Évangile selon Marc 7

JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Les Pharisiens et quelques scribes venus de Jérusalem se rassemblent auprès de lui,	1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, arriving from Jerusalem, gathered together before him.
2 et voyant quelques-uns de ses disciples prendre leur repas avec des mains impures, c'est-à-dire nonlavées --	2 And when they had seen certain ones from his disciples eating bread with common hands, that is, with unwashed hands, they disparaged them.
3 les Pharisiens, en effet, et tous les Juifs ne mangent pas sans s'être lavé les bras jusqu'au coude,conformément à la tradition des anciens,	3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat without repeatedly washing their hands, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4 et ils ne mangent pas au retour de la place publique avant de s'être aspergés d'eau, et il y a beaucoupd'autres pratiques qu'ils observent par tradition: lavages de coupes, de cruches et de plats d'airain --,	4 And when returning from the market, unless they wash, they do not eat. And there are many other things which have been handed down to them to observe: the washings of cups, and pitchers, and bronze containers, and beds.
5 donc les Pharisiens et les scribes l'interrogent: "Pourquoi tes disciples ne se comportent-ils pas suivantla tradition des anciens, mais prennent-ils leur repas avec des mains impures?"	5 And so the Pharisees and the scribes questioned him: “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but they eat bread with common hands?”
6 Il leur dit: "Isaïe a bien prophétisé de vous, hypocrites, ainsi qu'il est écrit: Ce peuple m'honore deslèvres; mais leur coeur est loin de moi.	6 But in response, he said to them: “So well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, just as it has been written: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Vain est le culte qu'ils me rendent, les doctrines qu'ils enseignent ne sont que préceptes humains.	7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and precepts of men.’
8 Vous mettez de côté le commandement de Dieu pour vous attacher à la tradition des hommes."	8 For abandoning the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men, to the washing of pitchers and cups. And you do many other things similar to these.”
9 Et il leur disait: "Vous annulez bel et bien le commandement de Dieu pour observer votre tradition.	9 And he said to them: “You effectively nullify the precept of God, so that you may observe your own tradition.
10 En effet, Moïse a dit: Rends tes devoirs à ton père et à ta mère, et: Que celui qui maudit son père ousa mère, soit puni de mort.	10 For Moses said: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever will have cursed father or mother, let him die a death.’
11 Mais vous, vous dites: Si un homme dit à son père ou à sa mère: Je déclare korbân (c'est-à-direoffrande sacrée) les biens dont j'aurais pu t'assister,	11 But you say, ‘If a man will have said to his father or mother: Korban, (which is a gift) whatever is from me will be to your benefit,’
12 vous ne le laissez plus rien faire pour son père ou pour sa mère	12 then you do not release him to do anything for his father or mother,
13 et vous annulez ainsi la parole de Dieu par la tradition que vous vous êtes transmise. Et vous faitesbien d'autres choses du même genre."	13 rescinding the word of God through your tradition, which you have handed down. And you do many other similar things in this way.”
14 Et ayant appelé de nouveau la foule près de lui, il leur disait: "Ecoutez-moi tous et comprenez!	14 And again, calling the crowd to him, he said to them: “Listen to me, all of you, and understand.
15 Il n'est rien d'extérieur à l'homme qui, pénétrant en lui, puisse le souiller, mais ce qui sort del'homme, voilà ce qui souille l'homme.	15 There is nothing from outside a man which, by entering into him, is able to defile him. But the things which procede from a man, these are what pollute a man.
16 Si quelqu'un a des oreilles pour entendre, qu'il entende!"	16 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
17 Quand il fut entré dans la maison, à l'écart de la foule, ses disciples l'interrogeaient sur la parabole.	17 And when he had entered into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable.
18 Et il leur dit: "Vous aussi, vous êtes à ce point sans intelligence? Ne comprenez-vous pas que rien dece qui pénètre du dehors dans l'homme ne peut le souiller,	18 And he said to them: “So, are you also without prudence? Do you not understand that everything entering to a man from outside is not able to pollute him?
19 parce que cela ne pénètre pas dans le coeur, mais dans le ventre, puis s'en va aux lieux d'aisance"(ainsi il déclarait purs tous les aliments).	19 For it does not enter into his heart, but into the gut, and it exits into the sewer, purging all foods.”
20 Il disait: "Ce qui sort de l'homme, voilà ce qui souille l'homme.	20 “But,” he said “the things which go out from a man, these pollute a man.
21 Car c'est du dedans, du coeur des hommes, que sortent les desseins pervers: débauches, vols,meurtres,	21 For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 adultères, cupidités, méchancetés, ruse, impudicité, envie, diffamation, orgueil, déraison.	22 thefts, avarice, wickedness, deceitfulness, homosexuality, an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation, foolishness.
23 Toutes ces mauvaises choses sortent du dedans et souillent l'homme."	23 All these evils procede from within and pollute a man.”
24 Partant de là, il s'en alla dans le territoire de Tyr. Etant entré dans une maison, il ne voulait pas quepersonne le sût, mais il ne put rester ignoré.	24 And rising up, he went from there to the area of Tyre and Sidon. And entering into a house, he intended no one to know about it, but he was not able to remain hidden.
25 Car aussitôt une femme, dont la petite fille avait un esprit impur, entendit parler de lui et vint se jeterà ses pieds.	25 For a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit, as soon as she heard about him, entered and fell prostrate at his feet.
26 Cette femme était grecque, syrophénicienne de naissance, et elle le priait d'expulser le démon hors desa fille.	26 For the woman was a Gentile, by birth a Syro-Phoenician. And she petitioned him, so that he would cast the demon from her daughter.
27 Et il lui disait: "Laisse d'abord les enfants se rassasier, car il ne sied pas de prendre le pain desenfants et de le jeter aux petits chiens."	27 And he said to her: “First allow the sons to have their fill. For it is not good to take away the bread of the sons and throw it to the dogs.”
28 Mais elle de répliquer et de lui dire: "Oui, Seigneur! et les petits chiens sous la table mangent lesmiettes des enfants!"	28 But she responded by saying to him: “Certainly, Lord. Yet the young dogs also eat, under the table, from the crumbs of the children.”
29 Alors il lui dit: "A cause de cette parole, va, le démon est sorti de ta fille."	29 And he said to her, “Because of this saying, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 Elle retourna dans sa maison et trouva l'enfant étendue sur son lit et le démon parti.	30 And when she had gone to her house, she found the girl lying on the bed; and the demon had gone away.
31 S'en retournant du territoire de Tyr, il vint par Sidon vers la mer de Galilée, à travers le territoire dela Décapole.	31 And again, departing from the borders of Tyre, he went by way of Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the area of the Ten Cities.
32 Et on lui amène un sourd, qui de plus parlait difficilement, et on le prie de lui imposer la main.	32 And they brought someone who was deaf and mute to him. And they begged him, so that he would lay his hand upon him.
33 Le prenant hors de la foule, à part, il lui mit ses doigts dans les oreilles et avec sa salive lui toucha lalangue.	33 And taking him away from the crowd, he put his fingers into his ears; and spitting, he touched his tongue.
34 Puis, levant les yeux au ciel, il poussa un gémissement et lui dit: "Ephphatha", c'est-à-dire: "Ouvre-toi!"	34 And gazing up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: “Ephphatha,” which is, “Be opened.”
35 Et ses oreilles s'ouvrirent et aussitôt le lien de sa langue se dénoua et il parlait correctement.	35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke correctly.
36 Et Jésus leur recommanda de ne dire la chose à personne; mais plus il le leur recommandait, de plusbelle ils la proclamaient.	36 And he instructed them not to tell anyone. But as much as he instructed them, so much more did they preach about it.
37 Ils étaient frappés au-delà de toute mesure et disaient: "Il a bien fait toutes choses: il fait entendre lessourds et parler les muets."	37 And so much more did they wonder, saying: “He has done all things well. He has caused both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
