Mark 1
1 ([This is/I want to tell you]) the good message about Jesus Christ, the Son of God (OR, the man who was also God). [What I want to tell you] begins just like the prophet Isaiah [said it would begin, when] he wrote [these words that God said to Jesus: ] Listen! I am sending my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare [people for] your [coming].
Commencement de l’Évangile de Jésus-Christ, Fils de Dieu.
Selon ce qui est écrit dans Ésaïe, le prophète: Voici, j’envoie devant toi mon messager, Qui préparera ton chemin;
3 He will call out to people [who pass by where he is] in the desolate area, “As people improve and straighten out pathways [before an important official arrives] [MET], make [yourselves] ready [DOU] [in order that you will be prepared when] the Lord [comes].”
C’est la voix de celui qui crie dans le désert: Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, Aplanissez ses sentiers.
4 [The messenger that Isaiah predicted was] John. [People called him] ‘The Baptizer’. In the desolate area near the Jordan River he kept telling people, “If you want God to forgive you for having sinned, you must turn away from your sinful behavior [before you ask me to] baptize [you].”
Jean parut, baptisant dans le désert, et prêchant le baptême de repentance, pour la rémission des péchés.
5 A great number [HYP] of people who lived in Jerusalem [city] and [elsewhere] in the Judea [district] were going out to where John was. There, [after hearing John’s message], they [responded by] confessing the sinful things [that they had done]. Then they were being baptized by John {John was baptizing them} in the Jordan River.
Tout le pays de Judée et tous les habitants de Jérusalem se rendaient auprès de lui; et, confessant leurs péchés, ils se faisaient baptiser par lui dans le fleuve du Jourdain.
6 John wore [rough] clothes made of camel’s hair. And [as the prophet Elijah had done], he wore a leather belt around his waist; and what he ate was [only] grasshoppers and honey [that he found] in that desolate area.
Jean avait un vêtement de poils de chameau, et une ceinture de cuir autour des reins. Il se nourrissait de sauterelles et de miel sauvage.
7 He was preaching, “Very shortly a man will come who is very great. I [am nothing compared to him. Because he is so superior to me], I am not even worthy to [serve him like a slave] by stooping down and untying his sandals.
Il prêchait, disant: Il vient après moi celui qui est plus puissant que moi, et je ne suis pas digne de délier, en me baissant, la courroie de ses souliers.
8 I used [only] water when I baptized you [because you said that you wanted to change your lives], but he will put his Holy Spirit [within] you [to truly change your lives].”
Moi, je vous ai baptisés d’eau; lui, il vous baptisera du Saint-Esprit.
9 During that time [when John was preaching], Jesus came from Nazareth [town], which is in Galilee [district]. He went to [where John was preaching] and he was baptized by John {John baptized him} in the Jordan [River].
En ce temps-là, Jésus vint de Nazareth en Galilée, et il fut baptisé par Jean dans le Jourdain.
10 Immediately after [Jesus] came up out of the water, he saw heaven opened up [and he saw] the Spirit [of God] descending on himself. He came in the form of a dove.
Au moment où il sortait de l’eau, il vit les cieux s’ouvrir, et l’Esprit descendre sur lui comme une colombe.
11 And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
Et une voix fit entendre des cieux ces paroles: Tu es mon Fils bien-aimé, en toi j’ai mis toute mon affection.
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
Aussitôt, l’Esprit poussa Jésus dans le désert,
13 He was there for 40 days. During that time, he was tempted by Satan {Satan tempted him}. There were wild animals [there] also. But angels took care of him.
où il passa quarante jours, tenté par Satan. Il était avec les bêtes sauvages, et les anges le servaient.
14 Later, after John was put in prison {after [soldiers] put John in prison} [because he had rebuked the governor Herod Antipas for his sins], Jesus went to Galilee [district]. There he was preaching the good message [that came] from God.
Après que Jean eut été livré, Jésus alla dans la Galilée, prêchant l’Évangile de Dieu.
15 He was repeatedly saying, “Now is the time when God will begin to rule people’s lives [in a new way]. [So] turn away from your sinful behavior! Believe the good message [in order] ([to belong to him/to become those whose lives he will rule])!”
Il disait: Le temps est accompli, et le royaume de Dieu est proche. Repentez-vous, et croyez à la bonne nouvelle.
16 [One day], while Jesus was walking along by Galilee Lake, he saw [two men], Simon and Simon’s [younger] brother, Andrew. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake. They [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
Comme il passait le long de la mer de Galilée, il vit Simon et André, frère de Simon, qui jetaient un filet dans la mer; car ils étaient pêcheurs.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will [teach] you how to [gather people to become my disciples]” [MET].
Jésus leur dit: Suivez-moi, et je vous ferai pêcheursd’hommes.
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Aussitôt, ils laissèrent leurs filets, et le suivirent.
19 After they had gone on a little further, Jesus saw [two other men], James and James’ [younger] brother, John. They were the sons of [a man named] Zebedee. They were both in a boat mending [fishing] nets.
Étant allé un peu plus loin, il vit Jacques, fils de Zébédée, et Jean, son frère, qui, eux aussi, étaient dans une barque et réparaient les filets.
20 As soon as Jesus saw them, he told them that [they should leave their work and to come with him]. So they left their father, [who remained] in the boat with the hired servants, and they went away with Jesus.
Aussitôt, il les appela; et, laissant leur père Zébédée dans la barque avec les ouvriers, ils le suivirent.
21 [Later] Jesus [and those disciples] arrived at Capernaum [town]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish rest day), after Jesus had entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), he began teaching [the people who had gathered there].
Ils se rendirent à Capernaüm. Et, le jour du sabbat, Jésus entra d’abord dans la synagogue, et il enseigna.
22 They were continually amazed at the way he taught. [He did] not [just teach what others had taught], like the men who teach the [Jewish] laws did. [They habitually just repeated what other people had taught]. Instead, he taught with [his own] authority.
Ils étaient frappés de sa doctrine; car il enseignait comme ayant autorité, et non pas comme les scribes.
23 Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
Il se trouva dans leur synagogue un homme qui avait un esprit impur, et qui s’écria:
24 “Jesus, from Nazareth [town, since] we [evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, ([do not interfere with us]!/what do you want with us [evil spirits]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now]!/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. I know that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
Qu’y a-t-il entre nous et toi, Jésus de Nazareth? Tu es venu pour nous perdre. Je sais qui tu es: le Saint de Dieu.
25 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
Jésus le menaça, disant: Tais-toi, et sors de cet homme.
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
Et l’esprit impur sortit de cet homme, en l’agitant avec violence, et en poussant un grand cri.
27 All [the people who were there] were amazed. As a result, they discussed this among themselves, [exclaiming], “(This is [amazing]!/What is this?) [RHQ] Not only does he teach in a new and authoritative way, but also the evil spirits obey him [when] he commands [them]!”
Tous furent saisis de stupéfaction, de sorte qu’ils se demandaient les uns aux autres: Qu’est-ce que ceci? Une nouvelle doctrine! Il commande avec autorité même aux esprits impurs, et ils lui obéissent!
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Et sa renommée se répandit aussitôt dans tous les lieux environnants de la Galilée.
29 After they left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), [Jesus, Simon and Andrew], along with James and John went directly to Simon and Andrew’s house.
En sortant de la synagogue, ils se rendirent avec Jacques et Jean à la maison de Simon et d’André.
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
La belle-mère de Simon était couchée, ayant la fièvre; et aussitôt on parla d’elle à Jésus.
31 He went to her, and helped her up by taking hold of her hand. She recovered [at once] from the fever, and then she [got up and] served them [some food].
S’étant approché, il la fit lever en lui prenant la main, et à l’instant la fièvre la quitta. Puis elle les servit.
32 That evening, after the sun had gone down [and restrictions about travel on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [were ended], some people brought to Jesus many people who were sick and others whose lives evil spirits were controlling.
Le soir, après le coucher du soleil, on lui amena tous les malades et les démoniaques.
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
Et toute la ville était rassemblée devant sa porte.
34 Jesus healed many people who were ill with various diseases. He also expelled many demons [from people]. He did not allow the demons to tell people [about him], because they knew that he [had come from God, and for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
Il guérit beaucoup de gens qui avaient diverses maladies; il chassa aussi beaucoup de démons, et il ne permettait pas aux démons de parler, parce qu’ils le connaissaient.
35 Jesus got up very early [the next morning] while it was still dark. He left [the house] and went away [from the town] to a place where there were no people. Then he prayed there.
Vers le matin, pendant qu’il faisait encore très sombre, il se leva, et sortit pour aller dans un lieu désert, où il pria.
36 Simon and his companions searched for him. When they found him, [wanting him to go back to town to help other people], they said to him,
Simon et ceux qui étaient avec lui se mirent à sa recherche;
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
et, quand ils l’eurent trouvé, ils lui dirent: Tous te cherchent.
38 He said to them, “[No], let’s go on to the neighboring towns in order that I can preach there also, because the reason that I came [into the world] was to [preach to people] in many places!”
Il leur répondit: Allons ailleurs, dans les bourgades voisines, afin que j’y prêche aussi; car c’est pour cela que je suis sorti.
39 So they went throughout Galilee [district. As they did so, each (Sabbath/Jewish rest day]) he preached in (synagogues/Jewish meeting places). He was also expelling evil spirits [from people].
Et il alla prêcher dans les synagogues, par toute la Galilée, et il chassa les démons.
40 [One day] a man who had [a bad skin disease called] leprosy came to Jesus. He knelt down in front of Jesus and then he pleaded with him saying, “[Please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you want to!”
Un lépreux vint à lui; et, se jetant à genoux, il lui dit d’un ton suppliant: Si tu le veux, tu peux me rendre pur.
41 Jesus felt very sorry for him. [So he ignored the religious laws about coming close to people who had that disease]. He reached out his hand and touched the man. Then he said to him, “Since I am willing [to heal you], be healed {I heal you} [now]!”
Jésus, ému de compassion, étendit la main, le toucha, et dit: Je le veux, sois pur.
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Aussitôt la lèpre le quitta, et il fut purifié.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Jésus le renvoya sur-le-champ, avec de sévères recommandations,
44 What Jesus said was, “Go to a local priest and show yourself to him [in order that he may examine you and verify that you are healed]. Then, [after the priest tells the local people], they will know [that you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that you do not tell others [about what happened] Then go to [Jerusalem and take to the priest what Moses commanded that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer, in order that he] may offer it [as a sacrifice to God].”
et lui dit: Garde-toi de rien dire à personne; mais va te montrer au sacrificateur, et offre pour ta purification ce queMoïse a prescrit, afin que cela leur serve de témoignage.
45 The man went [and presented himself to the priest. But then] he began to tell many people about [how Jesus had healed him] [DOU]. As a result, Jesus was no longer able to enter any town publicly [because the crowds would surround him]. Instead, he remained outside [the towns] in places [where no people lived]. But people kept coming to him from all over that region.
Mais cet homme, s’en étant allé, se mit à publier hautement la chose et à la divulguer, de sorte que Jésus ne pouvait plus entrer publiquement dans une ville. Il se tenait dehors, dans des lieux déserts, et l’on venait à lui de toutes parts.
