Luc 10
1 Après cela, Jésus désigna encore soixante-dix autres disciples, et les envoya devant lui, deux à deux, dans toutes les villes et dans tous les lieux, où lui-même devait aller.
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
2 Et il leur dit: «La moisson est grande, mais il y a peu d'ouvriers; priez donc le maître de la moisson d'envoyer des ouvriers dans sa moisson.
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 Allez, je vous envoie comme des agneaux au milieu des loups.
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 Ne prenez ni bourse, ni sac, ni sandales, et ne saluez personne en chemin.
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 Dans quelque maison que vous entriez, dites d'abord:
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 «Que la paix soit sur cette maison!» et s'il se trouve là quelque enfant de paix, la paix que vous aurez souhaitée reposera sur lui; sinon, elle reviendra à vous.
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
7 Demeurez dans cette même maison, mangez et buvez ce qu'on vous donnera; car l'ouvrier mérite son salaire. Ne passez point d'une maison dans une autre.
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
8 Dans quelque ville que vous entriez, si l'on vous reçoit, mangez ce qu'on vous servira;
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 guérissez les malades qui s'y trouveront, et dites aux habitants: «Le royaume de Dieu est proche de vous.»
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 Dans quelque ville que vous entriez, si l’on ne vous reçoit pas, allez dans les rues, et dites:
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
11 «Nous secouons de nos pieds, pour vous la rendre, même la poussière qui s'y est attachée dans votre ville; pourtant, sachez-le bien, le royaume de Dieu est proche.»
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 Je vous déclare qu'au dernier jour, Sodome sera traitée moins rigoureusement que cette ville-là.
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
13 Malheur à toi, Chorazin! Malheur à toi Bethsaïde! car si les miracles qui ont été faits au milieu de vous avaient été faits dans Tyr et dans Sidon, il y a longtemps qu'elles se seraient repenties sous le sac et la cendre.
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 Mais au jour du jugement Tyr et Sidon seront traitées moins rigoureusement que vous.
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
15 Et toi, Capernaoum, qui as été élevée jusqu'au ciel, tu seras abaissée jusqu'aux enfers. (Hadēs g86)
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
16 Qui vous écoute, m'écoute; qui vous rejette, me rejette; et qui me rejette, rejette celui qui m'a envoyé.»
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 Les soixante et dix disciples revinrent pleins de joie, disant: «Seigneur, les démons mêmes se soumettent à nous en ton nom!»
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 Il leur dit: «Je voyais Satan tomber du ciel comme un éclair.
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
19 Je vous ai donné le pouvoir de fouler aux pieds les serpents et les scorpions, et toutes les forces de l'ennemi, sans qu'elles puissent aucunement vous nuire;
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
20 seulement ne vous réjouissez pas de ce que les esprits se soumettent à vous, mais réjouissez-vous de ce que vos noms sont écrits dans les cieux.»
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
21 En ce moment même, Jésus tressaillit de joie en son esprit, et dit: «Je te loue, Père, Seigneur du ciel et de la terre, de ce que tu as caché ces choses aux sages et aux intelligents, et de ce que tu les as révélées aux enfants; oui, Père, je te loue de ce que tel a été ton bon plaisir.»
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
22 Et se tournant vers ses disciples, il dit: «Toutes choses m'ont été enseignées par mon Père; et personne ne connaît ce qu'est le Fils, que le Père, ni ce qu'est le Père, que le Fils, et que celui à qui le Fils le veut bien révéler.»
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 Puis se tournant vers ses disciples, il leur dit en particulier: «Heureux les yeux qui voient ce que vous voyez!
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
24 Car je vous dis que beaucoup de prophètes et de rois ont désiré de voir ce que vous voyez, et ne l'ont pas vu; d'entendre ce que vous entendez, et ne l'ont pas entendu.»
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
25 Un docteur de la Loi, qui voulait mettre Jésus à l'épreuve, se leva et lui dit: «Maître, que faut-il que je fasse pour obtenir la vie éternelle?» (aiōnios g166)
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Jésus lui répondit: «Que dit la Loi? Qu'y lis-tu?»
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
27 Il repartit: «Tu aimeras le Seigneur ton Dieu de tout ton coeur, de toute ton âme, de toute ta force et de toute ta pensée; et ton prochain comme toi-même.»
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 Jésus lui dit: «Tu as bien répondu: fais cela, et tu vivras.»
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 Cet homme voulant se justifier lui-même, dit à Jésus: «Et qui est mon prochain?»
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
30 Jésus reprit: «Un homme, qui descendait de Jérusalem à Jéricho, tomba au milieu des voleurs: ils le dépouillèrent, le chargèrent de coups, et s'en allèrent, le laissant à demi mort.
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 Un sacrificateur, qui par hasard descendait par ce chemin, ayant vu ce malheureux, passa devant lui sans s'arrêter.
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 De même, un lévite, étant arrivé dans cet endroit, s'avança, et l'ayant vu, passa devant lui sans s'arrêter.
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 Mais un Samaritain, qui voyageait, étant venu dans ce lieu, et ayant vu cet homme, fut touché de compassion.
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
34 Il s'approcha, banda ses blessures, après y avoir versé de l'huile et du vin; puis, l'ayant mis sur sa propre monture, il le mena dans une hôtellerie et prit soin de lui.
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
35 Le lendemain matin, en partant, il tira de sa bourse deux deniers, les donna à l'hôte, et dit: «Aie soin de lui, et, ce que tu dépenseras de plus, je te le rendrai à mon retour.»
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 Lequel des trois te semble avoir été le prochain de celui qui était tombé au milieu des voleurs.»
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 Il dit: «C'est celui qui a exercé la miséricorde envers lui.» Jésus lui dit: «Va, et fais de même.»
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 Pendant qu'il était en route avec ses disciples, il entra dans un village; une femme, nommée Marthe, le reçut dans sa maison.
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 Elle avait une soeur, nommée Marie, qui, s'étant assise aux pieds de Jésus, écoutait sa parole,
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 tandis qu'elle-même était distraite par les soins nombreux du ménage. Marthe s'étant approchée, dit à Jésus: «Seigneur, ne vois-tu pas que ma soeur me laisse toute la tâche? Dis-lui donc de m'aider.»
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 Mais il lui répondit: «Marthe, Marthe, tu t'inquiètes et tu t'agites pour beaucoup de choses; une seule chose est nécessaire.
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 Marie a choisi la bonne part, qui ne lui sera point ôtée.»
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
