John 5
1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem when the Jews were having [another] celebration.
Après cela se trouvait la fête des Juifs, et Jésus monta à Jérusalem.
2 At one of the gates [into the city] called the Sheep Gate, there is a pool. In our language we call it Bethzatha. [Around the pool] were five open areas with roofs over them.
Or il y a à Jérusalem une piscine probatique appelée en hébreu Bethsaïda, et ayant cinq portiques.
3 Many people were lying there. They were people who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.
Sous lesquels gisait une grande multitude de malades, d’aveugles, de boiteux, de paralytiques, attendant le mouvement des eaux.
Car un ange du Seigneur descendait en un certain temps dans la piscine, et l’eau s’agitait. Et celui qui le premier descendait dans la piscine après le mouvement de l’eau, était guéri de quelque maladie qu’il fût affligé.
5 One of those who was there had been paralyzed for 38 years.
Or il y avait là un homme qui était malade depuis trente-huit ans.
6 Jesus saw him lying there and found out that the man had been like that for a long time. He said to the man, “Do you want to become well?”
Lorsque Jésus le vit couché et qu’il sut qu’il était malade depuis longtemps, il lui dit: Veux-tu être guéri?
7 The paralyzed man replied to him, “[Yes], sir, [I want to get well, but] there is no one to help me get down into the pool when the water is stirred {stirs}. While I am trying to get [to the pool], someone else always gets there before me.”
Le malade lui répondit: Seigneur, je n’ai personne qui, lorsque l’eau est agitée, me jette dans la piscine; car, tandis que je viens, un autre descend avant moi.
8 Jesus said to him, “Get up! Then pick up your mat and walk!”
Jésus lui dit: Lève-toi, prends ton grabat et marche.
9 The man immediately was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking! The day on which this happened was a Jewish day of rest.
Et aussitôt cet homme fut guéri, et il prit son grabat, et il marchait. Or c’était un jour de sabbat.
10 So the Jewish [leaders] said to the man who had been healed, “Today is (the Sabbath/our rest day), and [in our Jewish] laws [it is written that people should not work on our] ([Sabbath/rest day]), so you should not be carrying your mat!”
Les Juifs donc disaient à celui qui avait été guéri: C’est un jour de sabbat, il ne t’est pas permis d’emporter ton grabat.
11 The man replied to them, “The man who healed me, he himself said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’”
Il leur répondit: Celui qui m’a guéri m’a dit lui-même: Prends ton grabat et marche.
12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk!’?”
Alors ils lui demandèrent: Qui est cet homme qui t’a dit: Prends ton grabat et marche?
13 But since Jesus had disappeared in the crowd [without telling the man his name], the man did not know who it was [who had healed him].
Mais celui qui avait été guéri ne savait qui il était; car Jésus s’était retiré de la foule assemblée en ce lieu.
14 Later, Jesus found the man in the Temple [courtyard]. He [told the man his name, and] said to him, “Listen! You are healed! So stop sinning! If you do not stop sinning, something will happen to you that will be worse [than the illness you had before]!”
Jésus ensuite le trouva dans le temple, et lui dit: Voilà que tu es guéri, ne pèche plus, de peur qu’il ne t’arrive quelque chose de pis.
15 The man went away and told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] that it was Jesus who had healed him.
Cet homme s’en alla et annonça aux Juifs que c’était Jésus qui l’avait guéri.
16 So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] started to harass Jesus, because Jesus was doing these things (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day).
C’est pourquoi les Juifs persécutaient Jésus, parce qu’il faisait ces choses un jour de sabbat.
17 Then Jesus replied to them, “My Father has always been working every day, [including] ([the Sabbath/the day of rest]), up until now. I am doing the same thing!”
Mais Jésus leur répondit: Mon Père agit sans cesse, et moi j’agis aussi.
18 The Jewish leaders [SYN] considered that he was disobeying their rules about (the Sabbath/the day of rest), and that by saying that God was his Father, he was making himself equal with God. And they considered that both these things were grounds for killing him. So they tried even harder to find a way to kill him.
Sur quoi les Juifs cherchaient encore plus à le faire mourir; parce que non seulement il violait le sabbat, mais qu’il disait que Dieu était son Père, se faisant ainsi égal à Dieu. Jésus répondant, leur dit:
19 Jesus replied to them by saying, “You need to know this: I can do nothing by my own [authority]. I do only the [kind of] things that I see [my] Father doing. Whatever kinds of things my Father is doing, those are the things I am doing.
En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, le Fils ne peut rien faire de lui-même, si ce n’est ce qu’il voit que le Père fait; car tout ce que le Père fait, le Fils le fait pareillement.
20 [My] Father loves me, and he shows me everything that he is doing. He will show me [the miracles] that [he wants me to do] that will be greater than the ones that [you have already seen me do], so that you may be amazed.
Car le Père aime le Fils, et lui montre tout ce qu’il fait; et il lui montrera des œuvres encore plus grandes que celles-ci, de sorte que vous en serez vous-mêmes dans l’admiration.
21 [For example], just like [my] Father causes people who have died to become alive again, I will give [eternal] life to everyone that I want to.
Car, comme le Père réveille les morts et les rend à la vie, ainsi le Fils vivifie ceux qu’il veut.
22 Furthermore, [my] Father is not the one who judges people [concerning their sins]. Instead, he has given to me the work of judging people,
Le Père ne juge personne, mais il a remis tout jugement à son Fils.
23 in order that all people may honor me, just like they honor [my] Father. [My] Father [considers that] anyone who does not honor me is not honoring [him], the one who sent me.
Afin que tous honorent le Fils comme ils honorent le Père: qui n’honore point le Fils n’honore point le Père qui l’a envoyé.
24 Listen to this carefully: Those who hear my message and believe that [God] is the one who sent me have eternal life. [God will] not (condemn them/say that he will punish them). They are no longer separated from God. Instead, they have [eternal] life. (aiōnios g166)
En vérité, en vérité, je vous dis que celui qui écoute ma parole et croit à celui qui m’a envoyé, a la vie éternelle et ne’ vient pas en jugement; mais il a passé de la mort à la vie. (aiōnios g166)
25 Listen to this carefully: There will be a time when those who are (spiritually dead/separated from God) will hear the voice of me, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). In fact, it is that time already. Those who hear [and pay attention to my message] will have [eternal] life.
En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, vient une heure, et elle est déjà venue, où les morts entendront la voix du Fils de Dieu, et ceux qui l’auront entendue, vivront.
26 [My] Father has [power to] make things live. Similarly, he has given me the [power to enable] people to live [eternally].
Car, comme le Père a la vie en lui-même, ainsi il a donné au Fils d’avoir la vie en lui-même;
27 Because I am the one who came from heaven, he has given me the authority to judge people [concerning their sins].
Et il lui a donné le pouvoir de juger, parce qu’il est Fils de l’homme.
28 Do not be surprised about that, because there will be a time when all people who have died will hear my voice,
Ne vous en étonnez pas, parce que vient l’heure où tous ceux qui sont dans les sépulcres entendront la voix du Fils de Dieu,
29 and they will become alive again. Those who have lived good [lives] will rise [from their graves] and live forever. But those who have lived evil lives will rise, and I will (condemn them/declare that I will punish them [for their sins]).
Et en sortiront, ceux qui auront faille bien, pour ressusciter à la vie; mais ceux qui auront fait le mal, pour ressusciter à leur condamnation.
30 I do not do anything [like that] by my own authority. I judge people only according to what I hear [my Father tell me]. I will judge people fairly, because I do not want to please only myself. Instead, I want to please [my Father], who sent me.
Je ne puis rien faire de moi-même. Selon que j’entends, je juge; et mon jugement est juste, parce que je ne cherche point ma volonté, mais la volonté de celui qui m’a envoyé.
31 If I were the [only] one to tell people about myself, [people could rightly say that] what I say is not true.
Si je rends témoignage de moi-même, mon témoignage n’est pas vrai.
32 But there is someone else who tells people about me. And I know that what he tells people about me is true.
C’est un autre qui rend témoignage de moi, et je sais que le témoignage qu’il rend de moi est véritable.
33 As for you, when you sent messengers to John [the Baptizer to ask about me], he told the truth [about me].
Vous, vous avez envoyé vers Jean, et il a rendu témoignage à la vérité.
34 I do not [need that] people tell others [about me]. But instead, I am reminding [you about what John told people about me], in order that you will [believe it and] be saved {[God] will save you}.
Pour moi, ce n’est pas d’un homme que je reçois témoignage; mais je dis ceci afin que vous soyez sauvés.
35 [John’s message about me] (OR, [John]) [MET] was [like] a lamp that shines brightly. For a short while you were willing to be made happy [by that message] {to let [that message] make you happy}.
Il était la lampe ardente et luisante, et un moment vous avez voulu vous réjouir à sa lumière.
36 But there is something else that tells you about me. [It should prove who I am] more than what John [said about me]. The miracles [PRS] that [my] Father told me to do, the miracles that I am performing, show (OR, prove) to people that my Father sent me.
Mais moi, j’ai un témoignage plus grand que celui de Jean. Car les œuvres que mon Père m’a données à accomplir, ces œuvres que je fais moi-même, rendent témoignage de moi, que le Père m’a envoyé.
37 Furthermore, [my] Father, who sent me, tells people about me. You have never heard his voice or seen him.
Et mon Père qui m’a envoyé a rendu lui-même témoignage de moi; vous n’avez jamais entendu sa voix ni vu sa figure;
38 Furthermore, you have not believed in [me], the one he sent. So you have not [believed] his message in your inner beings.
Et vous n’avez pas sa parole demeurant en vous, parce que vous ne croyez pas à celui qu’il a envoyé.
39 You carefully study (OR, Study) the Scriptures, because you think that by [studying] them you will [find the way to] have eternal life. And those Scriptures tell people about me! (aiōnios g166)
Scrutez les Ecritures, puisque vous pensez avoir en elles la vie éternelle, car ce sont elles qui rendent témoignage de moi; (aiōnios g166)
40 But you refuse (to come to me/to believe my message) in order that you may have [eternal] life.
Mais vous ne voulez pas venir à moi pour avoir la vie.
41 It does not [matter to] me whether people praise me.
Je n’accepte point une gloire venant des hommes.
42 But you [want people to praise you]. I know that within yourselves you do not love God.
Mais j’ai reconnu que vous n’avez pas l’amour de Dieu en vous.
43 Although I have come to earth with my Father’s authority [MTY], you do not accept me. But if someone else comes with his own authority [MTY], you accept him!
Je suis venu moi-même au nom de mon Père, et vous ne me recevez point; si un autre vient en son nom, vous le recevrez.
44 You accept your praising each other, but you do not try to do things that will result in God himself praising you. So (there is no way you can believe [in me]!/how can you believe [my message]?) [RHQ]
Comment pouvez-vous croire, vous qui recevez la gloire l’un de l’autre, et ne cherchez point la gloire qui vient de Dieu seul?
45 But do not think that I am the one who will accuse you while [my] Father is listening! No, it is Moses who will accuse you! You thought that he would [defend you].
Ne pensez pas que ce soit moi qui doive vous accuser devant le Père: celui qui vous accuse, c’est Moïse, en qui vous espérez.
46 Moses wrote about me, so if you had believed what he [wrote], you would have believed what I [said]
Car si vous croyiez à Moïse, vous croiriez sans doute à moi aussi, parce que c’est de moi qu’il a écrit.
47 But because you did not believe what he wrote [about me], (you will certainly not believe what I say!/how will you believe what I say?) [RHQ]”
Mais si vous ne croyez point à ses écrits, comment croirez-vous à mes paroles?
