Luke 10
1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Après cela, le Seigneur désigna encore soixante-dix autres disciples; et il les envoya deux à deux devant lui, dans toutes les villes et dans tous les lieux où il devait aller lui-même.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Il leur disait: La moisson est grande; mais il y a peu d'ouvriers. Priez donc le maître de la moisson d'envoyer des ouvriers dans sa moisson.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Allez! Je vous envoie comme des agneaux au milieu des loups.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Ne portez ni bourse, ni sac, ni chaussures, et ne saluez personne en chemin.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Dans quelque maison que vous entriez, dites d'abord: La paix soit sur cette maison!
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Et s'il se trouve là un enfant de la paix, votre paix reposera sur lui; sinon, elle reviendra à vous.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Demeurez dans cette maison-là, mangeant et buvant ce qu'on vous donnera; car l'ouvrier est digne de son salaire. Ne passez point de maison en maison.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Dans quelque ville que vous entriez, si l'on vous reçoit, mangez ce qu'on vous présentera.
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
Guérissez les malades qui s'y trouveront, et dites-leur: Le royaume de Dieu s'est approché de vous.
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Mais, dans quelque ville que vous entriez, si l'on ne vous reçoit pas, allez sur les places publiques et dites:
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
Nous secouons contre vous la poussière même de votre ville, qui s'est attachée à nos pieds; sachez pourtant que le royaume de Dieu s'est approché de vous.
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Je vous dis qu'au dernier jour, Sodome sera traitée moins rigoureusement que cette ville.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Malheur à toi, Corazin! Malheur à toi, Bethsaïda! Car si les miracles qui ont été faits au milieu de vous avaient été faits dans Tyret dans Sidon, il y a longtemps qu'elles se seraient repenties, en prenant le sac et la cendre.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
C'est pourquoi, au jour du jugement, Tyr et Sidon seront traitées moins rigoureusement que vous.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Et toi, Capernaüm qui as été élevée jusqu'au ciel, tu seras abaissée jusqu'en enfer! (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
— Qui vous écoute, m'écoute; qui vous rejette, me rejette; et qui me rejette, rejette Celui qui m'a envoyé.
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Les soixante-dix revinrent avec joie, en disant: Seigneur, les démons mêmes nous sont assujettis en ton nom.
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Alors Jésus leur dit: Je voyais Satan tomber du ciel comme un éclair.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Voici que je vous ai donné le pouvoir de fouler aux pieds les serpents, les scorpions et toute la puissance de l'ennemi; et rien ne pourra vous nuire.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Toutefois, ne vous réjouissez pas de ce que les esprits vous sont assujettis; mais réjouissez-vous de ce que vos noms sont écrits dans les cieux.
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
A cette heure même, Jésus tressaillit de joie par le Saint-Esprit, et il dit: Je te loue, ô Père, Seigneur du ciel et de la terre, de ce que tu as caché ces choses aux sages et aux intelligents, et de ce que tu les as révélées aux petits enfants! Oui, Père, il en est ainsi, parce que tu l'as trouvé bon.
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Toutes choses m'ont été remises par mon Père; et nul ne connaît qui est le Fils, si ce n'est le Père, ni qui est le Père, si ce n'est le Fils, et celui à qui le Fils aura voulu le révéler.
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Puis, se tournant vers ses disciples, il leur dit en particulier: Heureux les yeux qui voient ce que vous voyez!
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Car, je vous le déclare, beaucoup de prophètes et de rois ont souhaité de voir ce que vous voyez, et ils ne l'ont pas vu, et d'entendre ce que vous entendez, et ils ne l'ont pas entendu.
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Alors un docteur de la loi se leva pour mettre Jésus à l'épreuve, et il lui dit: Maître, que ferai-je pour hériter la vie éternelle? (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Jésus lui dit: Qu'est-ce qui est écrit dans la loi? Qu'y lis-tu?
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Il répondit: «Tu aimeras le Seigneur, ton Dieu, de tout ton coeur, de toute ton âme, de toute ta force et de toute ta pensée, et ton prochain comme toi-même.»
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Jésus lui dit: Tu as bien répondu fais cela, et tu vivras.
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Mais cet homme, voulant se justifier, dit à Jésus: Et qui est mon prochain?
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Jésus reprit la parole et dit: Un homme descendait de Jérusalem à Jérico. Il tomba entre les mains de brigands qui le dépouillèrent, et qui, après l'avoir couvert de blessures, s'en allèrent, le laissant à demi-mort.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Or, il se trouva qu'un sacrificateur descendait par ce chemin-là; il vit cet homme, et il passa outre.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Un lévite aussi, étant venu en cet endroit, s'approcha et, l'ayant vu, il passa outre.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Mais un Samaritain, qui était en voyage, arriva près de lui, et, l'ayant vu, il fut touché de compassion.
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
Il s'approcha et banda ses plaies, en y versant de l'huile et du vin; puis il le mit sur sa propre monture, le conduisit à une hôtellerie et prit soin de lui.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Le lendemain, il prit deux deniers, les donna à l'hôtelier et lui dit: Aie soin de lui; et tout ce que tu dépenseras de plus, je te le rendrai à mon retour.
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Lequel de ces trois te paraît avoir été le prochain de celui qui était tombé entre les mains des brigands?
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Le docteur de la loi répondit: C'est celui qui a exercé la miséricorde envers lui. Jésus dit: Va, et fais de même!
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Comme ils étaient en chemin, il entra dans un village, et une femme, nommée Marthe, le reçut dans sa maison.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Elle avait une soeur, appelée Marie, qui, se tenant assise aux pieds du Seigneur, écoutait sa parole.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Or, Marthe était absorbée par divers soins; elle vint et dit à Jésus: Seigneur, ne considères-tu pas que ma soeur me laisse servir toute seule? Dis-lui donc de m'aider.
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Le Seigneur lui répondit: Marthe, Marthe, tu te mets en peine et tu t'agites pour beaucoup de choses;
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
mais une seule chose est nécessaire. Et Marie a choisi la bonne part qui ne lui sera point ôtée.
