1 I l arriva, un jour de sabbat appelé second-premier, que Jésus traversait des champs de blé. Ses disciples arrachaient des épis et les mangeaient, après les avoir froissés dans leurs mains.

One Sabbath while Jesus was passing through the fields of standing grain, it occurred that His disciples picked some of the spikes and ate, rubbing it out in their hands.

2 Q uelques pharisiens leur dirent: Pourquoi faites-vous ce qu'il n'est pas permis de faire pendant le sabbat?

But some of the Pharisees asked them, Why are you doing what is not permitted to be done on the Sabbath days?

3 J ésus leur répondit: N'avez-vous pas lu ce que fit David, lorsqu'il eut faim, lui et ceux qui étaient avec lui;

And Jesus replied to them, saying, Have you never so much as read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him?—

4 c omment il entra dans la maison de Dieu, prit les pains de proposition, en mangea, et en donna à ceux qui étaient avec lui, bien qu'il ne soit permis qu'aux sacrificateurs de les manger?

How he went into the house of God and took and ate the loaves of the showbread, which it is not permitted for any except only the priests to eat, and also gave to those with him?

5 E t il leur dit: Le Fils de l'homme est maître même du sabbat.

And He said to them, The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.

6 I l arriva, un autre jour de sabbat, que Jésus entra dans la synagogue, et qu'il enseignait. Il s'y trouvait un homme dont la main droite était sèche.

And it occurred on another Sabbath that when He went into the synagogue and taught, a man was present whose right hand was withered.

7 L es scribes et les pharisiens observaient Jésus, pour voir s'il ferait une guérison le jour du sabbat: c'était afin d'avoir sujet de l'accuser.

And the scribes and the Pharisees kept watching Jesus to see whether He would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they might get accusation against Him.

8 M ais il connaissait leurs pensées, et il dit à l'homme qui avait la main sèche: Lève-toi, et tiens-toi là au milieu. Il se leva, et se tint debout.

But He was aware all along of their thoughts, and He said to the man with the withered hand, Come and stand here in the midst. And he arose and stood there.

9 E t Jésus leur dit: Je vous demande s'il est permis, le jour du sabbat, de faire du bien ou de faire du mal, de sauver une personne ou de la tuer.

Then Jesus said to them, I ask you, is it lawful and right on the Sabbath to do good '> so that someone derives advantage from it] or to do evil, to save a life '> make a soul safe] or to destroy it?

10 A lors, promenant ses regards sur eux tous, il dit à l'homme: Étends ta main. Il le fit, et sa main fut guérie.

Then He glanced around at them all and said to the man, Stretch out your hand! And he did so, and his hand was fully restored like the other one.

11 I ls furent remplis de fureur, et ils se consultèrent pour savoir ce qu'ils feraient à Jésus.

But they were filled with lack of understanding and senseless rage and discussed (consulted) with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12 E n ce temps-là, Jésus se rendit sur la montagne pour prier, et il passa toute la nuit à prier Dieu.

Now in those days it occurred that He went up into a mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.

13 Q uand le jour parut, il appela ses disciples, et il en choisit douze, auxquels il donna le nom d'apôtres:

And when it was day, He summoned His disciples and selected from them twelve, whom He named apostles (special messengers):

14 S imon, qu'il nomma Pierre; André, son frère; Jacques; Jean; Philippe; Barthélemy;

They were Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

15 M atthieu; Thomas; Jacques, fils d'Alphée; Simon, appelé le zélote;

And Matthew and Thomas; and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

16 J ude, fils de Jacques; et Judas Iscariot, qui devint traître.

And Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor (a treacherous, basely faithless person).

17 I l descendit avec eux, et s'arrêta sur un plateau, où se trouvaient une foule de ses disciples et une multitude de peuple de toute la Judée, de Jérusalem, et de la contrée maritime de Tyr et de Sidon. Ils étaient venus pour l'entendre, et pour être guéris de leurs maladies.

And Jesus came down with them and took His stand on a level spot, with a great crowd of His disciples and a vast throng of people from all over Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to listen to Him and to be cured of their diseases—

18 C eux qui étaient tourmentés par des esprits impurs étaient guéris.

Even those who were disturbed and troubled with unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

19 E t toute la foule cherchait à le toucher, parce qu'une force sortait de lui et les guérissait tous.

And all the multitude were seeking to touch Him, for healing power was all the while going forth from Him and curing them all '> saving them from severe illnesses or calamities].

20 A lors Jésus, levant les yeux sur ses disciples, dit: Heureux vous qui êtes pauvres, car le royaume de Dieu est à vous!

And solemnly lifting up His eyes on His disciples, He said: Blessed (happy— with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you poor and lowly and afflicted (destitute of wealth, influence, position, and honor), for the kingdom of God is yours!

21 H eureux vous qui avez faim maintenant, car vous serez rassasiés! Heureux vous qui pleurez maintenant, car vous serez dans la joie!

Blessed (happy— with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you who hunger and seek with eager desire now, for you shall be filled and completely satisfied! Blessed (happy— with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you who weep and sob now, for you shall laugh!

22 H eureux serez-vous, lorsque les hommes vous haïront, lorsqu'on vous chassera, vous outragera, et qu'on rejettera votre nom comme infâme, à cause du Fils de l'homme!

Blessed (happy— with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you when people despise (hate) you, and when they exclude and excommunicate you and revile and denounce you and defame and cast out and spurn your name as evil (wicked) on account of the Son of Man.

23 R éjouissez-vous en ce jour-là et tressaillez d'allégresse, parce que votre récompense sera grande dans le ciel; car c'est ainsi que leurs pères traitaient les prophètes.

Rejoice and be glad at such a time and exult and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is rich and great and strong and intense and abundant in heaven; for even so their forefathers treated the prophets.

24 M ais, malheur à vous, riches, car vous avez votre consolation!

But woe to (alas for) you who are rich ( abounding in material resources), for you already are receiving your consolation (the solace and sense of strengthening and cheer that come from prosperity) and have taken and enjoyed your comfort in full.

25 M alheur à vous qui êtes rassasiés, car vous aurez faim! Malheur à vous qui riez maintenant, car vous serez dans le deuil et dans les larmes!

Woe to (alas for) you who are full now (completely filled, luxuriously gorged and satiated), for you shall hunger and suffer want! Woe to (alas for) you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep and wail!

26 M alheur, lorsque tous les hommes diront du bien de vous, car c'est ainsi qu'agissaient leurs pères à l'égard des faux prophètes!

Woe to (alas for) you when everyone speaks fairly and handsomely of you and praises you, for even so their forefathers did to the false prophets.

27 M ais je vous dis, à vous qui m'écoutez: Aimez vos ennemis, faites du bien à ceux qui vous haïssent,

But I say to you who are listening now to Me: '> in order to heed, make it a practice to] love your enemies, treat well (do good to, act nobly toward) those who detest you and pursue you with hatred,

28 b énissez ceux qui vous maudissent, priez pour ceux qui vous maltraitent.

Invoke blessings upon and pray for the happiness of those who curse you, implore God’s blessing (favor) upon those who abuse you.

29 S i quelqu'un te frappe sur une joue, présente-lui aussi l'autre. Si quelqu'un prend ton manteau, ne l'empêche pas de prendre encore ta tunique.

To the one who strikes you on the jaw or cheek, offer the other jaw or cheek also; and from him who takes away your outer garment, do not withhold your undergarment as well.

30 D onne à quiconque te demande, et ne réclame pas ton bien à celui qui s'en empare.

Give away to everyone who begs of you '> in want of necessities], and of him who takes away from you your goods, do not demand or require them back again.

31 C e que vous voulez que les hommes fassent pour vous, faites-le de même pour eux.

And as you would like and desire that men would do to you, do exactly so to them.

32 S i vous aimez ceux qui vous aiment, quel gré vous en saura-t-on? Les pécheurs aussi aiment ceux qui les aiment.

If you love those who love you, what quality of credit and thanks is that to you? For even the sinners love their lovers (those who love them).

33 S i vous faites du bien à ceux qui vous font du bien, quel gré vous en saura-t-on? Les pécheurs aussi agissent de même.

And if you are kind and good and do favors to and benefit those who are kind and good and do favors to and benefit you, what quality of credit and thanks is that to you? For even the preeminently sinful do the same.

34 E t si vous prêtez à ceux de qui vous espérez recevoir, quel gré vous en saura-t-on? Les pécheurs aussi prêtent aux pécheurs, afin de recevoir la pareille.

And if you lend money at interest to those from whom you hope to receive, what quality of credit and thanks is that to you? Even notorious sinners lend money at interest to sinners, so as to recover as much again.

35 M ais aimez vos ennemis, faites du bien, et prêtez sans rien espérer. Et votre récompense sera grande, et vous serez fils du Très Haut, car il est bon pour les ingrats et pour les méchants.

But love your enemies and be kind and do good '> so that someone derives benefit from them] and lend, expecting and hoping for nothing in return but considering nothing as lost and despairing of no one; and then your recompense (your reward) will be great (rich, strong, intense, and abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind and charitable and good to the ungrateful and the selfish and wicked.

36 S oyez donc miséricordieux, comme votre Père est miséricordieux.

So be merciful (sympathetic, tender, responsive, and compassionate) even as your Father is.

37 N e jugez point, et vous ne serez point jugés; ne condamnez point, et vous ne serez point condamnés; absolvez, et vous serez absous.

Judge not, and you will not be judged; do not condemn and pronounce guilty, and you will not be condemned and pronounced guilty; acquit and forgive and release (give up resentment, let it drop), and you will be acquitted and forgiven and released.

38 D onnez, et il vous sera donné: on versera dans votre sein une bonne mesure, serrée, secouée et qui déborde; car on vous mesurera avec la mesure dont vous vous serez servis.

Give, and will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into the bosom. For with the measure you deal out, it will be measured back to you.

39 I l leur dit aussi cette parabole: Un aveugle peut-il conduire un aveugle? Ne tomberont-ils pas tous deux dans une fosse?

He further told them a proverb: Can a blind guide and direct a blind ? Will they not both stumble into a ditch or a hole in the ground?

40 L e disciple n'est pas plus que le maître; mais tout disciple accompli sera comme son maître.

A pupil is not superior to his teacher, but everyone completely trained (readjusted, restored, set to rights, and perfected) will be like his teacher.

41 P ourquoi vois-tu la paille qui est dans l'oeil de ton frère, et n'aperçois-tu pas la poutre qui est dans ton oeil?

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye but do not notice or consider the beam that is in your own eye?

42 O u comment peux-tu dire à ton frère: Frère, laisse-moi ôter la paille qui est dans ton oeil, toi qui ne vois pas la poutre qui est dans le tien? Hypocrite, ôte premièrement la poutre de ton oeil, et alors tu verras comment ôter la paille qui est dans l'oeil de ton frère.

Or how can you say to your brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You actor (pretender, hypocrite)! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

43 C e n'est pas un bon arbre qui porte du mauvais fruit, ni un mauvais arbre qui porte du bon fruit.

For there is no good (healthy) tree that bears decayed (worthless, stale) fruit, nor on the other hand does a decayed (worthless, sickly) tree bear good fruit.

44 C ar chaque arbre se connaît à son fruit. On ne cueille pas des figues sur des épines, et l'on ne vendange pas des raisins sur des ronces.

For each tree is known and identified by its own fruit; for figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor is a cluster of grapes picked from a bramblebush.

45 L 'homme bon tire de bonnes choses du bon trésor de son coeur, et le méchant tire de mauvaises choses de son mauvais trésor; car c'est de l'abondance du coeur que la bouche parle.

The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good), and the evil man out of the evil storehouse brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically evil); for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart his mouth speaks.

46 P ourquoi m'appelez-vous Seigneur, Seigneur! et ne faites-vous pas ce que je dis?

Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I tell you?

47 J e vous montrerai à qui est semblable tout homme qui vient à moi, entend mes paroles, et les met en pratique.

For everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words and does them, I will show you what he is like:

48 I l est semblable à un homme qui, bâtissant une maison, a creusé, creusé profondément, et a posé le fondement sur le roc. Une inondation est venue, et le torrent s'est jeté contre cette maison, sans pouvoir l'ébranler, parce qu'elle était bien bâtie.

He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had been securely built or founded on a rock.

49 M ais celui qui entend, et ne met pas en pratique, est semblable à un homme qui a bâti une maison sur la terre, sans fondement. Le torrent s'est jeté contre elle: aussitôt elle est tombée, et la ruine de cette maison a été grande.

But he who merely hears and does not practice doing My words is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it collapsed and fell, and the breaking and ruin of that house was great.
