Matthew 16
1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Alors vinrent à lui les pharisiens et les sadducéens, pour le tenter, et ils le prièrent de leur faire voir un prodige dans le ciel.
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Mais Jésus répondant leur dit: Le soir venu, vous dites: Il fera beau, car le ciel est rouge.
3 [Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
Et le matin: Aujourd’hui, de l’orage, car le ciel est sombre et rougeâtre.
4 [You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
Vous savez donc juger l’aspect du ciel, et vous ne savez pas reconnaître les signes des temps? Une génération méchante et adultère demande un prodige, et il ne lui sera point donné de prodige, si ce n’est le prodige du prophète Jonas. Et les ayant quittés, il s’en alla.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Or, lorsque ses disciples étaient venus de l’autre côté de la mer, ils avaient oublié de prendre des pains.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
Jésus leur dit: Gardez-vous soigneusement du levain des pharisiens et des sadducéens.
7 Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
Mais eux pensaient en eux-mêmes, disant: C’est parce que nous n’avons pas pris de pains.
8 Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
Or Jésus le sachant dit: Pourquoi pensez-vous en vous-mêmes, hommes de peu de foi, à ce que vous n’avez pas de pains?
9 (You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
Ne comprenez-vous pas encore, et ne vous souvient-il point des cinq pains distribués aux cinq mille hommes, et combien de corbeilles vous avez remportées?
10 [Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
Ni des sept pains distribués aux quatre mille hommes et combien de corbeilles vous avez remportées?
11 (You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
Comment ne comprenez-vous point que ce n’est pas au sujet du pain que je vous ai dit: Gardez-vous du levain des pharisiens et des sadducéens?
12 Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Alors ils comprirent qu’il n’avait pas dit de se garder du levain des pains, mais de la doctrine des pharisiens et des sadducéens.
13 When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
Or Jésus vint aux environs de Césarée de Philippe, et il interrogeait ses disciples, disant: Quel est celui que les hommes disent être le Fils de l’homme?
14 We answered, “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]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
Ceux-ci répondirent: Les uns disent que c’est Jean-Baptiste; d’autres, Élie; d’autres Jérémie, ou quelqu’un des prophètes.
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
Jésus leur demanda: Et vous, qui dites-vous que je suis?
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Prenant la parole, Simon Pierre dit: Vous êtes le Christ, le fils du Dieu vivant.
17 Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
Et Jésus répondant, lui dit: Tu es heureux, Simon, fils de Jean, car ni la chair ni le sang ne t’ont révélé ceci, mais mon Père qui est dans les cieux.
18 I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
Aussi moi je te dis que tu es Pierre, et sur cette pierre je bâtirai mon Église, et les portes de l’enfer ne prévaudront point contre elle. (Hadēs g86)
19 [Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
Et je te donnerai les clefs du royaume des cieux; et tout ce que tu lieras sur la terre sera lié aussi dans les cieux; et tout ce que tu délieras sur la terre, sera aussi délié dans les cieux.
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
Alors il commanda à ses disciples de ne dire à personne qu’il était lui-même Jésus le Christ.
21 From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
Dès lors Jésus commença à découvrir à ses disciples qu’il fallait qu’il allât à Jérusalem, qu’il souffrît beaucoup de la part des anciens, des scribes et des princes des prêtres; qu’il fût mis à mort et que le troisième jour il ressuscitât.
22 [Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
Et, le prenant à part, Pierre se mit a Le reprendre, disant: À Dieu ne plaise. Seigneur! cela ne vous arrivera point.
23 Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
Mais Jésus se retournant, dit à Pierre: Retire-toi de moi, Satan; tu es un scandale pour moi, parce que tu ne goûtes pas ce qui est de Dieu, mais ce qui est des hommes.
24 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Alors Jésus dit à ses disciples: Si quelqu’un veut venir après moi, qu’il renonce à lui-même, qu’il porte sa croix et me suive.
25 [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] will live [with God eternally].
Car qui voudra sauver son âme, la perdra; mais qui perdra son âme à cause de moi, la trouvera.
26 People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
Et que sert à l’homme de gagner le monde entier, s’il perd son âme? Ou que donnera l’homme en échange de son âme?
27 [Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
Car le Fils de l’homme viendra dans la gloire de son Père avec ses anges; et alors il rendra à chacun selon ses œuvres.
28 Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
En vérité, je vous dis: Il y en a quelques-uns ici présents, qui ne goûteront pas de la mort jusqu’à ce qu’ils voient le Fils de l’homme venant dans son royaume.
