Marc 1
1 Commencement de l'évangile de Jésus-Christ fils de Dieu:
([This is/I want to tell you]) the good message about Jesus Christ, the Son of God (OR, the man who was also God). [What I want to tell you] begins just like the prophet Isaiah [said it would begin, when] he wrote [these words that God said to Jesus: ] Listen! I am sending my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare [people for] your [coming].
2 Selon qu'il est écrit dans le prophète: « Voici, J'envoie devant toi Mon messager, lequel frayera ton chemin,
3 Voix d'un crieur dans le désert: Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, redressez Ses sentiers,
He will call out to people [who pass by where he is] in the desolate area, “As people improve and straighten out pathways [before an important official arrives] [MET], make [yourselves] ready [DOU] [in order that you will be prepared when] the Lord [comes].”
4 Jean le baptiseur apparut dans le désert, prêchant un baptême de repentance pour la rémission des péchés.
[The messenger that Isaiah predicted was] John. [People called him] ‘The Baptizer’. In the desolate area near the Jordan River he kept telling people, “If you want God to forgive you for having sinned, you must turn away from your sinful behavior [before you ask me to] baptize [you].”
5 Et tout le pays de Judée et tous les Hiérosolymitains se portaient vers lui, et ils se faisaient baptiser par lui dans le fleuve du Jourdain.
A great number [HYP] of people who lived in Jerusalem [city] and [elsewhere] in the Judea [district] were going out to where John was. There, [after hearing John’s message], they [responded by] confessing the sinful things [that they had done]. Then they were being baptized by John {John was baptizing them} in the Jordan River.
6 Et Jean était vêtu de poils de chameau, et d'une ceinture de cuir autour des reins, et il se nourrissait de sauterelles et de miel sauvage.
John wore [rough] clothes made of camel’s hair. And [as the prophet Elijah had done], he wore a leather belt around his waist; and what he ate was [only] grasshoppers and honey [that he found] in that desolate area.
7 Et il prêchait en disant: « Il vient après moi, celui qui est plus puissant que moi, et je ne suis pas digne de délier en me baissant la courroie de ses sandales;
He was preaching, “Very shortly a man will come who is very great. I [am nothing compared to him. Because he is so superior to me], I am not even worthy to [serve him like a slave] by stooping down and untying his sandals.
8 pour moi je vous ai baptisés d'eau, mais lui vous baptisera d'esprit saint. »
I used [only] water when I baptized you [because you said that you wanted to change your lives], but he will put his Holy Spirit [within] you [to truly change your lives].”
9 Il advint en ce temps-là que Jésus vint de Nazaret de Galilée, et se fit baptiser dans le Jourdain par Jean.
During that time [when John was preaching], Jesus came from Nazareth [town], which is in Galilee [district]. He went to [where John was preaching] and he was baptized by John {John baptized him} in the Jordan [River].
10 Et au moment où il sortait de l'eau il vit les cieux s'entr'ouvrir et l'esprit comme une colombe descendre vers lui;
Immediately after [Jesus] came up out of the water, he saw heaven opened up [and he saw] the Spirit [of God] descending on himself. He came in the form of a dove.
11 et une voix vint des cieux: « Tu es Mon fils bien-aimé, en toi J'ai pris plaisir. »
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Et aussitôt l'esprit le pousse au désert.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Et il était dans le désert pendant quarante jours tenté par Satan, et il était avec les bêtes, et les anges le servaient.
He was there for 40 days. During that time, he was tempted by Satan {Satan tempted him}. There were wild animals [there] also. But angels took care of him.
14 Et après que Jean eut été livré, Jésus vint en Galilée, prêchant l'évangile de Dieu,
Later, after John was put in prison {after [soldiers] put John in prison} [because he had rebuked the governor Herod Antipas for his sins], Jesus went to Galilee [district]. There he was preaching the good message [that came] from God.
15 et disant: « Le temps est accompli, et le royaume de Dieu s'approche; repentez-vous et croyez à l'évangile. »
He was repeatedly saying, “Now is the time when God will begin to rule people’s lives [in a new way]. [So] turn away from your sinful behavior! Believe the good message [in order] ([to belong to him/to become those whose lives he will rule])!”
16 Et en passant le long de la mer de Galilée il vit Simon, et André le frère de Simon, qui pêchaient au filet dans la mer, car ils étaient pêcheurs;
[One day], while Jesus was walking along by Galilee Lake, he saw [two men], Simon and Simon’s [younger] brother, Andrew. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake. They [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
17 et Jésus leur dit: « Marchez après moi, et je vous ferai devenir des pêcheurs d'hommes. »
Then Jesus 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].
18 Et ayant aussitôt quitté leurs filets, ils le suivaient.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Et ayant un peu continué sa route, il vit Jacques le fils de Zébédée et Jean son frère, qui, eux aussi arrangeaient, leurs filets dans leur barque.
After they had gone on a little further, Jesus saw [two other men], James and James’ [younger] brother, John. They were the sons of [a man named] Zebedee. They were both in a boat mending [fishing] nets.
20 Et aussitôt il les appela; et ayant laissé leur père Zébédée dans la barque avec les mercenaires, ils s'en allèrent après, lui.
As soon as Jesus saw them, he told them that [they should leave their work and to come with him]. So they left their father, [who remained] in the boat with the hired servants, and they went away with Jesus.
21 Et il entrait à Capharnaoum, et étant aussitôt entré le jour du sabbat dans la synagogue; il enseignait;
[Later] Jesus [and those disciples] arrived at Capernaum [town]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish rest day), after Jesus had entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), he began teaching [the people who had gathered there].
22 et ils étaient stupéfaits de son enseignement, car il les enseignait comme ayant autorité, et non pas comme les scribes.
They were continually amazed at the way he taught. [He did] not [just teach what others had taught], like the men who teach the [Jewish] laws did. [They habitually just repeated what other people had taught]. Instead, he taught with [his own] authority.
23 Et il se trouvait aussitôt dans leur synagogue un homme possédé d'un esprit impur, et il s'écria:
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 « Que nous veux-tu, toi aussi, Jésus Nazarénien? Es-tu venu pour nous faire périr? Je sais qui tu es: le saint de Dieu. »
“Jesus, from Nazareth [town, since] we [evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, ([do not interfere with us]!/what do you want with us [evil spirits]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now]!/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. I know that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
25 Et Jésus le réprimanda, en-disant: « Tais-toi, et sors de lui. »
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Et l'impur, après l'avoir jeté en de violentes convulsions et avoir poussé de grands cris, sortit de lui.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Et ils étaient tous dans l'épouvante, en sorte qu'ils discutaient en disant: « Qu'est-ce que ceci? Enseignement étrange! Il commande avec autorité même aux esprits impurs, et ils lui obéissent! »
All [the people who were there] were amazed. As a result, they discussed this among themselves, [exclaiming], “(This is [amazing]!/What is this?) [RHQ] Not only does he teach in a new and authoritative way, but also the evil spirits obey him [when] he commands [them]!”
28 Et sa renommée se répandit aussitôt de tous côtés, dans toute la contrée voisine de la Galilée.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Et aussitôt étant sorti de la synagogue, il entra dans la maison de Simon et d'André avec Jacques et Jean.
After they left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), [Jesus, Simon and Andrew], along with James and John went directly to Simon and Andrew’s house.
30 Or la belle-mère de Simon était couchée ayant la fièvre; et aussitôt ils lui parlent d'elle;
Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
31 et s'étant approché il la fit lever en la prenant par la main; et la fièvre la quitta, et elle les servait.
He went to her, and helped her up by taking hold of her hand. She recovered [at once] from the fever, and then she [got up and] served them [some food].
32 Or, quand le soir fut venu, lorsque le soleil fut couché, on lui apportait tous les malades et les démoniaques;
That evening, after the sun had gone down [and restrictions about travel on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [were ended], some people brought to Jesus many people who were sick and others whose lives evil spirits were controlling.
33 et la ville entière était rassemblée devant la porte.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Et il guérit plusieurs malades atteints de diverses maladies, et il chassa plusieurs démons, et il ne permettait pas aux démons de parler, parce qu'ils savaient qu'il était le Christ.
Jesus healed many people who were ill with various diseases. He also expelled many demons [from people]. He did not allow the demons to tell people [about him], because they knew that he [had come from God, and for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
35 Et sur le matin, pendant qu'il faisait très sombre, il sortit, après s'être levé, pour se rendre dans un lieu désert, et là il priait.
Jesus got up very early [the next morning] while it was still dark. He left [the house] and went away [from the town] to a place where there were no people. Then he prayed there.
36 Et Simon et ceux qui étaient avec lui se mirent à sa poursuite,
Simon and his companions searched for him. When they found him, [wanting him to go back to town to help other people], they said to him,
37 et ils le trouvèrent, et ils lui disent: « Tous te cherchent. »
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Et il leur dit: « Allons ailleurs dans les bourgades suivantes, afin que j'y prêche aussi, car c'est pour cela que je suis sorti. »
He said to them, “[No], let’s go on to the neighboring towns in order that I can preach there also, because the reason that I came [into the world] was to [preach to people] in many places!”
39 Et il parcourut toute la Galilée, prêchant dans leurs synagogues, et expulsant les démons.
So they went throughout Galilee [district. As they did so, each (Sabbath/Jewish rest day]) he preached in (synagogues/Jewish meeting places). He was also expelling evil spirits [from people].
40 Et un lépreux vient à lui, qui le sollicitait en lui disant: « Seigneur!… car, si tu le veux, tu peux me guérir. »
[One day] a man who had [a bad skin disease called] leprosy came to Jesus. He knelt down in front of Jesus and then he pleaded with him saying, “[Please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you want to!”
41 Et étant ému de compassion, il le toucha en étendant la main, et il lui dit: « Je le veux, soit guéri. »
Jesus felt very sorry for him. [So he ignored the religious laws about coming close to people who had that disease]. He reached out his hand and touched the man. Then he said to him, “Since I am willing [to heal you], be healed {I heal you} [now]!”
42 Et aussitôt la lèpre le quitta et il fut guéri.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Et l'ayant vertement tancé, il le renvoya immédiatement,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 et il lui dit: « Garde-toi d'en rien dire à personne; mais va, montre-toi au prêtre et présente pour ta purification ce qu'a prescrit Moïse pour leur servir d'attestation. »
What Jesus said was, “Go to a local priest and show yourself to him [in order that he may examine you and verify that you are healed]. Then, [after the priest tells the local people], they will know [that you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that you do not tell others [about what happened] Then go to [Jerusalem and take to the priest what Moses commanded that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer, in order that he] may offer it [as a sacrifice to God].”
45 Mais, quand l'autre fut sorti, il se mit à beaucoup parler et à divulguer l'affaire, en sorte qu'il ne pouvait plus entrer publiquement dans aucune ville, mais il se tenait au dehors dans des lieux déserts, et on venait à lui de partout.
The man went [and presented himself to the priest. But then] he began to tell many people about [how Jesus had healed him] [DOU]. As a result, Jesus was no longer able to enter any town publicly [because the crowds would surround him]. Instead, he remained outside [the towns] in places [where no people lived]. But people kept coming to him from all over that region.
