Mark 8
1 During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
En ces jours-là, comme la multitude était grande encore et n’avait pas de quoi manger, il appela ses disciples et leur dit:
2 “This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
J’ai pitié de cette multitude; car voilà déjà trois jours qu’ils sont constamment avec moi, et ils n’ont pas de quoi manger;
3 Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
Et si je les renvoie à jeun dans leurs maisons, ils tomberont de défaillance en chemin, car quelques-uns d’entre eux sont venus de loin.
4 [Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
Ses disciples lui répondirent: Comment pourrait-on les rassasier de pain ici, dans le désert?
5 Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
Et il leur demanda: Combien de pains avez-vous? Sept, répondirent-ils.
6 Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
Alors il commanda au peuple de s’asseoir à terre; puis ayant pris les sept pains et rendu grâces, il les rompit et les donna à ses disciples pour les servir, et ils les servirent à la multitude.
7 [They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
Ils avaient en outre quelques petits poissons; il les bénit aussi, et les fit servir.
8 the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
Ils mangèrent donc, et ils furent rassasiés; et ses disciples emportèrent ce qui était resté de morceaux, sept corbeilles.
9 [They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
Or ceux qui mangèrent étaient environ quatre mille: et il les renvoya.
10 Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
Montant aussitôt dans la barque avec ses disciples, il vint dans le pays de Dalmanutha.
11 [In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
Alors les pharisiens étant venus, commencèrent à disputer avec lui, lui demandant un prodige dans le ciel pour le tenter.
12 Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
Mais gémissant au fond du cœur, il dit: Pourquoi cette génération demande-t-elle un prodige? En vérité, je vous le dis, il ne sera point accordé de prodige à cette génération.
13 Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
Et, les laissant, il monta de nouveau dans la barque et passa de l’autre côté de la mer.
14 The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
Or les disciples avaient oublié de prendre des pains, et ils n’avaient qu’un seul pain avec eux dans la barque.
15 [As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
Et il leur commandait, disant: Gardez-vous avec soin du levain des pharisiens et du levain d’Hérode.
16 [The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
De là ils s’entretenaient entre eux, disant: C’est parce que nous n’avons point de pains.
17 Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
Ce qu’ayant connu, Jésus leur dit: Pourquoi vous entretenez-vous de ce que vous n’avez point de pain? N’avez-vous donc encore ni sens ni intelligence? Avez-vous donc toujours le cœur aveuglé?
18 (I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
Ayant des yeux, ne voyez-vous point? ayant des oreilles, n’entendez-vous point? et avez-vous perdu tout souvenir?
19 when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
Quand je rompis les cinq pains pour les cinq mille hommes, combien de paniers emportâtes-vous pleins de morceaux? Douze, lui dirent-ils.
20 Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
Et quand je rompis les sept pains pour les quatre mille hommes, combien emportâtes-vous de corbeilles pleines de morceaux? Sept, lui dirent-ils.
21 Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
Et il ajouta: Comment ne comprenez-vous point encore?
22 They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
Lorsqu’ils arrivèrent à Bethsaïde, on lui amena un aveugle, et on le priait de le toucher.
23 Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
Or, prenant la main de l’aveugle, il le conduisit hors du bourg, mit de la salive sur ses yeux; et lui ayant imposé les mains, il lui demanda s’il voyait quelque chose.
24 The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
Celui-ci regardant, dit: Je vois les hommes qui marchent semblables à des arbres.
25 Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
Jésus lui mit de nouveau les mains sur les yeux, et il commença à voir, et il fut guéri, de sorte qu’il voyait clairement toutes choses.
26 Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
Alors il le renvoya à sa maison, disant: Va dans ta maison; et si tu entres dans le bourg, ne dis rien à personne.
27 Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
De là Jésus se rendit avec ses disciples dans les villages de Césarée de Philippe; en chemin il interrogeait ses disciples, disant: Qui dit-on que je suis?
28 They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
Ils lui répondirent, en disant: Jean-Baptiste; d’autres, Elie; d’autres, comme un des prophètes.
29 He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
Alors il leur demanda: Mais vous, qui dites-vous que je suis? Pierre, prenant la parole, lui dit: Vous êtes le Christ.
30 Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
Et il leur défendit avec menace de le dire à personne.
31 Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
Il commença en même temps à leur enseigner qu’il fallait que le Fils de l’homme souffrît beaucoup; qu’il fût rejeté par les anciens, par les princes des prêtres et par les scribes; qu’il fût mis à mort, et qu’après trois jours il ressuscitât.
32 He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
Et il en parlait ouvertement. Alors Pierre, le tirant à part, commença à le reprendre.
33 Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
Mais Jésus, se retournant et regardant ses disciples, gourmanda Pierre, disant: Retire-toi de moi, Satan, parce que tu ne goûtes pas ce qui est de Dieu, mais ce qui est des hommes.
34 Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
Et appelant le peuple avec ses disciples, il leur dit: Si quelqu’un veut me suivre, qu’il renonce à lui-même, qu’il porte sa croix et me suive.
35 [You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
Car qui voudra sauver son âme, la perdra; et qui perdra son âme à cause de moi et de l’Evangile la sauvera.
36 People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
Et que servira à l’homme de gagner le monde entier, s’il perd son âme?
37 ([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
Ou que donnera l’homme en échange de son âme?
38 And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
Car celui qui aura rougi de moi et de mes paroles, au milieu de cette génération adultère et pécheresse, le Fils de l’homme aussi rougira de lui, lorsqu’il viendra dans la gloire de son Père avec les anges saints.
