Marc 11
1 Lorsqu’ils approchèrent de Jérusalem, et qu’ils furent près de Bethphagé et de Béthanie, vers la montagne des oliviers, Jésus envoya deux de ses disciples,
When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
2 en leur disant: Allez au village qui est devant vous; dès que vous y serez entrés, vous trouverez un ânon attaché, sur lequel aucun homme ne s’est encore assis; détachez-le, et amenez-le.
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].
3 Si quelqu’un vous dit: Pourquoi faites-vous cela? Répondez: Le Seigneur en a besoin. Et à l’instant il le laissera venir ici.
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].’”
4 les disciples, étant allés, trouvèrent l’ânon attaché dehors près d’une porte, au contour du chemin, et ils le détachèrent.
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.
5 Quelques-uns de ceux qui étaient là leur dirent: Que faites-vous? Pourquoi détachez-vous cet ânon?
Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
6 Ils répondirent comme Jésus l’avait dit. Et on les laissa aller.
They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
7 Ils amenèrent à Jésus l’ânon, sur lequel ils jetèrent leurs vêtements, et Jésus s’assit dessus.
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].
8 Beaucoup de gens étendirent leurs vêtements sur le chemin, et d’autres des branches qu’ils coupèrent dans les champs.
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].
9 Ceux qui précédaient et ceux qui suivaient Jésus criaient: Hosanna! Béni soit celui qui vient au nom du Seigneur!
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].”
10 Béni soit le règne qui vient, le règne de David, notre père! Hosanna dans les lieux très hauts!
“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!”
11 Jésus entra à Jérusalem, dans le temple. Quand il eut tout considéré, comme il était déjà tard, il s’en alla à Béthanie avec les douze.
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].
12 Le lendemain, après qu’ils furent sortis de Béthanie, Jésus eut faim.
The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 Apercevant de loin un figuier qui avait des feuilles, il alla voir s’il y trouverait quelque chose; et, s’en étant approché, il ne trouva que des feuilles, car ce n’était pas la saison des figues.
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.
14 Prenant alors la parole, il lui dit: Que jamais personne ne mange de ton fruit! Et ses disciples l’entendirent. (aiōn g165)
[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)
15 Ils arrivèrent à Jérusalem, et Jésus entra dans le temple. Il se mit à chasser ceux qui vendaient et qui achetaient dans le temple; il renversa les tables des changeurs, et les sièges des vendeurs de pigeons;
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],
16 et il ne laissait personne transporter aucun objet à travers le temple.
and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
17 Et il enseignait et disait: 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.
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]”
18 Les principaux sacrificateurs et les scribes, l’ayant entendu, cherchèrent les moyens de le faire périr; car ils le craignaient, parce que toute la foule était frappée de sa doctrine.
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]).
19 Quand le soir fut venu, Jésus sortit de la ville.
That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
20 Le matin, en passant, les disciples virent le figuier séché jusqu’aux racines.
[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.
21 Pierre, se rappelant ce qui s’était passé, dit à Jésus: Rabbi, regarde, le figuier que tu as maudit a séché.
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!”
22 Jésus prit la parole, et leur dit: Ayez foi en Dieu.
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]!
23 Je vous le dis en vérité, si quelqu’un dit à cette montagne: Ote-toi de là et jette-toi dans la mer, et s’il ne doute point en son cœur, mais croit que ce qu’il dit arrive, il le verra s’accomplir.
[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.
24 C’est pourquoi je vous dis: Tout ce que vous demanderez en priant, croyez que vous l’avez reçu, et vous le verrez s’accomplir.
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].
25 Et, lorsque vous êtes debout faisant 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.
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.”
26 Mais si vous ne pardonnez pas, votre Père qui est dans les cieux ne vous pardonnera pas non plus vos offenses.
27 Ils se rendirent de nouveau à Jérusalem, et, pendant que Jésus se promenait dans le temple, les principaux sacrificateurs, les scribes et les anciens, vinrent à lui,
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,
28 et lui dirent: Par quelle autorité fais-tu ces choses, et qui t’a donné l’autorité de les faire?
“By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
29 Jésus leur répondit: Je vous adresserai aussi une question; répondez-moi, et je vous dirai par quelle autorité je fais ces choses.
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.
30 Le baptême de Jean venait-il du ciel, ou des hommes? Répondez-moi.
Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
31 Mais ils raisonnèrent ainsi entre eux: Si nous répondons: Du ciel, il dira: Pourquoi donc n’avez-vous pas cru en lui?
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]’
32 Et si nous répondons: Des hommes… Ils craignaient le peuple, car tous tenaient réellement Jean pour un prophète.
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].
33 Alors ils répondirent à Jésus: Nous ne savons. Et Jésus leur dit: Moi non plus, je ne vous dirai pas par quelle autorité je fais ces choses.
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].”
