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, quand vint 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.
et il survint tout à coup du ciel un bruit semblable à celui d'un violent coup de 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.
et des langues séparées, qui semblaient de feu, leur apparurent, et il s'en posa 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].
et ils furent tous remplis d'esprit saint, et ils commencèrent à parler en d'autres langues, selon que l'esprit leur donnait de s'exprimer.
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, se trouvaient établis à Jérusalem des Juifs pieux venus de chez toutes les nations qui habitent 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, quand ce bruit eut eu lieu, la multitude accourut, et elle fut confondue parce que chacun les entendait parler dans son propre idiome.
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].
Or tous étaient stupéfaits et ils disaient dans leur étonnement: « Voici, tous ces gens-là 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 chacun de nous entend-il dans son idiome natal —
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 ceux qui habitent la Mésopotamie, la Judée et la Cappadoce, le Pont et l'Asie, la Phrygie et la Pamphylie, l'Egypte
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.
et les régions de la Libye voisine de Cyrène, et les voyageurs venus de Rome, Juifs et prosélytes, Crétois et Arabes, —
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?”
comment les entendons-nous parler dans nos propres langues des hauts faits 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?”
Or tous étaient stupéfaits et incertains, se 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!”
tandis que d'autres raillaient et 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 s'étant avancé avec les onze éleva la voix et leur dit: « Juifs, et vous tous qui habitez Jérusalem, comprenez bien 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 ces gens ne sont pas ivres, comme vous le supposez, puisque 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 ce qui se passe est ce qui a été prédit par l'entremise du 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 après cela, 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 vieillards auront 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 certes 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 J'opérerai des prodiges en haut dans le ciel, et des miracles en bas sur la terre, du sang et du feu et de la 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 qu'arrive 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 aura invoqué 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].
Israélites, écoutez mes paroles que voici: Jésus le Nazoréen, cet homme accrédité de Dieu auprès de vous par des miracles, des prodiges et des signes que Dieu a opérés par son moyen 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.
c'est lui que vous avez fait périr en le crucifiant par la main des impies, après qu'il eut été livré selon le dessein arrêté et la prescience de Dieu,
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.”
et c'est lui que Dieu a ressuscité en dissipant les douleurs de la mort, en la puissance de laquelle il n'était, en effet, pas possible qu'il fût retenu;
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 à propos de lui: « J'ai toujours vu le Seigneur devant moi, parce qu'il se tient 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 a été dans la joie et ma langue dans l'allégresse; ma chair aussi se reposera encore avec 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)
parce que Tu n'abandonneras pas mon âme dans le séjour des morts et que Tu ne permettras point que celui qui T'est consacré 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 fais connaître les routes de la vie, Tu me combleras de joie 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, il est permis de vous dire avec assurance, quant au patriarche David, qu'il est mort et qu'il a été enterré; aussi bien son sépulcre subsiste-t-il 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].)
Étant donc prophète, et sachant que Dieu lui avait juré avec serment qu'il ferait asseoir un 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)
c'est par prévision qu'il a parlé de la résurrection du Christ, car celui-ci n'a pas été abandonné dans le séjour des morts et sa chair 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.
c'est ce Jésus que Dieu a ressuscité, ce dont, nous tous, nous sommes 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 élevé à la droite de Dieu, et ayant reçu du Père l'esprit saint qui avait été promis, il a répandu celui-ci comme vous-mêmes aussi vous le voyez et vous l'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,
David, en effet, n'est point monté dans les 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 J'aie fait de tes ennemis un marchepied pour 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 sache donc avec certitude que Dieu l'a fait et seigneur, et Christ, ce Jésus que vous, 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]?”
Ce qu'ayant ouï, ils furent piqués au cœur, et ils dirent à Pierre et aux autres apôtres: « Frères, qu'avons-nous à faire? »
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.
Sur quoi Pierre s'adressant à eux: « Repentez-vous, et que chacun de vous se fasse baptiser au nom de Jésus-Christ, pour la rémission de ses 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 c'est pour vous qu'est la promesse, et pour vos enfants, et pour tous ceux au loin qu'aura appelés à Lui le Seigneur notre Dieu. »
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 il rendait témoignage par plusieurs autres paroles, et il les exhortait en disant: « Sauvez-vous en quittant cette génération pervertie. »
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 eurent à gré ses paroles se firent baptiser, et il y eut ce jour-là environ trois mille personnes qui furent agrégées.
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].
Cependant ils étaient assidus à l'enseignement des apôtres et aux réunions communes, à la fraction du pain et aux 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 chacun était dans la crainte; mais il se faisait 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.
Et tous ceux qui avaient cru avaient en un même lieu toutes choses 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.
et ils vendaient leurs propriétés et leurs biens, et ils 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.
Tous les jours ils étaient ensemble assidus dans le temple, et, rompant le pain dans les maisons, ils prenaient leur nourriture avec allégresse 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 trouvant faveur auprès de tout le peuple. Cependant le Seigneur agrégeait journellement au même corps ceux qui étaient sauvés.
