Mark 6
1 Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
Puis il partit de là, et vint en son pays; et ses Disciples le suivirent.
2 (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day), [he entered] the Jewish worship house and taught [the people]. Many who were listening to him were astonished. [But some] were saying, “[This man is just an ordinary person like we are! So (we cannot believe that] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles![/how is it that] [RHQ] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles?) [RHQ]
Et le jour du Sabbat étant venu, il se mit à enseigner dans la Synagogue; et beaucoup de ceux qui l'entendaient, étaient dans l'étonnement, et ils disaient: d'où viennent ces choses à celui-ci? et quelle est cette sagesse qui lui est donnée; et que même de tels prodiges se fassent par ses mains?
3 ([We know that] he is [just an ordinary] carpenter!/Isn’t he [just an ordinary] carpenter [RHQ]?) [We know him and his family! We know] Mary his mother! ([We know] his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon!/Are not his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon?) [RHQ] And (his [younger] sisters also live here in this town!/do not his [younger] sisters also live here in this town?) [RHQ]” So they despised him.
Celui-ci n'est-il pas charpentier? fils de Marie, frère de Jacques, et de Joses, et de Jude, et de Simon? et ses sœurs ne sont-elles pas ici parmi nous? et ils étaient scandalisés à cause de lui.
4 Jesus [knew that they refused to believe in him]. So he said to them, “[It is certainly true that] people honor [me and other] prophets [in other places, but] not in our hometowns! Even our relatives and the people who live in our own houses do not honor us!”
Mais Jésus leur dit: un Prophète n'est sans honneur que dans son pays, et parmi ses parents et ceux de sa famille.
5 [So], although he healed a few sick people there by touching them, he [decided] not to perform many [other] miracles [in Nazareth] because the people there did not believe that he was the Messiah.
Et il ne put faire là aucun miracle, sinon qu'il guérit quelque peu de malades, en leur imposant les mains.
6 He was amazed that they did not believe [in him]. Mark 6:6b-13 Jesus [and his disciples] went from town to town [in that region] teaching [the people].
Et il s'étonnait de leur incrédulité, et parcourait les villages d'alentour, en enseignant.
7 [One day] he summoned the twelve [disciples], and then he [told them that] he was going to send them out two-by-two [to teach people in various towns]. He gave them power [to expel] evil spirits [from people].
Alors il appela les douze, et commença à les envoyer deux à deux, et leur donna puissance sur les esprits immondes.
8 He also instructed them to wear sandals and to take along a walking stick when they were traveling. He told them not to take food, nor a bag [in which travelers carry supplies], nor any money for their journey. He also did not allow them to take extra clothing. [He wanted the people who heard their message to give them what they needed].
Et il leur commanda de ne rien prendre pour le chemin, qu'un seul bâton, [et de ne porter] ni sac, ni pain, ni monnaie dans leur ceinture;
Mais d'être chaussés de souliers, et de ne porter point deux robes.
10 He also instructed them, “After you enter a town, [if someone invites you to stay in his house], go into his house. Eat and sleep in that same home until you leave that town.
Il leur disait aussi: partout où vous entrerez dans une maison, demeurez-y jusqu'à ce que vous partiez de là.
11 Wherever the people do not welcome you and wherever the people do not listen to you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave [that place]. By doing that, you will warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
Et tous ceux qui ne vous recevront point, et ne vous écouteront point, en partant de là, secouez la poussière de vos pieds, pour être un témoignage contre eux. En vérité je vous dis, que ceux de Sodome et de Gomorrhe seront traités moins rigoureusement au jour du jugement que cette ville-là.
12 [So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
Etant donc partis, ils prêchèrent qu'on s'amendât.
13 They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
Et ils chassèrent plusieurs démons hors [des possédés], et oignirent d'huile plusieurs malades, et les guérirent.
14 [King] Herod [Antipas] heard about [what] Jesus [was doing], because many people were talking [about it. Some] people were saying [about Jesus], “[He must be] John the Baptizer! He has come back to life! That is why he [has God’s] power to perform these miracles!”
Or le Roi Hérode en ouït parler, car le nom [de Jésus] était devenu fort célèbre, et il dit: Ce Jean qui baptisait, est ressuscité des morts; c'est pourquoi la vertu de faire des miracles agit puissamment en lui.
15 Others were saying [about Jesus], “He is [the former prophet] Elijah, [whom God promised to send back again].” Others were saying [about Jesus], “[No], he is a [different] prophet, like one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago].”
Les autres disaient: c'est Elie; et les autres disaient: c'est un Prophète, ou comme un des Prophètes.
16 Having heard [what the people were saying, King] Herod [Antipas] himself repeatedly said, “The man [performing those miracles] must be John! I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head, but he has come back to life again [to get revenge for my killing him]!”
Quand donc Hérode eut appris cela, il dit: c'est Jean que j'ai fait décapiter, il est ressuscité des morts.
17 The reason [King Herod concluded that John wanted revenge is as follows: Some time before this], Herod married Herodias, while she was [still] the wife of his [younger] brother, Philip.
Car Hérode avait envoyé prendre Jean, et l'avait fait lier dans une prison, à cause d'Hérodias femme de Philippe son frère, parce qu'il l'avait prise en mariage.
18 John kept telling Herod, “[God’s] law does not permit you to marry the wife of your brother [while he is still alive].” Then, because Herodias [urged him to put John in prison], Herod himself sent [soldiers to John]. They seized John and put him in prison.
Car Jean disait à Hérode: il ne t'est pas permis d'avoir la femme de ton frère.
19 But because Herodias wanted to get [further] revenge on John, she wanted [someone] to execute him. But she could not do that because [while John was in prison], Herod kept John safe [from her].
C'est pourquoi Hérodias lui en voulait, et désirait de le faire mourir, mais elle ne pouvait.
20 Herod did this because he respected/feared John, because he knew that he was a righteous and holy man. The king did not know what he should do, but he liked to listen to him.
Car Hérode craignait Jean, sachant que c'était un homme juste et saint, et il avait du respect pour lui, et lorsqu'il l'avait entendu, il faisait beaucoup de choses [que Jean avait dit de faire], car il l’écoutait volontiers.
21 But [Herodias was able to have someone execute John when they honored/celebrated] the day when Herod was born. On that day, he invited the [most important] government officials, the [most important] army leaders, and the most important men in Galilee [district] in order that they might eat [and celebrate with him].
Mais un jour étant venu à propos, qu'Hérode faisait le festin du jour de sa naissance aux grands Seigneurs, et aux Capitaines, et aux Principaux de la Galilée,
22 [While they were eating], Herodias’ daughter came into the room and danced, and that pleased [King] Herod and his guests. So the king said to her, “Ask me for whatever you desire and I will give it to you!”
La fille d'Hérodias y entra, et dansa, et ayant plu à Hérode, et à ceux qui étaient à table avec lui, le Roi dit à la jeune fille: demande-moi ce que tu voudras, et je te le donnerai.
23 He said to her, “Whatever you ask, I will give it to you! I will give you up to half of what I own and rule, if you ask for it. May God punish me [if I do not do what I have promised]!”
Et il lui jura, disant: tout ce que tu me demanderas, je te le donnerai, jusqu'à la moitié de mon Royaume.
24 The girl immediately left the room and went to her mother. She [told her what the king had said, and] asked her, “What shall I ask for?” Her mother replied, “[Ask the king to give you] the head of John the Baptizer!”
Et elle étant sortie, dit à sa mère: qu'est-ce que je demanderai? Et [sa mère lui] dit: la tête de Jean Baptiste.
25 The girl quickly entered the room again. She went to the king and she requested, “I want you to command someone to [cut off] the head of John the Baptizer [and] give it to me at once on a platter, [so that my mother can know he is dead]!”
Puis étant aussitôt rentrée avec empressement vers le Roi, elle lui fit sa demande, en disant: je voudrais qu'incessamment tu me donnasses dans un plat la tête de Jean Baptiste.
26 The king became very distressed [when he heard what she asked for], because he knew John was a very righteous man (OR, because he now knew that he should not have made that promise to her). But he could not refuse [what she requested because] he had promised [that he would give her anything she asked for], and because his guests [had heard him promise that].
Et le Roi en fut très marri, mais il ne voulut pas la refuser à cause du serment, et de ceux qui étaient à table avec lui:
27 So the king at once ordered the man who executes prisoners to go and [cut off] John’s head and bring it [to the girl]. That man went to the prison and cut off John’s head.
Et il envoya incontinent un de ses gardes, et lui commanda d'apporter la tête de Jean: [le garde] y alla, et décapita [Jean] dans la prison;
28 He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
Et apporta sa tête dans un plat, et la donna à la jeune fille, et la jeune fille la donna à sa mère.
29 After John’s disciples heard [what happened], they went [to the prison] and took John’s body and then they buried [it in a burial cave].
Ce que les disciples [de Jean] ayant appris, ils vinrent et emportèrent son corps, et le mirent dans un sépulcre.
30 The [twelve] apostles returned to Jesus [from the places to which they had gone]. They reported to him what they had done and what they had taught [to people].
Or les Apôtres se rassemblèrent vers Jésus, et lui racontèrent tout ce qu'ils avaient fait, et enseigné.
31 He said to them, “Come [with me] to a place where no people are living, in order that we can be alone and rest a little while!” [He said this] because many people were continually coming to them and going [away again], with the result that [Jesus and] his disciples did not have time to eat [or do anything else].
Et il leur dit: venez-vous-en à l'écart dans un lieu retiré, et vous reposez un peu; car il y avait beaucoup de gens qui allaient et qui venaient, de sorte qu'ils n'avaient pas même le loisir de manger.
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
Ils s'en allèrent donc dans une nacelle en un lieu retiré, pour y être en particulier.
33 [But many] people saw them leaving. They also recognized [that they were Jesus and the disciples, and they saw where they were going]. So they ran [ahead on land] from all the [nearby] towns to the place [where Jesus and his disciples were going]. They [actually] arrived there before [Jesus and the disciples].
Mais le peuple vit qu'ils s'en allaient, et plusieurs l'ayant reconnu, y accoururent à pied de toutes les villes, et y arrivèrent avant eux, et s'assemblèrent auprès de lui.
34 As Jesus [and his disciples] got out of the boat, Jesus saw this large crowd. He felt sorry for them because they were [confused], like sheep that do not have a shepherd. So he taught them many things.
Et Jésus étant sorti, vit là de grandes troupes, et il fut ému de compassion envers elles, de ce qu'elles étaient comme des brebis qui n'ont point de pasteur; et il se mit à leur enseigner plusieurs choses.
35 Late [in the afternoon], the disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where no people live and it is very late.
Et comme il était déjà tard, ses Disciples s'approchèrent de lui, en disant: ce lieu est désert, et il est déjà tard.
36 [So] send the people away in order that they may go to the surrounding farms and villages in order that they can buy for themselves something to eat!”
Donne-leur congé, afin qu'ils s'en aillent aux villages et aux bourgades d'alentour, et qu'ils achètent des pains pour eux; car ils n'ont rien à manger.
37 But he replied, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “(We could not buy enough bread to feed [this crowd], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days!/How could we buy enough bread to feed [this mob], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days?)” [RHQ]
Et il leur répondit, et dit: donnez-leur vous-mêmes à manger. Et ils lui dirent: irions-nous acheter pour deux cents deniers de pain, afin de leur donner à manger?
38 But he replied to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and find out!” They [went and] found out and then they told him, “We have [only] five flat loaves and two [cooked] fish!”
Et il leur dit: combien avez-vous de pains? allez et regardez. Et après l'avoir su, ils dirent: cinq, et deux poissons.
39 He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
Alors il leur commanda de les faire tous asseoir par troupes sur l'herbe verte.
40 So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
Et ils s'assirent par troupes, les unes de cent, et les autres de cinquante personnes.
41 Jesus took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God] for them. Then he broke the loaves and fish into pieces and kept giving them to the disciples in order that they would distribute them to the people.
Et quand il eut pris les cinq pains et les deux poissons, regardant vers le ciel, il bénit [Dieu], et rompit les pains, puis il les donna à ses Disciples, afin qu'ils les missent devant eux, et il partagea à tous les deux poissons.
42 Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
Et ils en mangèrent tous, et furent rassasiés.
43 The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
Et on emporta des pièces de pain douze corbeilles pleines, et quelques restes des poissons.
44 There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
Or ceux qui avaient mangé des pains étaient environ cinq mille hommes.
45 Right away Jesus told his disciples to get into the boat and then go ahead of him to Bethsaida [town, which was] further around [Lake Galilee. He stayed and] dismissed the many people who were there.
Et aussitôt après il obligea ses Disciples de monter sur la nacelle, et d'aller devant lui au delà de la [mer] vers Bethsaïda, pendant qu'il donnerait congé aux troupes.
46 After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
Et quand il leur eut donné congé, il s'en alla sur la montagne pour prier.
47 When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
Et le soir étant venu, la nacelle était au milieu de la mer, et lui seul était à terre.
48 He saw that the wind was [blowing] against them as they rowed. As a result, they were having great difficulty. He approached them early in the morning, when it was still dark, by walking on the water. He intended to walk by them.
Et il vit qu'ils avaient grande peine à ramer, parce que le vent leur était contraire; et environ la quatrième veille de la nuit, il alla vers eux marchant sur la mer, et il les voulait devancer.
49 They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
Mais quand ils le virent marchant sur la mer, ils crurent que ce fût un fantôme, et ils s'écrièrent.
50 because they all were terrified when they saw him. But he talked to them. He said to them, “Be calm! Do not be afraid, [because] it is I!”
Car ils le virent tous, et ils furent troublés; mais il leur parla aussitôt, et leur dit: rassurez-vous, c'est moi; n'ayez point de peur.
51 He got into the boat [and sat down] with them and the wind [immediately] blowing. They were completely amazed [about what he had done].
Et il monta vers eux dans la nacelle, et le vent cessa; ce qui augmenta beaucoup leur étonnement et leur admiration.
52 [Although they had seen Jesus multiply] the [bread and the fish], they did not understand [from that how powerful he was, as they should have]. They did not think clearly about it.
Car ils n'avaient pas bien fait réflexion au [miracle des] pains; à cause que leur cœur était stupide.
53 After they went further around [Lake Galilee in a boat, they came to the shore at Gennesaret town]. Then they tied up the boat there.
Et quand ils furent passés au delà de la mer, ils arrivèrent en la contrée de Génézareth, où ils abordèrent.
54 As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
Et après qu'ils furent sortis de la nacelle, ceux du lieu le reconnurent d'abord.
55 So they ran throughout the whole district [in order to tell others that Jesus was there]. Then the people [placed] those who were sick on stretchers and carried them to any place where they heard [people say] that Jesus was.
Et ils coururent çà et là par toute la contrée d'alentour, et se mirent à lui apporter de tous côtés les malades dans de petits lits, là où ils entendaient dire qu'il était.
56 In whatever village, town or other place where he entered, they would bring to the marketplaces those who were sick. Then the [sick people] would beg Jesus to let them touch [him or] even the edge of his clothes [in order that Jesus might heal them]. All those who touched [him or his robe] were healed.
Et partout où il était entré dans les bourgs, ou dans les villes, ou dans les villages, ils mettaient les malades dans les marchés, et ils le priaient de permettre qu'au moins ils pussent toucher le bord de sa robe; et tous ceux qui le touchaient, étaient guéris.
