| 1 | Car nous savons que, si notre maison terrestre qui n'est qu'une tente, est détruite, nous avons un édifice de la part de Dieu, une maison qui n'est pas faite de main, éternelle, dans les cieux. | For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. | For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. |
| 2 | Car aussi, dans cette tente, nous gémissons, désirant avec ardeur d'avoir revêtu notre domicile qui est du ciel, | For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: | For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven: |
| 3 | si toutefois, même en étant vêtus, nous ne sommes pas trouvés nus. | If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. | if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. |
| 4 | Car aussi nous qui sommes dans la tente, nous gémissons, étant chargés; non pas que nous désirions d'être dépouillés, mais nous désirons d'être revêtus, afin que ce qui est mortel soit absorbé par la vie. | For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. | For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life. |
| 5 | Or celui qui nous a formés à cela même, c'est Dieu, qui nous a aussi donné les arrhes de l'Esprit. | Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. | Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit. |
| 6 | Nous avons donc toujours confiance, et nous savons qu'étant présents dans le corps, nous sommes absents du Seigneur, | Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: | Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord |
| 7 | car nous marchons par la foi, non par la vue; | (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) | (for we walk by faith, not by sight); |
| 8 | nous avons, dis-je, de la confiance, et nous aimons mieux être absents du corps et présents avec le Seigneur. | We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. | we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. |
| 9 | C'est pourquoi aussi, que nous soyons présents ou que nous soyons absents, nous nous appliquons avec ardeur à lui être agréables; | Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. | Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him. |
| 10 | car il faut que nous soyons tous manifestés devant le tribunal du Christ, afin que chacun reçoive les choses accomplies dans le corps, selon ce qu'il aura fait, soit bien, soit mal. | For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. | For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad. |
| 11 | Connaissant donc combien le Seigneur doit être craint, nous persuadons les hommes, mais nous nous avons été manifestés à Dieu, et j'espère aussi que nous avons étés manifestés dans vos consciences. | Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. | Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences. |
| 12 | Nous ne nous recommandons pas de nouveau à vous, mais nous vous donnons occasion de vous glorifier de nous, afin que vous ayez de quoi répondre à ceux qui se glorifient extérieurement et non pas du coeur. | For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. | We are not again commending ourselves unto you, but [speak] as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have wherewith to answer them that glory in appearance, and not in heart. |
| 13 | Car si nous sommes hors de nous-mêmes, c'est pour Dieu; si nous sommes de sens rassis, c'est pour vous. | For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. | For whether we are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you. |
| 14 | Car l'amour du Christ nous étreint, en ce que nous avons jugé ceci, que si un est mort pour tous, tous donc sont morts, | For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: | For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died; |
| 15 | et qu'il est mort pour tous, afin que ceux qui vivent ne vivent plus pour eux-mêmes, mais pour celui qui pour eux est mort et a été ressuscité. | And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. | and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again. |
| 16 | En sorte que nous, désormais, nous ne connaissons personne selon la chair; et, si même nous avons connu Christ selon la chair, toutefois maintenant nous ne le connaissons plus ainsi. | Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. | Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more. |
| 17 | En sorte que si quelqu'un est en Christ, c'est une nouvelle création: les choses vieilles sont passées; voici, toutes choses sont faites nouvelles; | Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. | Wherefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. |
| 18 | et toutes sont du Dieu qui nous a réconciliés avec lui-même par Christ, et qui nous a donné le service de la réconciliation, | And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; | But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation; |
| 19 | savoir, que Dieu était en Christ, réconciliant le monde avec lui-même, ne leur imputant pas leurs fautes et mettant en nous la parole de la réconciliation. | To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. | to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. |
| 20 | Nous sommes donc ambassadeurs pour Christ, - Dieu, pour ainsi dire, exhortant par notre moyen; nous supplions pour Christ: Soyez réconciliés avec Dieu! | Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. | We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. |
| 21 | Celui qui n'a pas connu le péché, il l'a fait péché pour nous, afin que nous devinssions justice de Dieu en lui. | For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. | Him who knew no sin he made [to be] sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. |
