Jean 9
1 Jésus vit, en passant, un homme aveugle de naissance.
As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 Ses disciples lui firent cette question: Rabbi, qui a péché, cet homme ou ses parents, pour qu’il soit né aveugle?
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, 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, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed 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 who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Pendant que je suis dans le monde, je suis lalumière du monde.
While 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,
When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
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 means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back 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?
Therefore the neighbours and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
9 Les uns disaient: C’est lui. D’autres disaient: Non, mais il lui ressemble. Et lui-même disait: C’est moi.
Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
10 Ils lui dirent donc: Comment tes yeux ont-ils été ouverts?
They therefore were asking him, “How were your 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, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
12 Ils lui dirent: Où est cet homme? Il répondit: Je ne sais.
Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
13 Ils menèrent vers les pharisiens celui qui avait été aveugle.
They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Or, c’était un jour de sabbat que Jésus avait fait de la boue, et lui avait ouvert les yeux.
It was a Sabbath 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.
Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I 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.
Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division amongst 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.
Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “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.
The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
19 Et ils les interrogèrent, disant: Est-ce là votre fils, que vous dites être né aveugle? Comment donc voit-il maintenant?
and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 Ses parents répondirent: Nous savons que c’est notre fils, et qu’il est né aveugle;
His parents answered them, “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 sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
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.
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 C’est pourquoi ses parents dirent: Il a de l’âge, interrogez-le lui-même.
Therefore his parents said, “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.
So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give 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.
He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
26 Ils lui dirent: Que t’a-t-il fait? Comment t’a-t-il ouvert les yeux?
They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
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 told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
28 Ils l’injurièrent et dirent: C’est toi qui es son disciple; nous, nous sommes disciples de Moïse.
They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are 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 has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
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 answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he 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.
We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone 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 do nothing.”
34 Ils lui répondirent: Tu es né tout entier dans le péché, et tu nous enseignes! Et ils le chassèrent.
They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw 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 thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 Il répondit: Et qui est-il, Seigneur, afin que je croie en lui?
He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
37 Tu l’as vu, lui dit Jésus, et celui qui te parle, c’est lui.
Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
38 Et il dit: Je crois, Seigneur. Et il se prosterna devant lui.
He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he 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.
Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgement, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
40 Quelques pharisiens qui étaient avec lui, ayant entendu ces paroles, lui dirent: Nous aussi, sommes-nous aveugles?
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
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 you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
