< John 17 >

1 After Jesus said those things, he looked [up] toward heaven. Then he prayed, “[My] Father, it is now the time [MTY] [for me to suffer and die]. Honor me [as I do that], in order that I may honor you.
Jésus dit ces choses, et leva ses yeux au ciel, et dit: Père, l’heure est venue; glorifie ton Fils, afin que ton Fils te glorifie,
2 You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
comme tu lui as donné autorité sur toute chair, afin que, [quant à] tout ce que tu lui as donné, il leur donne la vie éternelle. (aiōnios g166)
3 [The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
Et c’est ici la vie éternelle, qu’ils te connaissent seul vrai Dieu, et celui que tu as envoyé, Jésus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.
Moi, je t’ai glorifié sur la terre, j’ai achevé l’œuvre que tu m’as donnée à faire;
5 [My] Father, now honor me when I am with you [again], by causing me to have the greatness I had when I was with you before the world began.”
et maintenant glorifie-moi, toi, Père, auprès de toi-même, de la gloire que j’avais auprès de toi avant que le monde fût.
6 “I have revealed [what] you [are like] to the people whom you brought to me from among those who do not belong to you [MTY]. Those [who came to me] belonged to you, and you brought them to me. Now they have obeyed your message.
J’ai manifesté ton nom aux hommes que tu m’as donnés du monde; ils étaient à toi, et tu me les as donnés; et ils ont gardé ta parole.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.
Maintenant ils ont connu que tout ce que tu m’as donné vient de toi;
8 I gave them the message that you gave me, and they have accepted it. They now know for certain that I came from you. They now believe that you sent me.
car je leur ai donné les paroles que tu m’as données, et ils les ont reçues; et ils ont vraiment connu que je suis sorti d’auprès de toi, et ils ont cru que toi tu m’as envoyé.
9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for those [who do not belong to you] [MTY]. Instead, [I am praying] for those whom you have brought to me, because they belong to you.
Moi, je fais des demandes pour eux; je ne fais pas de demandes pour le monde, mais pour ceux que tu m’as donnés, parce qu’ils sont à toi
10 All [the disciples] that I have belong to you, and all those who belong to you also belong to me. They have shown how great I am.
(et tout ce qui est à moi, est à toi; et ce qui est à toi est à moi), et je suis glorifié en eux.
11 I will not be [staying] in the world any longer. I will be coming back to you. They, however, will be [here] in the world [among those who are opposed to you]. [My] Holy Father, protect them from spiritual harm by your power [MTY], the power that you gave me, in order that they may be united as we are united.
Et je ne suis plus dans le monde, et ceux-ci sont dans le monde, et moi, je viens à toi. Père saint, garde-les en ton nom que tu m’as donné, afin qu’ils soient un comme nous.
12 While I have been with them, I have [completely] protected them by the power [MTY] that you gave me. As a result, only one of them will be eternally separated from you. He is the one who was doomed to be eternally separated from you. [That has happened] to fulfill [what a prophet wrote] in the Scriptures [would happen].
Quand j’étais avec eux, moi je les gardais en ton nom; j’ai gardé ceux que tu m’as donnés, et aucun d’entre eux n’est perdu, sinon le fils de perdition, afin que l’écriture fût accomplie.
13 [Father], now I am about to return to you. I have said these things while I am still [here] in the world in order that my [disciples] may fully experience being joyful, as I have been joyful.
Et maintenant je viens à toi, et je dis ces choses dans le monde, afin qu’ils aient ma joie accomplie en eux-mêmes.
14 I have given them your message. As a result, those who are opposed to you [MTY] have hated them, because [my disciples] do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY], just like I do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY].
Moi, je leur ai donné ta parole, et le monde les a haïs, parce qu’ils ne sont pas du monde, comme moi je ne suis pas du monde.
15 I am asking you, not that you take them out of this world, but instead that you protect them from [Satan], the evil one.
Je ne fais pas la demande que tu les ôtes du monde, mais que tu les gardes du mal.
16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.
Ils ne sont pas du monde, comme moi je ne suis pas du monde.
17 Set [my disciples] apart so that they may (completely belong to/serve) you, by [enabling them to live in accordance with] what is true. Your message is true.
Sanctifie-les par la vérité; ta parole est la vérité.
18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.
Comme tu m’as envoyé dans le monde, moi aussi je les ai envoyés dans le monde.
19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”
Et moi, je me sanctifie moi-même pour eux, afin qu’eux aussi soient sanctifiés par la vérité.
20 “I am praying not only for these [eleven disciples]. I am praying also for those who [will] believe in me as a result of [hearing] their message.
Or je ne fais pas seulement des demandes pour ceux-ci, mais aussi pour ceux qui croient en moi par leur parole;
21 [My] Father, [I want] all of them to be united, just like I am united with you because of my relationship with you, and as you are united with me because of your relationship with me. I also want them to be united with us. [I want that to happen] so that those who do not know you [MTY] may know that you sent me.
afin que tous soient un, comme toi, Père, tu es en moi, et moi en toi; afin qu’eux aussi soient un en nous, afin que le monde croie que toi tu m’as envoyé.
22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.
Et la gloire que tu m’as donnée, moi, je la leur ai donnée, afin qu’ils soient un, comme nous, nous sommes un;
23 I want them to be united just like they are united with me and as you are united with me. May they be completely united, in order that those who do not belong to you [MTY] may know that you sent me and that you have loved them just like you have loved me.
moi en eux, et toi en moi; afin qu’ils soient consommés en un, et que le monde connaisse que toi tu m’as envoyé, et que tu les as aimés comme tu m’as aimé.
24 [My] Father, I want [the disciples] you have brought to me to [some day] be with me [in heaven], where I will be. I want them to see my greatness. I want them to see the greatness you gave me because you loved me. You gave me that greatness before you created the world.
Père, je veux, quant à ceux que tu m’as donnés, que là où moi je suis, ils y soient aussi avec moi, afin qu’ils voient ma gloire, que tu m’as donnée; car tu m’as aimé avant la fondation du monde.
25 [My] righteous Father, although the people who do not belong to you [MTY] do not know what you [are like], I know what you [are like], and my disciples know that you sent me.
Père juste; – et le monde ne t’a pas connu, mais moi je t’ai connu; et ceux-ci ont connu que toi tu m’as envoyé.
26 I have revealed to them [what] you [are like], and I will continue to reveal to them [what] you [are like]. I will do that in order that they may love [others] just like you love me, and in order that I may be in them [by my Spirit].”
Et je leur ai fait connaître ton nom, et je le leur ferai connaître, afin que l’amour dont tu m’as aimé soit en eux, et moi en eux.
