< John 18 >

1 When Yeshua [Salvation] had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
Lorsqu’il eut dit ces choses, Jésus alla avec ses disciples de l’autre côté du torrent du Cédron, où se trouvait un jardin, dans lequel il entra, lui et ses disciples.
2 Now Judas [Praised], who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Yeshua [Salvation] often met there with his disciples.
Judas, qui le livrait, connaissait ce lieu, parce que Jésus et ses disciples s’y étaient souvent réunis.
3 Judas [Praised] then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated], came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Judas donc, ayant pris la cohorte, et des huissiers qu’envoyèrent les principaux sacrificateurs et les pharisiens, vint là avec des lanternes, des flambeaux et des armes.
4 Yeshua [Salvation] therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out, and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Jésus, sachant tout ce qui devait lui arriver, s’avança, et leur dit: Qui cherchez-vous?
5 They answered him, “Yeshua [Salvation] of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “I am he.” Judas [Praised] also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Ils lui répondirent: Jésus de Nazareth. Jésus leur dit: C’est moi. Et Judas, qui le livrait, était avec eux.
6 When therefore he said to them, “Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)],” they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Lorsque Jésus leur eut dit: C’est moi, ils reculèrent et tombèrent par terre.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Yeshua [Salvation] of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].”
Il leur demanda de nouveau: Qui cherchez-vous? Et ils dirent: Jésus de Nazareth.
8 Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “I told you that Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)]. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Jésus répondit: Je vous ai dit que c’est moi. Si donc c’est moi que vous cherchez, laissez aller ceux-ci.
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
Il dit cela, afin que s’accomplît la parole qu’il avait dite: Je n’ai perdu aucun de ceux que tu m’as donnés.
10 Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] therefore, having a machaira ·machete, small sword knife·, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Simon Pierre, qui avait une épée, la tira, frappa le serviteur du souverain sacrificateur, et lui coupa l’oreille droite. Ce serviteur s’appelait Malchus.
11 Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to Peter [Rock], “Put the machaira ·machete, small sword knife· into its sheath. The cup which haAbba ·the Father· has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
Jésus dit à Pierre: Remets ton épée dans le fourreau. Ne boirai-je pas la coupe que le Père m’a donnée à boire?
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews [Praisers], seized Yeshua [Salvation] and bound him,
La cohorte, le tribun, et les huissiers des Juifs, se saisirent alors de Jésus, et le lièrent.
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out], who was high priest that year.
Ils l’emmenèrent d’abord chez Anne; car il était le beau-père de Caïphe, qui était souverain sacrificateur cette année-là.
14 Now it was Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out] who advised the Jews [Praisers] that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
Et Caïphe était celui qui avait donné ce conseil aux Juifs: Il est avantageux qu’un seul homme meure pour le peuple.
15 Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] followed Yeshua [Salvation], as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Yeshua [Salvation] into the court of the high priest;
Simon Pierre, avec un autre disciple, suivait Jésus. Ce disciple était connu du souverain sacrificateur, et il entra avec Jésus dans la cour du souverain sacrificateur;
16 but Peter [Rock] was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter [Rock].
mais Pierre resta dehors près de la porte. L’autre disciple, qui était connu du souverain sacrificateur, sortit, parla à la portière, et fit entrer Pierre.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter [Rock], “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
Alors la servante, la portière, dit à Pierre: Toi aussi, n’es-tu pas des disciples de cet homme? Il dit: Je n’en suis point.
18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter [Rock] was with them, standing and warming himself.
Les serviteurs et les huissiers, qui étaient là, avaient allumé un brasier, car il faisait froid, et ils se chauffaient. Pierre se tenait avec eux, et se chauffait.
19 The high priest therefore asked Yeshua [Salvation] about his disciples, and about his teaching.
Le souverain sacrificateur interrogea Jésus sur ses disciples et sur sa doctrine.
20 Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews [Praisers] always meet. I said nothing in secret.
Jésus lui répondit: J’ai parlé ouvertement au monde; j’ai toujours enseigné dans la synagogue et dans le temple, où tous les Juifs s’assemblent, et je n’ai rien dit en secret.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, these know the things which I said.”
Pourquoi m’interroges-tu? Interroge sur ce que je leur ai dit ceux qui m’ont entendu; voici, ceux-là savent ce que j’ai dit.
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Yeshua [Salvation] with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
A ces mots, un des huissiers, qui se trouvait là, donna un soufflet à Jésus, en disant: Est-ce ainsi que tu réponds au souverain sacrificateur?
23 Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Jésus lui dit: Si j’ai mal parlé, fais voir ce que j’ai dit de mal; et si j’ai bien parlé, pourquoi me frappes-tu?
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out], the high priest.
Anne l’envoya lié à Caïphe, le souverain sacrificateur.
25 Now Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You are not also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.”
Simon Pierre était là, et se chauffait. On lui dit: Toi aussi, n’es-tu pas de ses disciples? Il le nia, et dit: Je n’en suis point.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter [Rock] had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
Un des serviteurs du souverain sacrificateur, parent de celui à qui Pierre avait coupé l’oreille, dit: Ne t’ai-je pas vu avec lui dans le jardin?
27 Peter [Rock] therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Pierre le nia de nouveau. Et aussitôt le coq chanta.
28 They led Yeshua [Salvation] therefore from Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out] into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Pesac ·Passover· meal (Nissan 14).
Ils conduisirent Jésus de chez Caïphe au prétoire: c’était le matin. Ils n’entrèrent point eux-mêmes dans le prétoire, afin de ne pas se souiller, et de pouvoir manger la Pâque.
29 Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore went out to them, and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Pilate sortit donc pour aller à eux, et il dit: Quelle accusation portez-vous contre cet homme?
30 They answered him, “If this man was not an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
Ils lui répondirent: Si ce n’était pas un malfaiteur, nous ne te l’aurions pas livré.
31 Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews [Praisers] said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,”
Sur quoi Pilate leur dit: Prenez-le vous-mêmes, et jugez-le selon votre loi. Les Juifs lui dirent: Il ne nous est pas permis de mettre personne à mort.
32 that the word of Yeshua [Salvation] might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
C’était afin que s’accomplît la parole que Jésus avait dite, lorsqu’il indiqua de quelle mort il devait mourir.
33 Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua [Salvation], and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews [Praisers]?”
Pilate rentra dans le prétoire, appela Jésus, et lui dit: Es-tu le roi des Juifs?
34 Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Jésus répondit: Est-ce de toi-même que tu dis cela, ou d’autres te l’ont-ils dit de moi?
35 Pilate [Armed with javelin] answered, “I’m not a Jew [Praiser], am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
Pilate répondit: Moi, suis-je Juif? Ta nation et les principaux sacrificateurs t’ont livré à moi: qu’as-tu fait?
36 Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I would not be delivered to the Jews [Praisers]. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
Mon royaume n’est pas de ce monde, répondit Jésus. Si mon royaume était de ce monde, mes serviteurs auraient combattu pour moi afin que je ne fusse pas livré aux Juifs; mais maintenant mon royaume n’est point d’ici-bas.
37 Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilate lui dit: Tu es donc roi? Jésus répondit: Tu le dis, je suis roi. Je suis né et je suis venu dans le monde pour rendre témoignage à la vérité. Quiconque est de la vérité écoute ma voix.
38 Pilate [Armed with javelin] said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews [Praisers], and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
Pilate lui dit: Qu’est-ce que la vérité? Après avoir dit cela, il sortit de nouveau pour aller vers les Juifs, et il leur dit: Je ne trouve aucun crime en lui.
39 But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews [Praisers]?”
Mais, comme c’est parmi vous une coutume que je vous relâche quelqu’un à la fête de Pâque, voulez-vous que je vous relâche le roi des Juifs?
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Bar-Abba [Son Father]!” Now Bar-Abba [Son Father] was a robber.
Alors de nouveau tous s’écrièrent: Non pas lui, mais Barabbas. Or, Barabbas était un brigand.
