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 princes des prêtres s’étant assemblés avec les anciens, et les scribes, et tout le conseil, ils lièrent Jésus, 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.”
Et Pilate l’interrogea: Es-tu le roi des Juifs? Jésus lui répondant, lui dit: Tu le dis.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Et les princes des prêtres portaient contre lui beaucoup d’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, disant: Tu ne réponds 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.
Mais Jésus ne répondit pas davantage, de sorte que Pilate en était étonné.
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.
Or à un des jours de la fête, il avait coutume de remettre au peuple un des prisonniers, celui qu’ils demandaient.
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 alors un nommé Barabbas qui avait été mis en prison avec d’autres séditieux, et qui avait commis un meurtre dans la sédition.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Le peuple étant donc monté devant le prétoire, commença à demander ce qu’il leur accordait toujours.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Pilate leur répondant, dit: Voulez-vous que je vous délivre 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 princes des prêtres l’avaient livré.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Mais les pontifes excitèrent le peuple à demander qu’il leur délivrât 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 répondant encore, leur dit: Que voulez-vous donc que je fasse du roi des Juifs?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Mais de nouveau ils crièrent: Crucifiez-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, cependant, leur disait: Mais quel mal a-t-il fait? Et eux criaient encore plus: Crucifiez-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 donc, voulant complaire au peuple, leur remit Barabbas, et il leur livra Jésus déchiré de verges, 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].
Or les soldats le conduisirent dans la cour du prétoire, et ayant convoqué 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 vêtirent de pourpre, et tressant une couronne d’épines, ils la mirent sur sa tête.
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 commencèrent à le saluer, disant: 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; et ils crachaient sur lui, et fléchissant le genou, ils l’adoraient.
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.
Et après qu’ils se furent ainsi joués de lui, ils lui ôtèrent la pourpre et le couvrirent de ses vêtements; puis ils 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].
Et ils contraignirent un certain Simon de Cyrène, père d’Alexandre et de Rufus, qui passait par là en revenant de sa maison des champs, de porter sa croix.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Ensuite ils le conduisirent au lieu appelé Golgotha; ce que l’on interprète par lieu du Calvaire.
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 présentaient à boire du vin mêlé de myrrhe; mais il n’en prit point.
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.
Et l’ayant crucifié, ils se partagèrent ses vêtements, y jetant le sort, pour savoir ce que chacun en emporterait.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Or il était la troisième heure lorsqu’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.”
Et le titre de sa condamnation était ainsi écrit: 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 voleurs, l’un à sa droite, l’autre à sa gauche.
Ainsi fut accomplie l’Ecriture, qui dit: Il a été mis au rang des scélérats.
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.
Et les passants le blasphémaient, branlant la tête, et disant: Ah! toi qui détruis le temple de Dieu et le rebâtis en trois jours,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Sauve-toi toi-même, et descends 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!
Pareillement les princes des prêtres eux-mêmes se moquant de lui avec les scribes, se disaient l’un à l’autre: 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. Et ceux qui avaient été crucifiés avec lui, l’outrageaient de même.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
La sixième heure venue, les ténèbres se répandirent 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 cria d’une voix forte, disant; Eloï, Eloï, lamma sabacthani; ce que l’on interprète ainsi: Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, pourquoi m’avez-vous délaissé?
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 l’environnaient, l’entendant, disaient: Voilà qu’il appelle Elie.
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 aussitôt l’un d’eux, courant, emplit de vinaigre une éponge, et l’ayant mise au bout d’un roseau, il lui présentait à boire, disant: Laissez; voyons si Elie viendra le délivrer.
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].
Et 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!”
Or le centurion, qui était vis-à-vis, voyant qu’il avait expiré en jetant un pareil cri, dit: Vraiment, cet homme était le 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 là aussi des femmes qui regardaient de loin, parmi lesquelles étaient Marie-Madeleine, Marie, mère de Jacques le Mineur et de Joseph, et Salomé;
Et qui, lorsqu’il était en Galilée, le suivaient et le servaient; et beaucoup d’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 déjà venu (parce que c’était le jour de la préparation qui précède le sabbat),
Joseph d’Arimathie, noble décurion, qui lui-même attendait le royaume de Dieu, vint et entra hardiment chez Pilate, et lui demanda 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’étonnait qu’il fût mort sitôt; il fit donc venir le centurion, et lui demanda s’il était déjà mort.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Or s’en étant assuré par le centurion, 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 et détaché Jésus de la croix, l’enveloppa dans le linceul, le mit dans un sépulcre qui avait été taillé dans le roc, et 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]}.
Or Marie-Madeleine, et Marie, mère de Joseph, regardaient où on le mettrait.
