Jean 21
1 Après cela, Jésus se manifesta de nouveau à ses disciples près de la mer de Tibériade. Or il se manifesta ainsi.
After that, Jesus showed himself to [us] disciples when we were at Tiberias Lake, [which is another name for Galilee Lake]. This is what happened:
2 Simon Pierre et Thomas, appelé Didyme, Nathanaël, qui était de Cana en Galilée, les fils de Zébédée, et deux autres de ses disciples, se trouvaient ensemble.
Simon Peter, Thomas who was called {whom [we] called} The Twin, Nathaniel from Cana [town] in Galilee, my older brother and I, and two other disciples were together.
3 Simon Pierre leur dit: Je vais pêcher. Ils lui dirent: Nous y allons aussi avec vous. Ils s’en allèrent donc et montèrent dans la barque, et cette nuit-là ils ne prirent rien.
Simon Peter said to us, “[I] am going to [try to] catch some fish.” We said, “We will go with you.” So we went down [to the lake] and got into the boat. But that night we caught nothing.
4 Mais le matin venu, Jésus parut sur le rivage; les disciples néanmoins ne connurent point que c’était Jésus.
Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Jésus leur dit donc: Enfants, n’avez-vous rien à manger? Ils répondirent: Non.
He called out to us, “My friends, you have not [caught] any fish, have you?” We answered, “You are correct, [we have not caught any].”
6 Il leur dit: Jetez le filet à droite de la barque, et vous en trouverez. Ils le jetèrent donc, et ils ne pouvaient le tirer, à cause de la multitude des poissons.
He said to us, “Throw your net out from the right-hand side of the boat! Then you will find some!” We did that, and we caught so many fish [in the net] that we were unable to pull the net into [the boat]!
7 Alors le disciple que Jésus aimait dit à Pierre: C’est le Seigneur. Lorsque Simon Pierre eut entendu que c’était le Seigneur, il se ceignit de sa tunique (car il était nu), et se jeta dans la mer.
[But I knew that it was Jesus], [so] I said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Peter had taken off his cloak [while he was working], but as soon as he heard [me say] “It is the Lord!” he wrapped his cloak around himself and jumped into the water [and swam to shore].
8 Les autres disciples vinrent avec la barque (car ils n’étaient éloignés de la terre que d’environ deux cents coudées), tirant le filet plein de poissons.
The rest of us came [to the shore] in the boat, pulling the net full of fish. We were not far from shore, only about 100 yards/meters.
9 Or dès qu’ils furent descendus à terre, ils virent des charbons préparés et du poisson placé dessus, et du pain.
When [we] got to the shore, we saw that there was a fire of burning coals there, with a [large] fish on the fire, and [some] buns.
10 Jésus leur dit: Apportez quelques-uns des poissons que vous avez pris à l’instant.
Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
11 Simon Pierre monta dans la barque, et tira à terre le filet plein de cent cinquante-trois gros poissons. Et quoiqu’il y en eût tant, le filet ne fut pas rompu.
Simon Peter got in [the boat] and dragged the net to the shore. It was full of large fish. There were 153 of them! But in spite of there being so many fish, the net was not torn.
12 Jésus leur dit: Venez, mangez. Et chacun de ceux qui prenaient part au repas n’osait lui demander: Qui êtes-vous? sachant que c’était le Seigneur.
Jesus said to us, “Come and eat some breakfast!” None of us dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because we knew that it was the Lord.
13 Et Jésus vint, prit le pain, et le leur donna, et le poisson pareillement.
Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
14 Ce fut la troisième fois que Jésus se manifesta à ses disciples, après qu’il fut ressuscité d’entre les morts.
That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
15 Lors donc qu’ils eurent mangé, Jésus dit à Simon Pierre: Simon, fils de Jean, m’aimes-tu plus que ceux-ci? Il lui répondit: Oui, Seigneur, vous savez que je vous aime. Jésus lui dit: Pais mes agneaux.
When we had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me more than these [other disciples do]?” Peter said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, like] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for his lambs.”
16 Il lui dit de nouveau: Simon, fils de Jean, m’aimes-tu? Il lui répondit: Oui, Seigneur, vous savez que je vous aime. Jésus lui dit: Pais mes agneaux.
Jesus said to him again, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said to him, “Take care of [those who belong to] me, [like] [MET] a [shepherd takes care of his] sheep.”
17 Il lui dit une troisième fois: Simon, fils de Jean, m’aimes-tu? Pierre fut contristé qu’il lui eût dit une troisième fois: M’aimes-tu? Et il lui répondit: Seigneur, vous connaissez toutes choses, vous savez que je vous aime. Jésus lui dit: Pais mes brebis.
Jesus said to him a third time, “John’s son Simon, am I really dear to you (OR, do you really love me)?” Peter was grieved because Jesus asked him this three times, [and because the third time he changed the question]. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, as] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for [his] sheep.
18 En vérité, en vérité, je te le dis: Quand tu étais jeune, tu te ceignais toi-même, et tu allais où tu voulais. Mais quand tu seras vieux, tu étendras les mains, et un autre te ceindra et te conduira où tu ne voudras pas.
Now listen to this carefully: When you were young, you put your clothes on by yourself, and you went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your arms, and someone will fasten them [with a rope] and will lead you to a place where you do not want to [go].”
19 Or il dit cela, indiquant par quelle mort il devait glorifier Dieu. Et lorsqu’il eut ainsi parlé, il lui dit: Suis-moi.
Jesus said this to indicate how Peter would die ([violently/on a cross]) in order to honor God. Then Jesus said to him, “Keep being my faithful disciple [until you die].”
20 Pierre s’étant retourné, vit venir après lui le disciple que Jésus aimait, qui s’était aussi reposé pendant la cène sur son sein, et dit: Seigneur, qui est celui qui vous trahira?
Peter turned around and saw that I was following them. I was the one who leaned close to Jesus during the [Passover] meal and said, “Lord, who is going to enable your enemies to seize you?”
21 Pierre donc l’ayant vu, demanda à Jésus: Seigneur, mais celui-ci, que deviendra-t-il?
When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
22 Jésus lui répondit: Je veux qu’il demeure ainsi jusqu’à ce que je vienne, que l’importe? Toi, suis-moi.
Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ] You be my [faithful] disciple!”
23 Le bruit courut donc parmi les frères que ce disciple ne mourrait point. Cependant Jésus ne lui dit pas: Il ne mourra point; mais: Je veux qu’il demeure ainsi jusqu’à ce que je vienne, que t’importe?
Some of the other believers heard [a report of] what Jesus had said about me, and [they thought that Jesus meant] that I would not die. But Jesus did not say that I would not die. He said only, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ]”
24 C’est ce même disciple qui rend témoignage de ces choses, et qui les a écrites; et nous savons que son témoignage est vrai.
[I, John], am the disciple who has seen all these things and I have written them down. My [fellow apostles] and I know that what [I have written] is true.
25 Il y a encore beaucoup d’autres choses que Jésus a faites; si elles étaient écrites en détail, je ne pense pas que le monde lui-même pût contenir les livres qu’il faudrait écrire.
Jesus did many other things. If they would [all] be written {If people would write them [all]} down [in detail], I suppose that the whole world would not have enough space [HYP] to contain the books that would be written {that they would write} [about what he did].
