Mark 13
1 While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
Comme Jésus sortait du temple, un de ses disciples lui dit: Maître, regarde quelles pierres et quels bâtiments!
2 Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
Jésus lui répondit: Tu vois ces grands bâtiments? Pas une pierre n'y restera sur une autre pierre: tout sera renversé.
3 After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
Comme il était assis sur la montagne des Oliviers, vis-à-vis du temple, Pierre, Jacques, Jean et André le prirent à part, pour lui poser cette question:
4 “Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
Dis-nous quand toutes ces choses arriveront, et à quel signe on connaîtra qu'elles vont s'accomplir?
5 Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
Jésus se mit à leur dire: Prenez garde que personne ne vous séduise.
6 Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
Plusieurs viendront en mon nom, disant: C'est moi qui suis le Christ! Et ils séduiront beaucoup de gens.
7 Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
Quand vous entendrez parler de guerres et de bruits de guerres, ne vous troublez pas: il faut que ces choses arrivent; mais ce ne sera pas encore la fin.
8 [Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
Car on verra s'élever nation contre nation, royaume contre royaume. Il y aura des tremblements de terre en divers lieux; il y aura des famines. Ce ne sera là que le commencement des douleurs.
9 Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
Vous, soyez sur vos gardes! On vous traduira devant les tribunaux; vous serez frappés dans les synagogues, et vous comparaîtrez en présence des gouverneurs et des rois, à cause de moi, pour rendre témoignage devant eux.
10 My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
Mais il faut tout d'abord que l'Évangile soit prêché à toutes les nations.
11 And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
Or, quand on vous emmènera pour vous livrer, ne vous mettez pas d'avance en peine de ce que vous aurez à dire, mais dites ce qui vous sera inspiré à cette heure même; car ce ne sera pas vous qui parlerez, mais ce sera le Saint-Esprit.
12 [Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
Alors le frère livrera son frère à la mort, et le père son enfant; et les enfants se soulèveront contre leurs parents et les feront mourir.
13 [In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
Et vous serez haïs de tous à cause de mon nom; mais celui-là qui persévérera jusqu'à la fin, celui-là sera sauvé.
14 [During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
Quand vous verrez l'abomination de la désolation établie où elle ne doit pas être — que celui qui lit cela, fasse attention! — que ceux qui seront alors dans la Judée s'enfuient dans les montagnes;
15 Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
et que celui qui sera sur le toit ne descende pas, et qu'il n'entre point dans sa maison pour en emporter quoi que ce soit;
16 Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
et que celui qui sera aux champs ne retourne pas en arrière pour prendre son vêtement.
17 But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
Malheur aux femmes qui seront enceintes, et à celles qui allaiteront en ces jours-là!
18 In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
Priez pour que tout cela n'arrive pas en hiver.
En effet, ce seront des jours d'une détresse telle, qu'il n'y en a jamais eu de pareille, — depuis le commencement, quand Dieu créa le monde, jusqu'à maintenant, — et qu'il n'y en aura jamais.
20 If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
Et si le Seigneur n'avait abrégé ces jours-là, aucune créature n'aurait été sauvée; mais, à cause des élus qu'il a choisis, il a abrégé ces jours.
21 [At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
Alors, si quelqu'un vous dit: Voyez, le Christ est ici! — ou: Il est là! — ne le croyez point.
De faux christs et de faux prophètes s'élèveront et ils feront des signes et des prodiges pour séduire, s'il était possible, les élus eux-mêmes.
23 Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
Prenez-y garde: je vous ai tout prédit.
24 After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
En ces jours-là, après ce temps d'affliction, le soleil s'obscurcira, la lune ne donnera plus sa lumière,
25 the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
les étoiles tomberont du ciel, et les puissances qui sont dans les cieux seront ébranlées.
26 Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
Alors on verra le Fils de l'homme venant sur les nuées, avec une grande puissance et une grande gloire;
27 Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
et il enverra les anges pour rassembler les élus des quatre vents, depuis l'extrémité de la terre jusqu'à l'extrémité du ciel.
28 Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Écoutez une comparaison empruntée au figuier. Dès que ses branches deviennent tendres, et qu'il pousse des feuilles, vous savez que l'été est proche.
29 Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
Vous aussi de même, quand vous verrez que ces choses arrivent, sachez que le Fils de l'homme est proche, qu'il est à la porte.
30 Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
En vérité, je vous le déclare, cette génération ne passera pas que toutes ces choses n'arrivent.
31 You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
Le ciel et la terre passeront, mais mes paroles ne passeront point.
32 But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
Pour ce qui est du jour et de l'heure, personne n'en sait rien, pas même les anges dans le ciel, ni même le Fils, mais seulement le Père.
33 So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
Soyez sur vos gardes, soyez vigilants; car vous ne savez pas quand le moment viendra.
34 When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
C'est comme un homme qui, allant en voyage, quitte sa maison, en confie la direction à ses serviteurs, assigne à chacun sa tâche, et ordonne au portier de veiller.
35 [That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
Veillez donc, vous aussi; car vous ne savez pas quand le maître de la maison viendra, si ce sera le soir, ou à minuit, ou au chant du coq, ou le matin.
36 [May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
Craignez qu'arrivant tout à coup, il ne vous trouve endormis.
37 These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
Ce que je vous dis, je le dis à tous: Veillez!
