Évangile selon Luc 23

BIBLES DES PEUPLES	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Alors toute l’assemblée se leva. Ils amenèrent Jésus devant Pilate	1 And the entire multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.
2 et là ils commencèrent à l’accuser: "Nous avons établi que cet homme sème le désordre dans notre nation; il interdit de payer l’impôt à César et se présente comme le roi-Messie.”	2 Then they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this one subverting our nation, and prohibiting giving tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.”
3 Pilate alors lui posa la question: "Es-tu le roi des Juifs?” Jésus lui répondit: "Tu le dis.”	3 And Pilate questioned him, saying: “You are the king of the Jews?” But in response, he said: “You are saying it.”
4 Pilate déclara aux grands prêtres et à la foule: "Je ne trouve chez cet homme aucun motif de condamnation.”	4 Then Pilate said to the leaders of the priests and to the crowds, “I find no case against this man.”
5 Mais ils insistèrent: "Il enseigne à travers tout le pays des Juifs et il soulève le peuple; il a commencé en Galilée et il est venu jusqu’ici.”	5 But they continued more intensely, saying: “He has stirred up the people, teaching throughout all of Judea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.”
6 Lorsque Pilate entend ces paroles, il demande si l’homme est galiléen.	6 But Pilate, upon hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee.
7 Il apprend que c’est un sujet d’Hérode, et aussitôt il le renvoie à Hérode qui se trouve lui aussi à Jérusalem durant ces jours.	7 And when he realized that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem in those days.
8 Depuis longtemps Hérode désirait voir Jésus à cause de tout ce qu’on lui en disait. Il fut donc tout heureux de le voir car il espérait bien lui voir faire un miracle.	8 Then Herod, upon seeing Jesus, was very glad. For he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard so many things about him, and he was hoping to see some kind of sign wrought by him.
9 Il lui posa beaucoup de questions. Mais Jésus ne répondit rien,	9 Then he questioned him with many words. But he gave him no response at all.
10 alors qu’en face de lui les grands prêtres et les maîtres de la Loi multipliaient les accusations graves.	10 And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, stood firm in persistently accusing him.
11 Hérode profita de lui pour amuser sa garde: ils lui passèrent un habit somptueux et le renvoyèrent ainsi à Pilate.	11 Then Herod, with his soldiers, scorned him. And he ridiculed him, clothing him in a white garment. And he sent him back to Pilate.
12 Jusque là Hérode et Pilate étaient ennemis, mais à partir de ce jour ils devinrent amis.	12 And Herod and Pilate became friends on that day. For previously they were enemies to one another.
13 Pilate fit convoquer les grands prêtres, les chefs et le peuple;	13 And Pilate, calling together the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
14 il leur dit: "Vous me l’avez présenté comme un meneur subversif, mais quand je l’ai interrogé devant vous, je ne lui ai trouvé aucun des délits dont vous l’accusez.	14 said to them: “You have brought before me this man, as one who disturbs the people. And behold, having questioned him before you, I find no case against this man, in those things about which you accuse him.
15 Hérode non plus: voyez comment il nous le renvoie. Il est clair qu’il n’a rien commis qui mérite la mort,	15 And neither did Herod. For I sent you all to him, and behold, nothing deserving of death was recorded about him.
16 aussi, après l’avoir corrigé, je le relâcherai.”	16 Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”
17 Car Pilate devait relâcher un prisonnier à l’occasion de la Pâque.	17 Now he was required to release one person for them on the feast day.
18 Mais toute la foule se met à crier: "Supprime-le; c’est Barabbas que tu dois nous relâcher.”	18 But the entire crowd exclaimed together, saying: “Take this one, and release to us Barabbas!”
19 Ce dernier avait été jeté en prison à la suite d’une émeute et d’un meurtre commis dans la ville même.	19 Now he had been cast into prison because of a certain sedition that occurred in the city and for murder.
20 Pilate leur adressa encore une fois la parole, car il voulait relâcher Jésus,	20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus.
21 mais les cris devinrent plus forts: "Mets-le en croix, oui, en croix!”	21 But they shouted in response, saying: “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22 Une troisième fois Pilate leur dit: "Mais quel mal a-t-il donc fait? Je ne trouve rien en lui pour une condamnation à mort. Je le corrigerai donc et je le relâcherai.”	22 Then he said to them a third time: “Why? What evil has he done? I find no case against him for death. Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”
23 Mais eux n’arrêtaient plus de demander à grands cris qu’on le mette en croix, et leur vacarme allait en croissant.	23 But they persisted, with loud voices, in demanding that he be crucified. And their voices increased in intensity.
24 À la fin Pilate décida de satisfaire leur demande:	24 And so Pilate issued a judgment granting their petition.
25 il relâcha celui qu’on avait jeté en prison pour émeute et meurtre, celui qu’ils réclamaient, et il sacrifia Jésus à leur bon plaisir.	25 Then he released for them the one who had been cast into prison for murder and sedition, whom they were requesting. Yet truly, Jesus he handed over to their will.
26 Comme ils l’emmenaient, ils arrêtèrent un certain Simon de Cyrène qui revenait des champs, et lui firent porter la croix derrière Jésus.	26 And as they were leading him away, they apprehended a certain one, Simon of Cyrene, as he was returning from the countryside. And they imposed the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
27 Des gens du peuple en foule nombreuse le suivaient; les femmes se lamentaient et pleuraient sur lui.	27 Then a great crowd of people followed him, with women who were mourning and lamenting him.
28 Jésus se retourna vers elles et leur dit: "Filles de Jérusalem, ne pleurez pas sur moi! Pleurez plutôt sur vous-mêmes et sur vos enfants,	28 But Jesus, turning to them, said: “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me. Instead, weep over yourselves and over your children.
29 car les jours viennent où l’on dira: Heureuses les femmes stériles, heureuses celles qui n’ont pas mis au monde et n’ont pas allaité!	29 For behold, the days will arrive in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed.’
30 On en viendra à dire aux montagnes: Tombez sur nous! et aux collines: Couvrez-nous!	30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall over us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’
31 Car si l’on traite ainsi l’arbre vert, que fera-t-on de l’arbre sec?”	31 For if they do these things with green wood, what will be done with the dry?”
32 On emmenait également deux malfaiteurs pour être exécutés avec lui,	32 Now they also led out two other criminals with him, in order to execute them.
33 et quand on arriva au lieu-dit du Crâne, on le mit en croix ainsi que les malfaiteurs, l’un à sa droite et l’autre à sa gauche.	33 And when they arrived at the place that is called Calvary, they crucified him there, with the robbers, one to the right and the other to the left.
34 (Jésus disait: "Père, pardonne-leur, car ils ne savent ce qu’ils font.”) Puis ils se partagèrent ses vêtements en les jouant aux dés.	34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. For they know not what they do.” And truly, dividing his garments, they cast lots.
35 Le peuple restait à regarder. Quant aux chefs, ils ricanaient en disant: "Il en a sauvé d’autres, qu’il se sauve lui-même s’il est le Messie de Dieu, l’Élu.”	35 And people were standing near, watching. And the leaders among them derided him, saying: “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this one is the Christ, the elect of God.”
36 Les soldats aussi le tournèrent en ridicule lorsqu’ils s’approchèrent pour lui présenter du vin acidulé;	36 And the soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching him and offering him vinegar,
37 ils lui disaient: "Sauve-toi toi-même, si tu es le roi des Juifs.”	37 and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
38 Car au-dessus de lui on avait placé un écriteau: “Le roi des Juifs.”	38 Now there was also an inscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Un des malfaiteurs crucifiés l’insultait: "N’es-tu pas le Messie? Sauve-toi toi-même et nous avec toi.”	39 And one of those robbers who were hanging blasphemed him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.”
40 Mais l’autre le reprit sévèrement: "N’as-tu donc pas la crainte de Dieu, toi qui subis la même condamnation?	40 But the other responded by rebuking him, saying: “Do you have no fear of God, since you are under the same condemnation?
41 Pour nous c’est justice: nous payons ce que nous avons fait; mais lui, il n’a commis aucun crime.”	41 And indeed, it is just for us. For we are receiving what our deeds deserve. But truly, this one has done nothing wrong.”
42 Puis il dit: "Jésus, souviens-toi de moi quand tu viendras dans ton Royaume.”	42 And he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
43 Jésus lui répondit: "En vérité, je te le dis, aujourd’hui même tu seras avec moi dans le paradis.”	43 And Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with me in Paradise.”
44 Il était environ midi, mais le soleil disparut et ce fut l’obscurité dans tout le pays jusqu’à trois heures;	44 Now it was nearly the sixth hour, and a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.
45 au même moment le rideau du sanctuaire se déchirait par le milieu.	45 And the sun was obscured. And the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
46 Alors Jésus cria d’une voix forte: "Père, entre tes mains je remets mon esprit.” Ayant dit cela, il rendit le dernier soupir.	46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” And upon saying this, he expired.
47 Quand le capitaine de service vit ce qui venait d’arriver, il rendit gloire à Dieu: "En vérité, dit-il, cet homme était un juste.”	47 Now, the centurion, seeing what had happened, glorified God, saying, “Truly, this man was the Just One.”
48 De même, à la vue de tout ce qui arrivait, la foule de ceux qui étaient venus pour voir s’en retournait en se frappant la poitrine.	48 And the entire crowd of those who came together to see this spectacle also saw what had happened, and they returned, striking their breasts.
49 À quelque distance restaient les gens de connaissance, en particulier les femmes qui avaient accompagné Jésus depuis la Galilée et qui regardaient tout cela.	49 Now all those who knew him, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance, watching these things.
50 Alors intervint un homme du nom de Joseph, un homme bon et droit qui était membre du Conseil	50 And behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a councilman, a good and just man,
51 mais qui n’avait pas approuvé le projet des autres ni leurs actes. Il était d’Arimathie, une ville juive, et il attendait le Royaume de Dieu.	51 (for he had not consented to their decision or their actions). He was from Arimathea, a city of Judea. And he was himself also anticipating the kingdom of God.
52 Il alla donc trouver Pilate pour lui réclamer le corps de Jésus.	52 This man approached Pilate and petitioned for the body of Jesus.
53 Il le descendit de la croix, l’enveloppa dans un drap et le déposa dans une tombe taillée en plein roc où personne encore n’avait été déposé.	53 And taking him down, he wrapped him in a fine linen cloth, and he placed him in a tomb hewn from rock, in which no one had ever been placed.
54 C’était le jour de la préparation et l’étoile qui ouvre le sabbat commençait à briller.	54 And it was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 Les femmes qui étaient venues de Galilée avec Jésus ne s’étaient pas éloignées; elles virent de près la tombe et comment on déposait le corps.	55 Now the women who had come with him from Galilee, by following, saw the tomb and the manner in which his body was placed.
56 Rentrées chez elles, elles préparèrent des aromates et de la myrrhe. Puis, durant le sabbat, elles restèrent tranquilles selon le commandement.	56 And upon returning, they prepared aromatic spices and ointments. But on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the commandment.
