Matthew 14
1 During that time Herod [Antipas], the ruler, heard reports about Jesus [performing miracles].
En ce temps-là, Hérode le tétrarque entendit parler de la renommée de Jésus;
2 He said to his servants: “That must be John the Baptizer. He must have risen from the dead, and that is why he has power to perform miracles.”
et il dit à ses serviteurs: C’est Jean le baptiseur; il est ressuscité des morts, et c’est pourquoi les miracles s’opèrent par lui.
3 The reason [Herod thought that was this: Herod had married] Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, [while Philip was still living. So] John had been saying to him, “[What] you [did by] marrying [your brother’s wife while your brother is still alive is against God’s] law!” Then, to [please] Herodias, Herod [told his soldiers] to arrest John. They bound him with chains and put him in prison.
Car Hérode, ayant fait prendre Jean, l’avait fait lier et mettre en prison, à cause d’Hérodias, la femme de Philippe son frère;
car Jean lui disait: Il ne t’est pas permis de l’avoir.
5 Herod wanted to have John executed, but he was afraid that the people [who had accepted what John taught would riot if he did that], because they believed that John was a prophet.
Et tout en ayant le désir de le faire mourir, il craignait la foule, parce qu’ils le tenaient pour prophète.
6 But when Herod [gave a party to celebrate] his birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for [his guests]. This pleased Herod.
Mais lorsqu’on célébrait l’anniversaire de la naissance d’Hérode, la fille d’Hérodias dansa devant tous, et plut à Hérode:
7 So he promised to give her whatever she asked, and he asked God to punish him if he did not do what he had promised.
sur quoi il lui promit avec serment de lui donner tout ce qu’elle demanderait.
8 [So Herodias’ daughter went and asked her mother what to ask for]. Her mother told her to ask for John the Baptizer’s head. [So] her daughter [went back and] said [to Herod]: “[Cut off] the head of John the Baptizer and [please] bring it here on a platter [so that my mother can know for sure that he is dead!]”
Et elle, poussée par sa mère: Donne-moi ici, dit-elle, dans un plat, la tête de Jean le baptiseur.
9 The king was distressed because he now knew he should not have made that promise to her. [But] because he had made an oath [in front of] his guests [when he made that promise], and [he did not want] them [to think that he would not do what he had promised], he commanded that [the girl] be given [what she requested].
Et le roi en fut affligé; mais, à cause des serments et de ceux qui étaient à table avec lui, il donna l’ordre qu’on la lui donne.
10 He sent [the executioner to go to] the prison and to cut off John’s head.
Et il envoya décapiter Jean dans la prison.
11 [The executioner did that, and] put John’s head on a platter and gave it to the girl. Then the girl took it to her mother.
Et sa tête fut apportée dans un plat et donnée à la jeune fille; et elle la porta à sa mère.
12 John’s disciples then went [to the prison], took John’s body and buried it, and they reported to Jesus [what had happened].
Et ses disciples vinrent et enlevèrent le corps et l’ensevelirent; et s’en allant, ils rapportèrent à Jésus [ce qui était arrivé].
13 After Jesus heard that, he took [just us disciples] with him and we went by boat [on Galilee Lake to an uninhabited place]. Matthew 14:13-21 After the crowds heard [that we had gone to an uninhabited place], they [left their towns and] followed Jesus, walking along the shore.
Et Jésus, l’ayant entendu, se retira de là dans un bateau en un lieu désert, à l’écart; et les foules, l’ayant appris, le suivirent à pied, des [différentes] villes.
14 When Jesus came [to the shore], he saw a large crowd of people [who had gathered there, waiting for him]. He felt sorry for them, and he healed those [among them who were] sick.
Et étant sorti, il vit une grande foule; et il fut ému de compassion envers eux, et il guérit leurs infirmes.
15 When it was [nearly] evening, we disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, and it is very late. Dismiss the crowds so that they can go into the [nearby] towns. [Have them do that so that they can] buy food for themselves.”
Et le soir étant venu, ses disciples vinrent à lui, disant: Le lieu est désert, et l’heure est déjà passée; renvoie les foules, afin qu’elles s’en aillent aux villages et qu’elles s’achètent des vivres.
16 But Jesus said to us, “They do not need to leave [to get food. Instead], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!”
Mais Jésus leur dit: Il n’est pas nécessaire qu’elles s’en aillent; vous, donnez-leur à manger.
17 We said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two [cooked] fish here!”
Mais ils lui disent: Nous n’avons ici que cinq pains et deux poissons.
18 He said [to us], “Bring them to me!”
Et il dit: Apportez-les-moi ici.
19 He told the people [who had gathered there] to sit on the grass. Then he took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven, thanked [God for them], and broke [them into pieces]. Then he gave them to us disciples, and we distributed them to the crowd.
Et ayant donné l’ordre aux foules de s’asseoir sur l’herbe, ayant pris les cinq pains et les deux poissons, il regarda vers le ciel et bénit; et ayant rompu les pains, il les donna aux disciples, et les disciples aux foules.
20 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they had enough to eat. Then we [disciples] gathered the pieces that were left over, [and we] filled twelve baskets with them.
Et ils mangèrent tous et furent rassasiés. Et ils ramassèrent, des morceaux qui étaient de reste, douze paniers pleins.
21 Those who ate were about 5,000 men. [We did] not [count the] women and children!
Or ceux qui avaient mangé étaient environ 5 000 hommes, outre les femmes et les enfants.
22 Right after that happened, Jesus told us disciples to get in the boat and to go ahead of him further around [the lake] while he dismissed the crowds.
Et aussitôt il contraignit les disciples de monter dans le bateau et de le précéder à l’autre rive, jusqu’à ce qu’il ait renvoyé les foules.
23 After he dismissed them, he went up into the hills to pray by himself. When it was evening, he was [still] there alone.
Et quand il eut renvoyé les foules, il monta sur une montagne à l’écart pour prier; et le soir étant venu, il était là seul.
24 [By this time] we were already many hundred meters from the shore. The boat was being severely tossed around by the waves {The waves were severely tossing the boat} because the wind was [blowing] against [it].
Or le bateau était déjà au milieu de la mer, battu par les vagues, car le vent était contraire.
25 [Then Jesus came down from the hills to the lake]. Some time between three and six o’clock in the morning he walked on the water toward our [boat].
Et à la quatrième veille de la nuit, il s’en alla vers eux, marchant sur la mer.
26 When we disciples saw someone walking on the water, we thought that [we must be seeing] a ghost. We were terrified, and we screamed out because we were afraid.
Et les disciples, le voyant marcher sur la mer, furent troublés, disant: C’est un fantôme. Et ils crièrent de peur.
27 Immediately Jesus said to us, “Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!”
Mais Jésus leur parla aussitôt, disant: Ayez bon courage; c’est moi, n’ayez point de peur.
28 Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you!”
Et Pierre, lui répondant, dit: Seigneur, si c’est toi, commande-moi d’aller à toi sur les eaux.
29 Then Jesus said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
Et il dit: Viens. Et Pierre, étant descendu du bateau, marcha sur les eaux pour aller à Jésus.
30 But when Peter looked at the [tossing waves which] the strong wind [caused], he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Mais voyant que le vent était fort, il eut peur; et comme il commençait à enfoncer, il s’écria, disant: Seigneur, sauve-moi!
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and grabbed him. He said to Peter, “You only trust a little bit [in my power] (Why did you doubt [that I could keep you from sinking]?/You should not have doubted [that I could keep you from sinking]!) [RHQ]”
Et aussitôt Jésus, étendant la main, le prit et lui dit: Homme de petite foi, pourquoi as-tu douté?
32 Then Jesus and Peter got in the boat, and the wind [immediately] stopped blowing.
Et quand ils furent montés dans le bateau, le vent tomba.
33 All [of us disciples] who were in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the (Son of/man two is also) God!”
Et ceux qui étaient dans le bateau vinrent et lui rendirent hommage, disant: Véritablement tu es le Fils de Dieu!
34 When we had gone further around [the lake in the boat], we came ashore at Gennesaret [town].
Et ayant passé à l’autre rive, ils vinrent dans la contrée de Génésareth.
35 The men of that area recognized Jesus. So they sent [people to inform those who lived] in that whole surrounding region [MTY] [that Jesus was in their area]. [So the people] brought to Jesus all the sick people [who lived in that region].
Et les hommes de ce lieu-là, l’ayant reconnu, envoyèrent dans tout le pays d’alentour; et on lui apporta tous ceux qui se portaient mal;
36 [The sick people] kept begging him to allow them to touch [him or] just to touch the edge of his robe [so that they would be healed]. And all who touched [him or his robe] were healed {he healed all who touched [him or his clothing]}.
et ils le priaient de [les laisser] toucher seulement le bord de sa robe: et tous ceux qui le touchèrent furent complètement guéris.
