JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et il advint ensuite qu'il cheminait à travers villes et villages, prêchant et annonçant la Bonne Nouvelledu Royaume de Dieu. Les Douze étaient avec lui,	1 And it happened afterwards that he was making a journey through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,
2 ainsi que quelques femmes qui avaient été guéries d'esprits mauvais et de maladies: Marie, appelée laMagdaléenne, de laquelle étaient sortis sept démons,	2 along with certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had departed,
3 Jeanne, femme de Chouza, intendant d'Hérode, Suzanne et plusieurs autres, qui les assistaient de leursbiens.	3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who were ministering to him from their resources.
4 Comme une foule nombreuse se rassemblait et que de toutes les villes on s'acheminait vers lui, il dit parparabole:	4 Then, when a very numerous crowd was gathering together and hurrying from the cities to him, he spoke using a comparison:
5 "Le semeur est sorti pour semer sa semence. Et comme il semait, une partie du grain est tombée au borddu chemin; elle a été foulée aux pieds et les oiseaux du ciel ont tout mangé.	5 “The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the way; and it was trampled and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Une autre est tombée sur le roc et, après avoir poussé, elle s'est desséchée faute d'humidité.	6 And some fell upon rock; and having sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Une autre est tombée au milieu des épines et, poussant avec elle, les épines l'ont étouffée.	7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns, rising up with it, suffocated it.
8 Une autre est tombée dans la bonne terre, a poussé et produit du fruit au centuple." Et, ce disant, ils'écriait: "Entende, qui a des oreilles pour entendre!"	8 And some fell upon good soil; and having sprung up, it produced fruit one hundredfold.” As he said these things, he cried out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Ses disciples lui demandaient ce que pouvait bien signifier cette parabole.	9 Then his disciples questioned him as to what this parable might mean.
10 Il dit: "A vous il a été donné de connaître les mystères du Royaume de Dieu; mais pour les autres, c'esten paraboles, afin qu'ils voient sans voir et entendent sans comprendre.	10 And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.
11 "Voici donc ce que signifie la parabole: La semence, c'est la parole de Dieu.	11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Ceux qui sont au bord du chemin sont ceux qui ont entendu, puis vient le diable qui enlève la Parole deleur coeur, de peur qu'ils ne croient et soient sauvés.	12 And those beside the way are those who hear it, but then the devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest by believing it they may be saved.
13 Ceux qui sont sur le roc sont ceux qui accueillent la Parole avec joie quand ils l'ont entendue, maisceux-là n'ont pas de racine, ils ne croient que pour un moment, et au moment de l'épreuve ils font défection.	13 Now those upon rock are those who, when they hear it, accept the word with joy, but these have no roots. So they believe for a time, but in a time of testing, they fall away.
14 Ce qui est tombé dans les épines, ce sont ceux qui ont entendu, mais en cours de route les soucis, larichesse et les plaisirs de la vie les étouffent, et ils n'arrivent pas à maturité.	14 And those which fell among thorns are those who have heard it, but as they go along, they are suffocated by the concerns and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they do not yield fruit.
15 Et ce qui est dans la bonne terre, ce sont ceux qui, ayant entendu la Parole avec un coeur noble etgénéreux, la retiennent et portent du fruit par leur constance.	15 But those which were on good soil are those who, upon hearing the word with a good and noble heart, retain it, and they bring forth fruit in patience.
16 "Personne, après avoir allumé une lampe, ne la recouvre d'un vase ou ne la met sous un lit; on la metau contraire sur un lampadaire, pour que ceux qui pénètrent voient la lumière.	16 Now no one, lighting a candle, covers it with a container, or sets it under a bed. Instead, he places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
17 Car rien n'est caché qui ne deviendra manifeste, rien non plus n'est secret qui ne doive être connu etvenir au grand jour.	17 For there is nothing secret, which will not be made clear, nor is there anything hidden, which will not be known and be brought into plain sight.
18 Prenez donc garde à la manière dont vous écoutez! Car celui qui a, on lui donnera, et celui qui n'a pas,même ce qu'il croit avoir lui sera enlevé."	18 Therefore, take care how you listen. For whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 Sa mère et ses frères vinrent alors le trouver, mais ils ne pouvaient l'aborder à cause de la foule.	19 Then his mother and brothers came to him; but they were not able to go to him because of the crowd.
20 On l'en informa: "Ta mère et tes frères se tiennent dehors et veulent te voir."	20 And it was reported to him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 Mais il leur répondit: "Ma mère et mes frères, ce sont ceux qui écoutent la parole de Dieu et la mettenten pratique."	21 And in response, he said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 Or il advint, un jour, qu'il monta en barque ainsi que ses disciples, et il leur dit: "Passons sur l'autrerive du lac." Et ils gagnèrent le large.	22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that he climbed into a little boat with his disciples. And he said to them, “Let us make a crossing over the lake.” And they embarked.
23 Tandis qu'ils naviguaient, il s'endormit. Et une bourrasque s'abattit sur le lac; ils faisaient eau et setrouvaient en danger.	23 And as they were sailing, he slept. And a windstorm descended over the lake. And they were taking on water and were in danger.
24 S'étant donc approchés, ils le réveillèrent en disant: "Maître, maître, nous périssons!" Et lui, s'étantréveillé, menaça le vent et le tumulte des flots. Ils s'apaisèrent et le calme se fit.	24 Then, drawing near, they awakened him, saying, “Teacher, we are perishing.” But as he rose up, he rebuked the wind and the raging water, and they ceased. And a tranquility occurred.
25 Puis il leur dit: "Où est votre foi?" Ils furent saisis de crainte et d'étonnement, et ils se disaient les unsaux autres: "Qui est-il donc celui-là, qu'il commande même aux vents et aux flots, et ils lui obéissent?"	25 Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they, being afraid, were amazed, saying to one another, “Who do you think this is, so that he commands both wind and sea, and they obey him?”
26 Ils abordèrent au pays des Géraséniens, lequel fait face à la Galilée.	26 And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Comme il mettait pied à terre, vint à sa rencontre un homme de la ville, possédé de démons. Depuis untemps considérable il n'avait pas mis de vêtement; et il ne demeurait pas dans une maison, mais dans les tombes.	27 And when he had gone out to the land, a certain man met him, who had now had a demon for a long time. And he did not wear clothes, nor did he stay in a house, but among the sepulchers.
28 Voyant Jésus, il poussa des cris, se jeta à ses pieds et, d'une voix forte, il dit: "Que me veux-tu, Jésus,fils du Dieu Très-Haut? Je t'en prie, ne me tourmente pas."	28 And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out in a loud voice, he said: “What is there between me and you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me.”
29 Il prescrivait en effet à l'esprit impur de sortir de cet homme. Car, à maintes reprises, l'esprit s'étaitemparé de lui; on le liait alors, pour le garder, avec des chaînes et des entraves, mais il brisait ses liens et ledémon l'entraînait vers les déserts.	29 For he was ordering the unclean spirit to depart from the man. For on many occasions, it would seize him, and he was bound with chains and held by fetters. But breaking the chains, he was driven by the demon into deserted places.
30 Jésus l'interrogea: "Quel est ton nom?" Il dit: "Légion", car beaucoup de démons étaient entrés en lui.	30 Then Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
31 Et ils le suppliaient de ne pas leur commander de s'en aller dans l'abîme.	31 And they petitioned him not to order them to go into the abyss.
32 Or il y avait là un troupeau considérable de porcs en train de paître dans la montagne. Les démonssupplièrent Jésus de leur permettre d'entrer dans les porcs. Et il le leur permit.	32 And in that place, there was a herd of many swine, pasturing on the mountain. And they petitioned him to permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 Sortant alors de l'homme, les démons entrèrent dans les porcs et le troupeau se précipita du haut del'escarpement dans le lac et se noya.	33 Therefore, the demons departed from the man, and they entered into the swine. And the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the lake, and they were drowned.
34 Voyant ce qui s'était passé, les gardiens prirent la fuite et rapportèrent la nouvelle à la ville et dans lesfermes.	34 And when those who were pasturing them had seen this, they fled and reported it in the city and the villages.
35 Les gens sortirent donc pour voir ce qui s'était passé. Ils arrivèrent auprès de Jésus et trouvèrentl'homme dont étaient sortis les démons, assis, vêtu et dans son bon sens, aux pieds de Jésus; et ils furent pris depeur.	35 Then they went out to see what was happening, and they came to Jesus. And they found the man, from whom the demons had departed, sitting at his feet, clothed as well as in a sane mind, and they were afraid.
36 Les témoins leur rapportèrent comment avait été sauvé celui qui était démoniaque.	36 Then those who had seen this also reported to them how he had been healed from the legion.
37 Et toute la population de la région des Géraséniens pria Jésus de s'éloigner d'eux, car ils étaient enproie à une grande peur. Et lui, étant monté en barque, s'en retourna.	37 And the entire multitude from the region of the Gerasenes pleaded with him to depart from them. For they were seized by a great fear. Then, climbing into the boat, he went back again.
38 L'homme dont les démons étaient sortis le priait de le garder avec lui, mais il le renvoya, en disant:	38 And the man from whom the demons had departed pleaded with him, so that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 "Retourne chez toi, et raconte tout ce que Dieu a fait pour toi." Il s'en alla donc, proclamant par la villeentière tout ce que Jésus avait fait pour lui.	39 “Return to your house and explain to them what great things God has done for you.” And he traveled through the entire city, preaching about the great things that Jesus had done for him.
40 A son retour, Jésus fut accueilli par la foule, car tous étaient à l'attendre.	40 Now it happened that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him. For they were all waiting for him.
41 Et voici qu'arriva un homme du nom de Jaïre, qui était chef de la synagogue. Tombant aux pieds deJésus, il le priait de venir chez lui,	41 And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, asking him to enter into his house.
42 parce qu'il avait une fille unique, âgée d'environ douze ans, qui se mourait. Et comme il s'y rendait, lesfoules le serraient à l'étouffer.	42 For he had an only daughter, nearly twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened that, as he was going there, he was hemmed in by the crowd.
43 Or une femme, atteinte d'un flux de sang depuis douze années, et que nul n'avait pu guérir,	43 And there was a certain woman, with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had paid out all her substance on physicians, and she was unable to be cured by any of them.
44 s'approcha par derrière et toucha la frange de son manteau; et à l'instant même son flux de sangs'arrêta.	44 She approached him from behind, and she touched the hem of his garment. And at once the flow of her blood stopped.
45 Mais Jésus dit: "Qui est-ce qui m'a touché?" Comme tous s'en défendaient, Pierre dit: "Maître, ce sontles foules qui te serrent et te pressent."	45 And Jesus said, “Who is it that touched me?” But as everyone was denying it, Peter, and those who were with him, said: “Teacher, the crowd hems you in and presses upon you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
46 Mais Jésus dit: "Quelqu'un m'a touché; car j'ai senti qu'une force était sortie de moi."	46 And Jesus said: “Someone has touched me. For I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 Se voyant alors découverte, la femme vint toute tremblante et, se jetant à ses pieds, raconta devant toutle peuple pour quel motif elle l'avait touché, et comment elle avait été guérie à l'instant même.	47 Then the woman, upon seeing that she was not hidden, came forward, trembling, and she fell down before his feet. And she declared before all the people the reason that she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48 Et il lui dit: "Ma fille, ta foi t'a sauvée; va en paix."	48 But he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49 Tandis qu'il parlait encore, arrive de chez le chef de synagogue quelqu'un qui dit: "Ta fille est morte àprésent; ne dérange plus le Maître."	49 While he was still speaking, someone came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble him.”
50 Mais Jésus, qui avait entendu, lui répondit: "Sois sans crainte, crois seulement, et elle sera sauvée."	50 Then Jesus, upon hearing this word, replied to the father of the girl: “Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 Arrivé à la maison, il ne laissa personne entrer avec lui, si ce n'est Pierre, Jean et Jacques, ainsi que lepère et la mère de l'enfant.	51 And when he had arrived at the house, he would not permit anyone to enter with him, except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
52 Tous pleuraient et se frappaient la poitrine à cause d'elle. Mais il dit: "Ne pleurez pas, elle n'est pasmorte, mais elle dort."	52 Now all were weeping and mourning for her. But he said: “Do not weep. The girl is not dead, but only sleeping.”
53 Et ils se moquaient de lui, sachant bien qu'elle était morte.	53 And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
54 Mais lui, prenant sa main, l'appela en disant: "Enfant, lève-toi."	54 But he, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying, “Little girl, arise.”
55 Son esprit revint, et elle se leva à l'instant même. Et il ordonna de lui donner à manger.	55 And her spirit returned, and she immediately rose up. And he ordered them to give her something to eat.
56 Ses parents furent saisis de stupeur, mais il leur prescrivit de ne dire à personne ce qui s'était passé.	56 And her parents were stupefied. And he instructed them not to tell anyone what had happened.
