Acts 5
1 But there was one of [the believers] whose name was Ananias, and whose wife’s name was Sapphira. He [also] sold some land.
Or, un homme nommé Ananias, avec Sapphira, sa femme, vendit une propriété,
2 He kept for himself some of the money [he had received for the land], and his wife knew that he had done that. Then he brought the rest of the money and presented it to the apostles [MTY].
et en retint une partie du prix; sa femme le savait aussi, puis elle en apporta une partie et la déposa aux pieds des apôtres.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, you [(sg)] let Satan completely control you [MTY] so that you [(sg) tried to] deceive the Holy Spirit [and us(exc)]. (That was [terrible!/Why did you do such a terrible thing]?) [RHQ] [You] have kept for yourself some of the money you [(sg)] received for [selling] the land, [pretending that you(sg) were giving us all of it].
Mais Pierre dit: Ananias, pourquoi Satan a-t-il rempli ton cœur pour mentir au Saint-Esprit et pour retenir une partie du prix du terrain?
4 Before you [(sg)] sold that land, you truly owned [RHQ] it. And after you sold it, you could [RHQ] certainly still have used the money any way you wanted [to]. So why did you [(sg) ever] think [RHQ] about doing this [wicked] thing? You were not [merely trying to] deceive us! No, [you tried to deceive] God [himself!]!”
Tant que tu l'as gardé, n'est-il pas resté à toi? Après sa vente, n'était-elle pas en ton pouvoir? Comment se fait-il que tu aies conçu cette chose dans ton cœur? Tu n'as pas menti aux hommes, mais à Dieu. »
5 When Ananias heard that, [immediately] he fell down dead. So all [who were there] who heard [about Ananias’ death] became terrified [PRS].
Ananias, entendant ces paroles, tomba et mourut. Une grande crainte s'empara de tous ceux qui entendirent ces choses.
6 Some young men came in, wrapped his [body in a sheet], and carried it out [and] buried it.
Les jeunes gens, s'étant levés, l'enveloppèrent, l'emportèrent et l'ensevelirent.
7 About three hours later, his wife came in, [but] she did not know what had happened.
Environ trois heures après, sa femme, qui ne savait pas ce qui était arrivé, entra.
8 [As] Peter [showed her the money] that [Ananias had brought], he asked her, “Tell me, is this the amount [of money you two received for] the land you sold?” She said, “Yes, that’s [what we(exc) received].”
Pierre lui dit: « Dis-moi si tu as vendu le terrain à un tel prix. » Elle a dit: « Oui, pour tant de choses. »
9 So Peter said to her, “[You both did a terrible thing!] You two agreed [RHQ] to try to determine if you could do that without the Spirit of the Lord [God] revealing [to anyone that you two tried to deceive them!] Listen! [Do you(sg) hear the] footsteps [SYN] of the men who buried your husband? They are right outside this door, and they will carry your [corpse] out [to bury it, too]!”
Mais Pierre lui dit: « Comment se fait-il que vous vous soyez mis d'accord pour tenter l'Esprit du Seigneur? Voici que les pieds de ceux qui ont enseveli ton mari sont à la porte, et ils vont te porter dehors. »
10 Immediately Sapphira fell down dead at Peter’s feet. Then the young men came in. When they saw that she was dead, they carried her [body] out and buried it beside her husband’s [body].
Elle tomba aussitôt à ses pieds et mourut. Les jeunes gens entrèrent et la trouvèrent morte; ils la portèrent dehors et l`enterrèrent près de son mari.
11 So all the believers [in Jerusalem] became greatly frightened [PRS] [because of what God had done to Ananias and Sapphira. And] all [the others] who heard [people tell about] those things also [became greatly frightened].
Une grande crainte s'empara de toute l'assemblée et de tous ceux qui entendirent ces choses.
12 [God was enabling] the apostles to do many amazing miracles among the people. All the believers were meeting together regularly [in the temple courtyard] at [the place called] Solomon’s Porch.
Par les mains des apôtres, beaucoup de signes et de prodiges se produisaient parmi le peuple. Ils étaient tous d'un commun accord sous le portique de Salomon.
13 All of the other people [who had not yet believed in Jesus] were afraid to associate with the believers, [because they knew that if they did anything evil, God would punish them, as well as revealing it to the believers]. However, those people continued to greatly respect the believers.
Aucun des autres n'osait se joindre à eux, mais le peuple les honorait.
14 Many more men and women started believing in the Lord [Jesus], and they joined the [group of] believers.
De plus en plus de croyants se joignaient au Seigneur, des multitudes d'hommes et de femmes.
15 [The apostles were doing amazing miracles], so [people] were bringing those who were sick into the streets, and laying them on stretchers and mats, in order that [when] Peter came by [he would touch them, or] at least his shadow might fall upon some of them [and heal them].
On transportait même les malades dans les rues et on les couchait sur des lits et des matelas, afin que, lorsque Pierre passerait, son ombre au moins couvre quelques-uns d'entre eux.
16 Crowds of people were also coming [to the apostles] from the towns near Jerusalem. They were bringing their sick [relatives/friends] and those who were being tormented/troubled by evil spirits {whom evil spirits were tormenting/troubling}, and [God] healed all of them.
La foule s'assemblait aussi des villes voisines de Jérusalem, amenant des malades et des personnes tourmentées par des esprits impurs; et tous étaient guéris.
17 Then the high priest and all who were with him, who were members of the [local] Sadducee [sect in Jerusalem], became very jealous [of the apostles, because many people were accepting the apostles’ message].
Mais le grand prêtre se leva, ainsi que tous ceux qui étaient avec lui (c'est la secte des sadducéens), et ils furent remplis de jalousie
18 So they commanded the Temple guards to seize the apostles and put them in the public jail.
et mirent la main sur les apôtres, puis les mirent en prison publique.
19 [The guards did that], but during the night an angel from the Lord [God] opened the jail doors and brought the apostles outside! [The guards were not aware of what the angel had done].
Mais un ange du Seigneur ouvrit de nuit les portes de la prison, les fit sortir et leur dit:
20 Then the angel said [to the apostles], “Go to the Temple [courtyard], stand there, and tell the people all about [how God can give them eternal] life!”
« Allez vous tenir debout et parlez au peuple dans le temple de toutes les paroles de cette vie. »
21 So having heard this, about dawn they entered the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach the people again [about Jesus]. Acts 5:21b-24 Meanwhile, the high priest and those who were with him summoned the other Jewish Council members. Altogether they made up the entire Council of Israel. [After they all gathered together], they sent [guards] to the jail to bring in the apostles.
Après avoir entendu cela, ils entrèrent dans le temple vers l'aube et enseignèrent. Mais le grand prêtre et ceux qui étaient avec lui vinrent convoquer le conseil, avec tout le sénat des enfants d'Israël, et envoyèrent à la prison pour les faire amener.
22 But when the guards arrived at the jail, they discovered that the apostles were not there. So they returned to the Council, and [one of] them reported,
Mais les officiers qui étaient venus ne les trouvèrent pas dans la prison. Ils revinrent et firent ce rapport:
23 “We [(exc)] saw that the jail [doors] were very securely locked, and the guards were standing at the doors. But when we opened [the doors and went in to get those men], none [of them was] inside [the jail]!”
« Nous avons trouvé la prison fermée et verrouillée, et les gardes debout devant les portes; mais quand nous les avons ouvertes, nous n'avons trouvé personne à l'intérieur! ».
24 When the captain of the temple guards and the chief priests heard that, they became greatly perplexed, [wondering] what might result from all this.
Or, lorsque le grand prêtre, le commandant du temple et les chefs des prêtres entendirent ces paroles, ils furent très perplexes à leur sujet et sur ce qui pourrait en résulter.
25 Then someone came [from the Temple courtyard] and [excitedly] reported to them, “Listen [to this! Right now] the men whom you put in jail are standing in the Temple [courtyard] and they are teaching the people [about Jesus]!”
Quelqu'un vint leur dire: « Voici que les hommes que vous avez mis en prison sont dans le temple, debout et enseignant le peuple. »
26 So the captain [of the Temple guards] went [to the Temple courtyard] with the officers, and they brought the apostles [back to the Council room. But they] did not treat them roughly, because they were afraid that the people would [kill them by] throwing stones at them [if they hurt the apostles].
Alors le capitaine alla avec les officiers et les ramena sans violence, car ils craignaient que le peuple ne les lapide.
27 After [the captain and his officers] had brought [the apostles to the Council room], they commanded them to stand in front of the Council members, and the high priest questioned them.
Quand ils les eurent amenés, ils les présentèrent au sanhédrin. Le grand prêtre les interrogea,
28 He said to them [accusingly], “We [(exc)] strongly commanded you not to teach people about that man [MTY] [Jesus] But [you have disobeyed us, and] you have taught people all over Jerusalem [about him]! Furthermore, you are trying to make it seem that we [(exc)] are the ones who are guilty [MTY] for that man’s death!”
en disant: « Ne vous avons-nous pas strictement ordonné de ne pas enseigner en ce nom? Voici que vous avez rempli Jérusalem de votre enseignement, et vous avez l'intention de faire retomber sur nous le sang de cet homme. »
29 But Peter, [speaking for himself] and the other apostles, replied, “We [(exc)] have to obey [what] God [commands us to do], not what [you] people [tell us to do]!
Mais Pierre et les apôtres répondirent: « Nous devons obéir à Dieu plutôt qu'aux hommes.
30 God considers that you are the ones who killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross! But God, whom our ancestors [worshipped], (caused Jesus to become alive again after he died/raised Jesus from the dead).
Le Dieu de nos pères a ressuscité Jésus, que vous avez tué en le pendant au bois.
31 God has greatly honored Jesus. [He has taken him up to heaven! He has authorized him] to be the one who will save us and to rule [over our lives! God did this] so that he might enable [us] Israelites [MTY] to turn away from [our] sinful behavior and [that he might] forgive [us for our sins].
Dieu l'a élevé par sa droite pour être Prince et Sauveur, pour donner la repentance à Israël et le pardon des péchés.
32 We [(exc)] tell people about these things [that we know happened to Jesus], and the Holy Spirit, whom God has sent to [us] who obey him, is also confirming [that these things are true].”
Nous sommes ses témoins de ces choses, ainsi que le Saint-Esprit, que Dieu a donné à ceux qui lui obéissent. »
33 When the Council members heard those words, they became very angry [with the apostles], and they wanted to kill them.
Mais eux, en entendant cela, eurent le cœur serré, et ils étaient résolus à les faire mourir.
34 But [there was a Council member] named Gamaliel. He was a Pharisee, and one who taught people the [Jewish] laws, and all the [Jewish] people respected him. He stood up in the Council and told [guards] to take the apostles out [of the room] for a short time.
Mais quelqu'un se leva dans le sanhédrin, un pharisien nommé Gamaliel, docteur de la loi, honoré de tout le peuple, et ordonna de mettre les apôtres à l'écart pour un peu de temps.
35 [After the guards had taken the apostles out], he said to the other Council members, “Fellow Israelites, you need to think carefully about what you are about to do to these men, [and I will tell you why].
Il leur dit: « Hommes d'Israël, prenez garde à ces hommes, à ce que vous allez faire.
36 Some years ago [a man named] Theudas rebelled [against the Roman government]. He told people that he was an important person, and about 400 men joined [him. But he was killed] {[soldiers] killed him} and all those who had been accompanying him were scattered. [So they] were not able to do anything [that they had planned].
Car, avant ces jours-ci, Theudas s'est levé, se faisant passer pour quelqu'un, et un certain nombre d'hommes, environ quatre cents, se sont joints à lui. Il fut tué, et tous ceux qui lui obéissaient furent dispersés et réduits à néant.
37 After that, during the time when they were (writing down names of the people/taking the census) [in order to tax people, a man named] Judas from Galilee [province] rebelled [against the Roman government]. He persuaded some people to accompany him. But [soldiers] killed him, too, and all those who had accompanied him went off in different directions.
Après cet homme, Judas de Galilée se leva au temps de l'inscription, et il entraîna quelques personnes après lui. Lui aussi a péri, et tous ceux qui lui obéissaient ont été dispersés.
38 So now I say [this] to you: Do not harm these men! Release them! I say this because if [this is just something] that humans have planned, they will not be able to do it. They will fail, [like Theudas and Judas did]
Maintenant, je vous le dis, retirez-vous de ces hommes et laissez-les tranquilles. Car si ce conseil ou cette œuvre est le fait des hommes, il sera renversé.
39 But, if God [has commanded them to do it], you will not be able to prevent them [from doing it, because] you will find out that you are opposing God!” The other members of the Council accepted what Gamaliel said.
Mais si elle est de Dieu, vous ne pourrez pas la renverser, et l'on trouverait même que vous luttez contre Dieu! ».
40 They told the [temple guards to bring the apostles and flog them. So the guards] brought them [into the Council room] and flogged them. Then the Council members commanded them not to speak to people about [MTY] Jesus, and they released the apostles.
Ils furent d'accord avec lui. Ils convoquèrent les apôtres, les battirent, leur ordonnèrent de ne pas parler au nom de Jésus, et les relâchèrent.
41 So the apostles left the Council. They were rejoicing, because [they knew God] had honored them [by letting people] disgrace them because they were followers [MTY] of Jesus.
Ils s'éloignèrent donc de la présence du sanhédrin, se réjouissant d'avoir été jugés dignes de subir l'opprobre pour le nom de Jésus.
42 And every day [the apostles went to] the temple [area] and to various [people’s] houses, [and] they continued [LIT] teaching [people] and telling [them] that Jesus is the Messiah.
Chaque jour, dans le temple et dans les foyers, ils ne cessaient d'enseigner et de prêcher Jésus, le Christ.
