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 était venu, 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 un son du ciel, comme [est le son] d'un vent qui souffle avec véhémence, 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, qui 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 du Saint-Esprit, et commencèrent à parler des langues étrangères selon que l'Esprit les faisait 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 qui y séjournaient, hommes dévôts, de toute nation qui est 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 ce bruit ayant été fait, une multitude vint ensemble, qui fut tout émue de ce que chacun les entendait parler en 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 en étaient donc tout surpris, et s'en étonnaient, disant l'un à l'autre: voici, tous ceux-ci 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 donc chacun de nous les entendons-nous parler la propre langue du pays où 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, Mèdes, Elamites, et nous qui habitons, [les uns] dans la Mésopotamie, [les autres] en Judée, et en Cappadoce, au pays du Pont, et en 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.
En Phrygie, en Pamphylie, en Egypte, et dans ces quartiers de la Libye qui est près de Cyrène, et nous qui demeurons à Rome?
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 parler chacun en notre langue, 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 donc tout étonnés, et ils ne savaient que penser, 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!”
Mais les autres se moquant disaient: c'est qu'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 se présentant avec les onze, éleva sa voix, et leur dit: hommes Juifs! [et vous] tous qui habitez à Jérusalem, apprenez ceci, et faites attention 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 point ivres, comme vous pensez, vu que 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 gens verront des visions, et vos Anciens songeront des 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 même en ces jours-là je répandrai de mon Esprit sur mes serviteurs et sur mes servantes, 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 ferai des choses merveilleuses dans le ciel en haut, et des prodiges 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 ce grand et notable jour du Seigneur vienne.
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].}’”
Mais 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 Israëlites, écoutez ces paroles! Jésus le Nazarien, personnage approuvé de Dieu entre vous par les miracles, les merveilles, et les prodiges que Dieu a faits par lui au milieu de vous, comme aussi 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 providence de Dieu, vous l'avez pris, et mis en croix, et vous l'avez fait mourir par les mains des 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.”
[Mais] Dieu l'a ressuscité, ayant brisé les liens 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 contemplais toujours le Seigneur en ma présence: car il est à ma droite, afin que je ne sois point 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 de plus, ma chair 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 point mon âme au sépulcre, et tu ne permettras point que ton Saint sente 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 le chemin de la vie, tu me rempliras de joie en 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.
Hommes frères, je puis bien vous dire librement touchant le Patriarche David, qu'il est mort, et qu'il a été enseveli, et que son sépulcre est parmi nous jusques 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].)
Mais comme il était Prophète, et qu'il savait que Dieu lui avait promis avec serment, que du fruit de ses reins il ferait naître selon la chair le Christ, pour le faire asseoir 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 de Christ, en la prévoyant, que son âme n'a point été laissée au sépulcre, et que sa chair n'a point senti 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.
Dieu a ressuscité ce Jésus; de quoi 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.
Après donc qu'il a été élevé [au ciel] par la puissance de Dieu, et qu'il a reçu de son Père la promesse du Saint-Esprit, il a répandu ce que maintenant vous voyez et ce que vous 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 aux 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 le 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 donc toute la maison d'Israël sache certainement que Dieu l'a fait Seigneur et Christ, ce Jésus, [dis-je], 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 ouï ces choses, ils eurent le cœur touché de componction, et ils dirent à Pierre et aux autres Apôtres: hommes 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.
Et Pierre leur dit: amendez-vous, et que chacun de vous soit baptisé au Nom de Jésus-Christ, pour obtenir le pardon de vos 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 et à vos enfants est faite la promesse, et à tous ceux qui sont loin, autant que le Seigneur notre Dieu en appellera à soi.
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 [les] conjurait, et les exhortait, en disant: séparez-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 de bon cœur sa parole, furent baptisés; et en ce jour-là furent ajoutées [à l'Eglise] environ trois mille 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 tous en la doctrine des Apôtres, et en la communion et la fraction du pain, et dans 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.
Or toute personne avait de la crainte, et beaucoup de miracles et de prodiges 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 ceux qui croyaient étaient ensemble 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 chacun en avait 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 tous d'un accord dans le Temple; et rompant le pain de maison en maison, ils prenaient leur repas avec joie et avec 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 se rendant agréables à tout le peuple. Et le Seigneur ajoutait tous les jours à l'Eglise des gens pour être sauvés.
