Marc 13
1 Comme il sortait du temple, l'un de ses disciples lui dit: « Maître, vois quelle sorte de pierres et quelle sorte de bâtiments! »
While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
2 Jésus lui dit: « Vois-tu ces grandes constructions? Il ne restera pas ici pierre sur pierre, qui ne soit renversée. »
Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
3 Comme il était assis sur la montagne des Oliviers, en face du temple, Pierre, Jacques, Jean et André lui demandèrent en privé:
After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
4 « Dis-nous, quand cela arrivera-t-il? Quel est le signe que toutes ces choses vont s'accomplir? »
“Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
5 Jésus, prenant la parole, se mit à leur dire: « Prenez garde que personne ne vous égare.
Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
6 Car plusieurs viendront en mon nom, disant: « C'est moi », et ils égareront beaucoup de gens.
Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
7 « Quand vous entendrez parler de guerres et de bruits de guerres, ne vous troublez pas. Car il faut que cela arrive, mais la fin n'est pas encore venue.
Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
8 Car une nation s'élèvera contre une nation, et un royaume contre un royaume. Il y aura des tremblements de terre en divers lieux. Il y aura des famines et des troubles. Ces choses sont le début des douleurs de la naissance.
[Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
9 « Mais prenez garde à vous, car on vous livrera aux conseils. Vous serez battus dans les synagogues. Vous vous présenterez devant des chefs et des rois à cause de moi, pour leur rendre témoignage.
Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
10 Il faut d'abord que la Bonne Nouvelle soit prêchée à toutes les nations.
My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
11 Quand on vous emmènera et qu'on vous livrera, ne vous inquiétez pas d'avance et ne préméditez pas ce que vous allez dire, mais dites ce qui vous sera donné à l'heure même. Car ce n'est pas vous qui parlez, mais l'Esprit Saint.
And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
12 « Le frère livrera son frère à la mort, et le père son enfant. Les enfants se soulèveront contre les parents et les feront mourir.
[Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
13 Vous serez haïs de tous à cause de mon nom, mais celui qui persévérera jusqu'à la fin sera sauvé.
[In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
14 « Mais quand vous verrez l'abomination de la désolation, dont a parlé le prophète Daniel, debout là où elle ne doit pas être » (que le lecteur comprenne), « que ceux qui sont en Judée fuient dans les montagnes,
[During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
15 et que celui qui est sur le toit ne descende pas et n'entre pas pour prendre quelque chose dans sa maison.
Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
16 Que celui qui est dans les champs ne revienne pas pour prendre son manteau.
Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
17 Mais malheur à celles qui sont enceintes et à celles qui allaitent en ces jours-là!
But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
18 Priez pour que votre fuite ne se fasse pas en hiver.
In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
19 Car en ces jours-là, il y aura une oppression telle qu'il n'y en a pas eu de semblable depuis le commencement de la création que Dieu a faite jusqu'à maintenant, et qu'il n'y en aura jamais.
20 Si le Seigneur n'avait abrégé les jours, aucune chair n'aurait été sauvée; mais, à cause des élus qu'il a choisis, il a abrégé les jours.
If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
21 Si donc quelqu'un vous dit: « Voici le Christ » ou « Regardez, voilà », ne le croyez pas.
[At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
22 Car il s'élèvera de faux christs et de faux prophètes, qui feront des signes et des prodiges, afin d'égarer, si possible, même les élus.
23 Mais vous, veillez. « Voici, je vous ai tout annoncé d'avance.
Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
24 Mais en ces jours-là, après cette oppression, le soleil s'obscurcira, la lune ne donnera plus sa lumière,
After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
25 les étoiles tomberont du ciel, et les puissances qui sont dans les cieux seront ébranlées.
the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
26 Alors ils verront le Fils de l'homme venant sur des nuées avec beaucoup de puissance et de gloire.
Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
27 Alors il enverra ses anges, et il rassemblera ses élus des quatre vents, des extrémités de la terre aux extrémités du ciel.
Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
28 « Maintenant, apprenez cette parabole du figuier. Lorsque le rameau est devenu tendre et qu'il produit ses feuilles, tu sais que l'été est proche;
Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
29 de même, vous aussi, lorsque vous voyez ces choses arriver, sachez que c'est proche, aux portes.
Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
30 Je vous le dis en toute certitude, cette génération ne passera pas que toutes ces choses n'arrivent.
Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
31 Le ciel et la terre passeront, mais mes paroles ne passeront pas.
You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
32 Mais ce jour-là et cette heure-là, personne ne le sait, ni les anges dans le ciel, ni le Fils, mais le Père seul.
But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
33 Veillez, soyez vigilants et priez, car vous ne savez pas quand le moment sera venu.
So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
34 « C'est comme si un homme partait pour un autre pays, quittait sa maison, donnait des ordres à ses serviteurs et à chacun son travail, et ordonnait au portier de veiller.
When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
35 Veillez donc, car vous ne savez pas quand le maître de maison viendra, soit le soir, soit à minuit, soit au chant du coq, soit le matin,
[That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
36 de peur qu'en venant tout à coup, il ne vous trouve endormis.
[May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
37 Ce que je vous dis, je le dis à tous: Veillez! »
These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
