Acts 3
1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Pierre et Jean montaient ensemble au temple à l'heure de la prière, qui était la neuvième.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Et il y avait un homme impotent dès sa naissance, qu'on portait, et qu'on mettait tous les jours à la porte du temple, appelée la Belle, pour demander l'aumône à ceux qui entraient dans le temple.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Cet homme voyant Pierre et Jean qui allaient entrer dans le temple, leur demanda l'aumône.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Mais Pierre, ayant les yeux arrêtés sur lui, avec Jean, lui dit: Regarde-nous.
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Et il les regardait attentivement, s'attendant à recevoir quelque chose d'eux.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Alors Pierre lui dit: Je n'ai ni argent, ni or; mais ce que j'ai, je te le donne; au nom de Jésus de Nazareth, lève-toi et marche.
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Et l'ayant pris par la main droite, il le leva; et à l'instant la plante de ses pieds et ses chevilles devinrent fermes;
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Et sautant, il se tint debout, et marcha, et il entra avec eux dans le temple, marchant, sautant et louant Dieu.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Et tout le peuple le vit qui marchait et qui louait Dieu.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
Et ils reconnurent que c'était le même qui se tenait à la belle porte du temple pour demander l'aumône; et ils furent remplis d'étonnement et d'admiration de ce qui lui était arrivé.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Et comme l'impotent qui avait été guéri, ne quittait pas Pierre et Jean, tout le peuple étonné accourut à eux au portique dit de Salomon.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Mais Pierre, voyant cela, dit au peuple: Hommes Israélites, pourquoi vous étonnez-vous de ceci? ou pourquoi avez-vous les yeux arrêtés sur nous, comme si c'était par notre propre puissance, ou par notre piété que nous eussions fait marcher cet homme?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Le Dieu d'Abraham, d'lsaac et de Jacob, le Dieu de nos pères a glorifié son Fils Jésus, que vous avez livré et renié devant Pilate, quoique celui-ci eût jugé qu'il devait être relâché.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Mais vous avez renié le Saint et le Juste, et vous avez demandé qu'on vous accordât un meurtrier;
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
Et vous avez fait mourir le Prince de la vie, que Dieu a ressuscité des morts: nous en sommes témoins.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
C'est par la foi en son nom, que son nom a raffermi cet homme que vous voyez et connaissez; et c'est la foi en Lui, qui a procuré à cet homme cette parfaite guérison en présence de vous tous.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Et maintenant, frères, je sais que vous avez agi par ignorance, aussi bien que vos chefs.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Mais c'est ainsi que Dieu a accompli ce qu'il avait prédit par la bouche de tous ses prophètes, que le Christ devait souffrir.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Repentez-vous donc et vous convertissez, afin que vos péchés soient effacés,
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
Afin que des temps de rafraîchissements viennent de la part du Seigneur, et qu'Il vous envoie celui qui vous a été annoncé auparavant, le Christ Jésus,
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Que le ciel doit recevoir jusqu'au temps du rétablissement de toutes choses, dont Dieu a parlé par la bouche de tous ses saints prophètes, depuis longtemps. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Car Moïse a dit à nos pères: Le Seigneur votre Dieu vous suscitera, d'entre vos frères, un prophète comme moi; écoutez-le dans tout ce qu'il vous dira.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Et quiconque n'écoutera pas ce prophète, sera exterminé du milieu du peuple.
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Tous les prophètes qui ont parlé depuis Samuel, et ceux qui ont suivi, ont aussi prédit ces jours.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Vous êtes les enfants des prophètes, et de l'alliance que Dieu a traitée avec nos pères, en disant à Abraham: Toutes les familles de la terre seront bénies en ta postérité.
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
C'est pour vous premièrement, que Dieu ayant suscité son Fils Jésus, l'a envoyé pour vous bénir, en retirant chacun de vous de ses iniquités.
