Jean 9
1 Jésus vit, en passant, un homme aveugle de naissance.
AND as he passed along, he saw a man blind from his birth.
2 Ses disciples lui firent cette question: Rabbi, qui a péché, cet homme ou ses parents, pour qu’il soit né aveugle?
And his disciples inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jésus répondit: Ce n’est pas que lui ou ses parents aient péché; mais c’est afin que les œuvres de Dieu soient manifestées en lui.
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man been in fault, nor his parents; but it is in order to make manifest the works of God in him.
4 Il faut que je fasse, tandis qu’il est jour, les œuvres de celui qui m’a envoyé; la nuit vient, où personne ne peut travailler.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Pendant que je suis dans le monde, je suis lalumière du monde.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Après avoir dit cela, il cracha à terre, et fit de la boue avec sa salive. Puis il appliqua cette boue sur les yeux de l’aveugle,
So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man;
7 et lui dit: Va, et lave-toi au réservoir de Siloé (nom qui signifie envoyé). Il y alla, se lava, et s’en retourna voyant clair.
and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing.
8 Ses voisins et ceux qui auparavant l’avaient connu comme un mendiant disaient: N’est-ce pas là celui qui se tenait assis et qui mendiait?
The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging?
9 Les uns disaient: C’est lui. D’autres disaient: Non, mais il lui ressemble. Et lui-même disait: C’est moi.
Some said, That this is he: but others, That he is like him: he himself said, I am he.
10 Ils lui dirent donc: Comment tes yeux ont-ils été ouverts?
When said they to him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 Il répondit: L’homme qu’on appelle Jésus a fait de la boue, a oint mes yeux, et m’a dit: Va au réservoir de Siloé, et lave-toi. J’y suis allé, je me suis lavé, et j’ai recouvré la vue.
he answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: then I went, and washing received sight.
12 Ils lui dirent: Où est cet homme? Il répondit: Je ne sais.
They said to him, Where is he? He replied, I know not.
13 Ils menèrent vers les pharisiens celui qui avait été aveugle.
They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.
14 Or, c’était un jour de sabbat que Jésus avait fait de la boue, et lui avait ouvert les yeux.
(Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.)
15 De nouveau, les pharisiens aussi lui demandèrent comment il avait recouvré la vue. Et il leur dit: Il a appliqué de la boue sur mes yeux, je me suis lavé, et je vois.
The Pharisees therefore questioned him again, How he had received sight? And he told them, He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Sur quoi quelques-uns des pharisiens dirent: Cet homme ne vient pas de Dieu, car il n’observe pas le sabbat. D’autres dirent: Comment un homme pécheur peut-il faire de tels miracles? Et il y eut division parmi eux.
Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he observeth not the sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a wicked man to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 Ils dirent encore à l’aveugle: Toi, que dis-tu de lui, sur ce qu’il t’a ouvert les yeux? Il répondit: C’est un prophète.
They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him? that he opened thine eyes? Then he replied, That he is a prophet.
18 Les Juifs ne crurent point qu’il eût été aveugle et qu’il eût recouvré la vue jusqu’à ce qu’ils eussent fait venir ses parents.
Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received sight.
19 Et ils les interrogèrent, disant: Est-ce là votre fils, que vous dites être né aveugle? Comment donc voit-il maintenant?
And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 Ses parents répondirent: Nous savons que c’est notre fils, et qu’il est né aveugle;
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 mais comment il voit maintenant, ou qui lui a ouvert les yeux, c’est ce que nous ne savons. Interrogez-le lui-même, il a de l’âge, il parlera de ce qui le concerne.
but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.
22 Ses parents dirent cela parce qu’ils craignaient les Juifs; car les Juifs étaient déjà convenus que, si quelqu’un reconnaissait Jésus pour le Christ, il serait exclu de la synagogue.
So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.
23 C’est pourquoi ses parents dirent: Il a de l’âge, interrogez-le lui-même.
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 Les pharisiens appelèrent une seconde fois l’homme qui avait été aveugle, et ils lui dirent: Donne gloire à Dieu; nous savons que cet homme est un pécheur.
The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Il répondit: S’il est un pécheur, je ne sais; je sais une chose, c’est que j’étais aveugle et que maintenant je vois.
Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Ils lui dirent: Que t’a-t-il fait? Comment t’a-t-il ouvert les yeux?
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves?
27 Il leur répondit: Je vous l’ai déjà dit, et vous n’avez pas écouté; pourquoi voulez-vous l’entendre encore? Voulez-vous aussi devenir ses disciples?
He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples?
28 Ils l’injurièrent et dirent: C’est toi qui es son disciple; nous, nous sommes disciples de Moïse.
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 Nous savons que Dieu a parlé à Moïse; mais celui-ci, nous ne savons d’où il est.
We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is.
30 Cet homme leur répondit: Il est étonnant que vous ne sachiez d’où il est; et cependant il m’a ouvert les yeux.
The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes.
31 Nous savons que Dieu n’exauce point les pécheurs; mais, si quelqu’un l’honore et fait sa volonté, c’est celui là qu’il exauce.
Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Si cet homme ne venait pas de Dieu, il ne pourrait rien faire.
If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing.
34 Ils lui répondirent: Tu es né tout entier dans le péché, et tu nous enseignes! Et ils le chassèrent.
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jésus apprit qu’ils l’avaient chassé; et, l’ayant rencontré, il lui dit: Crois-tu au Fils de Dieu?
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?
36 Il répondit: Et qui est-il, Seigneur, afin que je croie en lui?
The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him?
37 Tu l’as vu, lui dit Jésus, et celui qui te parle, c’est lui.
Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person.
38 Et il dit: Je crois, Seigneur. Et il se prosterna devant lui.
Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.
39 Puis Jésus dit: Je suis venu dans ce monde pour un jugement, pour que ceux qui ne voient point voient, et que ceux qui voient deviennent aveugles.
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind.
40 Quelques pharisiens qui étaient avec lui, ayant entendu ces paroles, lui dirent: Nous aussi, sommes-nous aveugles?
And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, Are we blind also?
41 Jésus leur répondit: Si vous étiez aveugles, vous n’auriez pas de péché. Mais maintenant vous dites: Nous voyons. C’est pour cela que votre péché subsiste.
Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye should not have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent.
