternel prospérera dans ses mains.
Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand:
11 Il jouira du travail de son âme, il en sera rassasié; mon serviteur juste en justifiera plusieurs, par la connaissance qu'ils auront de lui, et lui-même portera leurs iniquités.
Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear.
12 C'est pourquoi je lui donnerai son partage parmi les grands; il partagera le butin avec les puissants; parce qu'il a livré sa vie à la mort, qu'il a été mis au nombre des méchants, qu'il a porté les péchés de plusieurs, et intercédé pour les pécheurs.
Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
