Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
Alors des pharisiens et des scribes vinrent de Jérusalem vers Jésus, en disant:
2 “(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
« Pourquoi tes disciples désobéissent-ils à la tradition des anciens? Car ils ne se lavent pas les mains quand ils mangent du pain. »
3 Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
Il leur répondit: Pourquoi, vous aussi, désobéissez-vous au commandement de Dieu, à cause de votre tradition?
4 God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
Car Dieu a ordonné: « Honore ton père et ta mère", et: « Que celui qui parle mal de son père ou de sa mère soit mis à mort ».
5 But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
Mais vous dites: « Celui qui dira à son père ou à sa mère: « L'aide que vous auriez pu obtenir de moi est un don consacré à Dieu »,
6 And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
n'honorera ni son père ni sa mère. Vous avez rendu nul le commandement de Dieu à cause de votre tradition.
7 You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
Hypocrites! Ésaïe a bien prophétisé sur vous, en disant,
8 ‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
Ces gens-là s'approchent de moi avec leur bouche, et m'honorent de leurs lèvres; mais leur cœur est loin de moi.
9 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
Et ils m'adorent en vain, d'enseigner comme doctrine des règles faites par les hommes''.
10 Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
Il convoqua la foule, et lui dit: « Écoutez, et comprenez.
11 Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
Ce qui entre dans la bouche ne souille pas l'homme; mais ce qui sort de la bouche, cela souille l'homme. »
12 Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
Alors les disciples s'approchèrent et lui dirent: « Sais-tu que les pharisiens ont été scandalisés en entendant cette parole? »
13 Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
Mais il répondit: « Toute plante que mon Père céleste n'a pas plantée sera déracinée.
14 Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
Laissez-les tranquilles. Ce sont des aveugles qui guident des aveugles. Si l'aveugle guide l'aveugle, tous deux tomberont dans une fosse. »
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Pierre lui répondit: « Explique-nous la parabole. »
16 He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
Alors Jésus dit: « Vous aussi, vous ne comprenez pas encore?
17 (You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
Ne comprenez-vous pas que ce qui entre dans la bouche passe dans le ventre et sort ensuite du corps?
18 [You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
Mais les choses qui sortent de la bouche sortent du cœur, et elles souillent l'homme.
19 It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
Car c'est du cœur que viennent les mauvaises pensées, les meurtres, les adultères, les péchés sexuels, les vols, les faux témoignages, les blasphèmes.
20 It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
Ce sont là des choses qui souillent l'homme; mais manger avec des mains non lavées ne souille pas l'homme. »
21 After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
Jésus sortit de là et se retira dans la région de Tyr et de Sidon.
22 A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
Voici qu'une femme cananéenne sortit de ces frontières et s'écria: « Aie pitié de moi, Seigneur, fils de David! Ma fille est gravement possédée par un démon! »
23 But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
Mais il ne lui répondit pas un mot. Ses disciples vinrent le supplier, en disant: « Renvoie-la, car elle crie après nous. »
24 But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
Mais il répondit: « Je n'ai été envoyé qu'aux brebis perdues de la maison d'Israël. »
25 But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
Mais elle vint et l'adora, disant: « Seigneur, aide-moi. »
26 Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Mais il répondit: « Il ne convient pas de prendre le pain des enfants et de le jeter aux chiens. »
27 [But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
Mais elle répondit: « Oui, Seigneur, mais même les chiens mangent les miettes qui tombent de la table de leurs maîtres. »
28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
Alors Jésus lui répondit: « Femme, grande est ta foi! Qu'il te soit fait comme tu le désires. » Et sa fille fut guérie dès cette heure-là.
29 After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
Jésus partit de là et s'approcha de la mer de Galilée; il monta sur la montagne et s'y assit.
30 Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
De grandes foules vinrent à lui, ayant avec elles des boiteux, des aveugles, des muets, des estropiés et beaucoup d'autres, et elles les déposèrent à ses pieds. Il les guérit,
31 The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
de sorte que la foule était dans l'admiration en voyant le muet parler, le blessé guérir, le boiteux marcher et l'aveugle voir, et elle glorifiait le Dieu d'Israël.
32 Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
Jésus convoqua ses disciples et leur dit: « J'ai pitié de la foule, car cela fait trois jours qu'ils restent avec moi et ils n'ont rien à manger. Je ne veux pas les renvoyer à jeun, car ils pourraient s'évanouir en chemin. »
33 We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
Les disciples lui dirent: « Où pourrions-nous trouver autant de pains dans un lieu désert pour rassasier une si grande multitude? »
34 Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
Jésus leur dit: « Combien de pains avez-vous? » Ils ont dit: « Sept, et quelques petits poissons. »
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Il ordonna à la foule de s'asseoir par terre,
36 Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
et il prit les sept pains et les poissons. Il rendit grâces, les rompit, les donna aux disciples, et les disciples à la foule.
37 [Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
Tous mangèrent et furent rassasiés. Ils emportèrent sept corbeilles pleines des morceaux qui restaient.
Ceux qui mangèrent étaient quatre mille hommes, sans compter les femmes et les enfants.
39 After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
Puis il renvoya la foule, monta dans la barque et arriva dans le territoire de Magdala.
