Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Quand il descendit de la montagne, de grandes troupes le suivirent.
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
Survint un lépreux qui s'approcha et se prosterna. devant lui: «Seigneur, dit-il, si tu le veux, tu peux me guérir.»
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
Jésus étendit la main, le toucha et dit: «Je le veux, sois guéri»; et à l'instant il fut guéri de sa lèpre.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
Jésus ajouta: «Garde-toi de parler de ceci à personne; mais va te montrer au prêtre et offre le don prescrit par Moïse; que ce leur soit un témoignage.»
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
Comme il entrait dans Capharnaüm, un centurion s'approcha de lui, lui adressant cette prière:
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
Seigneur, mon serviteur est dans ma maison, étendu sur son lit, paralytique et en proie à de cruelles souffrances.»
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
Jésus lui répondit: «J'irai, et je le guérirai.»
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
Alors le centurion reprit: «Seigneur, je ne suis pas digne que tu entres sous mon toit, mais donne seulement un ordre et mon serviteur sera guéri.
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
Car moi (qui ne suis pourtant qu'un subordonné) j'ai sous mes ordres des soldats, et si je dis à l'un: «va-t'en» — il s'en va; à l'autre: «viens» — il vient; à mon esclave: «fais cela — il le fait.»
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
Jésus fut dans l'admiration de ce langage; et s'adressant à ceux qui le suivaient: «Je vous le dis en vérité, chez personne, même en Israël, je n'ai trouvé une foi aussi grande?
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
Je vous déclare que plusieurs viendront de l'Orient et de l'Occident et se mettront à table avec Abraham, Isaac et Jacob dans le Royaume des cieux,
12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
tandis que les fils du Royaume seront jetés dehors dans les ténèbres. Là seront les pleurs et le grincement des dents.»
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
Ensuite Jésus dit au centurion; «Va et qu'il te soit fait comme tu as cru.» Et, à cette heure même, le serviteur fut guéri.
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
Arrivé à la maison de Pierre, Jésus vit la belle-mère de celui-ci, couchée; elle avait la fièvre.
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
Il lui toucha la main et la fièvre disparut; aussi se leva-t-elle et se mit-elle à les servir.
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
Le soir venu, on lui apporta beaucoup de démoniaques, et d'un mot il chassait les Esprits. Il guérit aussi tous ceux qui étaient malades,
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
afin que fût accompli ce qu'avait annoncé le prophète Ésaïe disant: «C'est lui qui a pris nos infirmités et porté nos maladies.»
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
Voyant de nombreuses troupes autour de lui, Jésus donna l'ordre de passer sur l'autre rive.
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
Alors un Scribe, s'avançant, lui dit: «Maître, je te suivrai partout où tu iras.»
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
Jésus lui répond: «Les renards ont des tanières et les oiseaux du ciel ont des nids; mais le Fils de l'homme n'a pas où reposer sa tête.»
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
«Seigneur, lui dit un autre des disciples, permets-moi d'aller d'abord ensevelir mon père.»
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
«Suis-moi! Lui répond Jésus, et laisse les morts ensevelir leurs morts!»
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
Il monta dans la barque, suivi de ses disciples.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Soudain une grande tempête s'éleva sur la mer, à tel point que la barque était couverte par les vagues. Lui, il dormait.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
Les disciples s'approchèrent de lui et le réveillèrent. «Sauve-nous, Seigneur, lui dirent-ils, nous périssons!»
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
Il leur répondit: «Pourquoi vous effrayez-vous, hommes de peu de foi?» Alors il se leva, fit des menaces aux vents et à la mer, et il se fit un grand calme.
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
Ces hommes dirent alors remplis d'admiration: «Qui est-il pour que lui obéissent et les vents et la mer?»
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
Quand il fut arrivé à l'autre bord, dans le pays des Gadaréniens, vinrent à sa rencontre deux démoniaques, sortant des sépulcres. Ils étaient si dangereux que personne n'osait passer par ce chemin.
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
Qu'y a-t-il entre nous et toi, fils de Dieu?» se mirent-ils à crier. «Es-tu venu ici pour nous torturer avant le temps.»
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Or, il y avait, dans l'éloignement, un nombreux troupeau de pourceaux qui paissaient.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
Les démons lui adressaient cette demande: «Si tu nous chasses, envoie-nous dans ce troupeau de pourceaux.»
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
«Allez!» leur dit Jésus. Alors ils partirent et entrèrent dans les pourceaux; et voilà que, d'une course impétueuse, le troupeau tout entier se précipita dans la mer et périt dans les flots.
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
Les gardeurs prirent la fuite; ils allèrent à la ville tout raconter, et ce qui était arrivé aux démoniaques.
34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
Là dessus, la ville entière sortit au devant de Jésus, et, quand ces gens le virent ils le prièrent de s'éloigner de leur pays.
