Marc 15
1 Dès le matin, les principaux sacrificateurs, avec les anciens, les scribes et tout le sanhédrin, se concertèrent, lièrent Jésus, l'emmenèrent, et le livrèrent à Pilate.
Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
2 Pilate lui demanda: « Es-tu le roi des Juifs? » Il a répondu: « C'est ce que vous dites. »
Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
3 Les principaux sacrificateurs l'accusèrent de beaucoup de choses.
Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
4 Pilate lui demanda de nouveau: « Ne réponds-tu pas? Vois combien de choses ils témoignent contre toi! »
So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
5 Mais Jésus ne répondit plus rien, ce qui étonna Pilate.
But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
6 Or, à l'occasion de la fête, il avait l'habitude de leur relâcher un prisonnier, celui qu'ils lui demandaient.
It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
7 Il y avait un dénommé Barabbas, lié avec ses compagnons d'insurrection, des hommes qui, dans l'insurrection, avaient commis un meurtre.
[At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
8 La foule, poussant de grands cris, se mit à lui demander de faire comme il avait toujours fait pour elle.
A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
9 Pilate leur répondit: « Voulez-vous que je vous relâche le roi des Juifs? »
Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
10 Car il savait que c'était par envie que les principaux sacrificateurs l'avaient livré.
[He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
11 Mais les principaux sacrificateurs excitèrent la foule, afin qu'il leur relâchât Barabbas à la place.
But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
12 Pilate leur demanda de nouveau: « Que dois-je donc faire à celui que vous appelez le roi des Juifs? »
Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
13 Ils crièrent à nouveau: « Crucifie-le! »
Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
14 Pilate leur dit: « Pourquoi, quel mal a-t-il fait? » Mais ils criaient avec force: « Crucifie-le! »
Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
15 Pilate, voulant plaire à la foule, leur relâcha Barabbas, et remit Jésus, après l'avoir fait flageller, pour qu'il soit crucifié.
So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
16 Les soldats l'emmenèrent dans la cour, qui est le prétoire, et ils convoquèrent toute la cohorte.
The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
17 Ils le revêtirent de pourpre, et, tissant une couronne d'épines, ils la lui posèrent.
[After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
18 Ils se mirent à le saluer: « Salut, roi des Juifs! »
Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
19 Ils lui frappèrent la tête avec un roseau, crachèrent sur lui, et, fléchissant les genoux, lui rendirent hommage.
They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
20 Après s'être moqués de lui, ils lui ôtèrent le manteau de pourpre et le revêtirent de ses propres vêtements. Puis ils le conduisirent dehors pour le crucifier.
When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
21 Ils obligèrent un passant, venu du pays, Simon de Cyrène, père d'Alexandre et de Rufus, à aller avec eux, afin qu'il portât sa croix.
[After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
22 Ils le conduisirent au lieu appelé Golgotha, qui est, selon l'interprétation, « le lieu du crâne ».
They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
23 Ils lui offrirent à boire du vin mêlé de myrrhe, mais il ne le prit pas.
Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
24 Après l'avoir crucifié, ils se partagèrent ses vêtements, en tirant au sort ce que chacun devait prendre.
[Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
25 C'était la troisième heure quand ils le crucifièrent.
It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
26 L'inscription de son accusation était écrite sur lui: « LE ROI DES JUIFS ».
They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
27 Ils crucifièrent avec lui deux brigands, l'un à sa droite, l'autre à sa gauche.
They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
28 Ainsi s'accomplit l'Écriture, qui dit: « Il a été compté parmi les transgresseurs. »
29 Les passants le blasphémaient, remuant la tête et disant: « Ha! toi qui détruis le temple et le rebâtis en trois jours,
The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
30 sauve-toi toi-même, et descends de la croix! »
[If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
31 De même, les chefs des prêtres, se moquant entre eux et avec les scribes, disaient: « Il a sauvé les autres. Il ne peut pas se sauver lui-même.
The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
32 Que le Christ, le roi d'Israël, descende maintenant de la croix, afin que nous le voyions et que nous le croyions. » Ceux qui ont été crucifiés avec lui l'ont aussi insulté.
He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
33 La sixième heure étant arrivée, il y eut des ténèbres sur toute la terre jusqu'à la neuvième heure.
At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
34 A la neuvième heure, Jésus s'écria d'une voix forte: « Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? », ce qui revient à dire: « Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné? »
At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
35 Quelques-uns de ceux qui étaient là, l'ayant entendu, dirent: « Voici, il appelle Élie. »
When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
36 Quelqu'un courut remplir une éponge de vinaigre, la mit sur un roseau et la lui donna à boire, en disant: « Laisse-le. Voyons si Élie viendra le faire tomber. »
One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
37 Jésus poussa un grand cri, et rendit l'esprit.
And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
38 Le voile du temple se déchira en deux, depuis le haut jusqu'en bas.
[At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
39 Le centurion, qui se tenait en face de lui, voyant qu'il avait poussé un tel cri et rendu le dernier soupir, dit: « Vraiment, cet homme était le Fils de Dieu! »
The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
40 Il y avait aussi des femmes qui regardaient de loin, parmi lesquelles Marie-Madeleine, Marie, mère de Jacques le Mineur et de Joses, et Salomé,
There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
41 qui, lorsqu'il était en Galilée, le suivaient et le servaient, et beaucoup d'autres femmes qui montèrent avec lui à Jérusalem.
42 Le soir étant venu, comme c'était le jour de la préparation, c'est-à-dire la veille du sabbat,
When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
43 Joseph d'Arimathée, membre éminent du conseil, qui cherchait aussi lui-même le royaume de Dieu, arriva. Il alla hardiment trouver Pilate, et demanda le corps de Jésus.
44 Pilate fut surpris d'apprendre qu'il était déjà mort; et, convoquant le centurion, il lui demanda s'il était mort depuis longtemps.
Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
45 Le centurion lui ayant répondu, il accorda le corps à Joseph.
When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
46 Il acheta une toile de lin, descendit le corps, l'enroula dans la toile de lin et le déposa dans un tombeau taillé dans le roc. Il roula une pierre contre la porte du sépulcre.
After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
47 Marie de Magdala et Marie, mère de Joses, virent où il était couché.
Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
