Livre d'Isaïe 53

JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Qui a cru ce que nous entendions dire, et le bras de Yahvé, à qui s'est-il révélé?	1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 Comme un surgeon il a grandi devant lui, comme une racine en terre aride; sans beauté ni éclat pourattirer nos regards, et sans apparence qui nous eût séduits;	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.
3 objet de mépris, abandonné des hommes, homme de douleur, familier de la souffrance, commequelqu'un devant qui on se voile la face, méprisé, nous n'en faisions aucun cas.	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.
4 Or ce sont nos souffrances qu'il portait et nos douleurs dont il était chargé. Et nous, nous leconsidérions comme puni, frappé par Dieu et humilié.	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.
5 Mais lui, il a été transpercé à cause de nos crimes, écrasé à cause de nos fautes. Le châtiment qui nousrend la paix est sur lui, et dans ses blessures nous trouvons la guérison.	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.
6 Tous, comme des moutons, nous étions errants, chacun suivant son propre chemin, et Yahvé a faitretomber sur lui nos fautes à tous.	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.
7 Maltraité, il s'humiliait, il n'ouvrait pas la bouche, comme l'agneau qui se laisse mener à l'abattoir,comme devant les tondeurs une brebis muette, il n'ouvrait pas la bouche.	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.
8 Par contrainte et jugement il a été saisi. Parmi ses contemporains, qui s'est inquiété qu'il ait étéretranché de la terre des vivants, qu'il ait été frappé pour le crime de son peuple?	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.
9 On lui a donné un sépulcre avec les impies et sa tombe est avec le riche, bien qu'il n'ait pas commis deviolence et qu'il n'y ait pas eu de tromperie dans sa bouche.	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.
10 Yahvé a voulu l'écraser par la souffrance; s'il offre sa vie en sacrifice expiatoire, il verra unepostérité, il prolongera ses jours, et par lui la volonté de Yahvé s'accomplira.	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.
11 A la suite de l'épreuve endurée par son âme, il verra la lumière et sera comblé. Par sa connaissance,le juste, mon serviteur, justifiera les multitudes en s'accablant lui-même de leurs fautes.	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.
12 C'est pourquoi il aura sa part parmi les multitudes, et avec les puissants il partagera le butin, parcequ'il s'est livré lui-même à la mort et qu'il a été compté parmi les criminels, alors qu'il portait le péché desmultitudes et qu'il intercédait pour les criminels.	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.
