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].
En ce même temps, quelques personnes, qui se trouvaient là, racontèrent à Jésus ce qui était arrivé aux 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?
Jésus, prenant la parole, leur dit: Pensez-vous que ces Galiléens fussent de plus grands pécheurs que tous les autres Galiléens, parce qu'ils ont souffert ainsi?
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? vous dis-je; mais si vous ne vous repentez, vous périrez tous pareillement.
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?
Ou bien, ces dix-huit personnes, sur qui la tour de Siloé est tombée et qu'elle a tuées, pensez-vous qu'elles fussent plus coupables que 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, vous dis-je; mais si vous ne vous repentez, vous périrez tous également.
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 disait aussi cette parabole: Un homme avait un figuier planté dans sa vigne; il vint y chercher du fruit et 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]’
Alors il dit au vigneron: Voilà trois ans que je viens chercher du fruit à ce figuier et que je n'en trouve pas. Coupe-le; pourquoi occupe-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.
Le vigneron lui répondit: Seigneur, laisse-le encore cette année; je creuserai tout autour et j'y 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 qu'à l'avenir il portera du fruit; sinon tu le feras couper.
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
Jésus enseignait dans une synagogue un jour de sabbat.
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.
Or, il y avait là une femme possédée d'un esprit qui la rendait infirme depuis dix-huit ans; elle était courbée et ne pouvait pas du tout 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!”
Jésus, la voyant, l'appela et lui dit: Femme, tu es délivrée de ton infirmité;
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
et il lui imposa les mains. A l'instant, elle se redressa, et elle se mit à rendre 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!”
Alors le chef de la synagogue, indigné de ce que Jésus avait fait cette guérison un jour de sabbat, prit la parole et, dit à la foule: Il y a six jours pendant lesquels on doit travailler venez donc ces jours-là pour être guéris, et non pas le jour du sabbat.
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]!
Mais le Seigneur lui répondit: Hypocrites, chacun de vous, le jour du sabbat, ne détache-t-il pas de la crèche son boeuf ou son âne pour le 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 fille d'Abraham, que Satan tenait liée depuis dix-huit ans, ne fallait-il pas la délivrer de ce lien le jour du sabbat?
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.
Comme il parlait ainsi, tons ses adversaires étaient confus, et tout le peuple se réjouissait 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.
Et Jésus disait donc: A quoi ressemble 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 moutarde, qu'un homme a pris et a jeté dans son jardin; il a poussé, 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 mêle à trois mesures de farine, pour faire lever toute la pâte.
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].
Jésus traversait les villes et les villages, en enseignant, tandis qu'il se dirigeait 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 demanda: Seigneur, n'y a-t-il qu'un petit nombre de gens qui soient sauvés? Il leur répondit:
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 je vous le déclare, il y en a beaucoup qui chercheront à entrer, et ils ne le pourront 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!’
Et quand le maître de la maison se sera levé et aura fermé la porte, et que vous, qui serez restés dehors, vous vous mettrez à frapper et à dire: Seigneur, ouvre-nous! — 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 en ta présence, et tu as enseigné sur nos places publiques.
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 répondra: Je vous le dis, je ne sais d'où vous êtes; retirez-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 qu'il y aura des pleurs et, des grincements de dents, quand vous verrez Abraham, Isaac et Jacob, et tous les prophètes, dans le royaume de Dieu, et que vous serez jetés 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).
Il en viendra de l'Orient et de l'Occident, du Nord et du Midi, qui se mettront 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 voici qu'il y en a des derniers qui seront les premiers; et il y en a des premiers qui seront les 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: Pars, éloigne-toi d'ici Hérode veut te faire mourir.
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 que je chasse les démons. J'opère des guérisons aujourd'hui et demain, et le troisième jour j'achève ma vie.
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 que je marche aujourd'hui, demain, et le jour suivant, parce qu'il ne convient pas 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, toi qui tues les prophètes et qui lapides ceux qui te sont envoyés, combien de fois j'ai voulu rassembler tes enfants, comme une poule rassemble sa couvée sous ses ailes, et vous ne l'avez 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]!’”
Voici que votre demeure vous sera laissée dans l'abandon. Et je vous déclare que vous ne me verrez plus, jusqu'à ce que vous disiez: «Béni soit celui qui vient au nom du Seigneur!»
