Mark 11
1 When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
Comme ils approchaient de Jérusalem, aux environs de Betphagé et Béthanie, vers la montagne des Oliviers, Jésus envoya deux de ses disciples,
2 He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
en leur disant: « Allez au village qui est devant vous; dès que vous y serez entrés, vous trouverez un ânon attaché, sur lequel nul homme ne s’est encore assis: détachez-le et amenez-le-moi.
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
Et si quelqu’un vous dit: Que faites-vous? répondez: Le Seigneur en a besoin; et aussitôt il va le renvoyer ici. »
4 So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
S’en étant allés, les disciples trouvèrent un ânon attaché à une porte, en dehors, au tournant du chemin, et ils le détachèrent.
5 Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
Quelques-uns de ceux qui étaient là leur dirent: « Que faites-vous de détacher cet ânon? »
6 They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
Ils répondirent comme Jésus le leur avait commandé, et on les laissa faire.
7 They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
Et ils amenèrent l’ânon à Jésus, et ils mirent dessus leurs manteaux, et Jésus s’y assit.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
Un grand nombre étendirent leurs manteaux le long de la route; d’autres, ayant coupé des branches d’arbres, en jonchèrent le chemin.
9 The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
Et ceux qui marchaient devant, et ceux qui suivaient, criaient: « Hosanna! Béni soit celui qui vient au nom du Seigneur!
10 “May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
Béni soit le règne de David notre père, qui va commencer! Hosanna au plus haut des cieux! »
11 He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
Et il entra à Jérusalem, dans le temple; et ayant observé toutes choses, comme déjà l’heure était avancée, il s’en alla à Béthanie avec les Douze.
12 The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
Le lendemain, après qu’ils furent sortis de Béthanie, il eut faim.
13 He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
Apercevant de loin un figuier couvert de feuilles, il s’avança pour voir s’il n’y trouverait pas quelque fruit; et s’en étant approché, il n’y trouva que des feuilles; car ce n’était pas la saison des figues.
14 [But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
Alors il dit au figuier: « Qu’à jamais personne ne mange plus de ton fruit! » Ce que ses disciples entendirent. (aiōn g165)
15 Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
Ils arrivèrent à Jérusalem. Jésus étant entré dans le temple, se mit à chasser ceux qui vendaient et achetaient dans le temple, et il renversa les tables des changeurs, et les sièges de ceux qui vendaient des colombes,
16 and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
et il ne souffrait pas que personne transportât aucun objet à travers le temple.
17 Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
Et il enseignait, en disant: « N’est-il pas écrit: Ma maison sera appelée une maison de prière pour toutes les nations? Mais vous, vous en avez fait une caverne de voleurs. »
18 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
Ce qu’ayant entendu, les Princes des prêtres et les scribes cherchaient les moyens de le faire périr; car ils le craignaient, parce que tout le peuple admirait sa doctrine.
19 That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
Le soir étant venu, Jésus sortit de la ville.
20 [The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
Or, en repassant de grand matin, les disciples virent le figuier desséché jusqu’à la racine.
21 Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
Et Pierre, se ressouvenant, dit à Jésus: « Maître, voilà que le figuier que tu as maudit a séché. »
22 Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
Jésus leur répondit: « Ayez foi en Dieu.
23 [Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
Je vous le dis, en vérité, si quelqu’un dit à cette montagne: Ôte-toi de là, et te jette dans la mer, et s’il ne doute pas dans son cœur, mais qu’il croie que ce qu’il dit arrivera, il le verra s’accomplir.
24 So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
C’est pourquoi, je vous le dis, tout ce que vous demanderez dans la prière, croyez que vous l’obtiendrez, et vous le verrez s’accomplir.
25 Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
Lorsque vous êtes debout pour faire votre prière, si vous avez quelque chose contre quelqu’un, pardonnez, afin que votre Père qui est dans les cieux vous pardonne aussi vos offenses.
[Si vous ne pardonnez pas, votre Père qui est dans les cieux ne vous pardonnera pas non plus vos offenses.] »
27 Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
Ils arrivèrent de nouveau à Jérusalem. Pendant que Jésus se promenait dans le temple, les Princes des prêtres, les scribes et les Anciens s’approchèrent de lui,
28 “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
et lui dirent: « Par quel pouvoir faites-vous ces choses? Qui vous a donné pouvoir de les faire? »
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
Jésus leur dit: « Je vous ferai, moi aussi, une question; répondez-moi et je vous dirai par quel pouvoir je fais ces choses.
30 Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
Le baptême de Jean, était-il du ciel ou des hommes? épondez-moi. »
31 They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
Mais ils faisaient en eux-mêmes cette réflexion: « Si nous répondons: Du ciel, il dira: Pourquoi donc n’avez-vous pas cru en lui.
32 On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
Si nous répondons: des hommes… » Ils craignaient le peuple; car tous tenaient Jean pour un véritable prophète.
33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
Ils répondirent donc à Jésus: « Nous ne savons — Et moi, dit Jésus, je ne vous dirai pas non plus par quelle autorité je fais ces choses. »
