< Romans 5 >
1 Because we trusted [in Christ], the record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins}. So we [now] have a peaceful relationship with God because of our trust in what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
Étant donc justifiés par la foi, nous avons la paix avec Dieu, par notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ,
2 Because of [what] Christ [has done], God has also enabled us to begin experiencing his continually acting toward us in ways that we do not deserve. Also, we rejoice because we are confidently expecting that God [will gladly show] us how great he is.
qui nous a fait aussi avoir accès, par la foi, à cette grâce dans laquelle nous demeurons fermes; et nous nous glorifions dans l'espérance de la gloire de Dieu.
3 We rejoice even when we suffer [as a result of our trusting in Christ], because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things [patiently].
Bien plus encore, nous nous glorifions même dans les afflictions, sachant que l'affliction produit la patience,
4 And [we know] that when we endure things [patiently], the result is that [God] approves [of us]. And when we [know that God] approves [of us], the result is that we confidently expect [that he will do great things for us].
la patience la fidélité éprouvée, et la fidélité éprouvée, l'espérance.
5 And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly [for], because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom [he] has} given to us, [causes] us to understand how much God loves us.
Or, l'espérance ne rend pas confus, parce que l'amour de Dieu a été répandu dans nos coeurs par le Saint-Esprit, qui nous a été donné.
6 When we were unable [to save ourselves], it was Christ who, at the time [that God chose], died on behalf of [us] ungodly [people].
En effet, lorsque nous étions encore sans force, Christ, au temps marqué, est mort pour des impies.
7 Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, [even if] that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person.
Or, à peine voudrait-on mourir pour un juste; peut-être cependant, pour un homme de bien, quelqu'un se résoudrait-il à mourir.
8 Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
Mais Dieu a fait éclater son amour envers nous en ce que, quand nous étions encore des pécheurs, Christ est mort pour nous.
9 The record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins} because of [what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed when he died]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved by Christ {that Christ will save us} from God’s punishing us [eternally] [MTY].
Combien plus, étant maintenant justifiés par son sang, serons-nous sauvés par lui de la colère!
10 Even when we were acting hostilely towards God, he enabled us to have a peaceful relationship with him as a result of his Son dying [for us]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved {Christ will be able to save us} [from God’s punishing us] [MTY] because Christ is alive [again] and because [God] has enabled us to have a peaceful relationship [with himself].
Car si, lorsque nous étions les ennemis de Dieu, nous avons été réconciliés avec lui par la mort de son Fils, combien plus, étant réconciliés, serons-nous sauvés par sa vie!
11 And that’s not all! Now we also rejoice about [the things that] God [has done for us] because of our Lord Jesus Christ [dying for us] and enabling us to have a peaceful relationship with God.
Bien plus, nous nous glorifions en Dieu par notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, par lequel nous avons maintenant obtenu la réconciliation.
12 [What you can learn from what I have written so far is as follows]: All people are sinful [PRS], and that is the result of [Adam, the first] man whom [God created, sinning long ago]. Adam died [PRS] because he sinned. So, all people [who have lived since then] die, because [it is as though] all people sinned [when Adam sinned].
C'est pourquoi, comme, par un seul homme, le péché est entré dans le monde, et par le péché la mort, — et qu'ainsi la mort a passé sur tous les hommes, parce que tous ont péché.
13 [People in] [MTY] the world sinned before [God gave his] laws [to Moses]. But people are not considered [by God] {[God] does not consider people} to be guilty for their sins if there is no law [stating that what they did was sinful].
En effet, avant la loi, le péché était dans le monde; mais le péché n'est pas imputé, quand il n'y a point de loi.
14 But [we know] that from [the time when] Adam [lived] until [the time when] Moses [lived], all people sinned, and they died [as a consequence] [PRS, MET]. Even people who sinned differently from the way Adam [sinned, died]. [Adam’s sin] affected [all people], just like what [Christ did], the one who came later, can affect all people.
Cependant la mort a régné, depuis Adam jusqu'à Moïse, même sur ceux qui n'avaient pas péché par une transgression semblable à celle d'Adam, lequel est l'image de Celui qui devait venir.
15 But [the results of God’s erasing the record of our sins as] a gift to us are not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. The result of one man, [Adam], sinning was that many/all people have died. But [it is certain], [however], that many people have abundantly experienced God’s acting kindly toward them in a way they did not deserve. [It is also certain] that they have experienced God’s erasing the record of their sins as the result of one man, Jesus Christ, acting kindly toward them/towards them in a way they did not deserve.
Mais il n'en est pas du don de la grâce comme de la faute. Car si, par la faute d'un seul, tous les autres sont morts, combien plus la grâce de Dieu et le don qu'il nous a fait, dans sa grâce, par un seul homme, Jésus-Christ, — ont-ils abondé pour tous les autres!
16 And [there is another way in which God’s] freely [erasing the record of our sins] is not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. One person, [Adam, sinned]. As a result, God declared that all people deserve to be punished. Many people sinned. But what God did was that he erased the record of their sins without their earning it.
Et il n'en est pas de ce don comme des suites du péché commis par un seul homme: par suite d'une seule faute, le jugement a entraîné la condamnation; mais le don de la grâce, après un grand nombre de fautes, conduit à la justification.
17 All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, [Adam], did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule [with Christ] (OR, share [the glory] of Christ’s being king), [in heaven. This will happen] because of [what] one man, Jesus Christ, [did for us].
En effet, si, par la faute d'un seul, la mort a régné par ce seul homme, combien plus ceux qui reçoivent dans toute leur abondance la grâce et le don de la justice, régneront-ils dans la vie par un seul, Jésus-Christ!
18 So, [because one man, Adam], disobeyed [God’s law], that resulted in all people deserving to be punished {that God punish them}. Similarly, because one man, [Jesus], acted righteously [by obeying God when he died], the result was that God is [able to erase the record of] all people’s sins and [enable them to] live eternally.
Ainsi donc, de même que, par une seule faute, la condamnation s'étend à tous les hommes, de même, par un seul acte de justice, la justification qui donne la vie s'étend aussi à tous.
19 It was because one person, [Adam], disobeyed [God] that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, [Jesus], obeyed [God when he died] that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that [he] will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
Car de même que, par la désobéissance d'un seul homme, tous les autres ont été rendus pécheurs, ainsi, par l'obéissance d'un seul, tous les autres seront rendus justes.
20 [God gave] [PRS] his laws [to Moses] [PRS] in order that [people might realize] how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
Or, la loi est intervenue, afin que la faute abondât; mais, où le péché a abondé, la grâce a surabondé,
21 He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios )
afin que, comme le péché a régné en donnant la mort, ainsi la grâce régnât par la justice, pour donner la vie éternelle par Jésus-Christ, notre Seigneur. (aiōnios )
