Luke 13
1 Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
Vers cette même époque, quelques-uns vinrent lui raconter ce qui s'était passé au sujet des Galiléens dont Pilate avait mêlé le sang à celui de leurs sacrifices.
2 Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
Voici ce qu'il leur répondit: «Croyez-vous que ces Galiléens fussent de plus grands pécheurs que tous leurs compatriotes, parce qu'il leur est arrivé ce malheur?
3 I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
Non, je vous le déclare; mais si vous ne vous repentez pas, vous périrez tous semblablement.
4 Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
Comme ces dix-huit personnes sur qui s'écroula la tour près du Siloam, et qui furent tuées, croyez-vous que leur dette dépassât celle de tous les autres habitants de Jérusalem?
5 I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
non, je vous le déclare, mais si vous ne vous repentez pas, vous périrez tous pareillement.»
6 Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
Il leur raconta cette parabole: «Un homme avait un figuier planté dans sa vigne; il vint y chercher du fruit, mais n'en trouva point.
7 Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
Voilà trois ans, dit-il alors au vigneron, que je, viens chercher du fruit sur ce figuier, et que je n'en trouve point; coupe-le; pourquoi épuise-t-il la terre inutilement?» —
8 But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
«Seigneur, lui répondit le vigneron, laisse-le encore cette année; je bêcherai tout autour, je mettrai du fumier;
9 If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
peut-être portera-t-il du fruit dans l'avenir; sinon, tu le couperas.»
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
Un jour de sabbat, il enseignait dans une des synagogues.
11 There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
Une femme était là, possédée d'un Esprit qui la tenait infirme depuis dix-huit ans. Elle était toute courbée, et ne pouvait absolument pas se redresser.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
Quand Jésus la vit, il l'appela et lui dit: «Femme, tu es délivrée de ton infirmité», et il lui imposa les mains.
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
Immédiatement elle redevint droite. Cette femme rendait gloire à Dieu,
14 But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
lorsque le chef de la synagogue se mit à parler avec indignation de ce que Jésus guérissait pendant le sabbat. Il y a six jours pendant lesquels on doit travailler, disait-il à la foule: «Venez, ces jours-là, vous faire guérir; mais le jour du sabbat, non point.» —
15 Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
«Hypocrites, dit le Seigneur en lui répondant, est-ce que chacun de vous, le jour du sabbat, ne détache pas du râtelier son boeuf ou son âne pour les mener boire?
16 This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
Et cette femme, qui est une fille d'Abraham, que, depuis dix-huit années, Satan tenait garrottée, ne fallait-il pas, le jour du sabbat, la délivrer de sa chaîne?»
17 After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
Ces paroles couvrirent de confusion tous ses adversaires. Quant à la foule, elle était dans la joie de toutes les choses glorieuses qu'il accomplissait.
18 Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
Alors il disait: «A quoi est semblable le Royaume de Dieu, et à quoi le comparerai-je?
19 It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
Il est semblable à un grain de sénevé qu'un homme a pris et a jeté dans son jardin; il a crû, il est devenu un arbre et les oiseaux du ciel ont fait leurs nids dans ses branches.»
20 Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
Il dit encore: «A quoi comparerai-je le Royaume de Dieu?
21 It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
Il est semblable à du levain qu'une femme prend, et qu'elle cache dans trois mesures de farine, jusqu'à ce que le levain ait partout pénétré.»
22 [Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
Il traversait villes et villages en enseignant, et s'avançait vers Jérusalem.
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
Quelqu'un lui dit: «Seigneur, sera-ce un petit nombre seulement qui sera sauvé?» Il répondit à lui et aux autres:
24 [Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
«Efforcez-vous d'entrer par la porte étroite, car beaucoup, je vous le déclare, chercheront à entrer et n'y parviendront pas.
25 [God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
Quand le maître de maison se sera levé et aura fermé la porte, quand vous, restés dehors, vous vous mettrez à frapper et à dire: «Seigneur, ouvre-nous», quand il vous répondra: «Je ne sais d'où vous êtes»,
26 Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
alors vous vous mettrez à dire: «Nous avons mangé et bu devant toi, et c'est sur nos places publiques que tu as enseigné.»
27 But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
Et il dira: «Je vous déclare que je ne sais d'où vous êtes: Éloignez-vous de moi, vous tous, ouvriers d'iniquité.»
28 Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
«C'est là que seront les pleurs et le grincement des dents, alors que vous verrez dans le Royaume de Dieu et Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob, et tous les prophètes, et que, vous-mêmes, vous vous verrez chassés dehors.
29 Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
De l'Orient, de l'Occident, du Nord, du Midi, on viendra et on se mettra à table dans le Royaume de Dieu.
30 Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
Et il se trouvera des derniers qui seront premiers, et il se trouvera des premiers qui seront derniers.»
31 At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
A ce moment-là quelques Pharisiens vinrent lui dire: «Éloigne-toi, pars d'ici, Hérode veut te mettre à mort.»
32 He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
Il leur répondit: «Allez dire à ce renard, qu'aujourd'hui et demain je chasserai des démons et guérirai des malades, et que le troisième jour tout pour moi se terminera.
33 But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
Mais il faut qu'aujourd'hui, demain et le jour suivant je sois en marche, car il n'est pas admissible qu'un prophète périsse hors de Jérusalem.»
34 [Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
«Jérusalem! Jérusalem! qui tues les prophètes et qui lapides ceux qui te sont envoyés, combien de fois ai-je voulu rassembler tes enfants comme la poule rassemble sa couvée sous ses ailes, et tu ne l'as pas voulu!
35 So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
Eh bien, votre demeure vous est laissée! Je vous déclare que vous ne me verrez pas jusqu'à ce qu'il arrive que vous disiez: «Béni soit celui qui vient au nom du Seigneur!»
