Luke 23
1 Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
Puis toute l'assemblée, s'étant levée, le mena devant Pilate.
2 They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
Alors ils se mirent à l'accuser, en disant: Nous avons trouvé cet homme soulevant notre nation, défendant de payer le tribut à César, et se disant le Christ, le Roi.
3 Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
Pilate lui demanda: C'est toi qui es le roi des Juifs? Jésus lui répondit: Tu le dis!
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
Alors Pilate dit aux principaux sacrificateurs et au peuple: Je ne trouve rien de criminel en cet homme.
5 But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
Mais ils insistaient plus fortement en disant: Il soulève le peuple, en enseignant dans toute la Judée; après avoir commencé par la Galilée, il est venu jusqu'ici.
6 When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
Lorsque Pilate entendit cela, il demanda si cet homme était Galiléen.
7 When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
Apprenant que Jésus était de la juridiction d'Hérode, il le renvoya à Hérode, qui se trouvait aussi à Jérusalem en ces jours-là.
8 [So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
Quand Hérode vit Jésus, il eut une grande joie; car depuis longtemps il désirait le voir, à cause de ce qu'il avait entendu dire de lui, et il espérait qu'il lui verrait faire quelque miracle.
9 So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
Il lui adressa donc plusieurs questions; mais Jésus ne lui répondit rien.
10 The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
Et les principaux sacrificateurs et les scribes étaient là, qui l'accusaient avec véhémence.
11 Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
Alors Hérode, ainsi que les gens de sa garde, le traita avec mépris et se moqua de lui; puis, après l'avoir revêtu d'un manteau éclatant, il le renvoya à Pilate.
12 Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
Ce jour-là même, Pilate et Hérode devinrent amis, d'ennemis qu'ils étaient auparavant.
13 Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
Pilate, ayant réuni les principaux sacrificateurs, les magistrats et le peuple, leur dit:
14 He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
Vous m'avez amené cet homme, l'accusant de soulever le peuple; et cependant, après l'avoir interrogé en votre présence, je ne l'ai trouvé coupable d'aucun des crimes dont vous l'accusez,
15 [Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
ni Hérode non plus, puisqu'il nous l'a renvoyé: il n'a donc rien fait qui mérite la mort.
16 So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Ainsi, après l'avoir fait châtier, je le relâcherai.
[Or, à chaque fête, Pilate était obligé de leur relâcher un prisonnier].
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
Alors ils se mirent à crier tous ensemble: Fais mourir celui-ci, et relâche-nous Barabbas!
19 Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
Or, cet homme avait été mis en prison pour une sédition qui avait eu lieu dans la ville, et pour un meurtre.
20 Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
Pilate leur parla de nouveau, dans le dessein de délivrer Jésus.
21 But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
Mais ils crièrent; Crucifie-le! crucifie-le!
22 He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Il leur dit pour la troisième fois: Quel mal a-t-il donc fait? Je n'ai rien trouvé en lui qui mérite la mort. Ainsi, après l'avoir fait châtier, je le relâcherai.
23 But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
Mais ils insistaient, demandant à grands cris qu'il fût crucifié, et leurs clameurs l'emportèrent.
24 Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
Pilate prononça la sentence qui répondait à leur désir.
25 The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
Il relâcha donc celui qui avait été mis en prison pour sédition et pour meurtre, et qu'ils réclamaient; et il abandonna Jésus à leur volonté.
26 As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
Comme ils l'emmenaient, ils prirent un homme de Cyrène, nommé Simon, qui revenait des champs; et ils le chargèrent de la croix, pour qu'il la portât derrière Jésus.
27 A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
Le peuple, en grande multitude, suivait Jésus, ainsi que des femmes qui se frappaient la poitrine et qui pleuraient sur lui.
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
Mais Jésus, se tournant vers elles, leur dit: Filles de Jérusalem, ne pleurez pas sur moi, mais pleurez sur vous-mêmes et sur vos enfants!
29 I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
Car voici que les jours viennent où l'on dira: Heureuses les stériles, heureuses les entrailles qui n'ont pas enfanté, et les mamelles qui n'ont point allaité!
30 Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
Alors les hommes se mettront à dire aux montagnes: Tombez sur nous!!- et aux coteaux: Couvrez-nous!
31 [I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
Car si l'on fait ces choses au bois vert, qu'arrivera-t-il au bois sec?
32 Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
On conduisait aussi deux autres hommes, des malfaiteurs, pour les faire mourir avec lui.
33 When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
Quand ils furent arrivés au lieu appelé le lieu du Crâne, ils le crucifièrent là, ainsi que les malfaiteurs, l'un à sa droite, et l'autre à sa gauche.
34 Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
Mais Jésus disait: Père, pardonne-leur; car ils ne savent ce qu'ils font. Puis, ils se partagèrent ses vêtements, en les tirant au sort.
35 Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
Le peuple se tenait là et regardait. Et les chefs se moquaient, en disant: Il en a sauvé d'autres; qu'il se sauve lui-même, s'il est le Christ, l'élu de Dieu!
36 The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
Les soldats aussi le tournaient en dérision. Ils s'approchaient et lui présentaient du vinaigre
37 They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
en disant: Si tu es le roi des Juifs, sauve-toi toi-même!
38 [They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
Au-dessus de sa tête, il y avait cette inscription: Celui-ci est le roi des Juifs.
39 One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
Or, l'un des malfaiteurs qui avaient été crucifiés, l'injuriait, en disant: N'es-tu pas le Christ? Sauve-toi toi-même, et nous avec toi!
40 But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
Mais l'autre, le reprenant, lui dit: Ne crains-tu pas Dieu, toi qui subis la même condamnation?
41 They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
Pour nous, ce n'est que justice, car nous recevons ce que nos actions ont mérité; mais celui-ci n'a fait aucun mal.
42 Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
Puis il disait; Jésus, souviens-toi de moi, quand tu viendras dans ton règne!
43 Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
Jésus lui répondit: En vérité, je te le déclare, aujourd'hui tu seras avec moi dans le paradis.
44 [Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Il était déjà environ la sixième heure, et il y eut des ténèbres sur tout le pays jusqu'à la neuvième heure.
45 There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
Le soleil s'obscurcit, et le voile du temple se déchira par le milieu.
46 [As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
Alors Jésus jeta un grand cri et dit: Père, je remets mon esprit entre tes mains! Et après avoir dit cela, il expira.
47 When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
Le centenier, voyant ce qui était arrivé, donna gloire à Dieu et dit: Certainement cet homme était juste.
48 When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
Et tout le peuple qui était accouru à ce spectacle, voyant ce qui s'était passé, s'en retournait en se frappant la poitrine.
49 All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
Mais ceux qui connaissaient Jésus, ainsi que les femmes qui l'avaient suivi de la Galilée, se tenaient tous à distance et regardaient.
50 There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
Il y avait un homme, appelé Joseph, qui était membre du Sanhédrin, homme droit et juste,
51 But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
qui n'avait pas consenti au dessein des autres, ni à ce qu'ils avaient fait. Il était d'Arimathée, ville de Judée, et il attendait le royaume de Dieu.
52 He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
Il vint donc trouver Pilate et lui demanda le corps de Jésus.
53 he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
Après l'avoir descendu de la croix, il l'enveloppa d'un linceul et le déposa dans un tombeau, taillé dans le roc, où personne n'avait encore été mis.
54 [They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
C'était le jour de la préparation, et le sabbat allait commencer.
55 The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
Les femmes qui étaient venues de la Galilée avec Jésus, ayant accompagné Joseph, virent le tombeau, et comment le corps de Jésus y avait été placé.
56 Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
Puis s'en étant retournées, elles préparèrent des aromates et des parfums. Le jour du sabbat, elles se reposèrent, conformément à la loi.
