John 6
1 Some time later, when Jesus was in Galilee district, near the time of the Jewish Passover celebration, Jesus went [with us disciples by boat] and crossed to another place along Galilee Lake. This lake is [also called] Tiberias Lake.
Après cela, Jésus passa de l'autre côté de la mer de Galilée — ou de Tibériade.
2 A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
Une grande foule le suivait, parce qu'elle voyait les miracles qu'il opérait sur ceux qui étaient malades.
3 Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
Mais Jésus monta sur la montagne, où il s'assit avec ses disciples.
4 Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
Or, la Pâque, la fête des Juifs, était proche.
5 He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
Ayant levé les yeux et voyant une grande foule qui venait à lui, Jésus dit à Philippe: Où achèterons-nous des pains, afin que ces gens aient à manger?
6 He asked this only to find out if Philip believed what [Jesus could do], because Jesus already knew what he himself was going to do.
Il disait cela pour l'éprouver; car il savait bien ce qu'il allait faire.
7 Philip replied to him, “[Even if we had] the amount of money a man earns in eight months, that would not be enough to buy bread so that each person could have a little bit!”
Philippe lui répondit: Deux cents deniers de pain ne suffiraient pas pour en donner un peu à chacun.
8 Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
Un de ses disciples, André, frère de Simon Pierre, lui dit:
9 “There is a boy here who has five small barley loaves and two [cooked] fish. But (they will not help much among so many people!/what good will that do among so many people?) [RHQ]”
Il y a ici un petit garçon, qui a cinq pains d'orge et deux poissons; mais qu'est-ce que cela pour tant de gens?
10 Jesus said, “Tell the people to sit down!” There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down [comfortably]. There were about 5,000 men [among the crowd].
Alors Jésus dit: Faites-les asseoir. Or, il y avait beaucoup d'herbe en ce lieu-là. Ils s'assirent donc, au nombre d'environ cinq mille hommes.
11 Then Jesus took the small loaves and the fish and thanked [God] for them. Then he [gave them to us, and we] distributed the small loaves and the fish to all the people sitting on the ground. [Because God caused the food to keep increasing], everyone ate as much as they wanted.
Jésus prit les pains, et, après avoir rendu grâces, il les distribua à ceux qui étaient assis; il leur donna de même des poissons, autant qu'ils en voulaient.
12 When everyone had all the food they wanted, he said to [us] disciples, “Gather up the pieces that are left over. Do not let anything be wasted!”
Lorsqu'ils furent rassasiés, il dit à ses disciples: Ramassez les morceaux qui restent, afin que rien ne se perde.
13 So we gathered up the pieces of the small loaves that were left over by those who had eaten. We filled twelve baskets with those pieces!
Ils les ramassèrent donc, et ils remplirent douze paniers des morceaux qui étaient restés des cinq pains d'orge, après qu'on eut mangé.
14 After the people saw that miracle that Jesus had performed, [many of] them started to say, “Surely this is the prophet [like Moses] that [God promised] to send to the world!”
Ces gens, ayant vu le miracle que Jésus avait fait, disaient: Celui-ci est vraiment le prophète qui doit venir dans le monde.
15 So, because Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him to make him [their] king, he left them again and went up into the hills by himself.
Alors Jésus, sachant qu'ils allaient venir l'enlever pour le faire roi, se retira de nouveau seul sur la montagne.
16 When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
Quand le soir fut venu, ses disciples descendirent au bord de la mer;
17 When it became dark and Jesus had still not joined us, [we] got into a boat and went across the lake towards Capernaum [city].
et, étant entrés dans une barque, ils se dirigeaient de l'autre côté, vers Capernaüm. L'obscurité les surprit, et Jésus ne les avait pas encore rejoints.
18 A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
Le vent soufflait avec violence, de sorte que la mer était très agitée.
19 After we had rowed (three or four miles/five or six kilometers), we saw Jesus coming near the boat; he was walking on the water! So we were terrified!
Quand ils eurent ramé environ vingt-cinq ou trente stades, ils virent Jésus qui marchait sur la mer et qui s'approchait de la barque; et ils eurent peur.
20 But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
Mais il leur dit: C'est moi, n'ayez point de peur!
21 We were glad to take him into the boat. As soon as [we] did that, the boat reached the shore where [we] were going!
Ils voulurent alors le prendre dans la barque; et aussitôt, la barque aborda au lieu où ils allaient.
22 The next day the crowd of people that had stayed on the other side of the lake [were perplexed about how Jesus had left that area]. They knew that there had been only one boat there [the previous day]. They knew that we had gone away in it by ourselves. They knew that Jesus had not gone with us.
La foule, restée de l'autre côté de la mer, avait remarqué qu'il n'y avait là qu'une seule barque, et que Jésus n'y était pas monté avec ses disciples, mais que les disciples étaient partis seuls.
23 Then some [men came] from Tiberias [city] in boats. [They were hoping to take some of the crowd back to Tiberias]. They arrived near the place where the people had eaten the food after Jesus had given thanks [and caused it to multiply].
Le lendemain, — comme d'autres barques étaient arrivées de Tibériade près du lieu où ils avaient mangé le pain, après que le Seigneur eut rendu grâces, —
24 When the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor we disciples were there, [some of] them got into those boats and they sailed to Capernaum to find Jesus.
la foule, voyant que Jésus n'était pas là, ni ses disciples non plus, monta dans ces barques et vint à Capernaüm pour y chercher Jésus.
25 When they found him [in Capernaum] further around the lake, they asked him, “Teacher, [since you(sg) did not come in a boat], when [and how] did you get here?”
Et l'ayant trouvé de l'autre côté de la mer, ils lui dirent: Maître, quand es-tu arrivé ici?
26 Jesus replied to them, “Listen to this carefully: Do you know why you are looking for me? It is not because you saw [me perform] miracles [and as a result have realized who I really am]. No! You are looking for me [only] because you had plenty of bread to eat [after I provided it for you by performing a miracle].
Jésus leur répondit: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le déclare, vous me cherchez, non parce que vous avez vu des miracles, mais parce que vous avez mangé des pains et que vous avez été rassasiés.
27 Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get [spiritual] food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God [my] Father has shown that he approves of me [enabling me to do that].” (aiōnios g166)
Travaillez, non pour la nourriture qui périt, mais pour celle qui subsiste jusque dans la vie éternelle, et que le Fils de l'homme vous donnera; car c'est lui que le Père, Dieu lui-même, a marqué de son sceau. (aiōnios g166)
28 Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
Ils lui dirent: Que ferons-nous pour travailler aux oeuvres de Dieu?
29 Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
Jésus leur répondit: C'est ici l'oeuvre de Dieu, que vous croyiez en Celui qu'il a envoyé.
30 So they said to him, “Then perform [another] miracle so that we may see it and believe that [you came from God]. What miracle would you like to perform?
Alors ils lui dirent: Quel miracle fais-tu donc, afin que nous le voyions et que nous croyions en toi? Quelle oeuvre accomplis-tu?
31 Our ancestors ate the [food called] manna [that God provided for them by a miracle] in the desolate area. This is written {[The Psalmist] wrote this} [in the Scriptures] about [what Moses caused to happen: ] ‘He gave them food from heaven to eat.’ [Will you perform a miracle like that]?”
Nos pères ont mangé la manne dans le désert, suivant ce qui est écrit: «Il leur a donné à manger le pain venu du ciel»
32 So Jesus said to them, “The truth is that it was not Moses who gave your [ancestors] that food from heaven. No, it was my Father [who gave it to them. And my Father is the one] who gives you the true food from heaven.
Jésus leur répondit: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis. Moïse ne vous a point donné le pain du ciel; mais mon Père vous donne le vrai pain qui vient du ciel.
33 The true bread from God came down from heaven, and he is the one who will give [eternal] life to [the people of] the world [MTY].”
Car le pain de Dieu est celui qui descend du ciel, et qui donne la vie au monde.
34 [Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
Ils lui dirent: Seigneur, donne-nous toujours ce pain-là!
35 Jesus said to them, “[Just like] food [MET] [sustains physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life. Those who [eat ordinary food and drinks will later be hungry and thirsty]. But those who come to me [to receive that life] will never again [lack anything spiritually].
Jésus reprit: Je suis le pain de vie; celui qui vient à moi n'aura jamais faim, et celui qui croit en moi n'aura jamais soif.
36 I told you before that you have seen my [miracles, but after seeing them, instead of understanding who I am], you have not believed in me.
Mais je vous l'ai dit: Vous m'avez vu, et vous ne croyez pas.
37 All the people that [my] Father entrusts to me will come to me, and I will certainly (welcome/never send away) [LIT] anyone who comes to me.
Tout ce que le Père me donne viendra à moi, et je ne mettrai point dehors celui qui vient à moi.
38 When I came down from heaven, it was not to do what I want. Instead, I came to do what ([God/my Father]), who sent me, wants.
Car je suis descendu du ciel pour faire, non ma volonté, mais la volonté de Celui qui m'a envoyé.
39 What the one who sent me wants is that I (keep forever all/never lose any) [LIT] of those whom he has entrusted to me. He wants me to cause all of them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].
Or, la volonté de Celui qui m'a envoyé, c'est que je ne perde aucun de ceux qu'il m'a donnés, mais que je les ressuscite au dernier jour.
40 [Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET]. What my Father wants is that [similarly] everyone who looks at [what] I [have done] and believes in me will have eternal life. I will cause them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].” (aiōnios g166)
Voici la volonté de mon Père: c'est que quiconque contemple le Fils et croit en lui, ait la vie éternelle; et moi, je le ressusciterai au dernier jour. (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the one who is [like] true bread who came down from heaven.”
Cependant, les Juifs murmuraient contre lui, parce qu'il avait dit: Je suis le pain descendu du ciel.
42 They said, “(This man is Jesus, the son of Joseph!/Isn’t this man the son of Joseph?) [RHQ] We know [the names of] both his father and his mother. [He certainly did not come from heaven], so (he is [lying] by saying ‘I came from heaven.’/why is he now saying, ‘I came from heaven?’) [RHQ]”
Et ils disaient: N'est-ce pas là Jésus, le fils de Joseph, dont nous connaissons le père et la mère? Comment donc dit-il: Je suis descendu du ciel?
43 Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
Jésus leur répondit: Ne murmurez pas entre vous.
44 [My] Father, who sent me, makes people want to come to me. No others will come to me [to receive eternal life]. Those who come to me are the only ones who will believe in me. I will (cause them to be alive again/raise them [from the dead]) (on the last day/on the [judgment] day).
Personne ne peut venir à moi, si le Père qui m'a envoyé ne l'attire; et je le ressusciterai au dernier jour.
45 It was written ([by one of the prophets/by the prophet Isaiah]) {([One of the prophets/The prophet Isaiah]) wrote} [about all those who will trust in me], ‘God will teach them all.’ Everyone who listens to what [my] Father [says] and learns from him will (come to/believe in) me.
Il est écrit dans les prophètes: «Ils seront tous enseignés de Dieu.» Quiconque a écouté le Père et a été instruit par lui, vient à moi.
46 I came from God. I am the only one who has seen [my] Father. No one else has seen him.
Ce n'est pas que personne ait vu le Père, si ce n'est Celui qui vient de Dieu; celui-là a vu le Père.
47 Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, celui qui croit a la vie éternelle. (aiōnios g166)
48 [Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
Je suis le pain de vie.
49 Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
Vos pères ont mangé la manne dans le désert, et ils sont morts.
50 But the bread [I am talking about] is something that came down from heaven. If people eat that bread, their [spirits] will never die.
C'est ici le pain qui descend du ciel, afin que celui qui en mange ne meure point.
51 I am the one who came down from heaven to enable people to have [spiritual] life. If people take what I will give them, they will live forever. What I will give them is my flesh, which I will give to [all the people in] [MTY] the world in order that they may have [spiritual] life.” (aiōn g165)
Je suis le pain vivant qui est descendu du ciel; si quelqu'un mange de ce pain, il vivra éternellement; et le pain que je donnerai pour la vie du monde, c'est ma chair. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to argue among themselves. They said, “(There is no way this man can give us his flesh to eat!/How can this man give us his flesh to eat?)” [RHQ]
Là-dessus, les Juifs disputaient entre eux, disant: Comment cet homme peut-il nous donner sa chair à manger?
53 So, [speaking figuratively of the need for them to accept for themselves the benefits of his sacrificing himself and shedding his blood to atone for their sins] [MET], Jesus said to them, “Listen carefully to this: [Although] I am the one who came from heaven, if you do not eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have eternal life.
Jésus leur dit alors: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le déclare, si vous ne mangez la chair du Fils de l'homme, et si vous ne buvez son sang, vous n'avez point la vie en vous-mêmes.
54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will cause them to become alive again at (the last day/the [judgment] day), (aiōnios g166)
Celui qui mange ma chair et qui boit mon sang, a la vie éternelle; et je le ressusciterai au dernier jour. (aiōnios g166)
55 because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
Car ma chair est vraiment une nourriture, et mon sang est vraiment un breuvage.
56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with them.
Celui qui mange ma chair et boit mon sang, demeure en moi, et moi en lui.
57 [My] Father, who is the [source of everything that] lives, sent me, and I live because [my] Father has [given me life]. Similarly those who eat my [flesh] will live [eternally] because of what I [do for them].
De même que le Père, qui m'a envoyé, est vivant, et que moi, je vis par le Père, de même aussi, celui qui me mange vivra par moi.
58 [I am] the true bread that came down from heaven. Although our ancestors ate [manna], they [later] died [anyway]. But those who eat this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
C'est ici le pain qui est descendu du ciel. Il n'en est pas de lui comme de la manne que vos pères ont mangée., et ils sont morts; celui qui mange ce pain vivra éternellement. (aiōn g165)
59 He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
Jésus dit ces choses, en enseignant dans la synagogue, à Capernaüm.
60 After they heard him say that, many of his disciples said, “What he is teaching is hard [to understand]; (it is very difficult for anyone to accept it!/how can anyone accept it?) [RHQ]”
Plusieurs de ses disciples, l'ayant entendu, dirent: Cette parole est dure; qui peut l'écouter?
61 Jesus was aware that his disciples were grumbling about it, so he said to them, “(I am sorry that this is offending you./Is this offending you?) [RHQ]
Mais Jésus, connaissant en lui-même que ses disciples murmuraient à ce sujet, leur dit: Cela vous scandalise-t-il?
62 ([Perhaps you will believe my message] if you see me, the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before!/[(What will you think if you see me], the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before)?) [RHQ]
Que sera-ce donc, si vous voyez le Fils de l'homme monter où il était auparavant?
63 [God’s] Spirit is the one who gives people [eternal] life. Human efforts are no help at all [for giving people eternal life]. The message I have spoken to you [gives spiritual] life (OR, [comes from] God’s Spirit [and gives eternal] life.)
C'est l'esprit qui vivifie, la chair ne sert de rien. Les paroles que je vous ai dites sont esprit et vie.
64 But there are some of you who do not believe [my message.” Jesus said that] because he knew from the time he started [MTY] [his ministry] which of them would not believe his message. He also knew who would (betray him/enable his enemies to seize him).
Mais il y en a parmi vous qui ne croient pas. En effet, Jésus savait, dès le commencement, quels étaient ceux qui ne croyaient pas, et quel était celui qui le trahirait.
65 Then he continued by saying, “That is why I told you that only those whom my Father has enabled [to believe in me] will come to me [and receive eternal life].”
Et il disait: C'est à cause de cela que je vous ai déclaré que personne ne peut venir à moi, si cela ne lui a pas été donné par le Père.
66 From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
Dès ce moment, plusieurs de ses disciples se retirèrent, et ils n'allaient plus avec lui.
67 So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
Jésus dit aux Douze: Et vous, voulez-vous aussi vous en aller?
68 Simon Peter replied to him, “Lord, [we] will not [leave you], [because] (there is no other person [like you] to whom we can go!/what other person is there like [you] to whom we can go?) [RHQ] You have the message about eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
Simon Pierre lui répondit: Seigneur, à qui irions-nous? Tu as les paroles de la vie éternelle; (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
et nous avons cru, et nous avons connu que tu es le Saint de Dieu.
70 Then Jesus replied to us, “[You are saying that as though all] you twelve [men] whom I have chosen [RHQ] believe that. But one of you is [under the control of] Satan!”
Jésus leur répondit: Ne vous ai-je pas choisis, vous les Douze? Et l'un de vous est un démon!
71 He was talking about Judas, the [son] of Simon, from Kerioth [village]. [Even though] Judas was one of us twelve [apostles], he was about (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
Or il parlait de Judas, fils de Simon Iscariote; car c'était lui, l'un des Douze, qui devait le trahir.
