| 1 | Je veux, en effet, que vous sachiez combien est grand le combat que je soutiens pour vous, et pour ceux qui sont à Laodicée, et pour tous ceux qui n'ont pas vu mon visage en la chair, | For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; | For I would have you know how greatly I strive for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; |
| 2 | afin qu'ils aient le coeur rempli de consolation, qu'ils soient unis dans la charité, et enrichis d'une pleine intelligence pour connaître le mystère de Dieu, savoir Christ, | That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; | that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, [even] Christ, |
| 3 | mystère dans lequel sont cachés tous les trésors de la sagesse et de la science. | In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. | in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden. |
| 4 | Je dis cela afin que personne ne vous trompe par des discours séduisants. | And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. | This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech. |
| 5 | Car, si je suis absent de corps, je suis avec vous en esprit, voyant avec joie le bon ordre qui règne parmi vous, et la fermeté de votre foi en Christ. | For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. | For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. |
| 6 | Ainsi donc, comme vous avez reçu le Seigneur Jésus Christ, marchez en lui, | As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: | As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk in him, |
| 7 | étant enracinés et fondés en lui, et affermis par la foi, d'après les instructions qui vous ont été données, et abondez en actions de grâces. | Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. | rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. |
| 8 | Prenez garde que personne ne fasse de vous sa proie par la philosophie et par une vaine tromperie, s'appuyant sur la tradition des hommes, sur les rudiments du monde, et non sur Christ. | Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. | Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ: |
| 9 | Car en lui habite corporellement toute la plénitude de la divinité. | For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. | for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, |
| 10 | Vous avez tout pleinement en lui, qui est le chef de toute domination et de toute autorité. | And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: | and in him ye are made full, who is the head of all principality and power: |
| 11 | Et c'est en lui que vous avez été circoncis d'une circoncision que la main n'a pas faite, mais de la circoncision de Christ, qui consiste dans le dépouillement du corps de la chair : | In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: | in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; |
| 12 | ayant été ensevelis avec lui par le baptême, vous êtes aussi ressuscités en lui et avec lui, par la foi en la puissance de Dieu, qui l'a ressuscité des morts. | Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. | having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. |
| 13 | Vous qui étiez morts par vos offenses et par l'incirconcision de votre chair, il vous a rendus à la vie avec lui, en nous faisant grâce pour toutes nos offenses ; | And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; | And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, [I say], did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses; |
| 14 | il a effacé l'acte dont les ordonnances nous condamnaient et qui subsistait contre nous, et il l'a détruit en le clouant à la croix ; | Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; | having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross; |
| 15 | il a dépouillé les dominations et les autorités, et les a livrées publiquement en spectacle, en triomphant d'elles par la croix. | And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. | having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. |
| 16 | Que personne donc ne vous juge au sujet du manger ou du boire, ou au sujet d'une fête, d'une nouvelle lune, ou des sabbats : | Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: | Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day: |
| 17 | c'était l'ombre des choses à venir, mais le corps est en Christ. | Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. | which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ`s. |
| 18 | Qu'aucun homme, sous une apparence d'humilité et par un culte des anges, ne vous ravisse à son gré le prix de la course, tandis qu'il s'abandonne à ses visions et qu'il est enflé d'un vain orgueil par ses pensées charnelles, | Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, | Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, |
| 19 | sans s'attacher au chef, dont tout le corps, assisté et solidement assemblé par des jointures et des liens, tire l'accroissement que Dieu donne. | And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. | and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increasing with the increase of God. |
| 20 | Si vous êtes morts avec Christ aux rudiments du monde, pourquoi, comme si vous viviez dans le monde, vous impose-t-on ces préceptes : | Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, | If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, |
| 21 | Ne prends pas ! ne goûte pas ! ne touche pas ! | (Touch not; taste not; handle not; | Handle not, nor taste, nor touch |
| 22 | préceptes qui tous deviennent pernicieux par l'abus, et qui ne sont fondés que sur les ordonnances et les doctrines des hommes ? | Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? | (all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men? |
| 23 | Ils ont, à la vérité, une apparence de sagesse, en ce qu'ils indiquent un culte volontaire, de l'humilité, et le mépris du corps, mais ils sont sans aucun mérite et contribuent à la satisfaction de la chair. | Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. | Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and severity to the body; [but are] not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh. |
