Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Et comme le jour de la Pentecôte s’accomplissait, ils étaient tous ensemble dans un 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.
Et il se fit tout à coup du ciel un son, comme d’un souffle violent et impétueux, 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.
Et il leur apparut des langues divisées, comme de feu; et elles se posèrent 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].
Et ils furent tous remplis de l’Esprit Saint, et commencèrent à parler d’autres langues, selon que l’Esprit leur donnait de s’énoncer.
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 des Juifs séjournant à Jérusalem, hommes pieux, de toute nation d’entre ceux 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.
Et le bruit de ceci s’étant répandu, la multitude s’assembla, et fut confondue de ce que chacun les entendait parler dans son propre langage.
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].
Et ils étaient tous hors d’eux-mêmes, et s’étonnaient, disant: Voici, tous ceux-ci qui parlent ne sont-ils pas des 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]
Et comment les entendons-nous, chacun dans son propre langage, [celui du pays] dans lequel nous sommes nés?
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 et Mèdes et Élamites, et nous qui habitons la Mésopotamie, la Judée et la Cappadoce, le Pont et l’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.
la Phrygie et la Pamphylie, l’Égypte et les quartiers de la Libye qui est près de Cyrène, et nous, Romains qui séjournons [ici],
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?”
tant Juifs que prosélytes, Crétois et Arabes, – nous les entendons annoncer dans nos langues les choses magnifiques 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?”
Et ils étaient tous hors d’eux-mêmes et en perplexité, disant l’un à l’autre: Que veut dire 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!”
Et d’autres, se moquant, disaient: Ils sont pleins de vin doux.
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, s’étant levé avec les onze, éleva sa voix, et leur parla: Hommes juifs, et vous tous qui habitez Jérusalem, sachez ceci, et prêtez l’oreille à 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 pensez, car c’est 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 c’est ici ce qui a été dit 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].
« Et il arrivera aux derniers jours, dit Dieu, que je répandrai de mon Esprit sur toute chair, et vos fils et vos filles prophétiseront, et vos jeunes hommes verront des visions, et vos vieillards songeront en songes;
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.
et sur mes serviteurs et sur mes servantes, en ces jours-là, je répandrai de 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].
et je montrerai des prodiges dans le ciel en haut, et des signes sur la terre en bas, du sang et du feu, et une vapeur 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 sera changé en ténèbres et la lune en sang, avant que vienne la grande et éclatante journée du Seigneur.
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].}’”
Et il arrivera que 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 israélites, écoutez ces paroles: Jésus le Nazaréen, homme approuvé de Dieu auprès de vous par les miracles et les prodiges et les signes que Dieu a faits par lui au milieu de vous, comme vous-mêmes vous le savez,
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.
ayant été livré par le conseil défini et par la préconnaissance de Dieu, – lui, vous l’avez cloué à [une croix] et vous l’avez fait périr par la main d’hommes iniques,
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.”
lequel Dieu a ressuscité, ayant délié les douleurs de la mort, puisqu’il n’était pas possible qu’il soit 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 contemplais toujours le Seigneur 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 a tressailli de joie; et plus encore, ma chair aussi reposera en 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 en hadès, et tu ne permettras pas que ton saint voie la corruption. (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 de joie par [le regard de] ta face ».
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.
Hommes frères, qu’il me soit permis de vous dire avec liberté, touchant le patriarche David, et qu’il est mort, et qu’il a été enseveli, et que son sépulcre est au milieu de nous jusqu’à ce jour.
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].)
Étant donc prophète, et sachant que Dieu lui avait juré, avec serment, qu’il ferait asseoir [quelqu’un suscité] du fruit de ses reins, 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 dit de la résurrection du Christ, en la prévoyant, qu’il n’a pas été laissé dans le hadès, et que sa chair non plus n’a pas vu la corruption. (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, 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.
Ayant donc été exalté par la droite de Dieu, et ayant reçu de la part du Père l’Esprit Saint promis, il a répandu ce que vous voyez et entendez.
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 dans les cieux; mais lui-même dit: « Le Seigneur a dit à mon seigneur: Assieds-toi à ma droite,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
jusqu’à ce que j’aie mis tes ennemis pour marchepied de tes 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 donc sache certainement que Dieu a fait et 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]?”
Et ayant entendu [ces choses], ils eurent le cœur saisi de componction, et ils dirent à Pierre et aux autres apôtres: Que ferons-nous, frères?
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.
Et Pierre leur dit: Repentez-vous, et que chacun de vous soit baptisé au nom de Jésus Christ, en rémission 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 à vous est la promesse et à vos enfants, et à tous ceux qui sont loin, autant que le Seigneur notre Dieu en appellera 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]!”
Et par plusieurs autres paroles, il conjurait et exhortait, 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.
Ceux donc qui reçurent sa parole, furent baptisés; et en ce jour-là furent ajoutées environ 3 000 âmes.
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].
Et ils persévéraient dans la doctrine et la communion des apôtres, dans la fraction du pain et les prières.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Et toute âme avait de la crainte; et beaucoup de prodiges et de miracles se faisaient 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.
Et tous les croyants étaient en un même lieu, et ils avaient toutes choses communes;
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.
et ils vendaient leurs possessions et leurs biens, et les distribuaient à tous, selon que quelqu’un pouvait en avoir besoin.
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.
Et tous les jours ils persévéraient d’un commun accord dans le temple; et, rompant le pain dans leurs 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].
louant Dieu, et ayant la faveur de tout le peuple. Et le Seigneur ajoutait tous les jours à l’assemblée ceux qui devaient être sauvés.
