Matthew 9
1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
Jésus étant monté dans la barque, traversa la mer et vint dans sa ville.
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
Et voilà que des gens lui présentaient un paralytique gisant sur un lit. Or Jésus voyant leur foi, dit à ce paralytique: Mon fils, aie confiance, tes péchés te sont remis.
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
Et voici que quelques-uns d’entre les scribes dirent en eux-mêmes: Celui-ci blasphème.
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
Mais, comme Jésus avait vu leurs pensées, il dit: Pourquoi pensez-vous mal en vos cœurs?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
Lequel est le plus facile de dire: Tes péchés te sont remis, ou de dire: Lève-toi et marche?
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
Or, afin que vous sachiez que le Fils de l’homme a le pouvoir sur la terre de remettre les péchés: Lève-toi, dit-il alors au paralytique, prends ton lit et retourne en ta maison.
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
Et il se leva et s’en alla dans sa maison.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
Mais, voyant cela, la multitude fut saisie de crainte, et rendit gloire à Dieu qui a donné une telle puissance aux hommes.
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
Lorsqu’il fut sorti de là, Jésus vit un homme nommé Matthieu assis au bureau des impôts, et il lui dit: Suis-moi. Et, se levant, il le suivit.
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
Or il arriva que Jésus étant à table dans la maison, beaucoup de publicains et de pécheurs vinrent s’y asseoir avec lui et ses disciples.
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Les pharisiens voyant cela, disaient à ses disciples: Pourquoi votre maître mange-t-il avec les publicains et les pécheurs?
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
Mais Jésus, entendant, dit: Ce ne sont pas ceux qui se portent bien qui ont besoin de médecin, mais les malades.
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
Allez donc et apprenez ce que veut dire: J’aime mieux la miséricorde que le sacrifice. Car je ne suis pas venu appeler les justes, mais les pécheurs.
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
Alors s’approchèrent de lui les disciples de Jean, disant: Pourquoi nous et les pharisiens jeûnons-nous fréquemment, et vos disciples ne jeûnent-ils point?
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
Jésus leur répondit: Les fils de l’époux peuvent-ils s’attrister pendant que l’époux est avec eux? Mais viendront des jours où l’époux leur sera enlevé, et alors ils jeûneront,
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
Personne ne met une pièce d’étoffe neuve à un vieux vêtement, car elle emporte du vêtement tout ce qu’elle recouvre, et la déchirure devient plus grande.
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
Et l’on ne met point de vin nouveau dans des outres vieilles, autrement les outres se rompent, le vin se répand, et les outres sont perdues; mais on met le vin nouveau dans des outres neuves, et tous les deux se conservent.
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
Comme il leur disait ces choses, un chef de synagogue s’approcha de lui et l’adorait, disant: Seigneur, ma fille vient de mourir; mais venez, imposez votre main sur elle, et elle vivra.
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
Et Jésus, se levant, le suivait avec ses disciples.
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
Et voilà qu’une femme affligée d’une perte de sang depuis douze ans, s’approcha de lui par derrière et toucha la frange de son vêtement.
Car elle disait en elle-même: Si je touche seulement son vêtement, je serai guérie.
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
Mais Jésus s’étant retourné, et la voyant, dit: Ma fille, ayez confiance, votre foi vous a guérie. Et cette femme fut guérie à l’heure même.
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
Or lorsque Jésus fut arrivé à la maison du chef de synagogue, et qu’il eut vu les joueurs de flûte et la foule tumultueuse, il disait:
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
Retirez-vous; car la jeune fille n’est pas morte, mais elle dort. Et ils se moquaient de lui.
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
Après donc qu’on eut renvoyé la foule, il entra, prit la main de la jeune fille, et elle se leva.
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
Et le bruit s’en répandit dans tout le pays.
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
Comme Jésus sortait de là, deux aveugles le suivirent, criant et disant: Fils de David, ayez pillé de nous.
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
Et lorsqu’il fut venu dans la maison, les aveugles s’approchèrent de lui. Et Jésus leur dit: Croyez-vous que je puisse faire cela? Ils lui dirent: Oui, Seigneur.
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
Alors il toucha leurs yeux, disant: Qu’il vous soit fait selon votre foi.
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
Aussitôt leurs yeux furent ouverts, et Jésus les menaça, disant: Prenez garde que personne ne le sache.
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
Mais eux, s’en allant, répandirent sa renommée dans tout ce pays-là.
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
Après qu’ils furent partis, on lui présenta un homme muet, possédé du démon.
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
Or, le démon chassé, le muet parla; et le peuple saisi d’admiration disait: Jamais rien de semblable ne s’est vu en Israël.
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
Mais les pharisiens disaient: C’est par le prince des démons qu’il chasse les démons.
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
Et Jésus parcourait toutes les villes et tous les villages, enseignant dans leurs synagogues, prêchant l’évangile du royaume et guérissant toute maladie et toute infirmité.
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
Or en voyant cette multitude, il en eut compassion, parce qu’ils étaient accablés et couchés comme des brebis n’ayant point de pasteur.
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
Alors il dit à ses disciples: La moisson est abondante, mais il y a peu d’ouvriers.
38 So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
Priez donc le maître de la moisson qu’il envoie des ouvriers à sa moisson.
