< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
Jésus ensuite fut conduit par l'Esprit dans le désert pour y être tenté du diable.
2 After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
Lorsqu'il eut jeûné pendant quarante jours et quarante nuits, il finit par avoir faim.
3 [Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
Si tu es Fils de Dieu, lui dit le tentateur en s'approchant, dis que ces pierres deviennent des pains.»
4 But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
Mais Jésus lui fit cette réponse: «Il est écrit: «Ce n'est pas de pain seulement que vivra l'homme, mais de toute parole qui sort de la bouche de Dieu.»
5 Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
Alors le diable le mena avec lui dans la ville sainte et le plaça sur le faite du Temple.
6 and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
Si tu es Fils de Dieu, lui dit-il, jette-toi en bas! car il est écrit: «A ses anges il donnera des ordres à ton égard; Ils te soutiendront de leurs mains De peur que ton pied ne se heurte contre une pierre.»
7 But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
Jésus lui répondit: «Il est également écrit: «Tu ne tenteras point le Seigneur ton Dieu.»
8 Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
Le diable le mena encore avec lui sur une montagne d'une immense hauteur et lui montra tous les royaumes du monde et leur gloire
9 And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
et lui dit: «Tout cela, je te le donnerai, si, tombant à mes pieds, tu m'adores.»
10 But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
Jésus lui répondit: «Arrière, Satan! car il est écrit: «Tu adoreras le Seigneur ton Dieu et c'est à lui seul que tu rendras un culte.»
11 Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
Alors le diable le laissa; et voilà que des anges s'approchèrent et ils le servaient.
12 [While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
Ayant appris que Jean avait été livré, Jésus se retira en Galilée;
13 Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
et, ayant quitté Nazareth, il vint s'établir à Capharnaüm, ville du rivage sur les confins de Zabulon et de Nephthali
14 [One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
(C'était afin que fût accompli ce qui avait été dit par le prophète Ésaïe:
15 “Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
«Terre de Zabulon et terre de Nephthali sur le chemin de la mer, au delà du Jourdain, Galilée des païens!
16 [Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
Le peuple assis dans les ténèbres a vu une grande lumière! Et sur ceux qui étaient assis dans la région et dans l'ombre de la mort une lumière s'est levée!»)
17 From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
Dès lors, Jésus commença à parler en public et à dire: «Repentez-vous; car le Royaume des cieux est proche.»
18 [One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
Marchant le long de la mer de Galilée, il vit deux frères, Simon (celui qu'on appelle Pierre) et André son frère, jetant leur filet dans la mer; car ils étaient pêcheurs;
19 He 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]
et il leur dit: Venez à ma suite, et je ferai de vous des pêcheurs d'hommes.»
20 They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
Eux aussitôt, laissant les filets, le suivirent.
21 As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
Continuant son chemin, il vit deux autres frères, Jacques, fils de Zébédée, et Jean son frère, dans leur barque avec Zébédée leur père, raccommodant leurs filets; il les appela.
22 They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
Eux aussitôt, laissant la barque et leur père, le suivirent.
23 Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
Jésus parcourait toute la Galilée; enseignant dans leurs synagogues, prêchant l'Évangile! du Royaume, et guérissant toute maladie et toute infirmité parmi le peuple,
24 When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
et sa renommée se répandit dans la Syrie entière. On lui apporta tous les malades, tous ceux qui étaient atteints de souffrances et de douleurs quelconques, des démoniaques, des lunatiques, des paralytiques et il les guérit.
25 Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
Et de grandes multitudes le suivirent venant de la Galilée, de la Décapole, de Jérusalem, de la Judée et de l'autre rive du Jourdain.
