| 1 | Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, | Ainsi donc, nous aussi, étant environnés d'une si grande nuée de témoins, rejetant tout fardeau et le péché qui nous enveloppe aisément, courons avec constance dans l'arène qui nous est ouverte, | Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, |
| 2 | Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. | Regardant à Jésus, le chef et le consommateur de la foi, qui, méprisant l'ignominie, à cause de la joie qui lui était proposée, a souffert la croix, et s'est assis à la droite du trône de Dieu. | looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. |
| 3 | For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. | C'est pourquoi, considérez celui qui a souffert de la part des pécheurs une si grande contradiction, afin que vous ne succombiez pas, en laissant défaillir vos âmes. | For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls. |
| 4 | Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. | Vous n'avez pas encore résisté jusqu'au sang, en combattant contre le péché. | Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin: |
| 5 | And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: | Et vous avez oublié l'exhortation qui vous est adressée, comme à des fils: Mon fils, ne méprise pas le châtiment du Seigneur, et ne perds point courage, lorsqu'il te reprend; | and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him; |
| 6 | For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. | Car le Seigneur châtie celui qu'il aime, et il frappe de ses verges tout fils qu'il reconnaît. | For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. |
| 7 | If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? | Si vous souffrez le châtiment, Dieu se présente à vous comme à des fils; car quel est le fils que son père ne châtie pas? | It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom [his] father chasteneth not? |
| 8 | But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. | Mais si vous êtes exempts du châtiment auquel tous ont part, vous êtes donc des bâtards, non des fils légitimes. | But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. |
| 9 | Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? | D'ailleurs nos pères selon la chair nous ont châtiés, et nous les avons respectés: ne serons-nous pas beaucoup plus soumis au Père des esprits, pour avoir la vie? | Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? |
| 10 | For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. | Car nos pères nous châtiaient pour peu de jours, comme ils le trouvaient bon; mais Dieu nous châtie pour notre avantage, afin que nous participions à sa sainteté. | For they indeed for a few days chastened [us] as seemed good to them; but he for [our] profit, that [we] may be partakers of his holiness. |
| 11 | Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. | Il est vrai que tout châtiment ne paraît pas sur le moment un sujet de joie, mais de tristesse; mais ensuite il produit un fruit paisible de justice pour ceux qui ont été ainsi exercés. | All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, [even the fruit] of righteousness. |
| 12 | Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; | Fortifiez donc vos mains languissantes, et vos genoux affaiblis; | Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees; |
| 13 | And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. | Et faites à vos pieds un chemin droit, afin que ce qui cloche ne se dévoie pas, mais plutôt qu'il soit guéri. | and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed. |
| 14 | Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: | Recherchez la paix avec tous, et la sanctification, sans laquelle personne ne verra le Seigneur; | Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: |
| 15 | Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; | Veillant à ce que personne ne se prive de la grâce de Dieu; à ce qu'aucune racine d'amertume poussant dehors, ne vous trouble, et que plusieurs n'en soient infectés; | looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby the many be defiled; |
| 16 | Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. | A ce qu'il n'y ait point de fornicateur, ni de profane comme Ésaü, qui, pour un mets, vendit son droit d'aînesse. | lest [there be] any fornication, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright. |
| 17 | For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. | Car vous savez que voulant, même après cela, hériter de la bénédiction, il fut rejeté, car il n'obtint pas un changement de résolution, quoiqu'il le demandât avec larmes. | For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind [in his father,] though he sought is diligently with tears. |
| 18 | For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, | Or, vous ne vous êtes pas approchés de la montagne qu'on pouvait toucher avec la main, et qui était embrasée par le feu, ni de la nuée épaisse, ni des ténèbres, ni de la tempête, | For ye are not come unto [a mount] that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, |
| 19 | And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: | Ni du retentissement de la trompette, ni du bruit des paroles, qui fut tel que ceux qui l'entendirent, prièrent que la parole ne leur fût plus adressée. | and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them; |
| 20 | (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: | Car ils ne pouvaient supporter cet ordre: Si même une bête touche la montagne, elle sera lapidée, ou percée d'un dard. | for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned; |
| 21 | And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) | Et ce qui paraissait était si terrible, que Moïse dit: Je suis épouvanté et tout tremblant. | and so fearful was the appearance, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake: |
| 22 | But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, | Mais vous vous êtes approchés de la montagne de Sion, de la cité du Dieu vivant, de la Jérusalem céleste, des milliers d'anges, | but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels, |
| 23 | To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, | De l'assemblée et de l'Église des premiers-nés, inscrits dans les cieux, d'un juge qui est Dieu de tous, des esprits des justes parvenus à la perfection, | to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, |
| 24 | And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things that that of Abel. | Et de Jésus, Médiateur de la nouvelle alliance, et du sang de l'aspersion, qui prononce de meilleures choses que celui d'Abel. | and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than [that of] Abel. |
| 25 | See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: | Prenez garde de ne pas mépriser celui qui vous parle; car si ceux qui méprisaient celui qui les avertissait sur la terre, de la part de Dieu, n'échappèrent point, nous échapperons encore moins, nous qui nous détournons de celui qui parle des cieux; | See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned [them] on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape] who turn away from him that [warneth] from heaven: |
| 26 | Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. | Dont la voix ébranla alors la terre, et qui maintenant a fait cette promesse en disant: Encore une fois j'ébranlerai non seulement la terre, mais aussi le ciel. | whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. |
| 27 | And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. | Or, ces mots: Encore une fois, marquent l'abolition des choses muables, en tant que faites, pour que les immuables subsistent. | And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. |
| 28 | Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: | C'est pourquoi, saisissant le royaume inébranlable, conservons la grâce, afin que par elle nous rendions notre culte à Dieu d'une manière qui lui soit agréable, avec respect et crainte; | Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: |
| 29 | For our God is a consuming fire. | Car notre Dieu est aussi un feu dévorant. | for our God is a consuming fire. |
