John 9
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
Comme il passait par là, il vit un homme aveugle de naissance.
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
Ses disciples lui demandèrent: « Rabbi, qui a péché, cet homme ou ses parents, pour qu'il soit né aveugle? »
3 Jesus replied, “His being blind was not because he or his parents sinned. Instead, [he has been blind] in order that [people can] see the power of God {the power of God can be seen} as a result of [what will now happen] to him.
Jésus répondit: Cet homme n'a pas péché, ni ses parents, mais c'est pour que les œuvres de Dieu soient révélées en lui.
4 While there is still time, I must do the work that the one who sent me [wants me to do. Just like daytime is followed by] nighttime when people do not work, [at the end of our lives] [MET] [it is too late for us to do what God wants].
Il faut que je fasse, pendant qu'il est jour, les œuvres de celui qui m'a envoyé. La nuit vient, où personne ne peut travailler.
5 While I am still [living] in this world, I am the [one who enables people to know about God, like] [MET] [a] light enables the people in [MTY] this world [to see what is in the darkness].”
Tant que je suis dans le monde, je suis la lumière du monde. »
6 After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made [a little bit of] mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
Après avoir dit cela, il cracha par terre, fit de la boue avec sa salive, oignit les yeux de l'aveugle avec cette boue,
7 Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ‘sent;’ [just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus]). So the man went and washed [in the pool], and when he went home he was able to see!
et lui dit: « Va te laver dans la piscine de Siloé » (qui signifie « Envoyé »). Il s'en alla donc, se lava, et revint voyant.
8 His neighbors and others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn’t he?”
C'est pourquoi les voisins et ceux qui avaient vu qu'il était aveugle auparavant disaient: « N'est-ce pas lui qui s'asseyait et mendiait? »
9 Some said, “[Yes], he is.” Others said, “No, [he is not]. It is [just] a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
D'autres disaient: « C'est lui. » D'autres encore disaient: « Il lui ressemble. » Il a dit: « Je suis lui. »
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
Ils lui demandaient donc: « Comment tes yeux ont-ils été ouverts? »
11 He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam [pool] and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
Il répondit: « Un homme appelé Jésus a fait de la boue, m'a oint les yeux et m'a dit: « Va te laver au bassin de Siloé ». Je suis donc parti, je me suis lavé, et j'ai recouvré la vue. »
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
Alors ils lui demandèrent: « Où est-il? » Il a dit: « Je ne sais pas. »
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
On amena aux pharisiens celui qui avait été aveugle.
14 The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest). [The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
C'était un sabbat quand Jésus fit la boue et lui ouvrit les yeux.
15 So the Pharisees also asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I can see!”
Les pharisiens lui demandèrent de nouveau comment il avait recouvré la vue. Il leur répondit: « Il a mis de la boue sur mes yeux, je me suis lavé, et je vois. »
16 So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man [Jesus] disobeys [our rules about working] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, (he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?) [RHQ]” So they were divided.
Quelques-uns des pharisiens disaient donc: « Cet homme ne vient pas de Dieu, parce qu'il n'observe pas le sabbat. » D'autres disaient: « Comment un homme qui est un pécheur peut-il faire de tels signes? » Il y eut donc division parmi eux.
17 So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “[I think] he is a prophet!” [So they told him to go].
C'est pourquoi ils redemandèrent à l'aveugle: « Que dis-tu de lui, puisqu'il t'a ouvert les yeux? » Il a dit: « C'est un prophète. »
18 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was [now] able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man’s parents.
Les Juifs ne crurent donc pas à son sujet, qu'il avait été aveugle et qu'il avait recouvré la vue, jusqu'à ce qu'ils aient appelé les parents de celui qui avait recouvré la vue,
19 [When they got there], one of [the Jewish leaders] asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? [If that is true], how is he now able to see?”
et leur aient demandé: « Est-ce là votre fils, que vous dites être né aveugle? Comment donc voit-il maintenant? »
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
Ses parents leur répondirent: « Nous savons que c'est notre fils, et qu'il est né aveugle;
21 But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough [to answer questions from authorities like you] He can tell you himself!”
mais nous ne savons pas comment il voit maintenant, ni qui lui a ouvert les yeux. Il est majeur. Interrogez-le. Il parlera lui-même. »
22 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from [entering] their synagogues. His parents [knew that, so] they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Ses parents disaient cela parce qu'ils craignaient les Juifs; car les Juifs étaient déjà convenus que si quelqu'un voulait le confesser comme le Christ, il serait chassé de la synagogue.
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
C'est pourquoi ses parents dirent: « Il est majeur. Demande-lui. »
24 So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. [When he got there], the [Jewish leaders] said to him, “Knowing that God [is listening] [IDM], tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
Ils appelèrent donc une seconde fois l'aveugle et lui dirent: « Rendez gloire à Dieu. Nous savons que cet homme est un pécheur. »
25 He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
Il répondit donc: « Je ne sais pas s'il est pécheur. Mais je sais une chose: j'étais aveugle, et maintenant je vois. »
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
Ils lui dirent encore: « Que t'a-t-il fait? Comment t'a-t-il ouvert les yeux? »
27 He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not [RHQ] pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? (Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though [IRO] you also want to become his disciples [RHQ]).”
Il leur répondit: « Je vous l'ai déjà dit, et vous n'avez pas écouté. Pourquoi voulez-vous l'entendre à nouveau? Vous ne voulez pas aussi devenir ses disciples, n'est-ce pas? ".
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
Ils l'insultèrent et dirent: « Tu es son disciple, mais nous sommes les disciples de Moïse.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he [gets any authority] from!”
Nous savons que Dieu a parlé à Moïse. Mais quant à cet homme, nous ne savons pas d'où il vient. »
30 The man replied, “That is very surprising! You [say that] you do not know where he [gets any authority]. But he enabled me to see!
L'homme leur répondit: « C'est étonnant! Vous ne savez pas d'où il vient, et pourtant il m'a ouvert les yeux.
31 We know that God does not help sinners [who ask God to help them]. Instead, he listens to [and helps] godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
Nous savons que Dieu n'écoute pas les pécheurs, mais si quelqu'un est un adorateur de Dieu et fait sa volonté, il l'écoute.
32 No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
Depuis le commencement du monde, on n'a jamais entendu dire que quelqu'un ait ouvert les yeux d'un aveugle-né. (aiōn g165)
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
Si cet homme ne venait pas de Dieu, il ne pourrait rien faire. »
34 They replied to him, “You (were born [as a result of your parents’] sin [EUP]/bastard)! (Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!) [RHQ]” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
Ils lui répondirent: « Tu es né tout entier dans le péché, et tu nous enseignes? » Alors ils le jetèrent dehors.
35 Jesus heard [people say] that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven [is the Messiah]?”
Jésus, ayant appris qu'ils l'avaient jeté dehors, le trouva et lui dit: « Crois-tu au Fils de Dieu? »
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
Il répondit: « Qui est-il, Seigneur, pour que je croie en lui? »
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
Jésus lui dit: « Vous l'avez vu tous les deux, et c'est lui qui vous parle. »
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
Il dit: « Seigneur, je crois », et il se prosterna devant lui.
39 Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge [the people in the world]. The result will be that [those who realize that they do not know God’s truth will perceive it. That is like] [MET] [enabling] those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who [falsely think] [IRO] that [they understand God’s truth will never understand it. That is like] [MET] [people] who are blind remaining blind permanently.”
Jésus a dit: « Je suis venu dans ce monde pour juger, afin que ceux qui ne voient pas voient, et que ceux qui voient deviennent aveugles. »
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are [like] blind people, are you?”
Ceux des pharisiens qui étaient avec lui entendirent ces choses, et lui dirent: « Sommes-nous aussi aveugles? »
41 Jesus said to them, “If you [realized that you did not yet know God’s truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like] blind people [who wanted to see. God would be able to] forgive your sins. But you are now [falsely] claiming that you [know God’s truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they] can see. [Because of that, God is not able to] forgive your sins.”
Jésus leur dit: « Si vous étiez aveugles, vous n'auriez pas de péché; mais maintenant vous dites: « Nous voyons ». C'est pourquoi votre péché demeure.
