Luke 9

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
1 Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.	1 Jésus réunit les Douze; il leur donna autorité sur tous les démons, et puissance pour guérir les malades.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.	2 Puis il les envoya proclamer le Royaume de Dieu et rendre la santé aux infirmes.
3 And he said to them: “You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics.	3 Il leur dit: "Ne prenez rien pour la route: ni sac qu’on accroche à son bâton, ni pain, ni argent; n’ayez pas une seconde tunique.
4 And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.	4 Quand une maison vous sera ouverte, restez-y jusqu’au moment de votre départ.
5 And whoever will not have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as a testimony against them.”	5 Mais là où on ne vous recevra pas, ne sortez pas de la ville sans avoir secoué la poussière de vos pieds: ce sera un témoignage contre eux!”
6 And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.	6 C’est ainsi qu’ils allèrent parcourant les villages: ils proclamaient partout la Bonne Nouvelle et multipliaient les guérisons.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said	7 Hérode, le tétrarque, apprit tout ce qui se faisait. Il ne savait que penser car les uns disaient: "Jean a été ressuscité d’entre les morts”,
8 by some, “For John has risen from the dead,” yet truly, by others, “For Elijah has appeared,” and by still others, “For one of the prophets from of old has risen again.”	8 d’autres disaient: "Élie a réapparu”, et d’autres encore pensaient: "C’est l’un des anciens prophètes qui est ressuscité.”
9 And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.	9 Hérode se disait: "Je suis bien sûr d’avoir décapité Jean! Qui est maintenant celui-ci dont on raconte tant de merveilles?” Et il aurait aimé voir Jésus.
10 And when the Apostles returned, they explained to him all the things that they had done. And taking them with him, he withdrew to a deserted place apart, which belongs to Bethsaida.	10 À leur retour, les apôtres racontèrent à Jésus tout ce qu’ils avaient fait. Il les prit avec lui et se retira dans les environs d’une ville appelée Bethsaïde, de façon à être tranquille.
11 But when the crowd had realized this, they followed him. And he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. And those who were in need of cures, he healed.	11 Mais les foules le surent et y arrivèrent derrière lui. Il les reçut et continua de leur parler du Royaume de Dieu, tout en rendant la santé à ceux qui étaient malades.
12 Then the day began to decline. And drawing near, the twelve said to him: “Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the surrounding towns and villages, they may separate and find food. For we are here in a deserted place.”	12 Le jour commençait à baisser. Les Douze s’approchèrent et lui dirent: "Renvoie la foule pour qu’ils aillent se chercher un toit et de la nourriture dans les villages et les campagnes des environs, car ici nous sommes loin de tout.”
13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “There is with us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we are to go and buy food for this entire multitude.”	13 Il leur dit: "Donnez-leur vous-mêmes à manger!” Ils répondirent: "Nous n’avons que cinq pains et deux poissons. Tu nous vois sans doute y aller nous-mêmes et acheter de quoi manger pour tout ce monde?”
14 Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, “Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty.”	14 Car il y avait bien là 5 000 personnes. Jésus dit à ses disciples: "Faites-les s’asseoir par groupes de 50.”
15 And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.	15 Les disciples firent ainsi et tout le monde s’installa.
16 Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he gazed up to heaven, and he blessed and broke and distributed them to his disciples, in order to set them before the crowd.	16 Alors Jésus prend les cinq pains et les deux poissons, il lève le regard vers le ciel, il prononce la bénédiction, il rompt le pain et commence à en donner aux disciples pour qu’ils servent la foule.
17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.	17 Ils mangèrent et tous eurent à leur faim. Après quoi on ramassa les restes: il y en avait douze paniers!
18 And it happened that, when he was praying alone, his disciples also were with him, and he questioned them, saying: “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”	18 Un jour, Jésus était allé un peu à l’écart pour prier, mais ses disciples étaient avec lui. Il les interrogea sur ce que pensait la foule: "Qui disent-ils que je suis?”
19 But they answered by saying: “John the Baptist. But some say Elijah. Yet truly, others say that one of the prophets from before has risen again.”	19 Ils répondirent: "Pour certains tu es Jean-Baptiste, pour d’autres Élie, pour d’autres encore un des anciens prophètes qui est ressuscité.”
20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” In response, Simon Peter said, “The Christ of God.”	20 Il leur demanda: "Et vous, qui dites-vous que je suis?” Pierre répondit: "Le Messie de Dieu!”
21 But speaking sharply to them, he instructed them not to tell this to anyone,	21 Jésus leur fit un avertissement et leur commanda de ne le dire à personne,
22 saying, “For the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the leaders of the priests and the scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again.”	22 "Car, leur disait-il, le Fils de l’Homme doit souffrir beaucoup et être rejeté par les anciens, les chefs des prêtres et les maîtres de la Loi. Il sera mis à mort et le troisième jour il ressuscitera.”
23 Then he said to everyone: “If anyone is willing to come after me: let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day, and follow me.	23 D’ailleurs Jésus disait à tous: "Si quelqu’un veut marcher derrière moi, qu’il renonce à lui-même, qu’il prenne chaque jour sa croix et qu’il me suive!
24 For whoever will have saved his life, will lose it. Yet whoever will have lost his life for my sake, will save it.	24 Oui, celui qui veut se sauver lui-même se perdra; mais celui qui se sacrifie pour moi se sauvera.
25 For how does it benefit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, yet lose himself, or cause himself harm?	25 Où est le bénéfice si l’on a gagné le monde entier et qu’on s’est détruit ou diminué soi-même?
26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words: of him the Son of man will be ashamed, when he will have arrived in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy Angels.	26 Celui qui rougira de moi et de mes paroles, le Fils de l’Homme aussi rougira de lui quand il viendra dans sa gloire avec le Père et les saints anges.
27 And yet, I tell you a truth: There are some standing here who shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God.”	27 “Je vous le dis en toute vérité: il en est parmi ceux qui sont ici présents qui ne mourront pas sans avoir vu le royaume de Dieu.”
28 And it happened that, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended onto a mountain, so that he might pray.	28 Huit jours après ces paroles, Jésus prit avec lui Pierre, Jean et Jacques, et il gravit la montagne pour prier.
29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.	29 Pendant qu’il priait, son visage changea d’aspect et son vêtement devint d’une blancheur éblouissante.
30 And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.	30 Voici que deux hommes parlaient avec lui: c’étaient Moïse et Élie;
31 And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.	31 Ils apparaissaient dans un état de gloire et parlaient de son départ qui devait avoir lieu à Jérusalem.
32 Yet truly, Peter and those who were with him were weighed down by sleep. And becoming alert, they saw his majesty and the two men who were standing with him.	32 Pierre et ses compagnons étaient accablés de sommeil, mais une fois réveillés, ils virent sa gloire et les deux hommes qui se tenaient près de lui.
33 And it happened that, as these were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: “Teacher, it is good for us to be here. And so, let us make three tabernacles: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what he was saying.	33 Comme ceux-ci allaient se séparer de lui, Pierre dit à Jésus: "Maître, cela tombe bien que nous soyons ici. Nous allons dresser trois tentes: une pour toi, une pour Moïse et une pour Élie.” Il ne savait pas ce qu’il disait.
34 Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.	34 Tandis qu’il parlait ainsi, une nuée vint les prendre sous son ombre, et lorsqu’ils entrèrent dans la nuée la crainte s’empara d’eux.
35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved son. Listen to him.”	35 Mais des paroles se firent entendre venant de la nuée: "Celui-ci est mon Fils, et l’homme de mon choix, écoutez-le!”
36 And while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.	36 Aussitôt après ces paroles, Jésus se trouva seul. Les disciples gardèrent le silence; en ces jours-là ils ne racontèrent rien à personne de ce qu’ils avaient vu.
37 But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.	37 Le jour suivant, comme ils descendaient de la montagne, tout un groupe vint à la rencontre de Jésus.
38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you, look kindly on my son, for he is my only son.	38 Il y avait dans ce groupe un homme qui se mit à crier: “Maître, je t’en supplie, occupe-toi de mon garçon qui est mon seul enfant!
39 And behold, a spirit takes hold of him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him down and convulses him, so that he foams. And though it tears him apart, it leaves him only with difficulty.	39 Le démon s’empare de lui à l’improviste, et alors il se met à crier. Le démon le secoue violemment et le fait baver, et il ne le lâche qu’à grand-peine, le laissant à demi-mort.
40 And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”	40 J’ai demandé à tes disciples de le jeter dehors, et ils n’y sont pas arrivés.”
41 And in response, Jesus said: “O unfaithful and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”	41 Jésus prend alors la parole: "Ô génération sans foi, égarée, jusqu’à quand serai-je avec vous et me faudra-t-il vous supporter? Amène ici ton fils!”
42 And as he was approaching him, the demon threw him down and convulsed him.	42 À peine arrivé, le démon le jette à terre et le secoue violemment. Mais Jésus parle sévèrement à l’esprit impur, il guérit le garçon et le rend à son père.
43 And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father.	43 Tous restèrent sous le coup d’une telle intervention de Dieu. Comme tous étaient émerveillés de ce qu’il faisait, Jésus dit à ses disciples:
44 And all were astonished at the greatness of God. And as everyone was wondering over all that he was doing, he said to his disciples: “You must set these words in your hearts. For it shall be that the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.”	44 "Vous, mettez-vous bien ceci dans la tête: le Fils de l’Homme va être livré aux mains des hommes.”
45 But they did not understood this word, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to question him about this word.	45 Mais ils ne comprirent pas cette déclaration: elle restait comme voilée pour eux et ils n’en saisissaient pas le sens. Cependant ils craignaient de l’interroger à ce sujet.
46 Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.	46 Ils en étaient venus à se demander lequel d’entre eux était le plus important.
47 But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside him.	47 Mais Jésus savait à quoi ils pensaient. Il prit un petit enfant et le plaça près de lui,
48 And he said to them: “Whoever will receive this child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. For whoever is the lesser among you all, the same is greater.”	48 puis il leur dit: "Celui qui reçoit ce petit enfant en mon nom, c’est moi qu’il reçoit. Et celui qui me reçoit, reçoit celui qui m’a envoyé. Le plus petit d’entre vous, c’est lui qui est grand!”
49 And responding, John said: “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in your name. And we prohibited him, for he does not follow with us.”	49 Jean prit la parole: "Maître, dit-il, nous avons vu quelqu’un qui se sert de ton nom pour chasser les démons. Nous l’en avons empêché, car il ne vient pas avec nous.”
50 And Jesus said to him: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”	50 Jésus lui répondit: "Ne l’empêchez pas! Celui qui n’est pas contre vous est avec vous.”
51 Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.	51 Comme le temps approchait où il devait être enlevé de ce monde, Jésus prit résolument le chemin de Jérusalem.
52 And he sent messengers before his face. And going on, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.	52 Voici qu’il envoie des messagers devant lui, ils partent et entrent dans un village de Samaritains pour préparer son arrivée.
53 And they would not receive him, because his face was going toward Jerusalem.	53 Mais les gens ne veulent pas les recevoir, car ils font route vers Jérusalem.
54 And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call for fire to descend from heaven and consume them?”	54 Voyant cela, les disciples Jacques et Jean disent à Jésus: "Seigneur, si tu voulais, nous dirions une parole pour que le feu descende du ciel et les réduise en cendres.”
55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?	55 Jésus alors se retourne et les reprend: "Vous ne savez pas de quel esprit vous êtes!”,
56 The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.	56 et ils se dirigent vers un autre village.
57 And it happened that, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him, “I will follow you, wherever you will go.”	57 Tandis qu’ils faisaient route, quelqu’un lui dit: "Je suis prêt à te suivre partout où tu iras!”
58 Jesus said to him: “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests. But the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.”	58 Jésus lui répondit: "Les renards ont un terrier, les oiseaux du ciel ont un nid, mais le Fils de l’Homme n’a pas où reposer sa tête.”
59 Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”	59 Il dit à un autre: "Suis-moi!” Celui-ci répondit: "Seigneur, permets-moi d’abord de retourner, que je puisse enterrer mon père.”
60 And Jesus said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead. But you go and announce the kingdom of God.”	60 Jésus lui dit: "Laisse les morts enterrer leurs morts, mais toi, pars annoncer le Royaume de Dieu!”
61 And another said: “I will follow you, Lord. But permit me first to explain this to those of my house.”	61 Un autre encore lui dit: "Je suis prêt à te suivre, Seigneur; mais laisse-moi d’abord dire adieu à ma famille.”
62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow, and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”	62 Jésus lui dit: "Celui qui a mis la main à la charrue et puis regarde en arrière, n’est pas bon pour le Royaume de Dieu.”
