Matthew 10
1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
Et ayant appelé ses douze disciples, il leur donna autorité sur les esprits immondes pour les chasser, et pour guérir toute maladie et toute langueur.
2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
Or ce sont ici les noms des douze apôtres: le premier, Simon appelé Pierre, et André son frère; Jacques le [fils] de Zébédée, et Jean son frère;
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
Philippe et Barthélemy; Thomas et Matthieu le publicain; Jacques le [fils] d’Alphée, et Lebbée surnommé Thaddée;
4 Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
Simon le Cananéen, et Judas l’Iscariote, qui aussi le livra.
5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
Jésus envoya ces douze et leur donna des ordres, disant: Ne vous en allez pas sur le chemin des nations, et n’entrez dans aucune ville de Samaritains;
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
mais allez plutôt vers les brebis perdues de la maison d’Israël.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Et quand vous irez, prêchez, disant: Le royaume des cieux s’est approché.
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Guérissez les infirmes; [ressuscitez les morts]; rendez nets les lépreux; chassez les démons: vous avez reçu gratuitement, donnez gratuitement.
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Ne faites provision ni d’or, ni d’argent, ni de cuivre dans vos ceintures,
ni d’un sac pour le chemin, ni de deux tuniques, ni de sandales, ni d’un bâton, car l’ouvrier est digne de sa nourriture.
11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
Et dans quelque ville ou village que vous entriez, informez-vous qui y est digne; et demeurez là jusqu’à ce que vous partiez.
Et quand vous entrerez dans une maison, saluez-la.
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
Et si la maison [en] est digne, que votre paix vienne sur elle; mais si elle n’[en] est pas digne, que votre paix retourne à vous.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
Et si quelqu’un ne vous reçoit pas et n’écoute pas vos paroles, – quand vous partirez de cette maison ou de cette ville, secouez la poussière de vos pieds.
15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
En vérité, je vous dis: le sort du pays de Sodome et de Gomorrhe sera plus supportable au jour de jugement que celui de cette ville-là.
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
Voici, moi je vous envoie comme des brebis au milieu des loups; soyez donc prudents comme les serpents, et simples comme les colombes;
17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
et soyez en garde contre les hommes, car ils vous livreront aux sanhédrins et vous fouetteront dans leurs synagogues;
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
et vous serez menés même devant les gouverneurs et les rois, à cause de moi, en témoignage à eux et aux nations.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Et quand ils vous livreront, ne soyez pas en souci comment vous parlerez, ni de ce que vous direz; car il vous sera donné dans cette heure-là ce que vous direz;
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
car ce n’est pas vous qui parlez, mais c’est l’Esprit de votre Père qui parle en vous.
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
Et le frère livrera son frère à la mort, et le père son enfant; et les enfants s’élèveront contre leurs parents et les feront mourir;
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
et vous serez haïs de tous à cause de mon nom; et celui qui persévérera jusqu’à la fin, celui-là sera sauvé.
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
Mais quand on vous persécutera dans cette ville, fuyez dans l’autre; car, en vérité, je vous dis: Vous n’aurez point achevé [de parcourir] les villes d’Israël, que le fils de l’homme ne soit venu.
24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
Le disciple n’est pas au-dessus du maître, ni l’esclave au-dessus de son seigneur.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Il suffit au disciple qu’il soit comme son maître, et à l’esclave qu’il soit comme son seigneur: s’ils ont appelé le maître de la maison Béelzébul, combien plus les gens de sa maison?
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
Ne les craignez donc pas; car il n’y a rien de couvert qui ne sera révélé, ni rien de secret qui ne sera connu.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
Ce que je vous dis dans les ténèbres, dites-le dans la lumière; et ce qui vous est dit à l’oreille, prêchez-le sur les toits.
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Et ne craignez pas ceux qui tuent le corps et qui ne peuvent pas tuer l’âme; mais craignez plutôt celui qui peut détruire et l’âme et le corps, dans la géhenne. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Ne vend-on pas deux passereaux pour un sou? Et pas un seul d’entre eux ne tombe en terre, sans votre Père.
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
Et pour vous, les cheveux même de votre tête sont tous comptés.
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Ne craignez donc pas: vous valez mieux que beaucoup de passereaux.
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
Quiconque donc me confessera devant les hommes, moi aussi je le confesserai devant mon Père qui est dans les cieux;
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
mais quiconque me reniera devant les hommes, moi aussi je le renierai devant mon Père qui est dans les cieux.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
Ne pensez pas que je sois venu mettre la paix sur la terre; je ne suis pas venu mettre la paix, mais l’épée:
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
car je suis venu jeter la division entre un homme et son père, entre la fille et sa mère, entre la belle-fille et sa belle-mère;
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
et les ennemis d’un homme seront les gens de sa maison.
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
Celui qui aime père ou mère plus que moi, n’est pas digne de moi; et celui qui aime fils ou fille plus que moi, n’est pas digne de moi;
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
et celui qui ne prend pas sa croix et ne vient pas après moi, n’est pas digne de moi.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
Celui qui aura trouvé sa vie, la perdra; et celui qui aura perdu sa vie pour l’amour de moi, la trouvera.
40 “[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
Celui qui vous reçoit, me reçoit; et celui qui me reçoit, reçoit celui qui m’a envoyé.
41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
Celui qui reçoit un prophète en qualité de prophète, recevra la récompense d’un prophète; et celui qui reçoit un juste en qualité de juste, recevra la récompense d’un juste.
42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
Et quiconque aura donné à boire seulement une coupe d’eau froide à l’un de ces petits, en qualité de disciple, en vérité, je vous dis, il ne perdra point sa récompense.
