Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Le jour de la Pentecôte, ils étaient tous ensemble dans le même lieu.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
Tout à coup, il vint du ciel un bruit semblable au souffle d'un grand vent, et il remplit toute la maison où ils étaient assis.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
Des langues semblables à des langues de feu apparurent et leur furent distribuées, et il y en eut une sur chacun d'eux.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Ils furent tous remplis de l'Esprit Saint et se mirent à parler d'autres langues, selon que l'Esprit leur donnait la faculté de parler.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
Or, il y avait à Jérusalem des Juifs, des hommes pieux, de toutes les nations qui sont sous le ciel.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
Lorsque ce bruit se fit entendre, la foule s'assembla et fut déconcertée, car chacun les entendait parler dans sa propre langue.
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
Ils étaient tous stupéfaits et s'étonnaient, se disant les uns aux autres: « Voici, tous ceux qui parlent ne sont-ils pas Galiléens?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
Comment entendons-nous, chacun dans sa langue maternelle?
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
Parthes, Mèdes, Élamites, gens de Mésopotamie, de Judée, de Cappadoce, du Pont, d'Asie,
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
de Phrygie, de Pamphylie, d'Égypte, des environs de Cyrène en Libye, des visiteurs de Rome, Juifs et prosélytes,
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
Crétois et Arabes, nous les entendons parler dans nos langues des merveilles de Dieu. »
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Ils étaient tous stupéfaits et perplexes, se disant les uns aux autres: « Que signifie ceci? »
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
D'autres, se moquant, disaient: « Ils sont remplis de vin nouveau. »
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Mais Pierre, debout avec les onze, éleva la voix et leur dit: « Hommes de Judée et vous tous qui habitez à Jérusalem, sachez ceci et écoutez mes paroles.
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
Car ceux-ci ne sont pas ivres, comme vous le supposez, puisque ce n'est que la troisième heure du jour.
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Mais voici ce qui a été annoncé par le prophète Joël:
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
« Il en sera ainsi dans les derniers jours, dit Dieu, que je répandrai mon Esprit sur toute chair. Vos fils et vos filles prophétiseront. Vos jeunes hommes auront des visions. Vos vieux hommes feront des rêves.
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
Oui, et sur mes serviteurs et sur mes servantes en ces jours-là, Je répandrai mon Esprit, et ils prophétiseront.
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
Je ferai apparaître des merveilles dans le ciel en haut, et des signes sur la terre en dessous: du sang, du feu et des nuages de fumée.
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
Le soleil se changera en ténèbres, et la lune en sang, avant que le grand et glorieux jour du Seigneur n'arrive.
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
Quiconque invoquera le nom du Seigneur sera sauvé.
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
« Hommes d'Israël, écoutez ces paroles! Jésus de Nazareth, homme approuvé par Dieu à vos yeux, par les miracles, les prodiges et les signes que Dieu a faits par lui au milieu de vous, comme vous le savez vous-mêmes,
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
lui qui, livré selon le dessein arrêté et la prescience de Dieu, a été pris par la main d'hommes sans loi, crucifié et tué,
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
lui que Dieu a ressuscité, le délivrant du supplice de la mort, parce qu'il n'était pas possible qu'il fût retenu par elle.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
Car David dit de lui, Je voyais le Seigneur toujours devant moi, car il est à ma droite, afin que je ne sois pas ébranlé.
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
C'est pourquoi mon cœur s'est réjoui, et ma langue s'est réjouie. De plus, ma chair aussi habitera dans l'espérance,
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
car tu ne laisseras pas mon âme dans le séjour des morts, vous ne permettrez pas non plus à votre Saint de voir la pourriture. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
Tu m'as fait connaître les chemins de la vie. Tu me rempliras d'allégresse par ta présence ».
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
« Frères, je peux vous dire librement du patriarche David, qu'il est mort et qu'il a été enseveli, et que son tombeau est encore parmi nous aujourd'hui.
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
C'est pourquoi, étant prophète, et sachant que Dieu lui avait juré par serment que, du fruit de son corps, selon la chair, il susciterait le Christ pour qu'il s'asseye sur son trône,
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
il a, prévoyant cela, parlé de la résurrection du Christ, afin que son âme ne restât pas dans le séjour des morts et que sa chair ne vît pas la pourriture. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
Ce Jésus, Dieu l'a ressuscité, ce dont nous sommes tous témoins.
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
Étant donc élevé par la droite de Dieu, et ayant reçu du Père la promesse du Saint-Esprit, il a répandu ce que vous voyez et entendez maintenant.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
Car David n'est pas monté aux cieux, mais il dit lui-même, Le Seigneur a dit à mon Seigneur: « Assieds-toi à ma droite ».
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
jusqu'à ce que je fasse de vos ennemis un marchepied pour vos pieds. »
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
« Que toute la maison d'Israël sache donc avec certitude que Dieu l'a fait à la fois Seigneur et Christ, ce Jésus que vous avez crucifié. »
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
Ayant entendu cela, ils eurent le cœur brisé et dirent à Pierre et aux autres apôtres: « Frères, que ferons-nous? »
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
Pierre leur dit: « Repentez-vous et soyez baptisés, chacun de vous, au nom de Jésus-Christ, pour le pardon des péchés, et vous recevrez le don du Saint-Esprit.
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
Car la promesse est pour vous, pour vos enfants, et pour tous ceux qui sont au loin, en aussi grand nombre que le Seigneur notre Dieu voudra appeler à lui. »
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
Avec beaucoup d'autres paroles, il leur rendait témoignage et les exhortait en disant: « Sauvez-vous de cette génération perverse! »
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Alors ceux qui reçurent avec joie sa parole furent baptisés. En ce jour-là, il y eut environ trois mille âmes de plus.
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
Ils persévéraient dans l'enseignement des apôtres et dans la communion fraternelle, dans la fraction du pain et dans la prière.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
La crainte s'empara de tous, et il se fit beaucoup de prodiges et de miracles par les apôtres.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
Tous ceux qui croyaient étaient ensemble, et avaient tout en commun.
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
Ils vendaient leurs biens et leurs propriétés, et les distribuaient à tous, selon les besoins de chacun.
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
Chaque jour, persévérant d'un commun accord dans le temple, et rompant le pain dans les maisons, ils prenaient leur nourriture avec joie et simplicité de cœur,
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
louaient Dieu et avaient la faveur de tout le peuple. Le Seigneur ajoutait chaque jour à l'assemblée ceux qui étaient sauvés.
