Hebrews 13
1 Continue to love your fellow believers.
Que l'amour fraternel continue.
2 Do not forget to be hospitable to needy travelers [LIT]. You need to know that by being hospitable, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
N'oubliez pas de donner l'hospitalité aux étrangers, car en agissant ainsi, certains ont reçu des anges sans le savoir.
3 Remember [to help] those who are in prison [because they are Christians], as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are being mistreated {whom people are mistreating} [because they are believers. As you do that], consider that you you could suffer as they do.
Souvenez-vous de ceux qui sont dans les liens, comme liés à eux, et de ceux qui sont maltraités, puisque vous êtes aussi dans le corps.
4 You must (respect/keep sacred) the marriage relationship in every way, and you must keep sexual relations [EUP] pure, because God will surely condemn those who act immorally and those who act adulterously.
Que le mariage soit honoré entre tous, et que le lit soit exempt de souillures; mais Dieu jugera les impudiques et les adultères.
5 Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what [Moses] wrote [that God] has said [about supplying what you need], I will never leave you, I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
Soyez libres de l'amour de l'argent, satisfaits de ce que vous avez, car il a dit: « Je ne vous quitterai pas, et je ne vous abandonnerai pas. »
6 So we can say confidently [as the Psalmist said], Since the Lord is the one who helps me, I will not be afraid! People can do nothing to me [that will deprive me of God’s blessings] [RHQ].
Ainsi, c'est avec courage que nous disons, « Le Seigneur est mon aide. Je ne crains rien. Que peut me faire l'homme? »
7 Your spiritual leaders used to tell you the message from God [before they died]. Remember how they conducted their lives. By considering (how they died/what resulted from how they lived), imitate how they believed [in Christ/God].
Souvenez-vous de vos chefs, des hommes qui vous ont annoncé la parole de Dieu, et, considérant les résultats de leur conduite, imitez leur foi.
Jésus-Christ est le même hier, aujourd'hui et à jamais. (aiōn g165)
9 [So], do not let yourselves be diverted {let anything divert you} so that you believe various teachings [that are contrary to God’s truth]. It is good that God acts kindly toward us so that we may be strengthened spiritually. [Obeying rules about] various foods, rules that have not benefited those who obeyed them, will not benefit us.
Ne vous laissez pas entraîner par des enseignements divers et étranges, car il est bon que le cœur soit affermi par la grâce, et non par des aliments, dont n'ont pas profité ceux qui étaient ainsi occupés.
10 We have [Jesus] [MTY]. All those who continue to observe the Jewish rituals [MTY] of sacrifice have no right to obtain the benefits of his sacrifice [MET].
Nous avons un autel sur lequel ceux qui servent la sainteté du tabernacle n'ont pas le droit de manger.
11 After the high priest brings into the most holy place the blood of animals [that they have sacrificed to atone] for sins, the bodies of those animals are burned {they burn the bodies of those animals} outside the camp.
Car les corps de ces animaux, dont le sang est apporté dans le lieu saint par le grand prêtre en sacrifice pour le péché, sont brûlés hors du camp.
12 Similarly, Jesus suffered [and died] outside the gate [of Jerusalem] in order that he might make [us], his people, holy by [offering] his own blood [as a sacrifice to atone for our sins].
C'est pourquoi Jésus aussi, afin de sanctifier le peuple par son propre sang, a souffert hors de la porte.
13 So, we must abandon [performing Jewish] sacrifices and rituals [MET] [in order to be saved], and let us go to Jesus [to be saved]. As we do that, we must [be willing to] let others reproach us just like people reproached Jesus.
Allons donc vers lui hors du camp, en portant son opprobre.
14 Here on earth, we believers do not have a city [such as Jerusalem where we must] continually [offer sacrifices] [MET]. Instead, we are waiting for a future [heavenly] city [that will last forever].
Car nous n'avons pas ici une cité durable, mais nous cherchons celle qui est à venir.
15 With [the help of] Jesus, we must continually praise God. That will be something we can sacrifice [to him] [MET] [instead of our sacrificing animals only at specific times]. Specifically, we must say openly [MTY] [that we have trusted] in Christ [MTY].
Par lui, donc, offrons sans cesse à Dieu un sacrifice de louange, c'est-à-dire le fruit de lèvres qui proclament la fidélité à son nom.
16 Be continually [LIT] doing good deeds [for others], and be continually sharing [with others the things you have], because doing things like that will [also] be [as though you are offering] sacrifices that will please God.
Et n'oubliez pas de faire du bien et de partager, car de tels sacrifices plaisent à Dieu.
17 Obey your [spiritual] leaders; do what they tell you, since they are the ones who are looking out for your spiritual welfare [SYN]. [Some day] they will have to stand before God so that he can say if he approves of what they have done. Obey them in order that they can do the work of guarding you joyfully, and not have to do it sadly, because if you cause them to do it sadly, that will certainly not help you at all (OR, they will not be able to help you at all).
Obéissez à vos chefs et soumettez-vous à eux, car ils veillent sur vos âmes, comme ceux qui devront rendre compte, afin de le faire avec joie et non avec des gémissements, car cela ne vous servirait à rien.
18 Pray for me. I am certain that I have not done anything that displeases God. I have tried to act honorably [toward you] in every way.
Priez pour nous, car nous sommes persuadés d'avoir une bonne conscience, désireux de vivre honorablement en toutes choses.
19 I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
Je vous prie instamment de faire cela, afin que je vous sois rendu plus tôt.
20 Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios g166)
Que le Dieu de la paix, qui a ressuscité d'entre les morts le grand pasteur des brebis avec le sang d'une alliance éternelle, notre Seigneur Jésus, (aiōnios g166)
21 So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
vous accomplisse en toute bonne œuvre pour faire sa volonté, en travaillant en vous ce qui est agréable à ses yeux, par Jésus-Christ, à qui soit la gloire aux siècles des siècles. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.
Mais je vous exhorte, frères, à supporter la parole d'exhortation, car je vous ai écrit en peu de mots.
23 I want you to know that our fellow believer Timothy has been released {[the authorities] have released our fellow believer Timothy} [from prison]. If he comes here soon, he will accompany me when I go to see you.
Sachez que notre frère Timothée a été libéré, avec lequel, s'il vient bientôt, je vous verrai.
24 Tell all your [spiritual] leaders and all the [other] fellow believers [in your city] that (I am thinking fondly about them/I am sending them my greetings). The believers [in this area who have come] from Italy [want you to know they] are (thinking about you/sending you their greetings).
Saluez tous vos chefs et tous les saints. Les Italiens vous saluent.
25 [I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
Que la grâce soit avec vous tous. Amen.
