Luke 8
1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
Ensuite, Jésus allait de ville en ville et de village en village, prêchant et annonçant la bonne nouvelle du royaume de Dieu;
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
et les Douze étaient avec lui. Il y avait aussi avec eux quelques femmes, qui avaient été délivrées de malins esprits ou guéries de leurs maladies: Marie appelée Madeleine, de laquelle étaient sortis sept démons,
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
Jeanne, femme de Chuzas, intendant d'Hérode, Suzanne et plusieurs autres, qui les assistaient de leurs biens.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
Comme une grande foule s'était rassemblée, et qu'on venait à lui de toutes les villes, Jésus leur dit en parabole:
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
Le semeur sortit pour semer. Et comme il jetait sa semence, il en tomba une partie le long du chemin; elle fut foulée aux pieds, et les oiseaux du ciel la mangèrent toute.
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
Une autre partie tomba sur un sol pierreux; quand elle fut levée, elle sécha, parce qu'elle n'avait point d'humidité.
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
Une autre partie tomba parmi les épines; les épines poussèrent avec la semence et l'étouffèrent.
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
Une autre partie tomba dans la bonne terre; elle leva et produisit du fruit, cent pour un. En disant ces choses, il s'écriait: Que celui qui a des oreilles pour entendre, entende!
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
Ses disciples lui demandèrent ce que signifiait cette parabole.
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
Il répondit: Il vous a été donné de connaître les mystères du royaume de Dieu; mais, aux autres, tout est présenté en forme de paraboles, de sorte qu'en voyant, ils ne voient pas, et qu'en entendant, ils ne comprennent point.
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Voici donc ce que signifie cette parabole: La semence, c'est la parole de Dieu.
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
Ceux qui la reçoivent le long du chemin, ce sont ceux qui l'ont entendue; mais ensuite vient le Diable qui enlève cette parole de leur coeur, de peur qu'ils ne croient et ne soient sauvés.
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
Ceux qui la reçoivent sur le sol pierreux, ce sont ceux qui, entendant la parole, la reçoivent avec joie; mais ils n'ont point de racine, ils ne croient que pour un temps; et, quand l'épreuve survient, ils se retirent.
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
Ce qui est tombé parmi les épines, ce sont ceux qui ont entendu la parole, mais qui s'en vont et la laissent étouffer par les soucis, les richesses et les plaisirs de cette vie, de sorte qu'ils ne portent pas de fruit qui vienne à maturité.
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
Mais ce qui tombe dans la bonne terre, ce sont ceux qui, ayant entendu la parole avec un coeur honnête et bon, la retiennent et portent du fruit avec persévérance.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
Il n'est personne qui, après avoir allumé une lampe, la couvre d'un boisseau ou la mette sous un lit. Au contraire, on la place sur un support, afin que ceux qui entrent voient la lumière.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
En effet, il n'y a rien de secret qui ne doive être manifesté, ni rien de caché qui ne doive être connu et mis en évidence.
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
Prenez donc garde à la manière dont vous écoutez; car on donnera à celui qui a, mais à celui qui n'a pas, on ôtera même ce qu'il croit avoir.
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
Sa mère et ses frères vinrent le trouver; mais ils ne pouvaient l'aborder à cause de la foule.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
On vint donc lui dire: Ta mère et tes frères sont là dehors, qui désirent te voir.
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Mais il répondit: Ma mère et mes frères, ce sont ceux qui écoutent la parole de Dieu et qui la mettent en pratique!
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
Un jour, il entra dans une barque avec ses disciples, et il leur dit: Passons de l'autre côté du lac; et ils partirent.
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
Comme ils voguaient, Jésus s'endormit. Un tourbillon de vent vint s'abattre sur le lac; la barque se remplissait d'eau et ils étaient en danger.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
Alors ils vinrent à lui, et le réveillèrent en lui disant: Maître, Maître, nous périssons! Mais lui, s'étant réveillé, imposa silence au vent et aux flots, qui s'apaisèrent, et il se fit un grand calme.
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
Il leur dit alors: Où est votre foi? Et, saisis de crainte et d'admiration, ils se disaient entre eux: Quel est donc celui-ci? Il commande même aux vents et aux flots, et ils lui obéissent!
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
Ils abordèrent ensuite au pays des Géraséniens, qui est vis-à-vis de la Galilée.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
Et quand Jésus fut descendu à terre, il vint au devant de lui un homme de la ville, qui était possédé de plusieurs démons. Depuis fort longtemps il ne portait pas de vêtement, et il ne demeurait pas dans une maison, mais dans les tombeaux.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
Dès qu'il vit Jésus, il poussa un grand cri, et, se jetant à ses pieds, il dit d'une voix forte: Qu'y a-t-il entre moi et toi, Jésus, Fils du Dieu très haut? Je t'en supplie ne me tourmente pas!
En effet, l'esprit impur venait de recevoir de Jésus l'ordre de sortir de cet homme, dont il s'était rendu maître depuis longtemps; et, bien qu'on gardât le malade, lié de chaînes et les fers aux pieds, il rompait ses liens et était emporté par le démon dans les déserts.
30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
Jésus lui demanda: Quel est ton nom? Il répondit: Légion! Car plusieurs démons étaient entrés en lui.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
Et ils suppliaient Jésus de ne pas leur commander d'aller dans l'abîme. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
Or, il y avait là un grand troupeau de pourceaux qui paissaient dans la montagne. Les démons supplièrent Jésus de leur permettre d'entrer dans ces pourceaux; et il le leur permit.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Etant donc sortis de cet homme ils entrèrent dans les pourceaux; le troupeau se précipita dans le lac, du haut de la falaise, et il s'y noya.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
Ceux qui le faisaient paître, voyant ce qui était arrivé, s'enfuirent et répandirent la nouvelle dans la ville et dans la campagne.
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
Alors les gens sortirent pour voir ce qui s'était passé; et, quand ils furent arrivés auprès de Jésus, ils trouvèrent l'homme, de qui les démons étaient sortis, assis aux pieds de Jésus, habillé et dans son bon sens; et ils furent saisis de crainte.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
Les témoins de l'événement leur racontèrent comment le démoniaque avait été délivré.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
Tous les habitants de la contrée des Géraséniens prièrent Jésus de se retirer de chez eux; car ils étaient saisis d'une grande frayeur. Il entra donc dans la barque pour s'en retourner.
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
Et l'homme, de qui les démons étaient sortis, lui demandait la permission de rester avec lui; mais Jésus le renvoya, en disant:
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
Retourne dans ta maison, et raconte tout ce que Dieu a fait pour toi. Il s'en alla donc, publiant par toute la ville tout ce que Jésus lui avait fait.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
A son retour, Jésus fut reçu par la foule; car tous l'attendaient.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
Et il vint un homme appelé Jaïrus, qui était chef de la synagogue. Il se jeta aux pieds de Jésus, en le priant de venir dans sa maison,
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
parce qu'il avait une fille unique, âgée de douze ans, qui se mourait. Pendant que Jésus s'y rendait, la foule le pressait de tous côtés.
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
Alors une femme, qui avait une perte de sang depuis douze ans et qui avait dépensé tout son bien en médecins, sans avoir pu être guérie par aucun,
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
s'approcha de lui par derrière et toucha le bord de son vêtement; et à l'instant, sa perte de sang s'arrêta.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
Alors Jésus dit: Qui m'a touché? Comme tous s'en défendaient, Pierre et ceux qui étaient avec lui, répondirent: Maître, la foule t'environne et te presse!
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Jésus reprit: Quelqu'un m'a touché; car j'ai senti qu'une force est sortie de moi.
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
La femme, voyant qu'elle n'avait pu rester cachée, vint toute tremblante se jeter à ses pieds; et elle expliqua, devant tout le peuple, pourquoi elle l'avait touché, et comment elle avait été immédiatement guérie.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
Jésus lui dit: Ma fille, ta foi t'a sauvée; va en paix.
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
Comme il parlait encore, quelqu'un vint de la maison du chef de la synagogue et dit à ce dernier: Ta fille est morte; n'importune plus le Maître.
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Mais Jésus, l'ayant entendu, dit à Jaïrus: Ne crains point! Crois seulement, et elle sera sauvée.
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
Quand il fut arrivé à la maison, il ne laissa entrer avec lui que Pierre, Jacques et Jean, et le père et la mère de l'enfant.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
Tous pleuraient et se lamentaient sur elle. Alors Jésus dit: Ne pleurez pas; elle n'est pas morte, mais elle dort.
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
Et ils se moquaient de lui, sachant qu'elle était morte.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Mais Jésus la prit par la main, et dit à haute voix: Mon enfant, lève-toi!
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
Alors l'esprit lui revint; elle se leva à l'instant, et il commanda de lui donner à manger.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
Ses parents furent saisis d'étonnement; mais il leur défendit de dire à personne ce qui était arrivé.
