John 13
1 When it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and [to return] to [his] Father [in heaven]. He loved us who [were his disciples]. He knew [we would continue to live here] in this world, so now he [showed us] how completely he loved us.
Or, avant la fête de la Pâque, Jésus, sachant que son heure était venue de quitter ce monde pour le Père, ayant aimé les siens qui étaient dans le monde, les aima jusqu'à la fin.
2 We were eating [the Passover meal]. (The devil/Satan) had already suggested to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the son of Simon, that he should (betray Jesus/enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
Pendant le repas, le diable ayant déjà mis dans le cœur de Judas Iscariote, fils de Simon, le désir de le trahir,
3 But Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority [to control the situation]. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.
Jésus, sachant que le Père avait remis toutes choses entre ses mains, qu'il venait de Dieu et qu'il allait à Dieu,
4 [But before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other]. [So] he got up from where he was eating. He took off his [outer] cloak and wrapped a [long] towel around his waist, [as a slave would do].
se leva du repas et mit de côté ses vêtements de dessus. Il prit une serviette et s'en enveloppa la taille.
5 Then he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.
Puis il versa de l'eau dans la cuvette, se mit à laver les pieds des disciples et à les essuyer avec la serviette dont il était enveloppé.
6 When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you [RHQ] to [humble yourself by] washing my feet!”
Puis il s'approcha de Simon Pierre. Il lui dit: « Seigneur, est-ce toi qui me laves les pieds? »
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
Jésus lui répondit: « Tu ne sais pas ce que je fais maintenant, mais tu comprendras plus tard. »
8 Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
Pierre lui dit: « Tu ne me laveras jamais les pieds! » Jésus lui répondit: « Si je ne te lave pas, tu n'as rien à faire avec moi. » (aiōn g165)
9 So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, [in that case], do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, [too]!”
Simon-Pierre lui dit: « Seigneur, non seulement mes pieds, mais aussi mes mains et ma tête! »
10 [Then, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins] [MET], Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, [because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads]. The [rest of their bodies are] clean. Similarly, I have made you [disciples] free/clean [from the guilt of your sins], although not all of you are free from guilt.”
Jésus lui dit: « Quelqu'un qui s'est baigné n'a besoin que de se laver les pieds, mais il est complètement pur. Vous êtes purs, mais pas tous. »
11 He knew which one [of us] was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”
Car il connaissait celui qui allait le trahir; c'est pourquoi il dit: « Vous n'êtes pas tous purs. »
12 After he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
Après leur avoir lavé les pieds, remis son vêtement de dessus et s'être assis, il leur dit: « Savez-vous ce que je vous ai fait?
13 You [show that you respect me by] calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.
Vous m'appelez: « Maître » et « Seigneur ». Vous le dites bien, car je suis ainsi.
14 But if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to [serve each other by doing things like] washing each other’s feet.
Si donc moi, le Seigneur et le Maître, je vous ai lavé les pieds, vous devez aussi vous laver les pieds les uns aux autres.
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
Car je vous ai donné un exemple, afin que vous fassiez aussi comme je vous ai fait.
16 Listen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. [So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other].
Je vous le dis en vérité, le serviteur n'est pas plus grand que son maître, et l'envoyé n'est pas plus grand que celui qui l'a envoyé.
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
Si vous savez ces choses, vous êtes bénis si vous les mettez en pratique.
18 “I am not saying that [God will bless] all of you. I knew [what all of you were like when] I chose you. But [I also chose the one who will betray me], in order that what is written in Scripture might be fulfilled {to fulfill what someone/the psalmist wrote in Scripture}, ‘The one who is [acting like he is my friend by] eating with me has become my enemy [IDM].’
Je ne parle pas de vous tous. Je sais qui j'ai choisi, mais c'est pour que s'accomplisse cette parole de l'Écriture: « Celui qui mange le pain avec moi a levé le talon contre moi ».
19 I am telling you [about someone betraying me] before it happens, in order that when it happens, you may continue to believe that I am ([the Messiah/who I say I am]).
Désormais, je vous le dis avant que cela n'arrive, afin que, lorsque cela arrivera, vous croyiez que c'est moi.
20 Listen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, [God will consider that] they are accepting me. And those who accept me, [God will consider that] they are accepting [my Father], who sent me.”
Je vous le dis en toute certitude: celui qui reçoit celui que j'envoie, me reçoit; et celui qui me reçoit, reçoit celui qui m'a envoyé. »
21 After Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He solemnly declared, “Listen to this carefully: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
Après avoir dit cela, Jésus fut troublé en esprit, et il déclara: « Je vous le dis en toute certitude, l'un de vous me livrera. »
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
Les disciples se regardaient les uns les autres, perplexes quant à la personne dont il parlait.
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
Un de ses disciples, que Jésus aimait, était à table, appuyé contre la poitrine de Jésus.
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
Simon-Pierre lui fit donc signe de venir, et lui dit: « Dis-nous qui est celui dont il parle. »
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Lui, s'appuyant, comme il l'était, sur la poitrine de Jésus, lui demanda: « Seigneur, qui est-ce? »
26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I dip it [in the sauce in the dish].” Then, [to show us that he knew who would enable his enemies to seize him], after he dipped the bread [in the sauce], he gave it to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]).
Jésus répondit donc: « C'est celui à qui je donnerai ce morceau de pain quand je l'aurai trempé. » Ayant donc trempé le morceau de pain, il le donna à Judas, fils de Simon Iscariot.
27 As soon as [Judas ate] the bread, Satan took control of him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
Après le morceau de pain, Satan entra en lui. Alors Jésus lui dit: « Ce que tu fais, fais-le vite. »
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
Or, personne à table ne savait pourquoi il lui disait cela.
29 Since Judas took care of the money [people gave us to help us], some thought Jesus was telling him to [go and] buy some things we needed for the [Passover] celebration. [Some thought he was telling him] to give some money to poor people.
Car quelques-uns pensaient, parce que Judas avait la tirelire, que Jésus lui avait dit: « Achète ce dont nous avons besoin pour la fête », ou qu'il devait donner quelque chose aux pauvres.
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
Ayant donc reçu ce morceau, il sortit aussitôt. C'était la nuit.
31 After Judas left, Jesus said, “Now it will be shown {[my Father] will show} how wonderful I, the one who came from heaven, am. And by what I do it will be seen {people will see} how great God is.
Lorsqu'il fut sorti, Jésus dit: Maintenant, le Fils de l'homme a été glorifié, et Dieu a été glorifié en lui.
32 Since by what I do people will see how awesome God is, God himself will show people how awesome I am. And he will do that very soon.
Si Dieu a été glorifié en lui, Dieu le glorifiera aussi en lui-même, et il le glorifiera aussitôt.
33 [You whom I love as though you were] my children, I will continue with you only a short time longer. Then you will look for me, but I will not be here. Just like I told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], I am telling you now, that where I am going, you cannot come [yet].
Petits enfants, je vais rester encore un peu avec vous. Vous me chercherez, et comme j'ai dit aux Juifs: « Là où je vais, vous ne pouvez pas venir », je vous le dis maintenant.
34 Now I am giving you a new commandment: You must love each other. You must love each other in the way that I have loved you.
Je vous donne un commandement nouveau: aimez-vous les uns les autres. Comme je vous ai aimés, vous aussi, aimez-vous les uns les autres.
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
A ceci tous reconnaîtront que vous êtes mes disciples, si vous avez de l'amour les uns pour les autres. »
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “The place where I am going, you cannot come with me now, but you will come there later.”
Simon-Pierre lui dit: « Seigneur, où vas-tu? » Jésus répondit: « Là où je vais, vous ne pouvez pas me suivre maintenant, mais vous me suivrez après. »
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
Pierre lui dit: « Seigneur, pourquoi ne puis-je pas te suivre maintenant? Je donnerai ma vie pour toi. »
38 Jesus answered, “[You say] [RHQ] that you [are ready] to die for me. But the truth is that before the rooster crows [early tomorrow morning], you will say three times that you do not [know] me!”
Jésus lui répondit: « Veux-tu donner ta vie pour moi? En vérité, je te le dis, le coq ne chantera pas avant que tu ne m'aies renié trois fois.
