1 Jésus revint du Jourdain rempli de l’Esprit Saint; il se laissa conduire par l’Esprit à travers le désert	1 And Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan. And he was urged by the Spirit into the wilderness
2 où, durant quarante jours, il fut tenté par le diable. De tous ces jours il ne mangea rien, et lorsqu’ils s’achevèrent il eut faim.	2 for forty days, and he was tested by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were completed, he was hungry.
3 Le diable lui dit alors: "Si tu es Fils de Dieu, commande à cette pierre qu’elle devienne du pain.”	3 Then the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, speak to this stone, so that it may be made into bread.”
4 Jésus lui répondit: "Il est écrit: L’homme ne vit pas seulement de pain.”	4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”
5 Le diable alors l’emporta et lui montra, le temps d’un clin d’œil, tous les royaumes de la terre.	5 And the devil led him onto a high mountain, and he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,
6 Il lui dit: "Je te donnerai autorité sur tous; toute cette gloire sera tienne, car elle m’a été remise et je la donne à qui je veux!	6 and he said to him: “To you, I will give all this power, and its glory. For they have been handed over to me, and I give them to whomever I wish.
7 Elle sera tout entière à toi si tu te prosternes devant moi.”	7 Therefore, if you will worship before me, all will be yours.”
8 Mais Jésus lui répondit: "Il est écrit: Tu te prosterneras devant le Seigneur ton Dieu et tu n’adoreras que lui.”	8 And in response, Jesus said to him: “It is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone.’ ”
9 Le diable alors le conduisit à Jérusalem. Il le plaça sur le haut du rempart du Temple et lui dit: "Si tu es Fils de Dieu, jette-toi d’ici en bas.	9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and he set him on the parapet of the temple, and he said to him: “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here.
10 Car il est écrit: Il donnera des ordres à ses anges à ton sujet, pour qu’ils te gardent.	10 For it is written that he has given his Angels charge over you, so that they may guard you,
11 Et encore: Leurs mains te saisiront, de peur que ton pied ne heurte quelque pierre.”	11 and so that they may take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone.”
12 Mais Jésus lui répliqua: "Il est dit: Tu ne mettras pas à l’épreuve le Seigneur ton Dieu.	12 And in response, Jesus said to him, “It is said: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
13 Le diable avait tenté Jésus de toutes les façons possibles; il s’éloigna de lui, attendant une occasion.	13 And when all the temptation was completed, the devil withdrew from him, until a time.
14 Jésus revint en Galilée avec la puissance de l’Esprit et l’on commença à parler de lui dans toute la région.	14 And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee. And his fame spread throughout the entire region.
15 Il s’était mis à enseigner dans leurs synagogues et tous chantaient ses louanges.	15 And he taught in their synagogues, and he was magnified by everyone.
16 Jésus vint ainsi à Nazareth où il avait grandi. Il se rendit à la synagogue comme il avait coutume de faire le jour du sabbat, et il se leva pour faire la lecture.	16 And he went to Nazareth, where he had been raised. And he entered into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the Sabbath day. And he rose up to read.
17 On lui passa le livre du prophète Isaïe et, en le déroulant, il trouva le passage où il est écrit:	17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. And as he unrolled the book, he found the place where it was written:
18 L’Esprit du Seigneur est sur moi: il m’a consacré pour donner aux pauvres une bonne nouvelle. Il m’a envoyé annoncer la libération aux captifs, la lumière aux aveugles; il me faut libérer ceux qui sont écrasés,	18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because of this, he has anointed me. He has sent me to evangelize the poor, to heal the contrite of heart,
19 et proclamer une année de grâce de la part du Seigneur.	19 to preach forgiveness to captives and sight to the blind, to release the broken into forgiveness, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of retribution.”
20 Il roule alors le livre et le redonne au servant, puis il s’assoit, et tous dans la synagogue ont les yeux fixés sur lui.	20 And when he had rolled up the book, he returned it to the minister, and he sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him.
21 Alors il commence sur ce thème: "Cette Écriture est en train de s’accomplir: voyez les nouvelles qu’on vous rapporte!”	21 Then he began to say to them, “On this day, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 Tous l’approuvaient et s’étonnaient de cette révélation de la grâce divine qui tombait de ses lèvres. Ils disaient: "Et penser que c’est le fils de Joseph!”	22 And everyone gave testimony to him. And they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth. And they said, “Is this not the son of Joseph?”
23 Mais il leur dit: "Sûrement vous allez me citer ce proverbe: Médecin, guéris-toi toi-même! On nous a parlé de bien des merveilles survenues à Capharnaüm: fais-les donc ici dans ta patrie!”	23 And he said to them: “Certainly, you will recite to me this saying, ‘Physician, heal yourself.’ The many great things that we have heard were done in Capernaum, do here also in your own country.”
24 Jésus ajouta: "En vérité, je vous le dis, aucun prophète n’est bien reçu dans sa patrie!	24 Then he said: “Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 Croyez-moi, il y avait beaucoup de veuves en Israël au temps d’Élie lorsque le ciel retint l’eau pendant trois ans et demi, et qu’il y eut une grande famine dans tout le pays.	25 In truth, I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elijah in Israel, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, when a great famine had occurred throughout the entire land.
26 Cependant Élie ne fut envoyé à aucune d’elles, mais bien à une femme de Sarepta dans le territoire de Sidon!	26 And to none of these was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27 Il y avait de même de nombreux lépreux en Israël au temps du prophète Élisée, et aucun d’eux ne fut guéri, sinon Naaman le Syrien!”	27 And there were many lepers in Israel under the prophet Elisha. And none of these was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.”
28 En entendant cela, tous dans la synagogue sentaient monter leur colère.	28 And all those in the synagogue, upon hearing these things, were filled with anger.
29 Ils se lèvent, le poussent hors de la ville et le conduisent jusqu’à un ravin de la colline sur laquelle leur ville est construite, pour le jeter en bas.	29 And they rose up and drove him beyond the city. And they brought him all the way to the edge of the mount, upon which their city had been built, so that they might thrown him down violently.
30 Mais lui passe au milieu d’eux et il va son chemin.	30 But passing through their midst, he went away.
31 Jésus descendit à Capharnaüm, une ville de Galilée. Les jours de sabbat il les enseignait,	31 And he descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And there he taught them on the Sabbaths.
32 et son enseignement faisait forte impression sur eux parce qu’il parlait avec autorité.	32 And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was spoken with authority.
33 Il y avait dans la synagogue un homme possédé par un démon impur. Voici qu’il se met à pousser des cris:	33 And in the synagogue, there was a man who had an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 "Que nous veux-tu, Jésus de Nazareth? Es-tu venu pour nous perdre? Je sais qui tu es: le Saint de Dieu!”	34 saying: “Let us alone. What are we to you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God.”
35 Jésus le menace et lui dit: "Tais-toi! Sors de cet homme!” Alors le démon le projette en plein milieu, puis sort de lui sans lui avoir fait le moindre mal.	35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and depart from him.” And when the demon had thrown him into their midst, he departed from him, and he no longer harmed him.
36 C’est une vraie stupeur chez tous; ils se disent l’un à l’autre: "Où veut-il en venir? Avec quelle autorité et quelle puissance il commande aux esprits impurs! Et ils sortent!”	36 And fear fell over them all. And they discussed this among themselves, saying: “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they depart.”
37 C’est ainsi que la renommée de Jésus commence à se répandre partout aux alentours.	37 And his fame spread to every place in the region.
38 Au sortir de la synagogue, Jésus vient à la maison de Simon. La belle-mère de Simon est alors alitée avec une forte fièvre, et ils lui présentent son cas.	38 Then Jesus, rising up from the synagogue, entered into the house of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in the grip of a severe fever. And they petitioned him on her behalf.
39 Jésus se penche sur elle et menace durement cette fièvre: elle la quitte, et à l’instant même la femme se lève pour leur faire le service.	39 And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And promptly rising up, she ministered to them.
40 Au coucher du soleil, tous ceux qui ont des infirmes atteints de diverses maladies les lui amènent. À chacun il impose les mains et il les guérit.	40 Then, when the sun had set, all those who had anyone afflicted with various diseases brought them to him. Then, laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.
41 Des démons sortent également de plusieurs d’entre eux en criant: "Tu es le Fils de Dieu!” Mais lui les menace et ne leur permet pas de dire qu’il est le Messie, car ils le savent.	41 Now demons departed from many of them, crying out and saying, “You are the son of God.” And rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak. For they knew him to be the Christ.
42 Au matin Jésus sortit à la recherche d’un lieu désert. Les foules le cherchaient et ceux qui purent le joindre essayaient de le retenir pour qu’il ne parte pas de chez eux.	42 Then, when it was daytime, going out, he went to a deserted place. And the crowds sought him, and they went all the way to him. And they detained him, so that he would not depart from them.
43 Mais il leur dit: "Je dois aussi annoncer la Bonne Nouvelle du Royaume de Dieu aux autres villes: c’est pour cela que j’ai été envoyé.”	43 And he said to them, “I must also preach the kingdom of God to other cities, because it was for this reason that I was sent.”
44 Il alla donc porter le message dans les synagogues des Juifs.	44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
