Isaiah 53

Esaïe 53
|
| Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled? | Qui a cru à ce qui nous était annoncé? Qui a reconnu le bras de l`Éternel? |
| For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure; | Il s`est élevé devant lui comme une faible plante, Comme un rejeton qui sort d`une terre desséchée; Il n`avait ni beauté, ni éclat pour attirer nos regards, Et son aspect n`avait rien pour nous plaire. |
| Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him. | Méprisé et abandonné des hommes, Homme de douleur et habitué à la souffrance, Semblable à celui dont on détourne le visage, Nous l`avons dédaigné, nous n`avons fait de lui aucun cas. |
| But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come. | Cependant, ce sont nos souffrances qu`il a portées, C`est de nos douleurs qu`il s`est chargé; Et nous l`avons considéré comme puni, Frappé de Dieu, et humilié. |
| But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well. | Mais il était blessé pour nos péchés, Brisé pour nos iniquités; Le châtiment qui nous donne la paix est tombé sur lui, Et c`est par ses meurtrissures que nous sommes guéris. |
| We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all. | Nous étions tous errants comme des brebis, Chacun suivait sa propre voie; Et l`Éternel a fait retomber sur lui l`iniquité de nous tous. |
| Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word. | Il a été maltraité et opprimé, Et il n`a point ouvert la bouche, Semblable à un agneau qu`on mène à la boucherie, A une brebis muette devant ceux qui la tondent; Il n`a point ouvert la bouche. |
| They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people. | Il a été enlevé par l`angoisse et le châtiment; Et parmi ceux de sa génération, qui a cru Qu`il était retranché de la terre des vivants Et frappé pour les péchés de mon peuple? |
| And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth. | On a mis son sépulcre parmi les méchants, Son tombeau avec le riche, Quoiqu`il n`eût point commis de violence Et qu`il n`y eût point de fraude dans sa bouche. |
| And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ... | Il a plu à l`Éternel de le briser par la souffrance... Après avoir livré sa vie en sacrifice pour le péché, Il verra une postérité et prolongera ses jours; Et l`oeuvre de l`Éternel prospérera entre ses mains. |
| ... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself. | A cause du travail de son âme, il rassasiera ses regards; Par sa connaissance mon serviteur juste justifiera beaucoup d`hommes, Et il se chargera de leurs iniquités. |
| For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers. | C`est pourquoi je lui donnerai sa part avec les grands; Il partagera le butin avec les puissants, Parce qu`il s`est livré lui-même à la mort, Et qu`il a été mis au nombre des malfaiteurs, Parce qu`il a porté les péchés de beaucoup d`hommes, Et qu`il a intercédé pour les coupables. |
