Mark 9
1 He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Et il leur disait: « En vérité je vous déclare qu'il y a quelques-uns de ceux qui sont ici présents, qui ne goûteront certainement point la mort jusques à ce qu'ils aient vu le royaume de Dieu inauguré avec puissance. »
2 A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
Et six jours après Jésus prend avec lui Pierre et Jacques et Jean, et il les conduit seuls à l'écart sur une haute montagne.
3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
Et il fut transfiguré en leur présence, et ses vêtements devinrent éblouissants; si blancs qu'il n'est pas sur la terre de foulon qui puisse ainsi blanchir.
4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
Et Élie leur apparut avec Moïse, et ils conversaient avec Jésus;
5 [After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
et Pierre prenant la parole dit à Jésus: « Rabbi, c'est une bonne chose pour nous que d'être ici; faisons trois tentes, une pour toi, et une pour Moïse, et une pour Élie. »
6 [He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
Il ne savait pas en effet ce qu'il devait dire, car ils avaient été saisis d'effroi.
7 Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
Et une nuée survint qui les couvrit, et de la nuée sortit une voix: « Celui-ci est Mon Fils bien-aimé! Écoutez-le. »
8 When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
Et ayant sur-le-champ regardé autour d'eux, ils ne virent plus personne avec eux, sauf Jésus seul.
9 While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
Et pendant qu'ils descendaient de la montagne, il leur donna des ordres, afin qu'ils ne racontassent à personne ce qu'ils avaient vu, si ce n'est lorsque le fils de l'homme serait ressuscité des morts.
10 So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
Et ils s'attachèrent à cette parole se demandant entre eux: Que signifie: « ressusciter des morts? »
11 [The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
Et ils l'interrogeaient en disant: « Pourquoi les scribes disent-ils qu'il faut qu'Élie vienne premièrement? »
12 [Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
Mais il leur dit: « Il est vrai qu'Élie, après être premièrement venu, doit rétablir toutes choses. Et comment est-il écrit à propos du Fils de l'homme qu'il doit souffrir beaucoup et être compté pour rien?
Mais je vous déclare qu'Élie aussi est venu, et qu'ils lui ont fait tout ce qu'ils voulaient, selon qu'il est écrit à propos de lui. »
14 [Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
Et quand ils furent arrivés vers les disciples ils virent autour d'eux une foule nombreuse et des scribes qui discutaient avec eux.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
Et aussitôt toute la foule l'ayant vu fut dans l'épouvante, et elle accourait pour le saluer.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
Et il leur demanda: « Sur quoi discutez-vous avec eux? »
17 A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
Et quelqu'un de la foule lui répliqua: « Maître, je t'ai amené mon fils qui a un esprit muet;
18 Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
et où que ce soit qu'il s'empare de lui, il le terrasse; et il écume et grince les dents et devient tout roide; et j'ai parlé à tes disciples afin qu'ils le chassassent, et ils n'ont pas pu. »
19 Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
Et lui leur réplique: « O génération incrédule, jusques à quand serai-je avec vous? Amenez-le moi. »
20 So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
Et on le lui amena. Et quand il l'eut vu, l'esprit le jeta aussitôt en convulsion, et étant tombé à terre, il se roulait en écumant.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
Et il demanda au père: « Combien de temps y a-t-il que cela lui arrive? » Et il dit: « Depuis son enfance;
22 [The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
et souvent il l'a jeté soit dans le feu soit dans les eaux, afin de le faire périr; mais, si tu peux quelque chose, viens à notre secours par compassion pour nous. »
23 Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
Or Jésus lui dit: « Quant à ton: « Si tu peux, » toutes choses sont possibles pour celui qui croit. »
24 Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
Aussitôt le père du jeune enfant de s'écrier: « Je crois; viens au secours de mon incrédulité. »
25 Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
Mais Jésus ayant vu accourir la multitude réprimanda l'esprit impur, en lui disant: « Esprit muet et sourd, c'est moi, c'est moi qui te l'ordonne, sors de lui et ne rentre plus en lui. »
26 The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
Et ayant poussé des cris et l'ayant jeté en de violentes convulsions, il sortit; et il devint comme un cadavre, en sorte que la plupart disaient: « Il est mort. »
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
Mais Jésus lui ayant pris les mains le fit lever, et il se tint debout.
28 Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
Et lorsqu'il fut rentré au logis, ses disciples lui demandaient en particulier: « Pourquoi n'avons-nous pas pu le chasser nous-mêmes? »
29 He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
Et il leur dit: « Cette espèce-là ne peut sortir par aucun autre moyen que par la prière. »
30 After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
Et étant sortis de là ils cheminaient au travers de la Galilée, et il ne voulait pas que personne le sût;
31 [anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
car il instruisait ses disciples et disait: « Le fils de l'homme va être livré aux mains des hommes, et ils le feront mourir, et, quand il aura été mis à mort, au bout de trois jours il ressuscitera. »
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Mais eux ne comprenaient pas cette parole, et ils craignaient de l'interroger.
33 Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
Et ils arrivèrent à Capharnaoum. Et lorsqu'il fut dans la maison, il leur demandait: « Sur quoi discutiez-vous en chemin? »
34 But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
Mais ils se taisaient; car ils avaient discuté entre eux en chemin quel était le plus grand.
35 He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
Et s'étant assis, il appela les douze, et il leur dit: « Si quelqu'un veut être le premier, il sera le dernier de tous et le serviteur de tous. »
36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
Et ayant pris un petit enfant, il le plaça au milieu d'eux, et l'ayant serré dans ses bras, il leur dit:
37 “Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
« Celui qui aura reçu en mon nom l'un de ces petits enfants-là, me reçoit, et celui qui me reçoit, ce n'est pas moi qu'il reçoit, mais Celui qui m'a envoyé. »
38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
Jean lui dit: « Maître, nous avons vu quelqu'un qui chassait des démons en ton nom, et nous l'en empêchions parce qu'il ne nous suivait pas. »
39 Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
Mais Jésus dit: « Ne l'en empêchez pas; car il n'est personne qui fasse un miracle en mon nom, et qui puisse aussitôt après dire du mal de moi;
40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
car quiconque n'est pas contre nous est pour nous.
41 Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
En effet celui qui vous aura donné à boire un verre d'eau, par la raison que vous êtes à Christ, en vérité je vous déclare qu'il ne perdra certainement pas sa récompense.
42 [Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
Et celui qui aura scandalisé un seul de ces petits qui croient en moi, beaucoup mieux vaudrait pour lui qu'on passât autour de son col une meule de moulin à âne, et qu'on le jetât dans la mer.
43 [So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
Et si ta main a été pour toi une occasion de scandale, coupe-la; il est bon que tu entres estropié dans la vie, plutôt que d'aller, en ayant tes deux mains, dans la géhenne, dans le feu inextinguible; [ (Geenna g1067)
là où leur ver ne meurt point, et où le feu ne s'éteint point.]
45 If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Et si ton pied est pour toi une occasion de scandale, coupe-le; il est bon que tu entres boiteux dans la vie, plutôt que d'être jeté, en ayant tes deux pieds, dans la géhenne; [ (Geenna g1067)
là où leur ver ne meurt point, et où le feu ne s'éteint point.]
47 If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Et si ton œil est pour toi une occasion de scandale, arrache-le; il est bon que tu entres borgne dans le royaume de Dieu, plutôt que d'être jeté, en ayant deux yeux, dans la géhenne, (Geenna g1067)
48 In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
là où leur ver ne meurt point, et où le feu ne s'éteint point;
49 “[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
car chacun sera salé de feu.
50 Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
Le sel est bon; mais si le sel devient insipide, avec quoi l'assaisonnerez-vous?
