Évangile selon Matthieu 14

JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 En ce temps-là, la renommée de Jésus parvint aux oreilles d'Hérode le tétrarque,	1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 qui dit à ses serviteurs: "Celui-là est Jean le Baptiste! Le voilà ressuscité des morts: d'où lespouvoirs miraculeux qui se déploient en sa personne!"	2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3 C'est qu'en effet Hérode avait fait arrêter, enchaîner et emprisonner Jean, à cause d'Hérodiade, lafemme de Philippe son frère.	3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
4 Car Jean lui disait: "Il ne t'est pas permis de l'avoir."	4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 Il avait même voulu le tuer, mais avait craint la foule, parce qu'on le tenait pour un prophète.	5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Or, comme Hérode célébrait son anniversaire de naissance, la fille d'Hérodiade dansa en public etplut à Hérode	6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 au point qu'il s'engagea par serment à lui donner ce qu'elle demanderait.	7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 Endoctrinée par sa mère, elle lui dit: "Donne-moi ici, sur un plat, la tête de Jean le Baptiste."	8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
9 Le roi fut contristé, mais, à cause de ses serments et des convives, il commanda de la lui donner	9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10 et envoya décapiter Jean dans la prison.	10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 Sa tête fut apportée sur un plat et donnée à la jeune fille, qui la porta à sa mère.	11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12 Les disciples de Jean vinrent prendre le cadavre et l'enterrèrent; puis ils allèrent informer Jésus.	12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 L'ayant appris, Jésus se retira en barque dans un lieu désert, à l'écart; ce qu'apprenant, les foulespartirent à sa suite, venant à pied des villes.	13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 En débarquant, il vit une foule nombreuse et il en eut pitié; et il guérit leurs infirmes.	14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
15 Le soir venu, les disciples s'approchèrent et lui dirent: "L'endroit est désert et l'heure est déjàpassée; renvoie donc les foules afin qu'elles aillent dans les villages s'acheter de la nourriture."	15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16 Mais Jésus leur dit: "Il n'est pas besoin qu'elles y aillent; donnez-leur vous-mêmes à manger" --	16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 "Mais, lui disent-ils, nous n'avons ici que cinq pains et deux poissons." Il dit:	17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 "Apportez-les moi ici."	18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
19 Et, ayant donné l'ordre de faire étendre les foules sur l'herbe, il prit les cinq pains et les deuxpoissons, leva les yeux au ciel, bénit, puis, rompant les pains, il les donna aux disciples, qui les donnèrent auxfoules.	19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 Tous mangèrent et furent rassasiés, et l'on emporta le reste des morceaux: douze pleins couffins!	20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 Or ceux qui mangèrent étaient environ 5.000 hommes, sans compter les femmes et les enfants.	21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
22 Et aussitôt il obligea les disciples à monter dans la barque et à le devancer sur l'autre rive,pendant qu'il renverrait les foules.	22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 Et quand il eut renvoyé les foules, il gravit la montagne, à l'écart, pour prier. Le soir venu, ilétait là, seul.	23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 La barque, elle, se trouvait déjà éloignée de la terre de plusieurs stades, harcelée par les vagues,car le vent était contraire.	24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 A la quatrième veille de la nuit, il vint vers eux en marchant sur la mer.	25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 Les disciples, le voyant marcher sur la mer, furent troublés: "C'est un fantôme", disaient-ils, etpris de peur ils se mirent à crier.	26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 Mais aussitôt Jésus leur parla en disant: "Ayez confiance, c'est moi, soyez sans crainte."	27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 Sur quoi, Pierre lui répondit: "Seigneur, si c'est bien toi, donne-moi l'ordre de venir à toi sur leseaux" --	28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 "Viens", dit Jésus. Et Pierre, descendant de la barque, se mit à marcher sur les eaux et vint versJésus.	29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 Mais, voyant le vent, il prit peur et, commençant à couler, il s'écria: "Seigneur, sauve-moi!"	30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 Aussitôt Jésus tendit la main et le saisit, en lui disant: "Homme de peu de foi, pourquoi as-tudouté?"	31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 Et quand ils furent montés dans la barque, le vent tomba.	32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Ceux qui étaient dans la barque se prosternèrent devant lui, en disant: "Vraiment, tu es Fils deDieu!"	33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34 Ayant achevé la traversée, ils touchèrent terre à Gennésaret.	34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 Les gens de l'endroit, l'ayant reconnu, mandèrent la nouvelle à tout le voisinage, et on luiprésenta tous les malades:	35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36 on le priait de les laisser simplement toucher la frange de son manteau, et tous ceux quitouchèrent furent sauvés.	36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
