John 9
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
Comme Jésus passait, 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?”
Et ses disciples lui demandèrent: Maître, 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: Ce n'est pas que lui ou ses parents aient péché, mais c'est afin que les oeuvres de Dieu soient manifestées 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].
Tandis qu'il fait jour, il me faut accomplir les oeuvres de Celui qui m'a envoyé; la nuit vient, dans laquelle 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].”
Pendant 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.
Ayant dit cela, il cracha à terre et fit de la boue avec sa salive; et il oignit de cette boue les yeux de l'aveugle.
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!
Puis il lui dit: Va; lave-toi au réservoir de Siloé — mot qui signifie Envoyé. — Il y alla donc et se lava, et il revint voyant clair.
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?”
Ses voisins, et ceux qui l'avaient vu auparavant demander l'aumône, disaient: N'est-ce pas celui qui se tenait assis et qui 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!”
Les uns disaient: C'est lui. D'autres disaient: Non, mais c'est quelqu'un qui lui ressemble. Lui disait: C'est bien moi.
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
Ils lui demandèrent alors: 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; Cet homme, qu'on appelle Jésus, a fait de la boue; il en a oint mes yeux, et il m'a dit: Va au réservoir de Siloé, et lave-toi. J'y suis donc allé, je m'y suis lavé, et je vois.
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
Ils lui dirent: Où est cet homme? Il répondit: Je ne sais pas.
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
Ils amenèrent 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]).
Or, c'était un jour de sabbat que Jésus avait fait de la boue et avait ouvert les yeux de cet homme.
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 à leur tour comment il avait recouvré la vue. Il leur répondit: Il m'a mis de la boue sur les 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.
Alors quelques-uns des pharisiens dirent: Cet homme ne vient point de la part de Dieu, puisqu'il n'observe pas le sabbat. Mais d'autres disaient: Comment un pécheur pourrait-il faire de tels miracles? Et ils étaient divisés entre 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].
Alors ils demandèrent de nouveau à l'aveugle: Et toi, que dis-tu de cet homme, qui t'a ouvert les yeux? Il répondit: 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.
Mais les Juifs ne crurent pas que cet homme eût été aveugle et qu'il eût recouvré la vue, jusqu'à ce qu'ils eussent fait venir son père et sa mère.
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?”
Ils les interrogèrent et leur dirent: Est-ce bien 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 répondirent: Nous savons que c'est là 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 comment il se fait qu'il voit maintenant, nous ne le savons pas. Nous ne savons pas non plus qui lui a ouvert les yeux. Interrogez-le; il a de l'âge, il s'expliquera 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 dirent cela, parce qu'ils craignaient les Juifs; car les Juifs avaient déjà décidé que si quelqu'un reconnaissait Jésus pour 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 pour cela que ses parents dirent: Il a de l'âge, interrogez-le.
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.”
Les pharisiens appelèrent donc pour la seconde fois l'homme qui avait été aveugle, et ils lui dirent: Donne 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: Je ne sais si c'est un pécheur; je sais une chose, c'est que j'étais aveugle, et que 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 ne m'avez pas écouté. Pourquoi voulez-vous l'entendre encore une fois? Voulez-vous, vous aussi, devenir ses disciples?
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
Alors ils se mirent à l'injurier, et ils lui dirent: C'est toi qui es son disciple; nous, 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 celui-ci, nous ne savons d'où il est.
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!
Cet homme répondit: C'est là ce qui est étonnant, que vous ne sachiez pas d'où il est, alors qu'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'exauce pas les pécheurs; mais si quelqu'un craint Dieu et fait sa volonté, il l'exauce.
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)
Jamais on n'a 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 la part 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 entièrement dans le péché, et tu veux nous enseigner! Puis 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 apprit qu'on l'avait chassé; et, l'ayant rencontré, il 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: Tu l'as vu, et c'est lui-même qui te parle!
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
Il reprit: Je crois. Seigneur! 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.”
Alors Jésus dit: Je suis venu dans le monde pour exercer ce jugement: que ceux qui ne voient point, 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 auprès de lui entendirent cela, et ils lui dirent: Et nous, sommes-nous aussi des 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 répondit: Si vous étiez aveugles, vous seriez sans péché, mais comme vous dites: Nous voyons. — c'est pour cela que votre péché subsiste.
