Marc 8
1 En ces jours-là, Jésus, se trouvant avec une foule immense qui n'avait pas de quoi manger, appela ses disciples et leur dit:
During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
2 J'ai compassion de cette foule, car voilà déjà trois jours que ces gens restent près de moi, et ils n'ont pas de quoi manger.
“This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
3 Si je les renvoie chez eux à jeun, ils défailliront en route, car quelques-uns d'entre eux viennent de loin.
Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
4 Ses disciples lui répondirent: «où pourrait-on trouver, ici, dans un désert, des pains pour nourrir ces gens?»
[Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
5 Jésus leur demanda: «Combien de pains avez-vous?» — «Sept, » dirent-ils.
Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
6 Alors il fit asseoir la foule par terre, puis il prit les sept pains, et, ayant rendu grâces, il les rompit, et les donna à ses disciples pour les distribuer et les disciples les distribuèrent à la foule.
Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
7 Ils avaient encore quelques petits poissons, et Jésus, ayant prononcé la bénédiction, les fit aussi distribuer.
[They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
8 Ils mangèrent et furent rassasiés, et l’on emporta sept corbeilles pleines des morceaux qui restaient.
the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
9 Il y avait environ quatre mille personnes. Ensuite Jésus les renvoya.
[They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
10 Aussitôt après, il entra dans la barque avec ses disciples, et s'en alla dans le territoire de Dalmanutha.
Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
11 Les pharisiens vinrent et se mirent à discuter avec Jésus, lui demandant, pour le mettre à l'épreuve, un signe qui vînt du ciel.
[In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
12 Et Jésus, ayant poussé un profond soupir en son coeur, dit: «Pourquoi cette génération réclame-t-elle un signe? En vérité, je vous le dis, non, il ne sera point accordé de signe à cette génération.»
Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
13 Là-dessus, il les quitta et se rembarqua pour passer à l'autre bord.
Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
14 Les disciples avaient oublié de prendre des pains; ils n'en avaient qu'un seul avec eux dans la barque.
The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
15 Et comme Jésus leur faisait des recommandations, disant: «Faites attention, gardez-vous du levain des pharisiens, ainsi que du levain d'Hérode, »
[As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
16 ils raisonnaient ainsi entre eux: «C'est que nous n'avons pas de pains.»
[The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
17 Jésus s'en étant aperçu, leur dit: «Quelle idée avez-vous? C'est que vous n'avez pas de pains! Vous ne saisissez pas encore, vous ne comprenez pas? Avez-vous l'intelligence obtuse?
Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
18 Puisque vous avez des yeux, ne voyez- vous pas, et, puisque vous avez des oreilles, n'entendez-vous pas? N'avez-vous point de mémoire?
(I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
19 Quand j'ai rompu les cinq pains pour les cinq mille hommes, combien avez-vous emporté de corbeilles pleines de morceaux?» — «Douze, » lui dirent-ils.
when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
20 «Et quand j’ai rompu les sept pains pour les quatre mille hommes, combien avez-vous emporté de corbeilles pleines de morceaux?» - «Sept, » lui répondirent-ils. —
Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
21 «Eh bien! leur dit-il, vous ne comprenez pas encore?»
Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
22 Et ils arrivèrent à Bethsaïde. On lui amena un aveugle, et on le pria de le toucher.
They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
23 Jésus, prenant l'aveugle par la main, l'emmena hors du village; et, après lui avoir mis de la salive sur les yeux, il lui imposa les mains, et lui demanda s'il voyait quelque chose.
Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24 L'aveugle, ayant ouvert les yeux, dit: «Je vois des hommes, car je les aperçois marcher comme si c'étaient des arbres.»
The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
25 Jésus lui mit une seconde fois les mains sur les yeux, et l'aveugle, ayant regardé fixement, fut complètement guéri: il voyait tous les objets avec netteté.
Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
26 Jésus le renvoya dans sa maison, en lui disant: «Ne rentre pas dans le village, et n'y parle à personne de ce qui est arrivé.»
Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
27 Jésus s'en alla avec ses disciples dans les villages de Césarée de Philippe, et, chemin faisant, il leur adressa cette question: «Qui dit-on que je suis?»
Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
28 Ils lui répondirent: «On dit que tu es Jean-Baptiste; d'autres disent que tu es Elie, mais d'autres prétendent que tu es quelqu'un des prophètes.» —
They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
29 «Et vous, leur demanda-t-il, qui dites-vous que je suis?» Pierre lui répondit: «Tu es le Messie.»
He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
30 Jésus leur recommanda sévèrement de ne parler de lui à personne,
Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
31 et il commença à leur apprendre qu'il fallait que le Fils de l'homme souffrît beaucoup, qu'il fût rejeté par les anciens, par les principaux sacrificateurs et par les scribes, qu'il fût mis à mort, et qu'il ressuscitât trois jours après:
Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
32 il s'exprimait ouvertement. Pierre, le prenant à part, se mit à le reprendre.
He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
33 Mais Jésus, s'étant retourné, et ayant regardé ses disciples, réprimanda Pierre, et lui dit: «Arrière de moi, Satan, car tes sentiments ne sont pas ceux de Dieu, mais ceux des hommes.»
Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
34 Puis, ayant appelé la foule, ainsi que ses disciples, il leur dit: «Si quelqu'un veut venir après moi, qu'il renonce à lui-même, qu'il se charge de sa croix, et qu'il me suive.
Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
35 Car celui qui veut sauver sa vie, la perdra; mais celui qui perdra sa vie à cause de moi et de l'évangile, la sauvera.
[You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
36 Que servira-t-il à l'homme de gagner le monde entier, s'il perd son âme?
People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
37 Car que donnera un homme pour recouvrer son âme?
([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
38 En effet, si quelqu'un a honte de moi et de mes paroles au milieu de cette génération adultère et pécheresse, le Fils de l'homme aura aussi honte de lui, quand il viendra dans la gloire de son Père avec les saints anges.
And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
