Marc 6
1 Il partit de là. Il vint dans son pays, et ses disciples le suivirent.
Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
2 Le sabbat étant venu, il se mit à enseigner dans la synagogue. Beaucoup de gens qui l'entendaient étaient étonnés et disaient: « Où cet homme a-t-il pris ces choses? » et « Quelle est la sagesse qui a été donnée à cet homme, pour que de telles œuvres s'accomplissent par ses mains?
(On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day), [he entered] the Jewish worship house and taught [the people]. Many who were listening to him were astonished. [But some] were saying, “[This man is just an ordinary person like we are! So (we cannot believe that] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles![/how is it that] [RHQ] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles?) [RHQ]
3 N'est-ce pas le charpentier, fils de Marie et frère de Jacques, de Joses, de Juda et de Simon? Ses sœurs ne sont-elles pas ici avec nous? » Ils furent donc offensés par lui.
([We know that] he is [just an ordinary] carpenter!/Isn’t he [just an ordinary] carpenter [RHQ]?) [We know him and his family! We know] Mary his mother! ([We know] his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon!/Are not his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon?) [RHQ] And (his [younger] sisters also live here in this town!/do not his [younger] sisters also live here in this town?) [RHQ]” So they despised him.
4 Jésus leur dit: « Un prophète n'est pas sans honneur, si ce n'est dans son pays, parmi ses proches et dans sa maison. »
Jesus [knew that they refused to believe in him]. So he said to them, “[It is certainly true that] people honor [me and other] prophets [in other places, but] not in our hometowns! Even our relatives and the people who live in our own houses do not honor us!”
5 Là, il ne put faire aucune œuvre puissante, si ce n'est qu'il imposa les mains à quelques malades et les guérit.
[So], although he healed a few sick people there by touching them, he [decided] not to perform many [other] miracles [in Nazareth] because the people there did not believe that he was the Messiah.
6 Il s'étonnait de leur incrédulité. Il parcourait les villages en enseignant.
He was amazed that they did not believe [in him]. Mark 6:6b-13 Jesus [and his disciples] went from town to town [in that region] teaching [the people].
7 Il appela à lui les douze, et commença à les envoyer deux par deux; et il leur donna autorité sur les esprits impurs.
[One day] he summoned the twelve [disciples], and then he [told them that] he was going to send them out two-by-two [to teach people in various towns]. He gave them power [to expel] evil spirits [from people].
8 Il leur ordonna de ne rien emporter pour leur voyage, si ce n'est un bâton seulement: ni pain, ni portefeuille, ni argent dans leur bourse,
He also instructed them to wear sandals and to take along a walking stick when they were traveling. He told them not to take food, nor a bag [in which travelers carry supplies], nor any money for their journey. He also did not allow them to take extra clothing. [He wanted the people who heard their message to give them what they needed].
9 mais de porter des sandales, et de ne pas revêtir deux tuniques.
10 Il leur dit: « Là où vous entrez dans une maison, restez-y jusqu'à ce que vous en sortiez.
He also instructed them, “After you enter a town, [if someone invites you to stay in his house], go into his house. Eat and sleep in that same home until you leave that town.
11 Si quelqu'un ne vous reçoit pas et ne vous écoute pas, secouez la poussière qui est sous vos pieds, en témoignage contre lui. En vérité, je vous le dis, au jour du jugement, Sodome et Gomorrhe seront plus tolérables que cette ville-là! »
Wherever the people do not welcome you and wherever the people do not listen to you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave [that place]. By doing that, you will warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
12 Ils allaient et prêchaient que les gens se repentent.
[So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
13 Ils chassaient beaucoup de démons, et ils oignaient d'huile beaucoup de malades et les guérissaient.
They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
14 Le roi Hérode entendit cela, car son nom était connu, et il dit: « Jean le Baptiste est ressuscité des morts, et c'est pourquoi ces forces agissent en lui. »
[King] Herod [Antipas] heard about [what] Jesus [was doing], because many people were talking [about it. Some] people were saying [about Jesus], “[He must be] John the Baptizer! He has come back to life! That is why he [has God’s] power to perform these miracles!”
15 Mais d'autres disaient: « C'est Élie. » D'autres disaient: « C'est un prophète, ou comme un des prophètes. »
Others were saying [about Jesus], “He is [the former prophet] Elijah, [whom God promised to send back again].” Others were saying [about Jesus], “[No], he is a [different] prophet, like one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago].”
16 Hérode, ayant entendu cela, dit: « C'est Jean, que j'ai décapité. Il est ressuscité des morts. »
Having heard [what the people were saying, King] Herod [Antipas] himself repeatedly said, “The man [performing those miracles] must be John! I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head, but he has come back to life again [to get revenge for my killing him]!”
17 Car Hérode lui-même avait envoyé arrêter Jean et l'avait fait lier en prison à cause d'Hérodiade, la femme de Philippe, son frère, car il l'avait épousée.
The reason [King Herod concluded that John wanted revenge is as follows: Some time before this], Herod married Herodias, while she was [still] the wife of his [younger] brother, Philip.
18 Car Jean avait dit à Hérode: « Il ne t'est pas permis d'avoir la femme de ton frère. »
John kept telling Herod, “[God’s] law does not permit you to marry the wife of your brother [while he is still alive].” Then, because Herodias [urged him to put John in prison], Herod himself sent [soldiers to John]. They seized John and put him in prison.
19 Hérodias se dressa contre lui et voulut le tuer, mais elle ne le put pas,
But because Herodias wanted to get [further] revenge on John, she wanted [someone] to execute him. But she could not do that because [while John was in prison], Herod kept John safe [from her].
20 car Hérode craignait Jean, sachant que c'était un homme juste et saint, et il le protégeait. Lorsqu'il l'entendit, il fit beaucoup de choses, et il l'écouta avec plaisir.
Herod did this because he respected/feared John, because he knew that he was a righteous and holy man. The king did not know what he should do, but he liked to listen to him.
21 Un jour opportun arriva où Hérode, le jour de son anniversaire, donna un souper à ses nobles, aux hauts fonctionnaires et aux chefs de la Galilée.
But [Herodias was able to have someone execute John when they honored/celebrated] the day when Herod was born. On that day, he invited the [most important] government officials, the [most important] army leaders, and the most important men in Galilee [district] in order that they might eat [and celebrate with him].
22 Lorsque la fille d'Hérodiade entra et dansa, elle plut à Hérode et à ceux qui étaient assis avec lui. Le roi dit à la jeune fille: « Demande-moi ce que tu veux, et je te le donnerai. »
[While they were eating], Herodias’ daughter came into the room and danced, and that pleased [King] Herod and his guests. So the king said to her, “Ask me for whatever you desire and I will give it to you!”
23 Il lui jura: « Tout ce que tu me demanderas, je te le donnerai, jusqu'à la moitié de mon royaume. »
He said to her, “Whatever you ask, I will give it to you! I will give you up to half of what I own and rule, if you ask for it. May God punish me [if I do not do what I have promised]!”
24 Elle sortit et dit à sa mère: « Que dois-je demander? » Elle a dit: « La tête de Jean le Baptiste. »
The girl immediately left the room and went to her mother. She [told her what the king had said, and] asked her, “What shall I ask for?” Her mother replied, “[Ask the king to give you] the head of John the Baptizer!”
25 Elle se rendit aussitôt en toute hâte auprès du roi et lui demanda: « Je veux que tu me donnes sur-le-champ la tête de Jean le Baptiste sur un plateau. »
The girl quickly entered the room again. She went to the king and she requested, “I want you to command someone to [cut off] the head of John the Baptizer [and] give it to me at once on a platter, [so that my mother can know he is dead]!”
26 Le roi était extrêmement désolé, mais par égard pour ses serments et pour ses convives, il ne voulait pas la refuser.
The king became very distressed [when he heard what she asked for], because he knew John was a very righteous man (OR, because he now knew that he should not have made that promise to her). But he could not refuse [what she requested because] he had promised [that he would give her anything she asked for], and because his guests [had heard him promise that].
27 Aussitôt, le roi envoya un soldat de sa garde et ordonna d'apporter la tête de Jean; il alla le décapiter dans la prison,
So the king at once ordered the man who executes prisoners to go and [cut off] John’s head and bring it [to the girl]. That man went to the prison and cut off John’s head.
28 ramena sa tête sur un plateau et la donna à la jeune femme; et la jeune femme la donna à sa mère.
He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
29 Lorsque ses disciples entendirent cela, ils vinrent prendre son cadavre et le déposèrent dans un tombeau.
After John’s disciples heard [what happened], they went [to the prison] and took John’s body and then they buried [it in a burial cave].
30 Les apôtres s'assemblèrent auprès de Jésus, et ils lui racontèrent tout ce qu'ils avaient fait et tout ce qu'ils avaient enseigné.
The [twelve] apostles returned to Jesus [from the places to which they had gone]. They reported to him what they had done and what they had taught [to people].
31 Il leur dit: « Allez dans un lieu désert, et reposez-vous quelque temps. » Car il y avait beaucoup d'allées et venues, et ils n'avaient même pas le loisir de manger.
He said to them, “Come [with me] to a place where no people are living, in order that we can be alone and rest a little while!” [He said this] because many people were continually coming to them and going [away again], with the result that [Jesus and] his disciples did not have time to eat [or do anything else].
32 Ils partirent donc dans la barque, et s'en allèrent seuls dans un lieu désert.
So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
33 Ils les virent aller, et beaucoup le reconnurent et y coururent à pied de toutes les villes. Ils arrivèrent avant eux et se rassemblèrent auprès de lui.
[But many] people saw them leaving. They also recognized [that they were Jesus and the disciples, and they saw where they were going]. So they ran [ahead on land] from all the [nearby] towns to the place [where Jesus and his disciples were going]. They [actually] arrived there before [Jesus and the disciples].
34 Jésus sortit, vit une grande foule, et il eut pitié d'eux parce qu'ils étaient comme des brebis sans berger; et il se mit à leur enseigner beaucoup de choses.
As Jesus [and his disciples] got out of the boat, Jesus saw this large crowd. He felt sorry for them because they were [confused], like sheep that do not have a shepherd. So he taught them many things.
35 Comme il était tard dans la journée, ses disciples s'approchèrent de lui et dirent: « Ce lieu est désert, et il est tard dans la journée.
Late [in the afternoon], the disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where no people live and it is very late.
36 Renvoie-les, afin qu'ils aillent dans les campagnes et les villages d'alentour s'acheter du pain, car ils n'ont rien à manger. »
[So] send the people away in order that they may go to the surrounding farms and villages in order that they can buy for themselves something to eat!”
37 Mais il leur répondit: « Vous leur donnez à manger. » Ils lui demandèrent: « Allons-nous acheter pour deux cents deniers de pain et leur donner à manger? »
But he replied, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “(We could not buy enough bread to feed [this crowd], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days!/How could we buy enough bread to feed [this mob], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days?)” [RHQ]
38 Il leur dit: « Combien de pains avez-vous? Allez voir. » Quand ils l'ont su, ils ont dit: « Cinq et deux poissons. »
But he replied to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and find out!” They [went and] found out and then they told him, “We have [only] five flat loaves and two [cooked] fish!”
39 Il leur ordonna de s'asseoir par groupes sur l'herbe verte.
He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
40 Ils s'assirent en rangs, par centaines et par cinquantaines.
So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
41 Il prit les cinq pains et les deux poissons; et, levant les yeux au ciel, il bénit et rompit les pains, qu'il donna à ses disciples pour les mettre devant eux, et il partagea les deux poissons entre tous.
Jesus took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God] for them. Then he broke the loaves and fish into pieces and kept giving them to the disciples in order that they would distribute them to the people.
42 Ils mangèrent tous et furent rassasiés.
Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
43 Ils emportèrent douze paniers pleins des morceaux rompus et aussi des poissons.
The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
44 Ceux qui avaient mangé les pains étaient cinq mille hommes.
There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
45 Aussitôt, il fit monter ses disciples dans la barque et les fit passer à l'autre rive, à Bethsaïda, tandis que lui-même renvoyait la foule.
Right away Jesus told his disciples to get into the boat and then go ahead of him to Bethsaida [town, which was] further around [Lake Galilee. He stayed and] dismissed the many people who were there.
46 Après avoir pris congé d'eux, il monta sur la montagne pour prier.
After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
47 Le soir venu, la barque était au milieu de la mer, et lui était seul à terre.
When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
48 Les voyant dans l'angoisse de ramer, car le vent leur était contraire, vers la quatrième veille de la nuit, il vint à eux, marchant sur la mer; il aurait voulu passer près d'eux,
He saw that the wind was [blowing] against them as they rowed. As a result, they were having great difficulty. He approached them early in the morning, when it was still dark, by walking on the water. He intended to walk by them.
49 mais eux, le voyant marcher sur la mer, crurent que c'était un fantôme et poussèrent des cris;
They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
50 car tous le voyaient et étaient troublés. Mais aussitôt il leur parla et leur dit: « Courage! C'est moi! N'ayez pas peur. »
because they all were terrified when they saw him. But he talked to them. He said to them, “Be calm! Do not be afraid, [because] it is I!”
51 Il monta dans la barque avec eux; et le vent cessa, et ils furent très étonnés entre eux, et s'en étonnèrent;
He got into the boat [and sat down] with them and the wind [immediately] blowing. They were completely amazed [about what he had done].
52 car ils n'avaient pas compris pour les pains, mais leur cœur était endurci.
[Although they had seen Jesus multiply] the [bread and the fish], they did not understand [from that how powerful he was, as they should have]. They did not think clearly about it.
53 Après avoir traversé, ils abordèrent à Génésareth et s'amarrèrent au rivage.
After they went further around [Lake Galilee in a boat, they came to the shore at Gennesaret town]. Then they tied up the boat there.
54 Dès qu'ils furent descendus de la barque, les gens le reconnurent,
As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
55 et coururent dans toute la région. Ils se mirent à amener les malades sur leurs nattes là où ils avaient appris qu'il était.
So they ran throughout the whole district [in order to tell others that Jesus was there]. Then the people [placed] those who were sick on stretchers and carried them to any place where they heard [people say] that Jesus was.
56 Partout où il entrait, dans les villages, dans les villes ou dans les campagnes, ils déposaient les malades sur les places publiques et le priaient de leur permettre de toucher la frange de son vêtement; et tous ceux qui le touchaient étaient guéris.
In whatever village, town or other place where he entered, they would bring to the marketplaces those who were sick. Then the [sick people] would beg Jesus to let them touch [him or] even the edge of his clothes [in order that Jesus might heal them]. All those who touched [him or his robe] were healed.
