Mark 3
1 [On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
Une autre fois, Jésus entra dans une synagogue, où se trouvait un homme qui avait la main desséchée.
2 [Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
Les pharisiens l'observaient pour voir s'il le guérirait un jour de sabbat, afin de pouvoir l'accuser.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
Il dit à l'homme qui avait la main desséchée: Lève-toi et tiens-toi au milieu de nous.
4 Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
Puis il leur dit: Est-il permis, le jour du sabbat, de faire du bien ou de faire du mal; de sauver une personne ou de la tuer? Mais ils gardaient le silence.
5 He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
Alors, promenant sur eux ses regards avec indignation, et affligé de l'endurcissement de leur coeur, il dit à l'homme: Étends ta main. Il l'étendit, et sa main redevint saine.
6 Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
Les pharisiens, étant sortis, tinrent aussitôt conseil avec les hérodiens contre lui, pour le faire périr.
7 Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
Jésus se retira avec ses disciples du côté de la mer, et une grande multitude, venue de la Galilée, le suivit. De la Judée aussi,
8 from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
de Jérusalem, de l'Idumée, du pays au-delà du Jourdain, ainsi que des environs de Tyr et de Sidon, une grande multitude, ayant entendu parler de tout ce qu'il faisait, vint vers lui.
9 Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
Alors il dit à ses disciples de lui tenir une petite barque toute prête, à cause de la foule, pour ne pas être trop pressé par elle.
Car il avait guéri plusieurs malades, de sorte que tous ceux qui avaient quelque mal se jetaient sur lui pour le toucher.
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
Et quand les esprits impurs le voyaient, ils tombaient à ses pieds et s'écriaient: Tu es le Fils de Dieu!
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
Mais il leur défendait sévèrement de le faire connaître.
13 Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
Il alla ensuite sur la montagne, et il appela ceux qu'il voulut choisir lui-même, et ils vinrent à lui.
14 He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
Il en désigna douze, qu'il nomma apôtres, pour les avoir avec lui et pour les envoyer prêcher,
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
avec le pouvoir de chasser les démons.
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
Voici les douze qu'il désigna: Simon, à qui il donna le nom de Pierre;
17 James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
Jacques, fils de Zébédée, et Jean, frère de Jacques, auxquels il donna le nom de Boanerges, c'est-à-dire fils du tonnerre;
18 Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
André, Philippe, Barthélémy, Matthieu, Thomas, Jacques, fils d'Alphée, Thaddée, Simon le Cananéen,
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
et Judas Iscariote, celui-là même qui le trahit.
20 Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
Jésus entra dans une maison avec ses disciples; et la foule s'y rassembla encore, de sorte qu'ils ne pouvaient pas même prendre leur repas.
21 After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
Quand ses proches l'eurent appris, ils vinrent pour s'emparer de lui; car ils disaient qu'il avait perdu l'esprit.
22 [Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
Les scribes, descendus de Jérusalem, disaient: Il est possédé de Béelzébul, et il chasse les démons par le prince des démons!
23 Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
Mais Jésus, les ayant appelés, leur dit en paraboles: Comment Satan pourrait-il chasser Satan?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
Si un royaume est divisé contre lui-même, ce royaume-là ne peut subsister;
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
et si une maison est divisée contre elle-même, cette maison-là ne saurait subsister.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
Si donc Satan s'élève contre lui-même, il est divisé et il ne peut subsister, mais il est près de sa fin.
27 Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
Nul ne peut entrer dans la maison de l'homme fort et piller son bien, s'il n'a auparavant lié cet homme fort; après cela, il pourra piller sa maison.
28 [Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
En vérité, je vous le dis, tous les péchés seront pardonnés aux enfants des hommes, ainsi que tous les blasphèmes qu'ils auront proférés;
30 [Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
Jésus parla ainsi, parce qu'ils disaient: Il est possédé d'un esprit impur.
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
La mère et les frères de Jésus arrivèrent; et, se tenant dehors, ils l'envoyèrent appeler.
32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
La foule était assise autour de lui. Et on lui dit: Voici que ta mère et tes frères sont là dehors, qui te cherchent.
33 Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
Mais il répondit: Qui est ma mère, et qui sont mes frères?
34 After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
Puis, jetant les yeux sur ceux qui étaient assis autour de lui, il dit: Voilà ma mère et mes frères!
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
Quiconque fait la volonté de Dieu, celui-là est mon frère, et ma soeur, et ma mère.
