The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
1 Qui a cru à notre message, et à qui le bras de l'Éternel a-t-il été révélé?
1
Who believes our report? To whom is the arm of ADONAI 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;
2
For before him he grew up like a young plant, like a root out of dry ground. He was not well-formed or especially handsome; we saw him, but his appearance did not attract us.
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.
3
People despised and avoided him, a man of pains, well acquainted with illness. Like someone from whom people turn their faces, he was despised; we did not value him.
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.
4
In fact, it was our diseases he bore, our pains from which he suffered; yet we regarded him as punished, stricken and afflicted by God.
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.
5
But he was wounded because of our crimes, crushed because of our sins; the disciplining that makes us whole fell on him, and by his bruises we are 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.
6
We all, like sheep, went astray; we turned, each one, to his own way; yet ADONAI laid on him the guilt of all of us. Or: and in fellowship with him
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.
7
Though mistreated, he was submissive - he did not open his mouth. Like a lamb led to be slaughtered, like a sheep silent before its shearers, he did not open 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.
8
After forcible arrest and sentencing, he was taken away; and none of his generation protested his being cut off from the land of the living for the crimes of my people, who deserved the punishment themselves.
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.
9
He was given a grave among the wicked; in his death he was with a rich man. Although he had done no violence and had said nothing deceptive,
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.
10
yet it pleased ADONAI to crush him with illness, to see if he would present himself as a guilt offering. If he does, he will see his offspring; and he will prolong his days; and at his hand ADONAI's desire will be accomplished.
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.
11
After this ordeal, he will see satisfaction. "By his knowing [pain and sacrifice], my righteous servant makes many righteous; it is for their sins that he suffers.
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.
12
Therefore I will assign him a share with the great, he will divide the spoil with the mighty, for having exposed himself to death and being counted among the sinners, while actually bearing the sin of many and interceding for the offenders."
