Hebrews 10
1 Just like a shadow vaguely represents the thing that it is a shadow of, the laws that God [gave Moses] only poorly represent [MET] the good things that were to come later. Those laws were not all the good things themselves that God has promised. So, by offering the same kinds of sacrifices every year, people [PRS] who approach God can never become (perfect/all that God intends them to be).
En effet, la loi, n'ayant que l'ombre des biens à venir, et non la forme réelle des choses, ne peut jamais, par les mêmes sacrifices qu'on offre chaque année à perpétuité, amener à la perfection ceux qui s'approchent ainsi de Dieu.
2 If God had removed the guilt for having sinned of those who brought the sacrifices, they would not feel that they were still guilty. So they would certainly have stopped offering those sacrifices! [RHQ]
Autrement, n'aurait-on pas cessé de les offrir, puisque ceux qui rendent ce culte, une fois purifiés, n'auraient plus eu leur conscience chargée de péchés?
3 But rather, the fact that they offer those sacrifices each year reminds them that they are still guilty for their sins.
Au contraire, le souvenir des péchés est renouvelé chaque année par ces sacrifices.
4 The principle is that blood of animals such as bulls or goats can never remove the guilt of those who have sinned.
Car il est impossible que le sang des taureaux et des boucs ôte les péchés.
5 So, as [Christ] was coming into the world, he spoke [to his Father about offering himself as a sacrifice for people’s sin. The Psalmist wrote this that Christ said]: It is not sacrifices and offerings that you [(sg)] have wanted, but you have prepared for me a body [to serve you].
C'est pourquoi le Christ, entrant dans le monde, dit: «Tu n'as voulu ni sacrifice, ni offrande, mais tu m'as formé un corps.
6 Animals that are completely burned up as sacrifices have not pleased you, and [other sacrifices that atone] for those who have sinned have not pleased you.
Tu n'as agréé ni les holocaustes, ni les offrandes pour le péché.
7 Then [because of this], I said, “My God, (listen!/here I am!) I have come [here] in order to do what you want me [to do], [just like] has been written {as they have written} about me in the Scriptures.”
Alors j'ai dit: Je viens — il est parlé de moi dans le Livre — oui, je viens, ô Dieu, pour faire ta volonté.»
8 First, [Christ] said, “It is not sacrifices and offerings and animals that [the priests] have completely burned up and other [offerings to atone for] those who have sinned that you have really wanted. They have not pleased you.” [Christ said that even though] those things were offered {they offered all those things} according to the laws [God gave Moses]!
Après avoir dit d'abord: «Tu n'as voulu, tu n'as agréé ni sacrifices, ni offrandes, ni holocaustes, ni oblations pour le péché», — ce qui pourtant est prescrit par la loi, —
9 Then, [concerning his offering himself as a sacrifice to atone for people’s sin], he said, “Listen! I have come [here] to do what you want me [to do]!” In that way Christ got rid of the first [way of atoning for sin], in order to establish the second [way of atoning for] sin.
il ajoute: «Me voici: Je viens pour faire ta volonté.» Il abolit ainsi le premier ordre de sacrifices pour établir le second.
10 Because of Jesus Christ [doing what God] wanted him to do, we have been dedicated to {[he] has set us apart for} God by his offering his own body only once [as a sacrifice, a sacrifice that will not need to be repeated].
C'est en vertu de cette volonté que nous avons été sanctifiés, par le sacrifice que Jésus-Christ a fait, une fois pour toutes, de son propre corps.
11 As every [Jewish] priest stands daily [in front of the altar], he performs rituals and offers the same kind of sacrifices that could never remove [the guilt from anyone who] sinned [MTY].
De plus, tandis que tout sacrificateur se présente, chaque jour, pour faire le service et offrir plusieurs fois les mêmes sacrifices qui ne peuvent jamais ôter les péchés,
12 But [Christ] offered a sacrifice that [will be adequate] forever, and he offered it only one time! Then he sat down [to rule] with God at the place of highest honor [MTY].
celui-ci, après avoir offert un seul sacrifice pour les péchés, s'est assis pour toujours à la droite de Dieu,
13 From now on, he is waiting for [God] to completely subdue [all] Christ’s enemies [MTY].
attendant désormais que ses ennemis soient mis sous ses pieds, pour lui servir de marchepied.
14 By offering himself once, he has provided that those whom [God] has set apart will be eternally made (perfect/all that God intends them to be).
En effet, par une seule oblation, il a amené pour toujours à la perfection ceux qui sont sanctifiés.
15 The Holy Spirit also confirms to us [that this is true]. First the Lord says:
Et c'est aussi ce que nous atteste le Saint-Esprit; car, après avoir dit:
16 When the time [MTY] [when the first covenant that God made] with my people has ended, I will make a new covenant with them [MTY]. I will do like this for them: I will cause them to understand my laws and I will cause them to obey them (OR, enable them to know them sincerely).
«Voici l'alliance que je traiterai avec eux après ces jours-là, dit le Seigneur: Je mettrai mes lois dans leurs coeurs, et je les graverai dans leur esprit», — il ajoute:
17 Then [the Lord said]: [I will forgive them for] their [DOU] sins, and I will [consider] that they are no longer [guilty for] having sinned.
«Et je ne me souviendrai plus de leurs péchés ni de leurs iniquités.»
18 When [God] has forgiven someone’s sins, that person does not [need to make] any more offerings [to atone for his sin]!
Or, là où il y a pardon, il n'est plus besoin d'oblation pour le péché.
19 So, my fellow believers, because we [trust in what Jesus accomplished when] his own blood [flowed for us], we can confidently go into [God’s very presence] that was [symbolized] by the very holy place [in the tent] [MTY].
Ainsi donc, frères, puisque nous avons un libre accès dans le lieu très saint, grâce au sang de Jésus,
20 Jesus enabled us to go into [God’s presence] by making a new and effective way. [Specifically], he [offered] his body [as a sacrifice] for us [in order that nothing would stop us] from entering [God’s presence, just like] [MET] the curtain [of the very holy place prevented people from entering God’s presence].
par le chemin nouveau et vivant qu'il nous a frayé à travers le voile, c'est-à-dire à travers sa propre chair,
21 Christ is a great priest [who rules over us, who are] God’s people [MTY].
et puisque nous avons un grand sacrificateur établi sur la maison de Dieu,
22 [Just like the priests] were sprinkled {[as Moses] sprinkled [the priests]} [with blood] [MET] to symbolize that they were no longer guilty for having sinned, we also no longer are [guilty for having done] evil. [Just like the priests ceremonially] washed their bodies with pure water [to prepare themselves to serve God], we are allowing [God] to continually make us pure. So, we [(inc)] must approach [God] sincerely by confidently trusting [in him].
approchons-nous avec un coeur sincère, avec une foi pleine et entière, le coeur purifié des souillures d'une mauvaise conscience, et le corps lavé d'une eau pure.
23 We must unwaveringly keep holding tight [to what we believe. Since God] faithfully [does all] he promised [to do], we must confidently expect [him to keep doing that].
Retenons fermement la profession de notre espérance, car Celui qui a fait les promesses est fidèle.
24 [Since God] faithfully [does all that] he promised [to do], let us consider how each of us can motivate other believers, in order that [believers] will love each other, and in order that each one will do good things.
Veillons les uns sur les autres pour nous exciter à la charité et aux bonnes oeuvres,
25 We must not stop assembling ourselves [to worship the Lord], as some people have done. Instead, each one of us must encourage/exhort other believers. [Let us do that] even more since we know that the day [that the Lord will return] [MTY] is near.
et n'abandonnons pas nos assemblées, comme quelques-uns ont coutume de faire, mais exhortons-nous les uns les autres, et cela d'autant plus que vous voyez approcher le grand jour.
26 [We(inc) must do those things], because if we deliberately and habitually sin after we have known the true [message about Christ], no other sacrifice will remove our guilt for having sinned in that way.
En effet, si nous péchons volontairement, après avoir reçu la connaissance de la vérité, il ne reste plus de sacrifice pour les péchés,
27 Instead, we must fearfully expect that [God will] judge and angrily [punish] his enemies in a furious fire [MET].
mais seulement la terrible attente du jugement et le feu ardent, qui doit dévorer les rebelles.
28 Everyone who rejected the laws [that God gave] Moses was mercilessly killed when [at least] two or three people testified that they had done that.
Celui qui a violé la loi de Moïse, meurt sans miséricorde, sur la déposition de deux ou trois témoins.
29 [That was severe punishment]. But [Christ] is (God’s Son/the man who is also God). His blood, by means of which [he put into effect] the new covenant, is sacred. Because of [Christ’s] [MTY] blood [flowing for us when he died], [God] freed us from our guilt. So, you can be sure [RHQ] that anyone who shows contempt for [those truths] and who insults the Spirit of God, the one who acts with kindness toward us in a way we do not deserve, deserves to be punished even worse than [those Israelis were punished] [MET]!
Ne pensez-vous pas qu'il sera jugé digne d'un châtiment bien plus sévère, celui qui aura foulé aux pieds le Fils de Dieu, qui aura tenu pour vil le sang de l'alliance par lequel il a été sanctifié, et qui aura outragé l'Esprit de la grâce?
30 [We can be sure of that] (OR, [need to think about that carefully]) since we know that God said, “I myself will get revenge on those who sinned, and I will punish them as they deserve [DOU].” [Moses wrote], “The Lord will judge his people.”
Car nous connaissons celui qui a dit: «C'est à moi qu'appartient la vengeance; c'est moi qui rétribuerai», — dit le Seigneur.
31 It will be a terrible thing if God who is all-powerful [MTY] seizes and punishes you [IDM]!
Et ailleurs: «Le Seigneur jugera son peuple.» C'est une chose terrible que de tomber entre les mains du Dieu vivant!
32 Recall previous times when you [first] understood [MET] [the message about Christ]. You endured a hard struggle, but you [continued to trust him] when you suffered [because you believed in Christ].
Rappelez-vous ces premiers temps, où, après avoir été éclairés, vous avez soutenu un grand combat de souffrances:
33 At times you were publicly insulted {people publicly insulted you} and you suffered {people persecuted you}. But you showed great concern for those who were treated like that.
d'un côté, vous avez été exposés comme en spectacle aux opprobres et aux afflictions, de l'autre, vous avez pris part aux maux de ceux qui subissaient les mêmes traitements.
34 You not only were kind to those who were in prison [because they believed in Christ], but you also accepted it joyfully when [unbelievers] took away your possessions. You accepted it because you yourselves knew very well that you have eternal possessions [in heaven] that are much better [than those that they took from you]!
Car vous avez eu compassion des prisonniers, et vous avez accepté avec joie qu'on vous ravît vos biens, sachant que vous en avez de meilleurs et qui durent toujours.
35 So, do not become discouraged [when they cause you to suffer] {[you are persecuted]}, because [if you continue to trust in God], he will greatly reward you.
N'abandonnez donc pas votre confiance, à laquelle une grande récompense est réservée.
36 You must patiently continue [to trust in him] in order that, because of your doing what God wants you to do, he will give you what he has promised.
Car vous avez besoin de persévérance, afin qu'après avoir fait la volonté de Dieu, vous obteniez ce qui vous a été promis.
37 [You must do that] since [a prophet wrote] in the Scriptures [that God said about the Messiah], In just a short time the one [I promised] would come will surely come; he will not delay coming.
Encore un peu, bien peu de temps, et celui qui doit venir, viendra; il ne tardera point.
38 But those whom I have summoned, who [act] righteously, must continually live trusting in me, because if they, in a cowardly manner, cease [to trust in me], I (will not be pleased/will be angry) with them.
«Et mon juste vivra par la foi; mais s'il se retire, mon âme ne prend point plaisir en lui.»
39 But we are not ones who in a cowardly manner stop [trusting in God], with the result that God will severely punish us. Instead, we are ones who trust in him, with the result that [God] will save us [SYN] eternally.
Pour nous, nous ne sommes pas de ceux qui se retirent pour leur perte, mais de ceux qui gardent la foi pour sauver leur âme.
