Luke 17
1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
Or il dit à ses disciples: « Il est inévitable qu'il arrive des scandales, néanmoins malheur à celui par lequel ils arrivent;
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
il lui est plus avantageux qu'on lui mette au col une pierre meulière, et qu'on le précipite dans la mer, que de scandaliser un seul de ces petits.
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
Prenez garde à vous-mêmes: Si ton frère a péché, reprends-le, et s'il se repent, pardonne-lui;
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
et si, sept fois le jour, il a péché contre toi, et que sept fois il revienne vers toi, en disant: « Je me repens, » tu lui pardonneras. »
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
Et les apôtres dirent au seigneur: « Mets en nous plus de foi. »
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
Mais le seigneur dit: « Si vous aviez de la foi, gros comme un grain de moutarde, vous diriez à ce mûrier-ci: « Déracine-toi, et plante-toi dans la mer; » et il vous obéirait.
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
Mais lequel de vous, ayant un esclave qui conduit la charrue ou paît les troupeaux, lui dira, à son retour des champs: « Viens vite te mettre à table? »
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
Est-ce qu'au contraire il ne lui dira pas: « Prépare-moi à manger, et ceins-toi pour me servir jusques à ce que j'aie mangé et bu, et après cela, toi, tu mangeras et tu boiras? »
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
Est-ce qu'il sait gré à l'esclave de ce qu'il a fait ce qui lui était prescrit?
10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
De même vous aussi, quand vous aurez fait tout ce qui vous a été prescrit, dites: Nous sommes des esclaves inutiles, c'est ce que nous devions faire que nous avons fait. »
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
Et il advint, pendant le voyage vers Jérusalem, qu'il passait entre la Samarie et la Galilée.
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
Et comme il entrait dans un village, vinrent à sa rencontre dix hommes lépreux, qui se levèrent de loin,
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
et ils haussèrent la voix en disant: « Jésus, maître, aie pitié de nous! »
14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
Ce que voyant, il leur dit: « Allez vous montrer aux prêtres. » Et il advint, pendant qu'ils s'y rendaient, qu'ils furent guéris.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
Or l'un d'entre eux voyant qu'il avait été guéri revint glorifiant Dieu à haute voix,
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
et il tomba la face contre terre à ses pieds en lui rendant grâces; et c'était un Samaritain.
17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
Mais Jésus prenant la parole dit: « Les dix n'ont-ils pas été guéris? Mais les neuf où sont-ils?
18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
On ne les a pas vus revenir pour donner gloire à Dieu, sauf cet étranger. »
19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
Et il lui dit: « Lève-toi, va-t-en. »
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
Or ayant été interrogé par les pharisiens sur l'époque de la venue du royaume de Dieu, il leur répliqua: « Le royaume de Dieu ne vient pas de manière à être épié,
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
et l'on ne dira point: « Le voici ici, ou là. » Car voici, le royaume de Dieu est au milieu de vous. »
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
Mais il dit aux disciples: « Des jours viendront, où vous désirerez voir un des jours du fils de l'homme, et vous ne le verrez pas;
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
et on vous dira: « Le voici ici, ou le voilà là; » n'y courez pas,
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
car, comme l'éclair flamboyant brille de l'une des extrémités du ciel jusques à l'autre extrémité du ciel, il en sera de même du fils de l'homme;
25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
mais il faut d'abord qu'il souffre beaucoup, et qu'il soit rejeté par cette génération.
26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
Et comme il est advenu du temps de Noé, de même adviendra-t-il aussi du temps du fils de l'homme;
27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
on mangeait, on buvait, les hommes prenaient des femmes et on donnait aux femmes des maris, jusques au jour où Noé entra dans l'arche; et le déluge survint et les fit tous périr.
28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
De même, comme il advint du temps de Lot, on mangeait, on buvait, on achetait, on vendait, on plantait, on bâtissait,
29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
mais le jour où Lot sortit de Sodome, il tomba du ciel une pluie de feu et de soufre et elle les fit tous périr,
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
de même en sera-t-il le jour où le fils de l'homme sera révélé.
31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
En ce jour-là, que celui qui sera sur le toit, et dont les ustensiles sont dans la maison, ne descende point pour les prendre, et que celui qui est aux champs ne revienne pas non plus en arrière:
32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
souvenez-vous de la femme de Lot.
33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
Mais celui qui aura cherché à rester en possession de sa vie la perdra, tandis que celui qui l'aura perdue la conservera.
34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
Je vous le déclare, cette nuit-là deux personnes seront sur un lit, l'une sera prise et l'autre sera laissée.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
Deux femmes moudront ensemble, l'une sera prise, mais l'autre sera laissée. »
[Deux hommes seront dans la campagne, l'un sera pris et l'autre sera laissé.]
37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
Et prenant la parole ils lui dirent: « Où, Seigneur? » Mais il leur dit: « Là où est le corps, c'est là aussi que se rassembleront les aigles. »
