Marc 16
1 Lorsque le sabbat fut passé, Marie-Madeleine, et Marie, mère de Jacques, et Salomé, achetèrent des parfums pour venir embaumer Jésus.
[On Saturday evening] when (the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest) had ended, Mary [from] Magdala, Mary the mother of the [younger] James, and Salome bought fragrant ointment. [The Jews had a custom of] anointing bodies [before they buried them, and the women wanted to follow this custom].
2 Ainsi parties de grand matin, le premier jour de la semaine, elles arrivèrent au sépulcre, le soleil étant déjà levé.
So very early on Sunday, [just after] the sun rose, they [took the fragrant ointment] and started toward the tomb.
3 Or elles se disaient l’une à l’autre: Qui nous ôtera la pierre de l’entrée du sépulcre?
[While they were going there], they were saying to each other, “Who will roll away for us the stone [that blocks] the entrance of the tomb?”
4 Mais regardant elles virent la pierre ôtée; or elle était fort grande.
[After they arrived], they looked up and saw that the stone had [already] been rolled away {that someone had [already] rolled away the stone}. [They were surprised because it] would have been difficult to move such a huge stone.
5 Et entrant dans le sépulcre, elles aperçurent un jeune homme assis à droite, vêtu d’une robe blanche, et elles furent frappées d’étonnement.
They entered the tomb and saw [an angel who looked like] a young man. He was sitting at the right side [of the cave]. He was wearing a [shining] white robe. As a result, they were astonished.
6 Il leur dit: Ne craignez point; c’est Jésus de Nazareth, le crucifié, que vous cherchez; il est ressuscité, il n’est point ici; voilà le lieu où on l’avait mis.
The young man said to them, “Do not be astonished! I [know that] you are looking for Jesus, the man from Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross {whom they nailed to a cross}. But he has become alive again! He is not here! Look! [Here is] the place where they placed his [body].
7 Mais allez, dites à ses disciples et à Pierre qu’il va devant vous en Galilée; c’est là que vous le verrez, comme il vous l’a dit.
But, instead [of remaining here], go and tell his disciples. Particularly [be sure] that you tell Peter. Tell them, ‘[Jesus] is going ahead of you to Galilee [district], and you will see him there, just like he told you [previously’]!”
8 Mais elles, sortant du sépulcre, s’enfuirent, car le tremblement et la peur les avait saisies; et elles ne dirent rien à personne, tant elles étaient effrayées.
The women went outside and ran from the tomb. They were trembling [because they were afraid], and they were astonished. But they did not say anything to anyone [about this] while they were going, because they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Or Jésus étant ressuscité le matin, au premier jour de la semaine, il apparut premièrement à Marie-Madeleine, de laquelle il avait chassé sept démons.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) [When Jesus became alive [again] early on Sunday morning, he appeared first to Mary [from] Magdala [town]. She was the woman from whom he had [previously] expelled seven evil spirits.
10 Et elle alla l’annoncer à ceux qui avaient été avec lui, et qui s’affligeaient et pleuraient.
She went to those who had been with [Jesus], while they were mourning and crying. She told them [what she had seen].
11 Mais eux entendant dire qu’il vivait et qu’il avait été vu par elle, ne le crurent pas.
But when she told them that Jesus was alive again and that she had seen him, they refused to believe it.
12 Il se montra ensuite sous une autre forme, à deux d’entre eux, qui étaient en chemin et qui allaient à une maison de campagne;
Later [that day], Jesus appeared to two of [his disciples] while they were walking [from Jerusalem to their homes in] the [surrounding] area. [But they did not recognize him quickly because] he looked very different.
13 Et ceux-ci allèrent l’annoncer aux autres; mais ils ne les crurent pas non plus.
[After they recognized him], those two went back [to Jerusalem. They told his other followers what had happened], but they did not believe it.
14 Enfin il apparut aux onze lorsqu’ils étaient à table, et il leur reprocha leur incrédulité et la dureté de leur cœur, parce qu’ils n’avaient pas cru ceux qui avaient vu qu’il était ressuscité.
Later he appeared to the eleven [apostles] while they were eating. He rebuked them because they had stubbornly refused to believe [the reports of] those who saw him after he had become alive again.
15 Et il leur dit: Allez dans tout l’univers, et prêchez l’Evangile à toute créature.
[Later] he said to them, “Go into the whole world and preach the good message to everyone!
16 Celui qui croira et sera baptisé sera sauvé: mais celui qui ne croira pas sera condamné.
Everyone who believes [your message] and who is baptized will be saved {[God] will save}. But everyone who does not believe it will be condemned {[God] will condemn}.
17 Or voici les prodiges qui accompagneront ceux qui auront cru: ils chasseront les démons en mon nom; ils parleront des langues nouvelles;
Those who believe [my good message] will perform miracles. Specifically, by my power they will expel evil spirits. They will speak in languages that they have not learned.
18 Ils prendront les serpents, et s’ils boivent quelque poison mortel, il ne leur nuira point; ils imposeront les mains sur les malades, et ils seront guéris.
If they pick up snakes [accidentally] or if they drink any poisonous [liquid accidentally], they will not be hurt. [Whenever] they put their hands on sick [people in order that God will heal them], those sick people will become well.”
19 Et le Seigneur Jésus, après leur avoir parlé, fut élevé dans le ciel, où il est assis à la droite de Dieu.
After the Lord Jesus had said this to [the disciples, he was taken] {[God] took him} up into heaven. Then he sat down on his throne beside God [to rule with him].
20 Et eux, étant partis, prêchèrent partout, le Seigneur coopérant avec eux, et confirmant leur parole par les miracles qui raccompagnaient.
[As for the disciples], they went out [from Jerusalem, and then they preached everywhere. Wherever they went], the Lord enabled them to perform miracles. [By doing that], he showed people that God’s message is true.
