Luc 21
1 Jésus, levant les yeux, vit les riches qui mettaient leurs offrandes dans le tronc.
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 Il vit aussi une veuve indigente qui y mettait deux petites pièces de monnaie,
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 et il dit: " Je vous le dis, en vérité, cette pauvre veuve a mis plus que tous les autres.
He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
4 Car tous ceux-là ont donné de leur superflu en offrande à Dieu; mais cette femme a donné de son indigence tout ce qu'elle avait pour vivre. "
5 Quelques-uns disant que le temple était orné de belles pierres et de riches offrandes, Jésus dit:
Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
6 " Des jours viendront où, de tout ce que vous regardez-là, il ne restera pas pierre sur pierre qui ne soit renversée. "
“[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
7 Alors ils lui demandèrent: " Maître, quand ces choses arriveront-elles, et à quel signe connaîtra-t-on qu'elles sont près de s'accomplir? "
[Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
8 Jésus répondit: " Prenez garde qu'on ne vous séduise; car plusieurs viendront sous mon nom, disant: Je suis le Christ, et le temps est proche. Ne les suivez donc point.
He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
9 Et quand vous entendrez parler de guerres et de séditions, ne soyez pas effrayés; il faut que ces choses arrivent d'abord; mais la fin ne viendra pas sitôt. "
Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
10 Il leur dit alors: " Une nation s'élèvera contre une nation, et un royaume contre un royaume.
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 Il y aura de grands tremblements de terre, des pestes et des famines en divers lieux, et dans le ciel d'effrayantes apparitions et des signes extraordinaires.
There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
12 Mais, avant tout cela, on mettra les main sur vous, et l'on vous persécutera; on vous traînera dans les synagogues et dans les prisons, on vous traduira devant les rois et les gouverneurs, à cause de mon nom.
But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
13 Cela vous arrivera, afin que vous me rendiez témoignage.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Mettez donc dans vos cœurs de ne point songer d'avance à votre défense;
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 car je vous donnerai moi-même une bouche et une sagesse à laquelle tous vos ennemis ne pourront ni répondre, ni résister.
because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
16 Vous serez livrés même par vos parents, par vos frères, par vos proches et par vos amis, et ils feront mourir plusieurs d'entre vous.
[And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
17 Vous serez en haine à tous à cause de mon nom.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Cependant pas un cheveu de votre tête ne se perdra;
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 par votre constance, vous sauverez vos âmes.
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 Mais lorsque vous verrez des armées investir Jérusalem, sachez alors que sa désolation est proche.
“But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
21 Alors que ceux qui seront dans la Judée s'enfuient dans les montagnes, que ceux qui seront dans la ville en sortent, et que ceux qui seront dans les campagnes n'entrent pas dans la ville.
At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
22 Car ce seront des jours de châtiment, pour l'accomplissement de tout ce qui est écrit.
[You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
23 Malheur aux femmes qui seront enceintes ou qui allaiteront en ces jours-là, car la détresse sera grande sur la terre, grande la colère contre ce peuple.
[I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
24 Ils tomberont sous le tranchant du glaive; ils seront emmenés captifs parmi toutes les nations, et Jérusalem sera foulée aux pieds par les Gentils, jusqu'à ce que les temps des Gentils soient accomplis.
Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
25 Et il y aura des signes dans le soleil, dans la lune et dans les étoiles, et, sur la terre, les nations seront dans l'angoisse et la consternation, au bruit de la mer et des flots;
“There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
26 les hommes séchant de frayeur dans l'attente de ce qui doit arriver à la terre entière; car les puissances des cieux seront ébranlées.
People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
27 Alors on verra le Fils de l'homme venant dans une nuée avec une grande puissance et une grande gloire.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Quand ces choses commenceront à arriver, redressez-vous et relevez la tête, parce que votre délivrance approche. "
So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
29 Et il leur dit cette comparaison: " Voyez le figuier et tous les arbres:
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 dès qu'ils se sont mis à pousser, vous savez de vous-mêmes, en les voyant, que l'été est proche.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 De même, quand vous verrez ces choses arriver, sachez que le royaume de Dieu est proche.
Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
32 Je vous le dis, en vérité, cette génération ne passera point, que tout ne soit accompli.
Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
33 Le ciel et la terre passeront, mais mes paroles ne passeront point.
[You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
34 Prenez garde à vous-mêmes, de peur que vos cœurs ne s'appesantissent par l'excès du manger et du boire, et par les soucis de la vie, et que ce jour ne fonde sur vous à l'improviste;
“But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
35 car il viendra comme un filet sur tous ceux qui habitent la face de la terre entière.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Veillez donc et priez sans cesse, afin que vous soyez trouvés dignes d'échapper à tous ces maux qui doivent arriver, et de paraître debout devant le Fils de l'homme. "
So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
37 Pendant le jour, Jésus enseignait dans le temple, et il en sortait pour aller passer la nuit sur la montagne qu'on appelle des Oliviers.
Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
38 Et tout le peuple, dès le matin, venait à lui pour l'écouter dans le temple.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
