Matthew 21
1 As [we] approached Jerusalem, we came near Bethphage [village], near Olive [Tree] Hill. Jesus said to two [of his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of us. As soon as you enter [it], you will see a donkey and her foal that are {someone has} tied [up]. Untie them and bring them [here] to me.
Lorsqu'ils approchèrent de Jérusalem, et furent arrivés à Bethphagé, vers le mont des Oliviers, Jésus envoya deux de ses disciples,
en leur disant: " Allez au village qui est devant vous; vous trouverez aussitôt une ânesse attachée et un ânon avec elle; détachez-les, et amenez-les-moi.
3 If anyone says anything to you [about your doing that], tell [him], ‘The Lord needs them.’ He will [then allow you to] lead them away.”
Et si l'on vous dit quelque chose, répondez que le Seigneur en a besoin, et à l'instant on les laissera aller. "
4 When all this happened, what was written by a prophet {what a prophet wrote about} was fulfilled {happened}. The prophet wrote, “Tell the people who live in Jerusalem [SYN], ‘Look! Your king is coming to you! He will come humbly. He [will show that he is humble, because he will be] riding on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
Or ceci arriva, afin que s'accomplît la parole du prophète:
" Dites à la fille de Sion: Voici que ton roi vient à toi plein de douceur, assis sur une ânesse et sur un ânon, le petit de celle qui porte le joug. "
6 So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
Les disciples allèrent donc et firent ce que Jésus leur avait commandé.
7 They brought the donkey and its colt [to Jesus]. They placed their cloaks on them [to make something for him to sit on]. Then Jesus [mounted the colt] and sat on the cloaks.
Ils amenèrent l'ânesse et l'ânon, mirent dessus leurs manteaux, et l'y firent asseoir.
8 Then a large crowd spread [some of] their clothing on the road, and other [people] cut off branches from [palm] trees and spread them on the road. [They did those things to decorate the road in order to honor Jesus].
Le peuple en grand nombre étendit ses manteaux le long de la route; d'autres coupaient des branches d'arbres et en jonchaient le chemin.
9 The crowds that walked in front of him and those who walked behind him were shouting things like, “Praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” “May the Lord [God] bless [this one] who comes as [God’s] representative and with [God’s] authority [MTY].” “Praise God, who is in the highest [heaven]!”
Et toute cette multitude, en avant de Jésus et derrière lui, criait: " Hosanna au fils de David! Béni soit celui qui vient au nom du Seigneur! Hosanna au plus haut des cieux! "
10 As Jesus entered Jerusalem, a crowd of people [MTY] from all [over the city] became excited and were saying, “Why [are they honoring] this man [like that]?”
Lorsqu'il entra dans Jérusalem, toute la ville fut en émoi; on disait: " Qui est-ce? "
11 The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
Et le peuple répondait: " C'est Jésus le prophète, de Nazareth en Galilée. "
12 Then Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard] and chased out all of those who were buying and selling things there. He also overturned the tables of those who were giving [Temple tax money in exchange for Roman] coins, and he overturned the seats of those who were selling pigeons [for sacrifices].
Jésus étant entré dans le temple, chassa tous ceux qui vendaient et achetaient dans le temple; il renversa les tables des changeurs et les sièges de ceux qui vendaient les colombes,
13 Then he said to them, “It is {([Jeremiah/A prophet]) has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called a place where [people] pray’, but you bandits have made it [MET] your hideout!”
et leur dit: " Il est écrit: Ma maison sera appelée une maison de prière, et vous en faites une caverne de voleurs. "
14 After that, [many] blind [people] and lame [people] came to Jesus in the temple [in order that he would heal them], and he healed them.
Des aveugles et des boiteux vinrent à lui dans le temple, et il les guérit.
15 The high priests and the men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws saw the wonderful deeds that Jesus did. [They also saw and] heard the children shouting in the Temple, “We praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” The religious leaders were indignant [because they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah].
Mais les Princes des prêtres et les Scribes, voyant les miracles qu'il faisait, et les enfants qui criaient dans le temple et disaient: " Hosanna au fils de David, " s'indignèrent,
16 [They thought that Jesus should not be allowing the children to say that], so they asked him, “[How can you tolerate] this [RHQ]? Do you hear what these [children] are shouting?” Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, I [hear them, but] if you [remembered what] you have read [in the Scriptures about children praising me, you would know that God is pleased] [RHQ] [with them]. [The psalmist] wrote, [saying to God], ‘You have taught infants and other children to praise you perfectly.’”
et ils lui dirent: " Entendez-vous ce qu'ils disent? — Oui, leur répondit Jésus; n'avez-vous jamais lu: De la bouche des enfants et de ceux qui sont à la mamelle, vous vous êtes préparé une louange? "
17 Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
Et les ayant laissés là, il sortit de la ville, et s'en alla dans la direction de Béthanie, où il passa la nuit en plein air.
18 Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] was hungry.
Le lendemain matin, comme il retournait à la ville, il eut faim.
19 He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
Voyant un figuier près du chemin, il s'en approcha; mais il n'y trouva que des feuilles, et il lui dit: " Que jamais aucun fruit ne naisse de toi! " Et à l'instant le figuier sécha. (aiōn g165)
20 [The next day] when we disciples saw [what had happened to the tree], we marveled, and we said [to Jesus], “(It is astonishing that the fig tree withered so quickly!/How is it that the fig tree dried up so quickly?)” [RHQ]
A cette vue, les disciples dirent avec étonnement: " Comment a-t-il séché en un instant? "
21 Jesus said to us, “Think about this: If you believe [that God has power to do what you ask him to] and you do not doubt [that], you will be able to do [things like what I have] done to this fig tree. You will even be able to do [marvelous deeds like] saying to a nearby hill, ‘Uproot yourself and throw yourself into the sea’, and it will happen!
Jésus leur répondit: " En vérité, je vous le dis, si vous avez de la foi et que vous n'hésitiez point, non seulement vous ferez comme il a été fait à ce figuier; mais quand même vous diriez à cette montagne: Ote-toi de là et jette-toi dans la mer, cela se ferait.
22 In addition [to that], whenever you ask [God for something] when you pray [to him, if you] believe [that he will give it to you], you will receive [it from him].”
Tout ce que vous demanderez avec foi dans la prière, vous l'obtiendrez. "
23 After that, Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard]. While he was teaching [the people], the chief priests and the elders of the Jewish Council approached him. They asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do what you did [here yesterday] [DOU]?”
Étant entré dans le temple, comme il enseignait, les Princes des prêtres et les Anciens s'approchèrent de lui et lui dirent: " De quel droit faites-vous ces choses, et qui vous a donné ce pouvoir? "
24 Jesus said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and if you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do these things.
Jésus leur répondit: " Je vous ferai, moi aussi, une question, et, si vous y répondez, je vous dirai de quel droit je fais ces choses:
25 Where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God or from people? [MTY/EUP]” The chief priests and elders debated among themselves [about what they should answer]. [They said to each other], “If we say, ‘[It was] [MTY/EUP] from God’, he will say to us, ‘Then (you should have believed his [message]!/why did you not believe [John’s message]?) [RHQ]’
Le baptême de Jean, d'où était-il? du ciel, ou des hommes? " Mais ils faisaient en eux-mêmes cette réflexion:
26 If we say, ‘It was from people’, we are afraid that the crowd [will react violently], because all [the people] believe that John was a prophet [sent by God].”
" Si nous répondons: Du ciel, il nous dira: Pourquoi donc n'avez-vous pas cru en lui? Et si nous répondons: Des hommes, nous avons à craindre le peuple: car tout le monde tient Jean pour un prophète. "
27 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then he said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do the things I did [here yesterday].”
Ils répondirent à Jésus: " Nous ne savons. — Et moi, dit Jésus, je ne vous dis pas non plus de quel droit je fais ces choses. "
28 [Then Jesus said to the chief priests and elders], “Tell me [RHQ] what you think [about what I am about to tell you]. There was a man who had two sons. He went to his older son and said, ‘My son, go and work in my vineyard today!’
" Mais que vous en semble? Un homme avait deux fils; s'adressant au premier, il lui dit: Mon fils, va travailler aujourd'hui à ma vigne.
29 But the son said [to his father], ‘I do not want to [go and work in your vineyard today]!’ But later he changed his mind, and he went to the vineyard [and worked].
Celui-ci répondit: Je ne veux pas; mais ensuite, touché de repentir, il y alla.
30 Then the father approached his younger son and said what he had said to his older son. That son said, ‘Sir, I will [go and work in the vineyard today.’] But he did not go there.
Puis, s'adressant à l'autre, il lui fit le même commandement. Celui-ci répondit: J'y vais, seigneur; et il n'y alla point.
31 So which of the man’s two sons did what their father desired?” They answered, “The older son.” Jesus [explained to them what that parable meant] by saying, “Think about this: [It is more likely that other people, including] tax collectors and prostitutes, [whom you think are very sinful], will enter where God rules, than it is that you [Jewish leaders] will enter.
Lequel des deux a fait la volonté de son père? — Le premier, " lui dirent-ils. Alors Jésus: " Je vous le dis en vérité, les publicains et les courtisanes vous devancent dans le royaume de Dieu.
32 I [say this to you] because, even though John [the Baptizer] explained to you how to live righteously, you did not believe his message. But tax collectors and prostitutes believed his [message, and they turned away from their sinful behavior]. In contrast, you, even though you saw what they did, refused to turn away from your sinful behavior, and you did not believe [John’s message].”
Car Jean est venu à vous dans la voie de la justice, et vous n'avez pas cru en lui; mais les publicains et les courtisanes ont cru en lui, et vous, qui avez vu cela, vous ne vous êtes pas encore repentis pour croire en lui.
33 “Listen to another parable [that I will tell you]. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it. He dug a hole in the ground [inside the fence]. He placed [in the hole] a stone tank to [collect the juice that would be] pressed out of the grapes. He also built a tower [inside that fence that someone would sit in to guard that vineyard]. He arranged for some men [to care for] the vineyard [and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went away to another country.
" Écoutez une autre parabole. Il y avait un père de famille qui planta une vigne. Il l'entoura d'une haie, y creusa un pressoir et y bâtit une tour; et l'ayant louée à des vignerons, il partit pour un voyage.
34 When it was time to harvest the grapes, the landowner sent some of his servants to the men who were taking care of the vineyard to get his share of the grapes [that the vineyard had produced].
Quand vint le temps des fruits, il envoya aux vignerons ses serviteurs pour recevoir le produit de sa vigne.
35 But the renters seized the servants. They beat one of them, they killed another one, and [killed] another one of them [by throwing] stones at him.
Les vignerons s'étant saisis de ses serviteurs, battirent l'un, tuèrent l'autre et lapidèrent le troisième.
36 [So the landowner] sent more servants than [he had sent] the first [time]. The renters treated those servants the same way that [they had treated the other servants].
Il envoya de nouveau d'autres serviteurs en plus grand nombre que les premiers, et ils les traitèrent de même.
37 Later, [knowing this], [the landowner] sent his son to [the renters to get his share of the grapes]. When he sent him, he said [to himself], ‘They will certainly respect my son [and give him some of the grapes].’
Enfin il leur envoya son fils, en disant: ils respecteront mon fils.
38 But when the renters saw his son [arriving], they said to each other, ‘This is the man who will inherit [this vineyard]! Let’s kill him and divide the property [among ourselves].’
Mais quand les vignerons virent le fils, ils se dirent entre eux: Voici l'héritier; venez, tuons-le, et nous aurons son héritage.
39 So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
Et s'étant saisis de lui, ils le jetèrent hors de la vigne et le tuèrent.
40 [Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
Maintenant, lorsque le maître de la vigne viendra, que fera-t-il à ces vignerons? "
41 [The chief priests and elders] replied, “He will thoroughly destroy those wicked [renters]! Then he will rent the vineyard to others. They will give him [his share of] the grapes when they are ripe.”
Ils lui répondirent: " Il frappera sans pitié ces misérables, et louera sa vigne à d'autres vignerons, qui lui en donneront les fruits en leur temps. "
42 Jesus said to them, “[That is right, so you need to think carefully about these words which] you have read [RHQ] in the Scriptures: The builders rejected a certain stone. [But others put] that same stone [in its proper place, and it] has become the most important stone [of the] building [MET]. The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.
Jésus leur dit: " N'avez-vous jamais lu dans les Écritures: La pierre qu'ont rejetée ceux qui bâtissaient, est devenue le sommet de l'angle? C'est le Seigneur qui a fait cela, et c'est un prodige à nos yeux. —
43 So, [because you reject me], I am going to tell you this: God will no longer let you [Jews] be the people over whom he rules. Instead, he will let [non-Jews] be the people over whom he rules, and they will do [IDM] what he asks them to do.
C'est pourquoi je vous dis que le royaume de Dieu vous sera ôté et qu'il sera donné à un peuple qui en produira les fruits.
44 [The important stone in the building represents me, the Messiah, and those who reject me are like people who fall on this stone]. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken into pieces {This cornerstone will break into pieces anyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
Celui qui tombera sur cette pierre se brisera, et celui sur qui elle tombera sera écrasé. "
45 When the chief priests and the [elders who were] Pharisees heard this parable, they realized that he was accusing them [because they did not believe that he was the Messiah].
Les Princes des prêtres et les Pharisiens ayant entendu ces paraboles, comprirent que Jésus parlait d'eux.
46 They wanted to seize him, but [they did not do so] because they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that], because [the crowds] considered that Jesus was a prophet.
Et ils cherchaient à se saisir de lui; mais ils craignaient le peuple, qui le regardait comme un prophète.
