Luc 5
1 Comme Jésus était sur le bord du lac de Génézareth, la foule se pressait autour de lui pour entendre la parole de Dieu.
Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret;
2 Il vit deux barques arrêtées près du rivage; les pêcheurs en étaient descendus pour laver leurs filets.
And he saw two boats by the edge of the water, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 Il monta dans l'une de ces barques, qui appartenait à Simon, et il le pria de s'éloigner un peu du bord; puis il s'assit, et de là il enseignait la foule.
And he got into one of the boats, the property of Simon, and made a request to him to go a little way out from the land. And being seated he gave the people teaching from the boat.
4 Quand il eut cessé de parler, il dit à Simon: Avance en pleine eau, et jetez vos filets pour pêcher.
And when his talk was ended, he said to Simon, Go out into deep water, and let down your nets for fish.
5 Simon lui répondit: Maître, nous avons travaillé toute la nuit sans rien prendre; mais, sur ta parole, je jetterai le filet.
And Simon, answering, said, Master, we were working all night and we took nothing: but at your word I will let down the nets.
6 L'ayant jeté, ils prirent une si grande quantité de poissons que leur filet se rompait.
And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken;
7 Alors ils firent signe à leurs compagnons, qui étaient dans l'autre barque, de venir les aider; ceux-ci vinrent, et ils remplirent les deux barques, tellement qu'elles enfonçaient.
And they made signs to their friends in the other boat to come to their help. And they came, and the two boats were so full that they were going down.
8 Simon Pierre, ayant vu cela, se jeta aux genoux de Jésus, et il lui dit: Seigneur, retire-toi de moi; car je suis un homme pécheur.
But Simon, when he saw it, went down at the knees of Jesus and said, Go away from me, O Lord, for I am a sinner.
9 En effet, la frayeur l'avait saisi, ainsi que tous ceux qui étaient avec lui, à cause de la pêche qu'ils avaient faite et des poissons qu'ils avaient pris.
For he was full of wonder and so were all those who were with him, at the number of fish which they had taken;
10 Il en était de même de Jacques et de Jean, fils de Zébédée, qui étaient compagnons de Simon. Alors Jésus dit à Simon: Ne crains point; désormais, tu seras pêcheur d'hommes.
And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.
11 Puis, après avoir ramené les barques à terre, ils quittèrent tout et le suivirent.
And when they had got their boats to the land, they gave up everything and went after him.
12 Comme Jésus était dans une ville, un homme tout couvert de lèpre, l'ayant vu, se jeta le visage contre terre et lui adressa, tout suppliant, ces paroles: Seigneur, si tu le veux, tu peux me rendre net!
And it came about that while he was in one of the towns, there was a leper there: and when he saw Jesus he went down on his face in prayer to him, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.
13 Jésus étendit la main, le toucha et dit: Je le veux, sois net! Au même instant, la lèpre le quitta.
And he put out his hand to him and said, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away his disease went from him.
14 Jésus lui défendit de le dire à personne. Mais va, — lui dit-il, — montre-toi au sacrificateur, et offre pour ta purification ce que Moïse a prescrit, afin que cela leur serve de témoignage.
And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness to them.
15 Sa renommée se répandait de plus en plus, et une foule de gens se rassemblaient pour l'entendre et pour être guéris de leurs maladies.
But news of him went out all the more, in every direction, and great numbers of people came together to give hearing to his words and to be made well from their diseases.
16 Mais lui se retirait dans les déserts, et il priait.
But he went away by himself to a waste place for prayer.
17 Un jour que Jésus enseignait, des pharisiens et des docteurs de la loi, venus de tous les villages de la Galilée, de la Judée et de Jérusalem, s'étaient assis près de lui; et la puissance du Seigneur lui faisait opérer des guérisons.
And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.
18 Alors il survint des gens qui portaient sur un lit un paralytique, et ils cherchaient à le faire entrer et à le mettre devant Jésus.
And some men had with them, on a bed, a man who was ill, without power of moving; and they made attempts to get him in and put him before Jesus.
19 Comme ils ne savaient par où le faire passer, à cause de la foule, ils montèrent sur le toit; et, ayant enlevé les tuiles, ils le descendirent avec son petit lit, au milieu de l'assemblée, devant Jésus.
And because of the mass of people, there was no way to get him in; so they went up on the top of the house and let him down through the roof, on his bed, into the middle in front of Jesus.
20 Voyant leur foi, Jésus dit: Mon ami, tes péchés te sont pardonnés!
And seeing their faith he said, Man, you have forgiveness for your sins.
21 Alors les scribes et les pharisiens se mirent à raisonner et à dire: Quel est celui-ci, qui profère des blasphèmes? Qui peut pardonner les péchés, que Dieu seul?
And the scribes and Pharisees were having an argument, saying, Who is this, who has no respect for God? who is able to give forgiveness for sins, but God only?
22 Mais Jésus, connaissant leurs pensées, prit la parole et leur dit: Quel raisonnement faites-vous dans vos coeurs?
But Jesus, who had knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 Lequel est le plus aisé, de dire: Tes péchés te sont pardonnés; ou de dire: Lève-toi et marche?
Which is the simpler: to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
24 Or, afin que vous sachiez que le Fils de l'homme a sur la terre le pouvoir de pardonner les péchés: Je te l'ordonne, — dit-il au paralytique, — lève-toi, emporte ton lit, et va dans ta maison.
But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (he said to the man who was ill, ) I say to you, Get up, and take up your bed, and go into your house.
25 Et à l'instant, le paralytique se leva en leur présence. Il emporta le lit sur lequel il avait été couché et s'en alla dans sa maison, donnant gloire à Dieu.
And straight away he got up before them, and took up his bed and went away to his house giving praise to God.
26 Tous furent transportés d'enthousiasme; ils glorifiaient Dieu, et, remplis de crainte, ils disaient: Nous avons vu aujourd'hui des choses extraordinaires!
And wonder overcame them all, and they gave glory to God; and they were full of fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.
27 Après cela, Jésus sortit; et il vit un péager, nommé Lévi, assis au bureau du péage. Il lui dit: Suis-moi!
And after these things he went out, and saw Levi, a tax-farmer, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and said to him, Come after me.
28 Et Lévi, quittant tout, se leva et le suivit.
And giving up his business, he got up and went after him.
29 Lévi lui donna un grand festin dans sa maison, et un grand nombre de péagers et d'autres personnes étaient à table avec eux.
And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and a great number of tax-farmers and others were seated at table with them.
30 Les pharisiens et leurs scribes murmuraient et disaient à ses disciples: Pourquoi mangez-vous et buvez-vous avec des péagers et des pécheurs?
And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?
31 Jésus, prenant la parole, leur dit: Ce ne sont pas ceux qui sont en bonne santé qui ont besoin de médecin, mais ceux qui se portent mal.
And Jesus, answering, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
32 Je ne suis pas venu appeler à la repentance les justes, mais les pécheurs.
I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins.
33 Ils lui dirent: Les disciples de Jean jeûnent souvent et font des prières, de même que ceux des pharisiens, au lieu que les tiens mangent et boivent.
And they said to him, The disciples of John frequently go without food, and make prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your disciples take food and drink.
34 Il leur répondit: Pouvez-vous faire jeûner les amis de l'époux, pendant que l'époux est avec eux?
And Jesus said, Are you able to make the friends of the newly-married man go without food when he is with them?
35 Les jours viendront où l'époux leur sera ôté; alors ils jeûneront dans ces jours-là!
But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.
36 Il leur dit encore cette parabole: Personne n'enlève une pièce à un vêtement neuf pour la mettre à un vieux vêtement. Autrement, on déchire le vêtement neuf sans que la pièce neuve s'accorde avec le vêtement vieux.
And he said to them, in a story, No man takes a bit of cloth from a new coat and puts it on to an old coat, for so the new coat would be damaged and the bit from the new would not go well with the old.
37 De même, personne ne met du vin nouveau dans de vieilles outres; autrement, le vin nouveau rompra les outres; il se répandra, et les outres seront perdues.
And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins, for fear that the skins will be burst by the new wine, and the wine be let out, and the skins come to destruction.
38 Mais le vin nouveau doit être mis dans des outres neuves.
But new wine has to be put into new wine-skins.
39 De même aussi, celui qui boit du vin vieux ne demande pas du vin nouveau; car il dit: C'est le vieux qui est bon.
And no man, having had old wine, has any desire for new, for he says, The old is better.
