Jean 19
1 Pilate fit donc alors prendre Jésus, et le fit fouetter.
Then Pilate took Jesus [inside and had soldiers] (scourge Jesus/strike Jesus with a whip that had pieces of metal or bone fastened to it).
2 Et les soldats firent une couronne d'épines qu'ils mirent sur sa tête, et le vêtirent d'un vêtement de pourpre.
The soldiers also took [some branches with] thorns and wove them to make [something like] a crown. Then they put it on his head. They also put a purple robe on him. [They did these things to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
3 Puis ils lui disaient: Roi des Juifs, nous te saluons; et ils lui donnaient des coups avec leurs verges.
Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
4 Et Pilate sortit encore dehors, et leur dit: voici, je vous l'amène dehors, afin que vous sachiez que je ne trouve aucun crime en lui.
Once more Pilate came outside and said to the crowd, “Look! I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him [any more].”
5 Jésus donc sortit portant la couronne d'épines, et le vêtement de pourpre; et Pilate leur dit: voici l'homme.
When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
6 Mais quand les principaux Sacrificateurs et leurs huissiers le virent, ils s'écrièrent, en disant: crucifie, crucifie. Pilate leur dit: prenez-le vous-mêmes, et le crucifiez: car je ne trouve point de crime en lui.
When the chief priests and Temple guards saw him, they shouted, “Command your soldiers to kill him by nailing him to a cross! Crucify him!” Pilate, [knowing that they could not legally do it themselves], said to them, “You yourselves take him and nail him to a cross! As for me, I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him.”
7 Les Juifs lui répondirent: nous avons une loi, et selon notre loi il doit mourir, car il s'est fait Fils de Dieu.
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “[Our ancestor Moses gave us] the law that says we must kill anyone [who claims to be God]. This man claims that he is (the Son of/the man who is also) God, [so you must have him killed] {[command your soldiers to kill him]}.”
8 Or quand Pilate eut ouï cette parole, il craignit encore davantage.
When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
9 Et il rentra dans le Prétoire, et dit à Jésus: d'où es-tu? Mais Jésus ne lui donna point de réponse.
So he [took Jesus] back inside the headquarters. He said to Jesus, “Where do you [really] come from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
10 Et Pilate lui dit: ne me parles-tu point? ne sais-tu pas que j'ai le pouvoir de te crucifier, et le pouvoir de te délivrer?
So Pilate said to him, “Are you refusing to answer me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I [also] have authority to [have] you crucified {command my soldiers to crucify you}?”
11 Jésus lui répondit: tu n'aurais aucun pouvoir sur moi, s'il ne t'était donné d'en haut; c'est pourquoi celui qui m'a livré à toi, a fait un plus grand péché.
Jesus replied, “The only authority you have is what has been given to you by God [MTY] {what God [MTY] has given you}. The [high priest] put me into your hands. [He has done to me what he wanted to do, and you do not really want to do it]. So he is guilty of committing a greater sin than you are.”
12 Depuis cela Pilate tâchait à le délivrer; mais les Juifs criaient, en disant: si tu délivres celui-ci tu n'es point ami de César; car quiconque se fait Roi, est contraire à César.
Because of that, Pilate kept trying to release Jesus. But the Jewish [leaders][SYN], [threatening to report to the Emperor that Pilate was not going to punish a man who claimed he was a king], continued to shout, “Anyone who claims that he is a king is opposing the Emperor! So if you release this man, [we will make sure that] the Emperor [learns about it, and then he will not consider you as] his friend!”
13 Quand Pilate eut ouï cette parole, il amena Jésus dehors, et s'assit au Siège judicial, dans le lieu qui est appelé [le Pavé], et en Hébreu Gabbatha.
When Pilate heard that, he brought Jesus out again. He sat down at the place where he made decisions [about punishing people]. The place was called {People called it} The Stone Pavement. In the Aramaic language its name was Gabbatha.
14 Or c'était la préparation de la Pâque, et [il était] environ six heures; et [Pilate] dit aux Juifs: voilà votre Roi.
It was almost noontime, on the day that they prepared [things for] the Passover [celebration] (OR, the day before the [Sabbath during] the Passover [celebration]). Pilate said to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [ridiculing them], “Look at your king!”
15 Mais ils criaient: ôte, ôte, crucifie-le. Pilate leur dit: crucifierai-je votre Roi? Les principaux Sacrificateurs répondirent: nous n'avons point d'autre Roi que César.
They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! [Have] him crucified {Command your soldiers to nail him to a cross}!” Pilate said to them, “[He is] your king! Do you really want me to [tell my soldiers to] nail him to a cross?” The chief priests replied, “The Emperor is our king! We do not have any other king!”
16 Alors donc il le leur livra pour être crucifié. Ils prirent donc Jésus, et l'emmenèrent.
Then [at last] Pilate agreed to do [what they wanted, and he told the soldiers] to crucify Jesus. John 19:16b-24 Then the soldiers took Jesus away.
17 Et [Jésus] portant sa croix, vint au lieu appelé le Calvaire, et en Hébreu Golgotha;
[As they left], he himself was carrying the cross [on which they were going to nail him]. They went to a place called The Place of a Skull. In the Aramaic language it is called {they call it} Golgotha.
18 Où ils le crucifièrent, et deux autres avec lui, un de chaque côté, et Jésus au milieu.
There, [after removing most of his clothes], the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They also [nailed] two other [criminals to crosses]. There was one on each side, and Jesus was in the middle.
19 Or Pilate fit un écriteau, qu'il mit sur la croix, où étaient écrits ces mots: JESUS NAZARIEN LE ROI DES JUIFS.
Pilate also [had them] write [on a board] a notice [that stated why they were executing him], and fasten it to the cross. But all they wrote was ‘Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews’.
20 Et plusieurs des Juifs lurent cet écriteau, parce que le lieu où Jésus était crucifié, était près de la ville; et cet écriteau était en Hébreu, en Grec, [et] en Latin.
Many Jews were [able to] read this sign, because the place where Jesus was nailed {where they nailed Jesus} to the cross was very close to [Jerusalem, where many people had come for the celebration], and because it was written {they wrote it} in three languages: Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 C'est pourquoi les principaux Sacrificateurs des Juifs dirent à Pilate: n'écris point, le Roi des Juifs; mais, que celui-ci a dit: je suis le Roi des Juifs.
So the Jewish priests went back to Pilate and protested, saying to him, “Change what they have written from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘This man said that he is the King of the Jews’!”
22 Pilate répondit: ce que j'ai écrit, je l'ai écrit.
Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
23 Or quand les soldats eurent crucifié Jésus, ils prirent ses vêtements, et en firent quatre parts, une part pour chaque soldat; [ils prirent] aussi la tunique; mais elle était sans couture, tissue depuis le haut jusqu'en bas.
After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But they kept his cloak [separate]. This cloak was without seam, woven [from top to bottom], one piece of cloth.
24 Et ils dirent entre eux: ne la mettons point en pièces, mais jetons-la au sort, [pour savoir] à qui elle sera. Et [cela arriva ainsi], afin que l'Ecriture fût accomplie, disant: ils ont partagé entre eux mes vêtements, et ils ont jeté au sort ma robe; les soldats donc firent ces choses.
So they said to each other, “Let’s not tear it. Instead, let’s [decide] ([by] throwing lots/[by] gambling) who will get it.” So that is what the soldiers did. As a result, these words were fulfilled {they fulfilled these words} that [the Psalmist had written] in Scripture, They divided [most of] my clothes among themselves. They cast lots for [one piece of] my clothing.
25 Or près de la croix de Jésus étaient sa mère, et la sœur de sa mère, [savoir] Marie [femme] de Cléopas, et Marie Magdelaine.
Near the cross where [they had nailed] Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and [another] Mary, the woman from Magdala [village].
26 Et Jésus voyant sa mère, et auprès d'elle le Disciple qu'il aimait, il dit à sa mère: femme, voilà ton Fils.
Jesus saw his mother standing there. He also saw me standing nearby. Then he said to his mother, “This man [will now be like] your son.”
27 Puis il dit au Disciple: voilà ta Mère; et dès cette heure-là ce Disciple la reçut chez lui.
And he said to me, “[Treat this] woman as [MET] your mother.” So from that time I took her to my home [and took care of her].
28 Après cela Jésus sachant que toutes choses étaient déjà accomplies, il dit, afin que l'Ecriture fût accomplie: j'ai soif.
Later, Jesus knew that everything [that God sent him to do] had now been completed {that he had now completed everything [that God sent him to do]}, [but he knew that something else that was written in] the Scriptures [had] to be fulfilled {[that he had] to fulfill [something else that they had written in] the Scriptures}. So he said, “I am thirsty!”
29 Et il y avait là un vase plein de vinaigre, ils emplirent donc de vinaigre une éponge, et la mirent au bout d'une branche d'hysope, et la lui présentèrent à la bouche.
There was a jar of sour wine there. So [someone took] a stalk of [a plant called] hyssop and [fastened] a sponge [to it. Then] he dipped [the sponge into the wine and] lifted it up to Jesus’ lips.
30 Et quand Jésus eut pris le vinaigre, il dit: tout est accompli; et ayant baissé la tête, il rendit l'esprit.
When Jesus tasted the sour wine, he shouted, “[I] have finished [all that I came to do]!” Then he bowed his head and (died/handed over his spirit [to God]).
31 Alors les Juifs, afin que les corps ne demeurassent point en croix au jour du Sabbat, parce que c'était la préparation, (or c'était un grand jour du Sabbat) prièrent Pilate qu'on leur rompît les jambes, et qu'on les ôtât.
That was the day that they prepared [everything for their] ([Sabbath/day of rest]). The next day was a special day of rest, [because it was the day of rest during the Passover celebration]. The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not want the bodies [of the three men] to remain on the cross during their (Sabbath/day of rest) [because leaving bodies hanging overnight would be contrary to their Jewish laws]. So they went to Pilate and asked him [to command that] the legs [of the three men on the crosses] be broken {the [soldiers] to break the legs [of the three men on the crosses]}, [so that they would die quickly]. Then their [bodies] could be taken down [and buried] {someone could take down their bodies [and bury them]}.
32 Les soldats donc vinrent, et rompirent les jambes au premier, et de même à l'autre qui était crucifié avec lui.
So, [after Pilate agreed], the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man whom they had nailed on a cross near Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the second man.
33 Puis étant venus à Jésus, et voyant qu'il était déjà mort, ils ne lui rompirent point les jambes;
But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
34 Mais un des soldats lui perça le côté avec une lance, et d'abord il en sortit du sang et de l'eau.
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear [to make sure that Jesus was dead]. Immediately blood [clots] and [other] liquid flowed out, [which showed that Jesus was really dead].
35 Et celui qui l'a vu, l'a témoigné, et son témoignage est digne de foi; et celui-là sait qu'il dit vrai, afin que vous le croyiez.
I, [John], saw this myself, and what I am writing is true. I [know that] I am telling the truth, and I am saying this in order that you may believe [in] (OR, [my testimony about]) [Jesus].
36 Car ces choses-là sont arrivées afin que cette Ecriture fût accomplie: pas un de ses os ne sera cassé.
These things happened in order that these words would be fulfilled {to fulfill these words} [that are written in] Scripture: “Not one of his bones will be broken {No one will break any of his bones}.”
37 Et encore une autre Ecriture, qui dit: ils verront celui qu'ils ont percé.
And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
38 Or après ces choses, Joseph d'Arimathée, qui était Disciple de Jésus, secret toutefois parce qu'il craignait les Juifs, pria Pilate qu'il lui permît d'ôter le corps de Jésus; et Pilate le lui ayant permis, il vint, et prit le corps de Jésus.
Later, Joseph, from Arimathea [town, went to Pilate and] asked Pilate [to allow him] to take Jesus’ body [down from the cross]. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but he did not tell anyone that, because he was afraid of the [other] Jewish [leaders] [SYN]. Pilate permitted him to take Jesus’ body, so he went, along [with others], and they took Jesus’ body [down from the cross].
39 Nicodème aussi, celui qui auparavant était allé de nuit à Jésus, y vint apportant une mixtion de myrrhe et d'aloès d'environ cent livres.
Nicodemus was one of them. He was the man who previously went to visit Jesus at night. Nicodemus bought an [expensive] mixture of myrrh and aloe [spices to put on the body]. It weighed about (75 pounds/35 kilograms).
40 Et ils prirent le corps de Jésus, et l'enveloppèrent de linges avec des Aromates, comme les Juifs ont coutume d'ensevelir.
They took the body of Jesus and wrapped strips of linen cloth around it, putting the spices in with the strips of cloth. They did this according to the Jewish customs [about burying bodies in tombs].
41 Or il y avait au lieu où il fut crucifié un jardin, et dans le jardin un sépulcre neuf, où personne n'avait encore été mis.
Close to the place where Jesus was crucified {where they nailed Jesus to the cross} there was a grove [of trees], and [at the edge of] that grove was a new burial cave. Nobody had ever been put in that cave [previously].
42 Et ils mirent là Jésus, à cause de la préparation des Juifs, parce que le sépulcre était près.
The Jewish day of rest would start [at sunset, and they had to finish burying his body before then]. So, since that cave was nearby, they laid Jesus’ body there [and rolled a huge stone in front of the entrance].
