< Matthieu 4 >
1 Alors Jésus fut emmené dans le désert par l’Esprit pour être tenté par le diable.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
2 Et ayant jeûné 40 jours et 40 nuits, après cela il eut faim.
After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
3 Et le tentateur, s’approchant de lui, dit: Si tu es Fils de Dieu, dis que ces pierres deviennent des pains.
[Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 Mais lui, répondant, dit: Il est écrit: « L’homme ne vivra pas de pain seulement, mais de toute parole qui sort de la bouche de Dieu ».
But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
5 Alors le diable le transporte dans la ville sainte, et le place sur le faîte du temple,
Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
6 et lui dit: Si tu es Fils de Dieu, jette-toi en bas, car il est écrit: « Il donnera des ordres à ses anges à ton sujet, et ils te porteront sur [leurs] mains, de peur que tu ne heurtes ton pied contre une pierre ».
and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
7 Jésus lui dit: Il est encore écrit: « Tu ne tenteras pas le Seigneur ton Dieu ».
But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
8 Le diable le transporte encore sur une fort haute montagne, et lui montre tous les royaumes du monde et leur gloire,
Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
9 et lui dit: Je te donnerai toutes ces choses, si, te prosternant, tu me rends hommage.
And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
10 Alors Jésus lui dit: Va-t’en, Satan, car il est écrit: « Tu rendras hommage au Seigneur ton Dieu, et tu le serviras lui seul ».
But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
11 Alors le diable le laisse: et voici, des anges s’approchèrent et le servirent.
Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
12 Or, ayant entendu dire que Jean avait été livré, il se retira en Galilée;
[While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
13 et ayant quitté Nazareth, il alla demeurer à Capernaüm, qui est au bord de la mer, sur les confins de Zabulon et de Nephthali,
Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
14 afin que fût accompli ce qui avait été dit par Ésaïe le prophète, disant:
[One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
15 « Terre de Zabulon, et terre de Nephthali, chemin de la mer au-delà du Jourdain, Galilée des nations:
“Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
16 le peuple assis dans les ténèbres a vu une grande lumière; et sur ceux qui sont assis dans la région et dans l’ombre de la mort, la lumière s’est levée ».
[Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
17 Dès lors Jésus commença à prêcher et à dire: Repentez-vous, car le royaume des cieux s’est approché.
From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
18 Et comme il marchait le long de la mer de Galilée, il vit deux frères, Simon appelé Pierre, et André son frère, qui jetaient un filet dans la mer, car ils étaient pêcheurs;
[One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
19 et il leur dit: Venez après moi, et je vous ferai pêcheurs d’hommes.
He said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will teach you how to gather people [to become my disciples].” [MET]
20 Et eux aussitôt, ayant laissé leurs filets, le suivirent.
They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
21 Et, passant de là plus avant, il vit deux autres frères, Jacques le [fils] de Zébédée, et Jean son frère, dans le bateau avec Zébédée leur père, raccommodant leurs filets, et il les appela;
As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
22 et eux aussitôt, ayant quitté le bateau et leur père, le suivirent.
They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
23 Et Jésus parcourait toute la Galilée, enseignant dans leurs synagogues, et prêchant l’évangile du royaume, et guérissant toute sorte de maladies et toute sorte de langueurs parmi le peuple.
Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
24 Et sa renommée se répandit dans toute la Syrie; et on lui amena tous ceux qui se portaient mal, qui étaient affligés de diverses maladies et de divers tourments, et des démoniaques, et des lunatiques, et des paralytiques, et il les guérit.
When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
25 Et de grandes foules le suivirent de la Galilée, et de Décapolis, et de Jérusalem, et de Judée, et de par-delà le Jourdain.
Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
