Luc 23
1 Puis ils se levèrent tous et le menèrent à Pilate.
Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
2 Et ils se mirent à l'accuser, disant: nous avons trouvé cet homme sollicitant la nation à la révolte, et défendant de donner le tribut à César, et se disant être le Christ, le Roi.
They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
3 Et Pilate l'interrogea, disant: Es-tu le Roi des Juifs? Et [Jésus] répondant, lui dit: tu le dis.
Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
4 Alors Pilate dit aux principaux Sacrificateurs et à la troupe du peuple: je ne trouve aucun crime en cet homme.
Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
5 Mais ils insistaient encore davantage, disant: il émeut le peuple, enseignant par toute la Judée, et ayant commencé depuis la Galilée jusques ici.
But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
6 Or quand Pilate entendit parler de la Galilée, il demanda si cet homme était Galiléen.
When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
7 Et ayant appris qu'il était de la juridiction d'Hérode, il le renvoya à Hérode, qui en ces jours-là était aussi à Jérusalem.
When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Et lorsque Hérode vit Jésus, il en fut fort joyeux, car il y avait longtemps qu'il désirait de le voir, à cause qu'il entendait dire plusieurs choses de lui, et il espérait qu'il lui verrait faire quelque miracle.
[So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
9 Il l'interrogea donc par divers discours; mais [Jésus] ne lui répondit rien.
So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
10 Et les principaux Sacrificateurs et les Scribes comparurent, l'accusant avec une grande véhémence.
The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
11 Mais Hérode avec ses gens l'ayant méprisé, et s'étant moqué de lui, après qu'il l'eut revêtu d'un vêtement blanc, le renvoya à Pilate.
Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
12 Et en ce même jour Pilate et Hérode devinrent amis entre eux; car auparavant ils étaient ennemis.
Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
13 Alors Pilate ayant appelé les principaux Sacrificateurs, et les Gouverneurs, et le peuple, il leur dit:
Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
14 Vous m'avez présenté cet homme comme soulevant le peuple; et voici, l'en ayant fait répondre devant vous, je n'ai trouvé en cet homme aucun de ces crimes dont vous l'accusez;
He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
15 Ni Hérode non plus; car je vous ai renvoyés à lui, et voici, rien ne lui a été fait [qui marque qu'il soit] digne de mort.
[Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
16 Quand donc je l'aurai fait fouetter, je le relâcherai.
So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
17 Or il fallait qu'il leur relâchât quelqu'un à la fête.
18 Et toutes les troupes s'écrièrent ensemble, disant: ôte celui-ci, et relâche-nous Barabbas;
But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
19 Qui avait été mis en prison pour quelque sédition faite dans la ville, avec meurtre.
Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
20 Pilate donc leur parla encore, voulant relâcher Jésus.
Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
21 Mais ils s'écriaient, disant: crucifie, Crucifie-le.
But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
22 Et il leur dit pour la troisième fois, mais quel mal a fait cet homme? je ne trouve rien en lui qui soit digne de mort; l'ayant donc fait fouetter, je le relâcherai.
He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
23 Mais ils insistaient à grands cris, demandant qu'il fût crucifié; et leurs cris et ceux des principaux Sacrificateurs se renforçaient.
But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
24 Alors Pilate prononça que ce qu'ils demandaient, fût fait.
Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
25 Et il leur relâcha celui qui pour sédition et pour meurtre avait été mis en prison, et lequel ils demandaient; et il abandonna Jésus à leur volonté.
The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
26 Et comme ils l'emmenaient, ils prirent un certain Simon, Cyrénien, qui venait des champs, et le chargèrent de la croix pour la porter après Jésus.
As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
27 Or il était suivi d'une grande multitude de peuple et de femmes, qui se frappaient la poitrine, et le pleuraient.
A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
28 Mais Jésus se tournant vers elles, [leur] dit: filles de Jérusalem, ne pleurez point sur moi, mais pleurez sur vous-mêmes, et sur vos enfants.
But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
29 Car voici, les jours viendront auxquels on dira: bienheureuses sont les stériles, et celles qui n'ont point eu d'enfant, et les mamelles qui n'ont point nourri.
I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
30 Alors ils se mettront à dire aux montagnes: tombez sur nous; et aux côteaux: couvrez-nous.
Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
31 Car s'ils font ces choses au bois vert, que sera-t-il fait au bois sec?
[I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
32 Deux autres aussi [qui étaient] des malfaiteurs, furent menés pour les faire mourir avec lui.
Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
33 Et quand ils furent venus au lieu qui est appelé le Test, ils le crucifièrent là, et les malfaiteurs aussi, l'un à la droite, et l'autre à la gauche.
When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
34 Mais Jésus disait: Père, pardonne-leur, car ils ne savent ce qu'ils font. Ils firent ensuite le partage de ses vêtements, et ils les jetèrent au sort.
Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
35 Et le peuple se tenait là regardant; et les Gouverneurs aussi se moquaient de lui avec eux, disant: il a sauvé les autres, qu'il se sauve lui-même, s'il est le Christ, l'élu de Dieu.
Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
36 Les soldats aussi se moquaient de lui, s'approchant, et lui présentant du vinaigre;
The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
37 Et disant: si tu es le Roi des Juifs, sauve-toi toi-même.
They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 Or il y avait au-dessus de lui un écriteau en lettres Grecques, et Romaines, et Hébraïques, [en ces mots]: CELUI-CI EST LE ROI DES JUIFS.
[They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
39 Et l'un des malfaiteurs qui étaient pendus, l'outrageait, disant: si tu es le Christ, sauve-toi toi-même, et nous aussi.
One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
40 Mais l'autre prenant la parole le censurait fortement, disant: au moins ne crains-tu point Dieu, puisque tu es dans la même condamnation?
But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
41 Et pour nous, nous y sommes justement: car nous recevons des choses dignes de nos crimes, mais celui-ci n'a rien fait qui ne se dût faire.
They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
42 Puis il disait à Jésus: Seigneur! souviens-toi de moi quand tu viendras en ton Règne.
Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
43 Et Jésus lui dit: en vérité je te dis, qu'aujourd'hui tu seras avec moi en paradis.
Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
44 Or il était environ six heures, et il se fit des ténèbres par tout le pays jusqu'à neuf heures;
[Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
45 Et le soleil fut obscurci, et le voile du Temple se déchira par le milieu.
There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
46 Et Jésus criant à haute voix, dit: Père, je remets mon esprit entre tes mains! Et ayant dit cela, il rendit l'esprit.
[As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
47 Or le Centenier voyant ce qui était arrivé, glorifia Dieu, disant: certes cet homme était juste.
When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
48 Et toutes les troupes qui s'étaient assemblées à ce spectacle, voyant les choses qui étaient arrivées, s'en retournaient frappant leurs poitrines.
When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
49 Et tous ceux de sa connaissance, et les femmes qui l'avaient suivi de Galilée, se tenaient loin, regardant ces choses.
All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
50 Et voici un personnage appelé Joseph, Conseiller, homme de bien, et juste,
There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
51 Qui n'avait point consenti à leur résolution, ni à leur action, [lequel était] d'Arimathée ville des Juifs, [et] qui aussi attendait le Règne de Dieu;
But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
52 Etant venu à Pilate, lui demanda le corps de Jésus.
He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
53 Et l'ayant descendu [de la croix], il l'enveloppa dans un linceul, et le mit en un sépulcre taillé dans le roc, où personne n'avait encore été mis.
he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
54 Or c'était le jour de la préparation, et le [jour] du Sabbat allait commencer.
[They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
55 Et les femmes qui étaient venues de Galilée avec Jésus, ayant suivi [Joseph], regardèrent le sépulcre, et comment le corps de Jésus y était mis.
The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
56 Puis s'en étant retournées, elles préparèrent des drogues aromatiques et des parfums; et le jour du Sabbat elles se reposèrent selon le commandement [de la Loi].
Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
