Mark 15
1 Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
Dès le matin, les principaux sacrificateurs tinrent conseil avec les anciens et les scribes, et tout le sanhédrin. Après avoir lié Jésus, ils l’emmenèrent, et le livrèrent à Pilate.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Pilate l’interrogea: Es-tu le roi des Juifs? Jésus lui répondit: Tu le dis.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Les principaux sacrificateurs portaient contre lui plusieurs accusations.
4 So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
Pilate l’interrogea de nouveau: Ne réponds-tu rien? Vois de combien de choses ils t’accusent.
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Et Jésus ne fit plus aucune réponse, ce qui étonna Pilate.
6 It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
A chaque fête, il relâchait un prisonnier, celui que demandait la foule.
7 [At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
Il y avait en prison un nommé Barabbas avec ses complices, pour un meurtre qu’ils avaient commis dans une sédition.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
La foule, étant montée, se mit à demander ce qu’il avait coutume de leur accorder.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Pilate leur répondit: Voulez-vous que je vous relâche le roi des Juifs?
10 [He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
Car il savait que c’était par envie que les principaux sacrificateurs l’avaient livré.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Mais les chefs des sacrificateurs excitèrent la foule, afin que Pilate leur relâchât plutôt Barabbas.
12 Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
Pilate, reprenant la parole, leur dit: Que voulez-vous donc que je fasse de celui que vous appelez le roi des Juifs?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Ils crièrent de nouveau: Crucifie-le!
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Pilate leur dit: Quel mal a-t-il fait? Et ils crièrent encore plus fort: Crucifie-le!
15 So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
Pilate, voulant satisfaire la foule, leur relâcha Barabbas; et, après avoir fait battre de verges Jésus, il le livra pour être crucifié.
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
Les soldats conduisirent Jésus dans l’intérieur de la cour, c’est-à-dire, dans le prétoire, et ils assemblèrent toute la cohorte.
17 [After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
Ils le revêtirent de pourpre, et posèrent sur sa tête une couronne d’épines, qu’ils avaient tressée.
18 Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
Puis ils se mirent à le saluer: Salut, roi des Juifs!
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Et ils lui frappaient la tête avec un roseau, crachaient sur lui, et, fléchissant les genoux, ils se prosternaient devant lui.
20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
Après s’être ainsi moqués de lui, ils lui ôtèrent la pourpre, lui remirent ses vêtements, et l’emmenèrent pour le crucifier.
21 [After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
Ils forcèrent à porter la croix de Jésus un passant qui revenait des champs, Simon de Cyrène, père d’Alexandre et de Rufus;
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
et ils conduisirent Jésus au lieu nommé Golgotha, ce qui signifie lieu du crâne.
23 Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
Ils lui donnèrent à boire du vin mêlé de myrrhe, mais il ne le prit pas.
24 [Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
Ils le crucifièrent, et se partagèrent ses vêtements, en tirant au sort pour savoir ce que chacun aurait.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
C’était la troisième heure, quand ils le crucifièrent.
26 They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
L’inscription indiquant le sujet de sa condamnation portait ces mots: Le roi des Juifs.
27 They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
Ils crucifièrent avec lui deux brigands, l’un à sa droite, et l’autre à sa gauche.
Ainsi fut accompli ce que dit l’Écriture: Il a été mis au nombre des malfaiteurs.
29 The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
Les passants l’injuriaient, et secouaient la tête, en disant: Hé! toi qui détruis le temple, et qui le rebâtis en trois jours,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
sauve-toi toi-même, en descendant de la croix!
31 The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
Les principaux sacrificateurs aussi, avec les scribes, se moquaient entre eux, et disaient: Il a sauvé les autres, et il ne peut se sauver lui-même!
32 He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
Que le Christ, le roi d’Israël, descende maintenant de la croix, afin que nous voyions et que nous croyions! Ceux qui étaient crucifiés avec lui l’insultaient aussi.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
La sixième heure étant venue, il y eut des ténèbres sur toute la terre, jusqu’à la neuvième heure.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Et à la neuvième heure, Jésus s’écria d’une voix forte: Éloï, Éloï, lama sabachthani? ce qui signifie: Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, pourquoi m’as-tu abandonné?
35 When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
Quelques-uns de ceux qui étaient là, l’ayant entendu, dirent: Voici, il appelle Élie.
36 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
Et l’un d’eux courut remplir une éponge de vinaigre, et, l’ayant fixée à un roseau, il lui donna à boire, en disant: Laissez, voyons si Élie viendra le descendre.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Mais Jésus, ayant poussé un grand cri, expira.
38 [At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
Le voile du temple se déchira en deux, depuis le haut jusqu’en bas.
39 The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
Le centenier, qui était en face de Jésus, voyant qu’il avait expiré de la sorte, dit: Assurément, cet homme était Fils de Dieu.
40 There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
Il y avait aussi des femmes qui regardaient de loin. Parmi elles étaient Marie de Magdala, Marie, mère de Jacques le mineur et de Joses, et Salomé,
qui le suivaient et le servaient lorsqu’il était en Galilée, et plusieurs autres qui étaient montées avec lui à Jérusalem.
42 When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
Le soir étant venu, comme c’était la préparation, c’est-à-dire, la veille du sabbat,
arriva Joseph d’Arimathée, conseiller de distinction, qui lui-même attendait aussi le royaume de Dieu. Il osa se rendre vers Pilate, pour demander le corps de Jésus.
44 Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
Pilate s’étonna qu’il fût mort si tôt; fit venir le centenier et lui demanda s’il était mort depuis longtemps.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
S’en étant assuré par le centenier, il donna le corps à Joseph.
46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
Et Joseph, ayant acheté un linceul, descendit Jésus de la croix, l’enveloppa du linceul, et le déposa dans un sépulcre taillé dans le roc. Puis il roula une pierre à l’entrée du sépulcre.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Marie de Magdala, et Marie, mère de Joses, regardaient où on le mettait.
