Mark 2
1 [Jesus and his disciples] returned to Capernaum [town]. A few days later, because it was {people} heard that Jesus was in [his] house,
Quelques jours après, il entra de nouveau à Capernaüm, et l'on apprit qu'il était chez lui.
2 many people gathered there. As a result, [after the people filled the house], there was no longer space to stand [in the house or outside] around the doorway. Jesus preached [God’s] message to them.
Aussitôt, plusieurs se rassemblèrent, au point qu'il n'y avait plus de place, pas même autour de la porte; et il leur adressa la parole.
3 Some people came to the house bringing to Jesus a man who was paralyzed. He was carried by four men {Four men carried [him]} [on a sleeping pad].
Quatre personnes vinrent, lui portant un paralytique.
4 They were not able to bring the man to Jesus because there was a crowd there. So they [went up the steps to the flat roof and] removed [some of] the tiles [above] where Jesus was. Then, after they made a [big] hole in the roof, they lowered [by ropes] the sleeping pad on which the paralyzed man lay. They lowered [it through the hole, down in front of Jesus].
Comme ils ne pouvaient s'approcher de lui à cause de la foule, ils enlevèrent le toit où il se trouvait. Après l'avoir brisé, ils descendirent la natte sur laquelle était couché le paralytique.
5 After Jesus perceived that the men believed [that he could heal this man], he said to the paralyzed man, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
Jésus, voyant leur foi, dit au paralytique: « Mon fils, tes péchés te sont pardonnés. »
6 There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
Mais quelques-uns des scribes, assis là, raisonnaient dans leur cœur:
7 “(Who does this man think he is, talking like that/This man shouldn’t talk like that!) [RHQ]? (He is insulting God!/Does he think he is God?) [RHQ] (No person can forgive sins!/Who can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can forgive sins!”
« Pourquoi cet homme profère-t-il de tels blasphèmes? Qui peut pardonner les péchés, sinon Dieu seul? »
8 Jesus sensed that they were deliberating like that within themselves. So he said to them, “(You should not question within yourselves [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]!/Why do you question [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]?) [RHQ]
Aussitôt, Jésus, voyant dans son esprit qu'ils raisonnaient ainsi en eux-mêmes, leur dit: « Pourquoi raisonnez-vous ainsi dans vos cœurs?
9 It is [not risky] [RHQ] for someone to tell the man who is paralyzed, ‘Your sins are forgiven {[I] forgive your sins},’ [because no one can prove that it has happened]. But no one would say to him, ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher, and then walk away’, [unless he really had the power to heal him, because people can easily see whether it happens or not].
Lequel est le plus facile, de dire au paralytique: Tes péchés sont pardonnés, ou de lui dire: Lève-toi, prends ton lit et marche?
10 So I [will do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized me, the one who came from heaven, to forgive sins on earth [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man,
Mais, afin que vous sachiez que le Fils de l'homme a sur la terre le pouvoir de pardonner les péchés, il dit au paralytique:
11 “To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
Je te le dis, lève-toi, prends ton lit et va dans ta maison.
12 The man stood up immediately! He picked up the sleeping pad, and then he went away, while all the people [there] were watching. They were all amazed, and they praised God and said, “We have never before seen anything like [what happened] just now!”
Il se leva, prit aussitôt le tapis et sortit devant eux tous, de sorte qu'ils furent tous stupéfaits et glorifièrent Dieu, en disant: « Nous n'avons jamais rien vu de tel! »
13 Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
Il sortit de nouveau au bord de la mer. Toute la foule venait à lui, et il les enseignait.
14 As he walked on further, he saw a man named Levi, whose other name was Matthew, and whose father’s name was Alpheus. He was sitting in his office where he collected taxes [for the Roman government]. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
Comme il passait, il vit Lévi, fils d'Alphée, assis au bureau des impôts. Il lui dit: « Suis-moi. » Et il se leva et le suivit.
15 [Later], Jesus was eating a meal in Levi’s house. Many men who collected taxes and [other] people who were [considered to be] sinning regularly were eating with Jesus and his disciples. [This was not surprising], for there were many people like this who were going [everywhere] with Jesus.
Il était à table dans sa maison, et beaucoup de publicains et de pécheurs étaient assis avec Jésus et ses disciples, car ils étaient nombreux, et ils le suivaient.
16 The [men who taught the Jewish] laws [who were there] and who were members of the Pharisee [sect] saw that Jesus was eating with men who collected taxes and [others who were considered] {[whom they considered]} [to be] sinners. So they said to his disciples, “(It is disgusting that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners!/Why is it that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Les scribes et les pharisiens, voyant qu'il mangeait avec les pécheurs et les publicains, dirent à ses disciples: « Pourquoi mange-t-il et boit-il avec les publicains et les pécheurs? »
17 After Jesus heard [what they were saying], he said to the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, “People who [consider that they] are well do not seek a doctor. On the contrary, it is those who are sick [who seek a doctor] [MET]!” [This he said to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him in order that he might help them spiritually]. And he said, “I did not come to invite people [who think that] [IRO] they are righteous [to come to me and turn from their sinful behavior]. On the contrary, I came [from heaven to invite] people who [know that they] are sinners, [in order that they might turn from their sins and come to me].”
Ayant entendu cela, Jésus leur dit: « Ceux qui sont en bonne santé n'ont pas besoin de médecin, mais ceux qui sont malades. Je suis venu non pas pour appeler les justes, mais les pécheurs à la repentance. »
18 The disciples of John [the Baptizer] and some men who belonged to the Pharisee [sect] used to abstain from food [to show that they wanted to please God]. One day, some people came [to Jesus] and asked him [critically], “The disciples of John and the Pharisees (fast/abstain from food) [from time to time], but your disciples do not. [We think they should abstain from food also. What do you say about that] [RHQ]?”
Les disciples de Jean et les pharisiens étaient en train de jeûner, et ils vinrent lui demander: « Pourquoi les disciples de Jean et les disciples des pharisiens jeûnent-ils, mais tes disciples ne jeûnent pas? »
19 [Jesus wanted them to understand that it was not appropriate for his disciples to show sorrow by abstaining from food while he was still with them]. So he said to them, “When a man is marrying a woman, his friends will certainly not abstain from food while he is still with them, will they [RHQ]? No. During the time that he is with them, they will not abstain from food [because they are happy together].
Jésus leur dit: « Les mariés peuvent-ils jeûner tant que l'époux est avec eux? Tant qu'ils ont l'époux avec eux, ils ne peuvent pas jeûner.
20 But some day, he will be taken away {his [enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, in those days, they will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
Mais les jours viendront où l'époux leur sera enlevé, et alors ils jeûneront en ce jour-là.
21 [Jesus wanted to show that those who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like fasting. So he also said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [in order to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment, the patch would shrink] and the new [piece of cloth] would tear off more of the old cloth. As a result, the hole would become bigger!
Personne ne coud une pièce de tissu non trempé sur un vieux vêtement, sinon la pièce se rétracte et le nouveau se détache du vieux, et le trou est pire.
22 [Similarly], people do not put newly [squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If they did that, that juice will burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the wine ferments and expands]. As a result both the wine and the skin bags would be ruined! On the contrary, people must put new wine into new skin bags!” [MET]
Personne ne met du vin nouveau dans de vieilles outres, sinon le vin nouveau fait éclater les outres, et le vin se répand, et les outres sont détruites; mais on met du vin nouveau dans des outres neuves. »
23 On one (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples. As they were walking along [through the grain fields], the disciples were plucking some of the heads of grain. [They rubbed them in their hands to remove the chaff, and were eating the grain. The laws of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
Il traversait les champs de blé, le jour du sabbat, et ses disciples se mirent à arracher les épis.
24 [Some of] the Pharisees [saw them doing what they considered to be work. So they] said to him, “Look! (They should not be doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid!/Why are they doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid?) [RHQ]”
Les pharisiens lui dirent: « Voici, pourquoi font-ils ce qui n'est pas permis le jour du sabbat? »
25 [Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. So he said to them, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David, did when he needed food, and both he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, but ([you do not think about what it implies./why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
Il leur dit: « N'avez-vous jamais lu ce que fit David, quand il était dans le besoin et qu'il avait faim, et ceux qui étaient avec lui?
26 During the time Abiathar was high priest, David entered the big tent [where people worshipped] God [and asked for some bread. The high priest gave him some] of the loaves of bread. That bread was the bread he had presented to God. It was permitted in one of Moses’ laws that only the priests could eat that bread! But David ate some of it. Then he also gave some of it to the men who were with him. [But God did not consider that was wrong!]”
Comment il entra dans la maison de Dieu au moment où Abiathar, le grand prêtre, mangea le pain de proposition, qu'il n'est pas permis de manger, sauf pour les prêtres, et en donna aussi à ceux qui étaient avec lui? »
27 Jesus said to them further, “[God] established (the day of rest/the Sabbath day) [to help] people! He did not create people to [obey rules about] (the Sabbath/the day of rest)!
Il leur dit: « Le sabbat a été fait pour l'homme, et non l'homme pour le sabbat.
28 And [think about this]: I am the one who came from heaven. So I have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day)!”
C'est pourquoi le Fils de l'homme est maître même du sabbat. »
