Luke 23
1 Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
Alors toute l'assemblée s'étant levée, ils menèrent Jésus devant Pilate,
2 They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
et ils se mirent à l'accuser, en disant: " Nous avons trouvé cet homme qui poussait notre nation à la révolte, et défendait de payer les tributs à César, se disant lui-même le Christ roi. "
3 Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
Pilate l'interrogea, disant: " Es-tu le roi des Juifs? " Jésus lui répondit: " Tu le dis. "
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
Pilate dit aux Princes des prêtres et au peuple: " Je ne trouve rien de criminel en cet homme. "
5 But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
Mais redoublant leurs instances, ils dirent: " Il soulève le peuple, répandant sa doctrine dans toute la Judée, depuis la Galilée, où il a commencé, jusqu'ici. "
6 When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
Quand Pilate entendit nommer la Galilée, il demanda si cet homme était Galiléen;
7 When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
et ayant appris qu'il était de la juridiction d'Hérode, il le renvoya à Hérode, qui se trouvait aussi à Jérusalem, en ces jours-là.
8 [So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
Hérode eut une grande joie de voir Jésus; car depuis longtemps il en avait le désir, parce qu'il avait entendu beaucoup parler de lui, et il espérait lui voir opérer quelque prodige.
9 So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
Il lui adressa beaucoup de questions, mais Jésus ne lui répondit rien.
10 The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
Or, les Princes des prêtres et les Scribes se trouvaient là, l'accusant avec opiniâtreté.
11 Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
Mais Hérode, avec ses gardes, le traita avec mépris; après s'être moqué de lui et l'avoir revêtu d'une robe éclatante, il le renvoya à Pilate.
12 Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
Le jour même, Hérode et Pilate devinrent amis, d'ennemis qu'ils étaient auparavant.
13 Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
Pilate, ayant assemblé les Princes des prêtres, les magistrats et le peuple,
14 He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
leur dit: " Vous m'avez amené cet homme comme excitant le peuple à la révolte; je l'ai interrogé devant vous, et je n'ai trouvé en lui aucun des crimes dont vous l'accusez;
15 [Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
ni Hérode non plus, car je vous ai renvoyés à lui, et, vous le voyez, rien qui mérite la mort n'a été prouvé contre lui.
16 So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Je le relâcherai donc après l'avoir fait châtier. "
[Pilate était obligé, au jour de la fête, de leur accorder la délivrance d'un prisonnier].
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
Mais la foule tout entière s'écria: " Fais mourir celui-ci, et relâche-nous Barabbas: " —
19 Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
lequel avait été mis en prison à cause d'une sédition qui avait eu lieu dans la ville, et d'un meurtre.
20 Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
Pilate, qui désirait relâcher Jésus, les harangua de nouveau;
21 But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
mais ils répondirent par ce cri: " Crucifie-le! crucifie-le! "
22 He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Pour la troisième fois, Pilate leur dit: " Qu'a-t-il donc fait de mal? Je n'ai rien trouvé en lui qui mérite la mort. Ainsi je le ferai châtier et je le renverrai. "
23 But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
Mais ils insistèrent, demandant à grands cris qu'il fût crucifié, et leurs clameurs allaient grandissant.
24 Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
Pilate prononça donc qu'il serait fait comme ils demandaient.
25 The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
Il relâcha celui qu'ils réclamaient, et qui avait été mis en prison pour sédition et meurtre, et il livra Jésus à leur volonté.
26 As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
Comme ils l'emmenaient, ils arrêtèrent un nommé Simon, de Cyrène, qui revenait de la campagne, et ils le chargèrent de la croix; pour qu'il la portât derrière Jésus.
27 A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
Or, il était suivi d'une grande foule de peuple et de femmes qui se frappaient la poitrine et se lamentaient sur lui.
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
Se tournant vers elles, Jésus dit: " Filles de Jérusalem, ne pleurez pas sur moi, mais pleurez sur vous-mêmes et sur vos enfants;
29 I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
car voici que des jours viennent où l'on dira: Heureuses les stériles, et les entrailles qui n'ont point enfanté et les mamelles qui n'ont point allaité!
30 Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
Alors les hommes commenceront à dire aux montagnes: Tombez sur nous, et aux collines: Couvrez-nous.
31 [I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
Car, si l'on traite ainsi le bois vert, que fera-t-on du bois sec? "
32 Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
Et l'on conduisait en outre deux malfaiteurs, pour les mettre à mort avec Jésus.
33 When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
Lorsqu'ils furent arrivés au lieu appelé Calvaire, ils l'y crucifièrent, ainsi que les malfaiteurs, l'un à droite, l'autre à gauche.
34 Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
Mais Jésus disait: " Père, pardonnez-leur, car ils ne savent ce qu'ils font. " Se partageant ensuite ses vêtements, ils les tirèrent au sort.
35 Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
Le peuple se tenait là et regardait. Les magistrats se joignaient à lui pour railler Jésus en disant: " Il en a sauvé d'autres; qu'il se sauve lui-même, s'il est le Christ, l'élu de Dieu. "
36 The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
Les soldats aussi se moquaient de lui; s'approchant et lui présentant du vinaigre;
37 They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
ils disaient: " Si tu es le roi des Juifs, sauve-toi toi-même. "
38 [They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
Il y avait encore au-dessus de sa tête une inscription portant, en caractères grecs, latins et hébraïques: " Celui-ci est le roi des Juifs. "
39 One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
Or, l'un des malfaiteurs pendus à la croix l'injuriait, disant: " Puisque tu es le Christ, sauve-toi toi-même et sauve-nous! "
40 But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
Mais l'autre le reprenait, en disant: " Ne crains-tu donc pas Dieu, toi non plus, condamné que tu es au même supplice?
41 They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
Pour nous, c'est justice, car nous recevons ce qu'ont mérité nos crimes; mais lui, il n'a rien fait de mal. "
42 Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
Et il dit à Jésus: " Seigneur, souvenez-vous de moi, quand vous serez parvenu dans votre royaume. "
43 Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
Jésus lui répondit: " Je te le dis en vérité, aujourd'hui tu seras avec moi dans le Paradis. "
44 [Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Il était environ la sixième heure, quand des ténèbres couvrirent toute la terre jusqu'à la neuvième heure.
45 There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
Le soleil s'obscurcit, et le voile du temple se déchira par le milieu.
46 [As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
Et Jésus s'écria d'une voix forte: " Père, je remets mon esprit entre vos mains. " En disant ces mots, il expira.
47 When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
Le centurion, voyant ce qui était arrivé, glorifia Dieu, et dit: " Certainement, cet homme était juste. "
48 When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
Et toutes la multitude qui s'était rassemblée pour ce spectacle, considérant ce qui était arrivé, s'en retournait en se frappant la poitrine.
49 All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
Mais tous les amis de Jésus se tenaient à distance, avec les femmes qui l'avaient suivi de Galilée et contemplaient tout cela.
50 There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
Or, il y avait un homme, appelé Joseph, membre du conseil, homme bon et juste,
51 But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
qui n'avait donné son assentiment ni au dessein des autres, ni à leurs actes; — il était d'Arimathie, ville de Judée, et attendait, lui aussi, le royaume de Dieu.
52 He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
Cet homme alla trouver Pilate, lui demanda le corps de Jésus,
53 he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
et l'ayant descendu, il l'enveloppa d'un linceul, et le déposa dans un sépulcre taillé dans le roc, où personne n'avait encore été mis.
54 [They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
C'était le jour de la Préparation, et le sabbat allait commencer.
55 The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
Les femmes qui étaient venues de la Galilée avec Jésus, ayant accompagné Joseph, considérèrent le sépulcre, et la manière dont le corps de Jésus y avait été déposé.
56 Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
S'en étant donc retournées, elles préparèrent des aromates et des parfums; et le jour du sabbat, elles demeurèrent en repos, selon le précepte.
