Luc 6
1 Or, le deuxième sabbat après le premier, il parcourait les champs de blé. Ses disciples arrachaient les épis et mangeaient en les frottant dans leurs mains.
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
2 Mais quelques-uns des pharisiens leur dirent: « Pourquoi faites-vous ce qu'il n'est pas permis de faire le jour du sabbat? »
Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
3 Jésus, prenant la parole, leur dit: « N'avez-vous pas lu ce que fit David quand il eut faim, lui et ceux qui étaient avec lui,
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
4 comment il entra dans la maison de Dieu, prit et mangea le pain de proposition, et en donna aussi à ceux qui étaient avec lui, ce qu'il n'est pas permis de manger, si ce n'est pour les prêtres seuls? »
David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
5 Il leur répondit: « Le Fils de l'homme est maître du sabbat. »
Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
6 Un autre sabbat, il entra dans la synagogue et enseigna. Il y avait là un homme, dont la main droite était desséchée.
Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
7 Les scribes et les pharisiens l'observaient, pour voir s'il ferait une guérison le jour du sabbat, afin de trouver une accusation contre lui.
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
8 Mais Jésus connaissait leurs pensées, et il dit à l'homme qui avait la main desséchée: « Lève-toi et tiens-toi au milieu. » Il se leva et se tint debout.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
9 Alors Jésus leur dit: « Je vais vous poser une question: est-il permis, le jour du sabbat, de faire du bien ou de faire du mal? De sauver une vie, ou de tuer? »
Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
10 Il les regarda tous, et dit à l'homme: « Étends ta main. » Il le fit, et sa main fut rendue aussi saine que l'autre.
[They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
11 Mais ils étaient remplis de rage, et ils parlaient entre eux de ce qu'ils pourraient faire à Jésus.
But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
12 En ces jours-là, il se rendit sur la montagne pour prier, et il passa toute la nuit à prier Dieu.
About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
13 Le jour venu, il appela ses disciples, et il en choisit douze, qu'il appela aussi apôtres:
The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
14 Simon, qu'il appela aussi Pierre; André, son frère; Jacques; Jean; Philippe; Barthélemy;
They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 Matthieu; Thomas; Jacques, fils d'Alphée; Simon, appelé le Zélote;
Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
16 Judas, fils de Jacques; et Judas Iscariote, qui devint aussi un traître.
Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
17 Il descendit avec eux et se tint sur un terrain plat, en compagnie d'une foule de ses disciples et d'un grand nombre de gens de toute la Judée, de Jérusalem et de la côte maritime de Tyr et de Sidon, qui venaient l'entendre et se faire guérir de leurs maladies,
[Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
18 ainsi que de ceux qui étaient tourmentés par des esprits impurs; et ils étaient guéris.
They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
19 Toute la foule cherchait à le toucher, car une force sortait de lui et les guérissait tous.
Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
20 Il leva les yeux vers ses disciples, et dit: « Heureux vous qui êtes pauvres, car le Royaume de Dieu est à vous.
He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
21 Heureux ceux qui ont faim maintenant, car vous serez comblé. Heureux êtes-vous ceux qui pleurent maintenant, car vous allez rire.
[God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
22 Heureux es-tu quand les hommes te haïssent, quand ils t'excluent et se moquent de toi, et qu'ils jettent ton nom en pâture, à cause du Fils de l'homme.
[God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
23 Réjouissez-vous en ce jour-là et tressaillez de joie, car voici que votre récompense est grande dans les cieux, car leurs pères ont agi de même envers les prophètes.
When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
24 « Mais malheur à vous qui êtes riches! Car vous avez reçu votre consolation.
But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
25 Malheur à vous, vous qui êtes rassasiés maintenant, car vous aurez faim. Malheur à vous qui riez maintenant, car vous serez en deuil et pleurerez.
There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
26 Malheur, quand les hommes disent du bien de toi, car leurs pères ont fait la même chose aux faux prophètes.
When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
27 « Mais moi, je vous dis, à vous qui m'écoutez: aimez vos ennemis, faites du bien à ceux qui vous haïssent,
“But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
28 bénissez ceux qui vous maudissent, et priez pour ceux qui vous maltraitent.
[Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
29 A celui qui te frappe sur la joue, présente aussi l'autre; et à celui qui te prend ton manteau, ne refuse pas aussi ta tunique.
If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
30 Donne à quiconque te demande, et ne demande pas à celui qui te prive de tes biens de te les rendre.
Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
31 « Comme vous voulez que les gens vous fassent, faites-leur exactement la même chose.
In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
32 « Si vous aimez ceux qui vous aiment, en quoi cela vous honore-t-il? Car même les pécheurs aiment ceux qui les aiment.
If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
33 Si vous faites du bien à ceux qui vous font du bien, quel honneur cela vous fait-il? Car même les pécheurs font de même.
If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
34 Si vous prêtez à ceux dont vous espérez recevoir, quel mérite avez-vous? Les pécheurs eux-mêmes prêtent aux pécheurs, pour en recevoir autant en retour.
If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
35 Mais aimez vos ennemis, faites le bien, prêtez sans rien attendre en retour, et votre récompense sera grande, et vous serez les enfants du Très-Haut, car il est bon envers les ingrats et les méchants.
Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
36 « Soyez donc miséricordieux, comme votre Père est aussi miséricordieux.
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
37 Ne jugez pas, et vous ne serez pas jugés. Ne condamnez pas, et tu ne seras pas condamné. Libérez-vous, et tu seras libéré.
“Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
38 « Donnez, et l'on vous donnera: on vous donnera une bonne mesure, tassée, secouée et débordante. Car c'est avec la même mesure que vous mesurez qu'on vous mesurera. »
Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
39 Il leur adressa une parabole. « Un aveugle peut-il guider un aveugle? Ne tomberont-ils pas tous deux dans une fosse?
He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
40 Un disciple n'est pas au-dessus de son maître, mais chacun, lorsqu'il sera bien formé, sera comme son maître.
A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
41 Pourquoi vois-tu la paille qui est dans l'œil de ton frère, mais ne considères-tu pas la poutre qui est dans ton propre œil?
(Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
42 Ou comment peux-tu dire à ton frère: « Mon frère, laisse-moi enlever la paille qui est dans ton œil », alors que tu ne vois pas toi-même la poutre qui est dans ton œil? Hypocrite! Enlève d'abord la poutre de ton œil, et alors tu pourras voir clairement pour enlever la paille qui est dans l'œil de ton frère.
(You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
43 « Car il n'y a pas de bon arbre qui produise des fruits pourris, ni d'arbre pourri qui produise de bons fruits.
“[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
44 Car on reconnaît chaque arbre à son fruit. Car on ne cueille pas des figues sur des épines, ni des raisins sur un buisson de ronces.
[Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
45 L'homme bon tire du bon trésor de son cœur ce qui est bon, et l'homme mauvais tire du mauvais trésor de son cœur ce qui est mauvais, car c'est de l'abondance du cœur que parle la bouche.
[Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
46 Pourquoi m'appelez-vous: « Seigneur, Seigneur », et ne faites-vous pas ce que je dis?
“[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
47 Quiconque vient à moi, entend mes paroles et les met en pratique, je vous montrerai à qui il est semblable.
Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
48 Il est semblable à un homme qui construit une maison, qui a creusé et approfondi, et qui a posé le fondement sur le roc. Quand il y a eu une inondation, le torrent s'est jeté contre cette maison et n'a pu l'ébranler, parce qu'elle était fondée sur le roc.
They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
49 Mais celui qui entend et ne fait pas, est semblable à un homme qui a bâti sur la terre une maison sans fondement, contre laquelle le torrent s'est brisé, et aussitôt elle est tombée; et la ruine de cette maison a été grande. »
But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
