Luc 4
1 Jésus, plein de l’Esprit-Saint, revint du Jourdain; et il était conduit par l’Esprit dans le désert
As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
2 Pendant quarante jours, et il était tenté par le diable. Durant ces jours il ne mangea rien, et après qu’ils furent passés, il eut faim.
For 40 days the Spirit led him around in the desolate area. During that time Jesus was being tempted by the devil {the devil was tempting him}, and Jesus did not eat anything. When that time ended, he was [very] hungry.
3 Or le diable lui dit: Si vous êtes le Fils de Dieu, dites à cette pierre qu’elle devienne du pain.
Then the devil said to Jesus, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with] God as a son [has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] telling these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 Jésus lui répondit: Il est écrit: L’homme ne vit pas seulement de pain, mais de toute parole de Dieu.
Jesus replied, “[No, I will not change stones into bread, because it is written] {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] that [eating] food sustains people physically, but it does not [sustain them spiritually. They also need food for their spirits].”
5 Alors le diable le conduisit sur une haute montagne, et il lui montra en un instant tous les royaumes de la terre;
Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
6 Puis il lui dit: Je vous donnerai toute cette puissance et toute la gloire de ces royaumes: car ils m’ont été livrés, et je les donne à qui je veux.
Then he said to [Jesus], “I will give you the authority [to rule] all these areas and will make you famous. [I can do this] because [God] has permitted me [to control these areas], and I can allow anyone I desire to rule them!
7 Si donc vous m’adorez, ils seront tous à vous.
So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
8 Et Jésus répondant, lui dit: Il est écrit: Tu adoreras le Seigneur ton Dieu, et tu ne serviras que lui seul.
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [worship you, because] it is written {[the Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘It is the Lord, your God, whom you must worship, and you must serve only him!’”
9 il le conduisit ensuite à Jérusalem, le posa sur le haut du temple et lui dit: Si vous êtes le Fils de Dieu, jetez-vous d’ici en bas.
Then the devil took [Jesus] to Jerusalem. He set him on the highest part of the Temple and said to him, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with God as a son has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] jumping down from here.
10 Car il est écrit qu’il a ordonné à ses anges de vous garder;
[You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].
11 Et qu’ils vous porteront en leurs mains, de peur que vous ne heurtiez votre pied contre la pierre.
They will lift you up with their hands [when you are falling], so that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
12 Jésus répondant, lui dit: il a été dit: Tu ne tenteras point le Seigneur ton Dieu.
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [do that, because] it is written {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures]: ‘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]’.”
13 Or toute tentation achevée, le diable se retira de lui pour un temps.
Then, after the devil had finished trying to tempt [Jesus] in many ways, he left him. He wanted to try to tempt him later at an appropriate time.
14 Et Jésus retourna en Galilée, par la vertu de l’Esprit, et sa renommée se répandit dans tout le pays.
As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
15 Et il enseignait dans leurs synagogues, et il était exalté par tous.
He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
16 Il vint à Nazareth, où il avait été élevé, et il entra, suivant sa coutume, le jour du sabbat, dans la synagogue, et il se leva pour lire.
Then [Jesus] went to Nazareth, [the town] where he grew up. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) he went (to the synagogue/to the Jewish meeting place), as he usually did. He stood up [to indicate that he wanted] to read [Scriptures] to them.
17 On lui donna le livre du prophète Isaïe; et l’ayant déroulé, il trouva l’endroit où il était écrit:
A scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written] was given to him {[Someone] gave to him a scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written]}. He opened the scroll and found the place from which he [wanted to] read. [He read these words]:
18 L’Esprit du Seigneur est sur moi; c’est pourquoi il m’a consacré par son onction, et m’a envoyé pour évangéliser les pauvres, guérir ceux qui ont le cœur brisé,
The Spirit (of the Lord/of God) is upon me. He has appointed [MTY] me to declare God’s good news to the poor. He has sent me [here] to proclaim that God will deliver those whom [Satan] has captured, and he will [enable me to] enable those who are blind to see. He will enable me to free people who have been oppressed {whom [others] have oppressed}.
19 Annoncer aux captifs leur délivrance, aux aveugles le recouvrement de la vue, rendre à la liberté ceux qu’écrasent leurs fers, publier l’année salutaire du Seigneur, et le jour de la rétribution.
And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
20 Ayant replié le livre, il le rendit au ministre, et s’assit: Et tous, dans la synagogue, avaient les yeux attachés sur lui.
Then he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down [to teach the people]. Everyone in the synagogue was looking intently [MTY] at him.
21 Or il commença à leur dire: C’est aujourd’hui que cette Ecriture que vous venez d’entendre est accomplie.
He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
22 Et tous lui rendaient témoignage, et admirant les paroles de grâce qui sortaient de sa bouche, ils disaient: N’est-ce pas là le fils de Joseph?
[At first] everyone there spoke well about him, and they were amazed at the charming words that he spoke. [But then some of] them said, “(He is [only] Joseph’s son!/Isn’t he [only] Joseph’s son?) [RHQ] [So] ([it is useless for us(exc) to listen to what he says!/why should we(exc) listen to what he says]?) [RHQ]”
23 Alors il leur dit: Assurément vous m’appliquerez ce proverbe: Médecin, guéris-toi toi-même, et me direz: Ces grandes choses faites à Capharnaüm et dont nous avons ouï parler, fais-les ici dans ta patrie.
He said to them, “Surely [some of] you will quote to me the proverb that says, ‘Doctor, heal yourself!’ [What you will mean is], ‘People told us that you did miracles in Capernaum [town, but we(exc) do not know if those reports are true. So] do miracles here in your own hometown, too!’”
24 Et il ajouta: En vérité, je vous dis qu’aucun prophète n’est accueilli dans sa patrie.
Then he said, “It is certainly true that [people] do not accept [the message of] a prophet when he speaks in his hometown, [just like you(pl) are not accepting my message now].
25 Je vous le dis, en vérité, il y avait aux jours d’Elie beaucoup de veuves en Israël, lorsque le ciel fut fermé pendant trois ans et six mois, et qu’il y eut une grande famine sur toute la terre;
But think about this: There were many widows in Israel during the time when [the prophet] Elijah [lived. During that time], because of there being no rain [MTY] for three years and six months, there was a great famine throughout the country.
26 Et Elie ne fut envoyé à aucune d’elles, mais à une femme veuve, à Sarepta de Sidon.
But [God] did not send Elijah to [help] any of those [Jewish] widows. [God sent him] to Zarepath [town] near Sidon [city], to [help] a [non-Jewish] widow.
27 Et il y avait en Israël beaucoup de lépreux au temps du prophète Elisée, et aucun d’eux ne fut guéri, sinon Naaman le Syrien.
There were also many [Jewish] lepers in Israel during the time when the prophet Elisha [lived]. But [Elisha] did not heal any of them. He healed only Naaman, a [non-Jewish] man from Syria.”
28 En entendant ces paroles, ils furent tous remplis de colère dans la synagogue;
When all the people in the synagogue heard him say that, they were very angry, [because they realized that he was inferring that he similarly would help non-Jewish people instead of helping Jews] (OR, [that they also were not worthy of receiving God’s help]).
29 C’est pourquoi ils se levèrent, le jetèrent hors de la ville, et le menèrent au sommet du mont sur lequel leur ville était bâtie, pour l’en précipiter.
So they all got up and shoved him out of the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside their town in order to throw him off the cliff [and kill him].
30 Mais Jésus passant au milieu d’eux, s’en alla.
But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
31 Et il descendit à Capharnaüm, ville de Galilée, et là il les enseignait aux jours du sabbat.
[One day] Jesus went [with his disciples] down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee [district]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) (OR, Each (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest)), he taught the people ([in the synagogue/in the Jewish meeting place]).
32 Et ils s’étonnaient de sa doctrine, parce qu’il leur parlait avec autorité.
They were continually amazed at what he was teaching, because [he spoke] ([with authority/as people speak who have] the right to command others what to do).
33 Or il y avait dans la synagogue un homme ayant en lui un démon impur, et il cria d’une voix forte,
[That day], (OR, On one of those Jewish days of rest, ) there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. That man shouted very loudly,
34 Disant: Laissez-nous! Qu’importe à nous et à vous, Jésus de Nazareth? Êtes-vous venu pour nous perdre? Je sais qui vous êtes: le saint de Dieu.
“Hey! Jesus, from Nazareth! [We(exc) evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, so ([do not interfere with us now!/why should you interfere with us now]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now!]/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. You are the Holy One [who has come] from God!”
35 Et Jésus le gourmanda, disant: Tais-toi, et sors de cet homme. Et le démon l’ayant jeté à terre au milieu de l’assemblée, sortit de lui et ne lui fit aucun mal.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!” The demon threw the man down on the ground in the midst of the people. But without harming the man, the demon left him.
36 Et l’épouvante les saisit tous, et ils se parlaient entre eux, disant: Qu’est-ce que ceci: il commande avec puissance et force aux esprits impurs, et ils sortent?
The people were all amazed. They said to each other, “(What he says to the demons [has great power!/] [kind of] teaching is this?) [RHQ] He speaks to them like he knows that they must obey him, and as a result they leave people!”
37 Et sa renommée se répandit de tous côtés dans le pays.
The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
38 Etant sorti de la synagogue, Jésus entra dans la maison de Simon. Or la belle-mère de Simon avait une grosse fièvre; et ils le prièrent pour elle.
Jesus [and his disciples] left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) and entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick and had a high fever. So [others in Simon’s family] (OR, [the disciples]) asked Jesus to [heal] her.
39 Alors étant debout auprès d’elle, il commanda à la fièvre, et la fièvre la quitta. Et se levant aussitôt, elle les servait.
So he bent over her and commanded the fever to leave her. At once she became well! She got up and served them [some food].
40 Lorsque le soleil fut couché, tous ceux qui avaient des infirmes atteints de diverses maladies, les lui amenaient. Or Jésus, imposant les mains sur chacun d’eux, les guérissait.
When the sun was setting [that day, and the restriction about not traveling] (on [the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [was ended], many people [HYP] whose [friends or relatives] were sick or who had various diseases brought them to Jesus. He put his hands on them and healed [all of] them.
41 Et les démons sortaient d’un grand nombre, criant et disant: Vous êtes le fils de Dieu; et les gourmandant il ne leur permettait pas de dire qu’ils sussent qu’il était le Christ.
He also was [expelling demons] from many people. As the demons left those people, they shouted to Jesus, “You are (the Son of God/the one who is God and man)!” But he rebuked those demons and would not allow them to tell [people about him], because they knew that he was the Messiah, and [for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
42 Lorsqu’il fit jour, il sortit et s’en alla en un lieu désert, et la foule le cherchait; et ils vinrent à lui, et ils le retenaient, de peur qu’il ne les quittât.
[Early] the next morning [Jesus] left that house and went to an uninhabited place [to pray]. Many people searched for him, and when they found him they kept urging him not to leave them.
43 Il leur dit: Il faut que je prêche aux autres villes le royaume de Dieu, car c’est pour cela que j’ai été envoyé.
But he said to them, “I must tell [people] in other towns also the good message about how God wants to rule [MET] their lives, because that is what I was sent {[God] sent me} to do.”
44 Et il prêchait dans les synagogues de Galilée.
So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
