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.
Avant la fête de Pâque, sachant que l'heure était venue pour lui de passer de ce monde au Père, Jésus qui avait aimé les siens 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 souper — le Diable ayant déjà mis au coeur de Judas Iscariote, fils de Simon, le dessein 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, qui savait que le Père lui avait remis toutes choses entre les mains, qu'il était venu de Dieu et qu'il s'en 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 de table, ôta son vêtement, et, ayant pris un linge, il s'en ceignit.
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.
Ensuite il remplit d'eau le bassin, et il se mit à laver les pieds de ses disciples et à les essuyer avec le linge dont il était ceint.
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!”
Il vint donc à Simon Pierre, qui lui dit: Toi, Seigneur, tu me laverais 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 maintenant ce que je fais, mais tu le sauras 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, tu n'auras point de part 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 les pieds, mais aussi les mains et la 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 répondit: Celui qui s'est déjà baigné n'a plus qu'à se laver les pieds; il est entièrement purifié. Or, vous êtes purs, mais non 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 savait quel était celui qui le trahirait; c'est pour cela qu'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 qu'il leur eut lavé les pieds, il reprit son vêtement; et, s'étant remis à table, il leur dit: Comprenez-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 et vous dites bien, car je le suis.
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 je vous ai lavé les pieds, moi, le Seigneur et le Maître, 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 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].
En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, le serviteur n'est pas plus grand que son maître, ni l'envoyé plus grand que celui qui l'envoie.
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
Si vous savez ces choses, vous êtes bienheureux, pourvu que vous les pratiquiez.
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 connais ceux que j'ai choisis; mais il faut que cette parole de l'Écriture soit accomplie: «Celui qui mange mon pain, 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]).
Je vous le dis dès à présent, avant que la chose arrive, afin que, quand elle sera arrivée, vous croyiez ce que je suis.
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.”
En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, quiconque reçoit celui que j'ai envoyé, me reçoit; et quiconque 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.”
Quand Jésus eut ainsi parlé, il fut troublé en son esprit, et il dit ouvertement: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le déclare, l'un de vous me trahira!
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, ne sachant de qui il parlait.
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
Or, il y avait un des disciples qui était, couché sur le sein de Jésus; c'était celui que Jésus aimait.
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
Simon Pierre lui fit signe, en lui disant: Dis-nous quel est celui dont il parle.
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Lui donc, s'étant penché sur le sein 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: C'est celui à qui je donnerai le morceau que je vais tremper. Puis ayant trempé un morceau, il le prit et le donna à Judas Iscariote, fils de Simon.
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.”
Aussitôt que Judas eut pris le morceau, Satan entra en lui. Jésus lui dit alors: Ce que tu fais, fais-le au plus tôt.
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
Mais aucun de ceux qui étaient à table ne comprit pourquoi il lui parlait ainsi.
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.
Quelques-uns pensaient que, comme Judas avait la bourse, Jésus lui disait: Achète ce dont nous avons besoin pour la fête; ou: Donne 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].
Judas, ayant pris le morceau, sortit aussitôt. Et il faisait 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.
Quand Judas fut sorti, Jésus dit: Maintenant le Fils de l'homme est glorifié, et Dieu est 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.
Dieu aussi le glorifiera en lui-même, et il le glorifiera bientôt.
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].
Mes petits enfants, je suis encore avec vous pour un peu de temps; vous me chercherez, et comme je l'ai dit aux Juifs, je vous le dis aussi maintenant: Vous ne pouvez venir où je vais.
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, c'est que vous vous aimiez 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.”
C'est à ceci que tous connaîtront 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 lui répondit: Tu ne saurais maintenant me suivre où je vais; mais tu me suivras plus tard.
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 à présent? 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: Tu donneras ta vie pour moi? En vérité, en vérité, je te le dis, le coq ne chantera pas, que tu ne m'aies renié trois fois!
