Luke 23
1 Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
Et toute l’assemblée se levant, ils le menèrent à 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!”
Et ils commencèrent à l’accuser, disant: Nous avons trouvé celui-ci pervertissant notre nation, défendant de payer le tribut à César, et disant qu’il est Christ 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.”
Or Pilate l’interrogea, disant: Es-tu le roi des Juifs? Jésus répondant, dit: 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 princes des prêtres et à la multitude: Je ne trouve aucune cause de mort 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 eux insistaient, disant: Il soulève le peuple, enseignant par toute la Judée, commençant par la Galilée jusqu’ici.
6 When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
Pilate entendant nommer la Galilée, 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.
Et dès qu’il sut qu’il était de la juridiction d’Hérode, il le renvoya à Hérode, qui était lui-même 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.
Hérode, voyant Jésus, s’en réjouit beaucoup; car il désirait depuis longtemps de le voir, parce qu’il avait entendu dire beaucoup de choses de lui, et qu’il espérait lui voir faire quelque miracle.
9 So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
Il lui faisait donc beaucoup de questions; mais Jésus ne lui répondait rien.
10 The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
Cependant se trouvaient là les princes des prêtres et les scribes, l’accusant sans relâche.
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.
Mais Hérode avec sa cour le méprisa; il se joua de lui après l’avoir revêtu d’une robe blanche, et 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.
Et Hérode et Pilate devinrent amis ce jour-là même; auparavant ils étaient ennemis l’un de l’autre.
13 Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
Or Pilate ayant convoqué les princes des prêtres, les magistrats et le peuple,
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.
Leur dit: Vous m’avez présenté cet homme comme soulevant le peuple; et voilà que, l’interrogeant devant vous, je n’ai rien trouvé en lui de ce 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; car je vous ai envoyés à lui, et on ne l’a convaincu de rien qui mérite la mort.
16 So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Je le renverrai donc après l’avoir fait châtier.
Car il était obligé de leur remettre un prisonnier pendant la fête.
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
Mais la foule tout entière cria: Otez celui-ci du monde, et délivrez-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].
(Lequel, à cause d’une sédition qui s’était faite dans la ville, et d’un meurtre, avait été mis en prison.)
20 Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
Pilate leur parla de nouveau, désirant renvoyer Jésus.
21 But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
Mais eux redoublaient leurs clameurs, disant: Crucifiez-le, crucifiez-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.”
Et Pilate, pour la troisième fois, leur dit: Mais quel mal a fait celui-ci? Je ne trouve aucune cause de mort en lui; je le châtierai donc et le renverrai.
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 avec de grands cris, demandant qu’on le crucifiât; et leurs cris devenaient de plus en plus forts.
24 Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
Et Pilate ordonna que ce qu’ils demandaient fût exécuté.
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.
Ainsi il leur délivra celui qui avait été mis en prison pour cause de sédition et de meurtre, et qu’ils demandaient, 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.
Or comme ils l’emmenaient, ils prirent un certain Simon de Cyrène, qui revenait des champs, et le chargèrent de porter la croix 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.
Or une grande foule de peuple et de femmes le suivaient, se frappant la poitrine et se lamentant 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, 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 viendront des jours où l’on dira: Heureuses les stériles, et les entrailles qui n’ont pas engendré, 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 ils commenceront à dire aux montagnes: Tombez sur nous: et aux collines: 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 ainsi au bois vert, que sera-t-il fait 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 avec lui deux autres hommes qui étaient des malfaiteurs, pour les mettre à mort.
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].
Et lorsqu’ils furent arrivés au lieu qui est appelé Calvaire, ils le crucifièrent, et les voleurs aussi, 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: Mon Père, pardonnez-leur, car ils ne savent ce qu’ils font. Partageant ensuite ses vêtements, ils y jetèrent le 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!”
Et le peuple était là, regardant, et les chefs le raillaient avec le peuple, disant: Il a sauvé les autres; qu’il se sauve, 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 mêmes, s’approchant, l’insultaient, lui présentant du vinaigre,
37 They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
Et disant: Si tu es le roi des Juifs, sauve-toi.
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’.
Il y avait aussi au-dessus de lui une inscription où était écrit en caractères grecs, latins et hébreux: 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 voleurs qui étaient suspendus en croix le blasphémait, disant: Si tu es le Christ, sauve-toi toi-même, et nous aussi.
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, répondant, le reprenait, disant: Ne crains-tu point Dieu, quand tu 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!”
Encore pour nous, c’est avec justice; car nous recevons ce que nos actions méritent; mais celui-ci n’a rien fait de mal.
42 Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
Et il disait à Jésus: Seigneur, souvenez-vous de moi quand vous serez arrivé dans votre royaume.
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!)
Et Jésus lui dit: En vérité, je te le dis, 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 environ la sixième heure, et les ténèbres couvrirent toute la terre 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].
Et 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, criant d’une voix forte, Jésus dit: Mon Père, je remets mon esprit entre vos mains. Et disant 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!”
Or le centurion voyant ce qui était arrivé, glorifia Dieu, disant: Vraiment 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 toute la multitude de ceux qui assistaient à ce spectacle, et qui voyaient ce qui se passait, s’en retournaient, frappant leur 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.
Tous ceux de la connaissance de Jésus, et les femmes qui l’avaient suivi de Galilée, se tenaient à l’écart, considérant toutes ces choses.
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.
Mais voilà qu’un décurion nommé Joseph, homme bon 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 consenti ni au dessein, ni aux actes des autres, et qui était d’Arimathie, ville de Galilée, et attendait lui-même 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],
Vint vers 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.
Et l’ayant détaché de la croix, il l’enveloppa d’un linceul, et le mit dans un sépulcre 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].
Or 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 suivi Joseph, virent le sépulcre, et comment le corps de Jésus y avait été mis.
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.
Et s’en retournant, elles préparèrent des aromates et des parfums; et pendant le sabbat, elles demeurèrent en repos, selon la loi.
