Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Lorsqu'il descendit de la montagne, de grandes foules le suivirent.
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
Voici qu'un lépreux s'approcha de lui et l'adora, disant: « Seigneur, si tu le veux, tu peux me rendre pur. »
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
Jésus étendit la main et le toucha, en disant: « Je le veux. Sois purifié. » Aussitôt, sa lèpre fut purifiée.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
Jésus lui dit: « Garde-toi de le dire à personne; mais va te montrer au prêtre, et offre le don que Moïse a prescrit, en témoignage pour eux. »
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
Lorsqu'il arriva à Capharnaüm, un centurion vint lui demander du secours,
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
en disant: « Seigneur, mon serviteur est couché dans la maison, paralysé et gravement tourmenté. »
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
Jésus lui dit: « Je vais venir et le guérir. »
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
Le centurion répondit: « Seigneur, je ne suis pas digne que tu viennes sous mon toit. Dis seulement un mot, et mon serviteur sera guéri.
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
Car moi aussi, je suis un homme d'autorité, ayant sous mes ordres des soldats. Je dis à celui-ci: « Va », et il va; je dis à celui-là: « Viens », et il vient; je dis à mon serviteur: « Fais ceci », et il le fait. »
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
Lorsque Jésus l'entendit, il s'étonna et dit à ceux qui le suivaient: « En vérité, je vous le dis, je n'ai pas trouvé une si grande foi, pas même en Israël.
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
Je vous le dis, beaucoup viendront de l'Orient et de l'Occident et s'assiéront avec Abraham, Isaac et Jacob dans le Royaume des cieux,
12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
mais les enfants du Royaume seront jetés dans les ténèbres du dehors. Il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents. »
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
Jésus dit au centurion: « Va, laisse-toi faire. Qu'il soit fait pour toi ce que tu as cru. » Son serviteur fut guéri à l'heure même.
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
Lorsque Jésus entra dans la maison de Pierre, il vit la mère de sa femme couchée et atteinte de fièvre.
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
Il lui toucha la main, et la fièvre la quitta. Alors elle se leva et le servit.
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
Le soir venu, on lui amena plusieurs personnes possédées de démons. Il chassa les esprits par une parole et guérit tous les malades,
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
afin que s'accomplît ce qui avait été annoncé par le prophète Ésaïe: « Il a pris nos infirmités et porté nos maladies. »
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
Or, voyant une grande foule autour de lui, Jésus donna l'ordre de passer à l'autre rive.
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
Un scribe s'approcha et lui dit: « Maître, je te suivrai partout où tu iras. »
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
Jésus lui dit: « Les renards ont des trous et les oiseaux du ciel des nids, mais le Fils de l'homme n'a nulle part où reposer sa tête. »
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Un autre de ses disciples lui dit: « Seigneur, permets-moi d'aller d'abord ensevelir mon père. »
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
Mais Jésus lui dit: « Suis-moi, et laisse les morts enterrer leurs propres morts. »
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
Il monta dans une barque, et ses disciples le suivirent.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Voici qu'une violente tempête s'éleva sur la mer, au point que la barque fut couverte par les vagues; mais il dormait.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
Les disciples s'approchèrent de lui et le réveillèrent, en disant: « Sauve-nous, Seigneur! Nous sommes en train de mourir! »
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
Il leur dit: « Pourquoi êtes-vous craintifs, ô gens de peu de foi? » Puis il se leva, menaça le vent et la mer, et il y eut un grand calme.
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
Les hommes s'étonnaient et disaient: « Quelle sorte d'homme est-ce là, pour que même le vent et la mer lui obéissent? »
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
Lorsqu'il arriva de l'autre côté, dans le pays des Gergéséniens, deux personnes possédées de démons le rencontrèrent là, sortant des tombeaux, extrêmement féroces, de sorte que personne ne pouvait passer par là.
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
Et voici qu'elles s'écriaient: « Qu'avons-nous à faire avec toi, Jésus, Fils de Dieu? Es-tu venu ici pour nous tourmenter avant le temps? »
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Or, il y avait loin d'eux un troupeau de porcs nombreux qui paissaient.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
Les démons le supplièrent, disant: « Si tu nous chasses, permets-nous de nous en aller dans le troupeau de porcs. »
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Il leur dit: « Allez! » Ils sortirent et entrèrent dans le troupeau de porcs; et voici que tout le troupeau de porcs se précipita du haut de la falaise dans la mer et mourut dans l'eau.
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
Ceux qui les avaient nourris s'enfuirent et s'en allèrent dans la ville, racontant tout, y compris ce qui était arrivé à ceux qui étaient possédés de démons.
34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
Et voici que toute la ville sortit à la rencontre de Jésus. Quand ils le virent, ils le supplièrent de s'éloigner de leurs frontières.
