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 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 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.
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 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.
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 Cependant il porta nos maladies, et se chargea de nos douleurs, et nous le crûmes puni, 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 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 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 Tous nous errions comme des brebis, nous suivions chacun notre voie, mais l'Éternel fit peser sur lui le crime 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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].
