Luke 14
1 One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
Un jour de sabbat, Jésus étant entré dans la maison d'un des principaux Pharisiens pour y prendre son repas, ceux-ci l'observaient.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Et voici qu'un homme hydropique se trouvait devant lui.
3 Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
Jésus, prenant la parole, dit aux Docteurs de la Loi et aux Pharisiens: " Est-il permis de faire une guérison le jour du sabbat? "
4 [They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
Et ils gardèrent le silence. Lui, prenant cet homme par la main, le guérit et le renvoya.
5 Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
Puis, s'adressant à eux, il dit: " Qui de vous, si son âne ou son bœuf tombe dans un puits, ne l'en retire aussitôt le jour du sabbat? "
6 [They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
Et à cela ils ne surent que lui répondre.
7 Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
Ensuite, ayant remarqué l'empressement des conviés à choisir les premières places, Jésus leur dit cette parabole:
8 “When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
" Quand tu seras invité par quelqu'un à des noces, ne prends pas la première place, de peur qu'il n'y ait un homme plus considéré que toi,
9 [When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
et que celui qui vous aura invités l'un et l'autre ne vienne te dire: Cède-lui la place; et qu'alors tu ne commences avec confusion à occuper la dernière place.
10 Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
Mais lorsque tu seras invité, va te mettre à la dernière place; de cette façon, quand viendra celui qui t'a invité, il te dira: Mon ami, monte plus haut. Alors ce sera pour toi un honneur devant les autres convives.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Car quiconque s'élève sera abaissé, et quiconque s'abaisse sera élevé. "
12 [Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
Il dit aussi à celui qui l'avait invité: " Lorsque tu donnes à dîner ou à souper, n'invite ni tes amis, ni tes frères, ni tes parents, ni des voisins riches, de peur qu'ils ne t'invitent à leur tour, et ne te rendent ce qu'ils auront reçu de toi.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Mais, quand tu donnes un festin, invite des pauvres, des estropiés, des boiteux et des aveugles;
14 They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
et tu seras heureux de ce qu'ils ne peuvent te rendre la pareille, car cela te sera rendu à la résurrection des justes. "
15 One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
Un de ceux qui étaient à table avec lui, ayant entendu ces paroles, dit à Jésus: " Heureux celui qui aura part au banquet dans le royaume de Dieu! "
16 But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
Jésus lui dit: " Un homme donna un grand repas et y convia beaucoup de gens.
17 When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
A l'heure du repas, il envoya son serviteur dire aux invités: Venez, car tout est déjà prêt.
18 But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Et tous, unanimement, se mirent à s'excuser. Le premier lui dit: J'ai acheté une terre, et il faut que j'aille la voir; je te prie de m'excuser.
19 Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Le second dit: J'ai acheté cinq paires de bœufs, et je vais les essayer; je te prie de m'excuser.
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Un autre dit: Je viens de me marier, et c'est pourquoi je ne puis aller.
21 So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
Le serviteur étant revenu, rapporta ces choses à son maître. Alors le père de famille irrité dit à son serviteur: Va vite dans les places et les rues de la ville, et amène ici les pauvres, les estropiés, les aveugles et les boiteux.
22 [After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
Le serviteur dit: Seigneur, il a été fait comme vous l'avez commandé, et il y a encore de la place.
23 [So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
Le maître dit au serviteur: Va dans les chemins et le long des haies, et ceux que tu trouveras, presse-les d'entrer, afin que ma maison soit remplie.
24 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
Car, je vous le dis, aucun de ces hommes qui avaient été invités ne goûtera de mon festin. "
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Comme une grande foule cheminait avec lui, il se retourna et leur dit:
26 “If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
" Si quelqu'un vient à moi et ne hait pas son père et sa mère, sa femme et ses enfants, ses frères et ses sœurs, et même sa propre vie, il ne peut être mon disciple.
27 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
Et quiconque ne porte pas sa croix et ne me suis pas, ne peut être mon disciple.
28 [I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
Qui de vous, en effet, s'il veut bâtir une tour, ne s'assied pas auparavant pour calculer la dépense, et s'il a de quoi l'achever?
29 [If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
de peur qu'après avoir posé les fondements de l'édifice, il ne puisse le conduire à sa fin, et que tous ceux qui le verront ne se mettent à le railler,
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
disant: Cet homme a commencé à bâtir, et il n'a pu achever.
31 Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
Ou quel roi, s'il va faire la guerre à un autre roi, ne s'assied d'abord pour délibérer s'il peut, avec dix mille hommes, faire face à un ennemi qui vient l'attaquer avec vingt mille?
32 If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
S'il ne le peut, tandis que celui-ci est encore loin, il lui envoie une ambassade pour négocier la paix.
33 So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
Ainsi donc, quiconque d'entre vous ne renonce pas à tout ce qu'il possède, ne peut être mon disciple.
34 [Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
Le sel est bon; mais si le sel s'affadit, avec quoi lui donnera-t-on de la saveur?
35 [If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
Inutile et pour la terre et pour le fumier, on le jette dehors. Que celui qui a des oreilles entende bien! "
