John 18
1 After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
Après que Jésus eut dit ces choses, il s'en alla avec ses Disciples au delà du torrent de Cédron, où il y avait un Jardin, dans lequel il entra avec ses Disciples.
2 Judas, who was [about to] enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him, knew that [he would probably be] there. [He knew that because] Jesus often gathered there with us.
Or Judas qui le trahissait, connaissait aussi ce lieu-là, car Jésus s'y était souvent assemblé avec ses Disciples.
3 So Judas came to that grove. He was leading a troop of Roman [soldiers] and some Temple guards who had been sent by the Pharisees and chief priests. They were carrying torches and lamps and weapons.
Judas donc ayant pris une compagnie de soldats, et des huissiers de la part des principaux Sacrificateurs et des Pharisiens, s'en vint là avec des lanternes et des flambeaux, et des armes.
4 Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. So [as they approached], he stepped forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
Et Jésus sachant toutes les choses qui lui devaient arriver, s'avança, et leur dit: qui cherchez-vous?
5 They replied to him, “Jesus, the man from Nazareth.” He replied, “That is who I am.” Judas, the one who was enabling his enemies to seize him, was with them.
Ils lui répondirent: Jésus le Nazarien. Jésus leur dit: c'est moi. Et Judas qui le trahissait, était aussi avec eux.
6 When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
Or après que [Jésus] leur eut dit: c'est moi, ils reculèrent, et tombèrent par terre.
7 He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
Il leur demanda une seconde fois: qui cherchez-vous? Et ils répondirent: Jésus le Nazarien.
8 Jesus replied, “I told you that I am Jesus. So since I am the one you are looking for, allow these [disciples of mine] to go.”
Jésus répondit: je vous ai dit que c'est moi; si donc vous me cherchez, laissez aller ceux-ci.
9 [This happened] in order that [when they did what he asked them to do], the words would be fulfilled that he had prayed, “I will never lose any of those whom God has brought to me.”
C'était afin que la parole qu'il avait dite fût accomplie: je n'ai perdu aucun de ceux que tu m'as donnés.
10 Simon Peter had a [long] dagger. So he drew it and [tried to kill] the high priest’s servant, [but he only] cut off the man’s right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Or Simon Pierre ayant une épée, la tira, et en frappa un serviteur du souverain sacrificateur, et lui coupa l'oreille droite; et ce serviteur avait nom Malchus.
11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword [back] into its sheath! (I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer./Do you not think that I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer?) [MET, RHQ]”
Mais Jésus dit à Pierre: remets ton épée au fourreau: ne boirai-je pas la coupe que le Père m'a donnée?
12 Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
Alors la compagnie, le capitaine, et les huissiers des Juifs se saisirent de Jésus, et le lièrent.
13 Then they took him first to Annas, [who was previously the high priest]. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.
Et ils l'emmenèrent premièrement à Anne: car il était beau-père de Caïphe, qui était le souverain Sacrificateur de cette année-là.
14 Caiaphas was the one who [previously] advised the Jewish [Council] that it would be better if one man died for the sake of the people [than for all the people of the Jewish nation to die].
Or Caïphe était celui qui avait donné ce conseil aux Juifs, qu'il était utile qu'un homme mourût pour le peuple.
15 Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
Or Simon Pierre avec un autre Disciple suivait Jésus, et ce Disciple était connu du souverain Sacrificateur, et il entra avec Jésus dans la cour du souverain Sacrificateur.
16 But Peter [had to] wait outside near the doorway. However, since I knew the high priest, I went back to the doorway and spoke to the girl who was guarding the entrance. Then [she allowed] Peter to come in.
Mais Pierre était dehors à la porte, et l'autre Disciple qui était connu du souverain Sacrificateur, sortit dehors, et parla à la portière, laquelle fit entrer Pierre.
17 The servant girl who was guarding the doorway said to Peter, “Surely you are not another disciple of that man [they have arrested], are you?” He said, “I am not.”
Et la servante qui était la portière, dit à Pierre: n'es-tu point aussi des Disciples de cet homme? Il dit: je n'en suis point.
18 It was cold, so the high priest’s slaves and Temple guards made a charcoal fire and were standing around it to keep warm. Peter was also standing near it, warming himself.
Or les serviteurs et les huissiers ayant fait du feu, étaient là, parce qu'il faisait froid, et ils se chauffaient; Pierre aussi était avec eux, et se chauffait.
19 [While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
Et le souverain Sacrificateur interrogea Jésus touchant ses Disciples, et touchant sa doctrine.
20 Jesus replied, “I have always spoken where many people [MTY, HYP] could hear me. I have taught them in (the synagogues/their meeting places) and in the Temple courtyard, in places where many [HYP] Jews come together. I have spoken nothing secretly.
Jésus lui répondit: j'ai ouvertement parlé au monde; j'ai toujours enseigné dans la Synagogue et dans le Temple, où les Juifs s'assemblent toujours, et je n'ai rien dit en secret.
21 [So] (why are you asking me questions [like this illegally]?/you should not be asking me questions [like this illegally]!) [RHQ] Ask the people who heard what I taught! They certainly know what I said!”
Pourquoi m'interroges-tu? interroge ceux qui ont ouï ce que je leur ai dit; voilà, ils savent ce que j'ai dit;
22 After Jesus said that, one of the Temple guards standing near him slapped him on his face. He said, “(That is not the way you should answer the high priest!/Is that the way you should answer the high priest?) [RHQ]”
Quand il eut dit ces choses, un des huissiers qui se tenait là, donna un coup de sa verge à Jésus, en lui disant: est-ce ainsi que tu réponds au souverain Sacrificateur?
23 Jesus replied to him, “If I said something that was contrary [to your laws], you could tell [me that what I said that] was wrong. But because I said only what was right, (you should not be striking me!/why are you striking me?) [RHQ]”
Jésus lui répondit: si j'ai mal parlé, rends témoignage du mal; et si j'ai bien parlé, pourquoi me frappes-tu?
24 Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Or Anne l'avait envoyé lié à Caïphe, souverain Sacrificateur.
25 As Simon Peter was standing warming himself [at the fire], someone else said to him, “You are not one of that man’s disciples, are you?” He denied [that he was], and said, “I am not.”
Et Simon Pierre était là, et se chauffait; et ils lui dirent: n'es-tu pas aussi de ses Disciples; il le nia, et dit: je n'en suis point.
26 [Later] one of the high priest’s servants, a man who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off [before], said to him, “I saw you with that man in the grove [of olive trees], did I not?”
Et un des serviteurs du souverain Sacrificateur, parent de celui à qui Pierre avait coupé l'oreille, dit: ne t'ai-je pas vu au jardin avec lui?
27 Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
Mais Pierre le nia encore, et incontinent le coq chanta.
28 Then the [Jewish leaders] [SYN] led Jesus from the [home of] Caiaphas to the headquarters [of Pilate, the Roman governor]. It was before dawn. [Pilate was a non-Jew], [and they thought that if they entered his headquarters], they would become unacceptable to God {God would reject them}, [and as a result] they would not be able to eat [the food during] the Passover [celebration]. [Because of that, they did not want to enter Pilate’s headquarters].
Puis ils menèrent Jésus de chez Caïphe au Prétoire (or c'était le matin) mais ils n'entrèrent point au Prétoire, de peur qu'ils ne fussent souillés, et afin de pouvoir manger [l'agneau] de pâque.
29 So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
C'est pourquoi Pilate sortit vers eux, et leur dit: quelle accusation portez-vous contre cet homme?
30 [They knew that Jesus had not disobeyed any Roman law, so they did not want to answer him. Instead], they said, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have brought him to you!”
Ils répondirent, et lui dirent: si ce n'était pas un criminel, nous ne te l'eussions pas livré.
31 Then Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws!” Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “[No! We want him executed, but we want you Romans to execute him, because] we Jews have no right to execute anyone!”
Alors Pilate leur dit: prenez-le vous-mêmes, et jugez-le selon votre Loi. Mais les Juifs lui dirent: il ne nous est pas permis de faire mourir personne.
32 [The Romans executed people by nailing them to a cross]. [So], as a result of what [the Jewish leaders said], it was fulfilled {[the Romans] would fulfill} what Jesus had said previously about the way he was going to die.
[Et cela arriva ainsi] afin que la parole que Jésus avait dite, fût accomplie, indiquant de quelle mort il devait mourir.
33 Pilate then went back inside his headquarters. He summoned Jesus. [Because the Jewish leaders had said that Jesus claimed to be a king], Pilate said to Jesus [scornfully], “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Pilate donc entra encore au Prétoire, et ayant appelé Jésus, il lui dit: es-tu le Roi des Juifs?
34 Jesus replied, “Are you asking that because you yourself [want to know if I claim to be a king], or because (someone else/Caiaphas) said [that I claim to be their king]?”
Jésus lui répondit: dis-tu ceci de toi-même, ou sont-ce les autres qui [te] l'ont dit de moi?
35 Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, [so] ([I cannot understand these matters!/how can I understand these matters]?) [RHQ] It was your fellow Jews and your chief priests who brought you to me! What have you done [to make them want to execute you]?”
Pilate répondit: suis-je Juif? ta nation et les principaux Sacrificateurs t'ont livré à moi; qu'as-tu fait?
36 Jesus replied, “It is not people in [MTY] this world who are [making me] king. If it was people in this world who were making me a king, my disciples would have fought in order that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] would be prevented {to prevent the Jewish [leaders] [SYN]} from seizing me. But it is not [someone here in] this world who is making me a king.”
Jésus répondit: mon Règne n'est pas de ce monde; si mon Règne était de ce monde, mes gens combattraient afin que je ne fusse point livré aux Juifs; mais maintenant mon Règne n'est point d'ici-bas.
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So [are you saying that] you are a king?” Jesus replied, “[Yes], what you have said about my being a king [is correct]. I was born to become a king, and I came into this world to tell people the truth [about God]. Everyone who [believes] the truth pays attention to what I say.”
Alors Pilate lui dit: es-tu donc Roi? Jésus répondit: tu le dis, que je suis Roi; je suis né pour cela, et c'est pour cela que je suis venu au monde, afin que je rende témoignage à la vérité; quiconque est de la vérité, entend ma voix.
38 Pilate said to him, “[How can anyone know] what the truth is?” After he said that, he went outside and talked to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again. He said to them, “I do not find that he has done anything at all for which I should punish him.
Pilate lui dit: qu'est-ce que la vérité? Et quand il eut dit cela, il sortit encore vers les Juifs, et il leur dit: je ne trouve aucun crime en lui.
39 But you [Jews] customarily, [every year] during the Passover [celebration], ask me to release for you [someone who is in prison]. So would you like for me to release for you the [man who you] Jews [say is your] king?”
Or vous avez une coutume: [qui est] que je vous relâche un [prisonnier] à la fête de Pâque; voulez-vous donc que je vous relâche le Roi des Juifs?
40 They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
Et tous s'écrièrent encore, disant: non pas celui-ci, mais Barrabas; or Barrabas était un brigand.
