Jean 9
1 Et comme il passait, Jésus vit un homme aveugle de naissance;
And as he passed by, he saw a man that had been blind from his birth.
2 Et ses disciples l’interrogèrent: Maître, qui a péché, celui-ci ou ses parents, pour qu’il soit né aveugle?
And his disciples asked him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jésus répondit: Ni celui-ci n’a péché, ni ses parents, mais c’est pour que les œuvres de Dieu soient manifestées en lui.
Jesus answered: Neither this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
4 Il faut que j’opère les œuvres de celui qui m’a envoyé, tandis qu’il est jour; la nuit vient, pendant laquelle personne ne peut agir;
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man can work.
5 Tant que je suis dans le monde, je suis la lumière du monde.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Lorsqu’il eut dit cela, il cracha à terre, fit de la boue avec sa salive, et frotta de cette boue les yeux de l’aveugle,
Having said this, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on the eyes of the blind man,
7 Et il lui dit: Va, lave-toi dans la piscine de Siloé (ce qu’on interprète par Envoyé). Il s’en alla donc, se lava, et revint voyant clair.
and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam; which, translated, means Sent. He went, therefore, and washed and came seeing.
8 De sorte que ses voisins et ceux qui l’avaient vu auparavant mendier, disaient: N’est-ce pas celui-là qui était assis et mendiait? D’autres disaient: c’est lui.
Then his neighbors, and those who had before seen him, that he was blind, said: Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Et d’autres: Point du tout, seulement il lui ressemble. Mais lui disait: C’est moi.
Some said: It is he. Others: He is like him. But he said: I am he.
10 Ils lui demandaient donc: Comment tes yeux ont-ils été ouverts?
Then they said to him: How were your eyes opened?
11 Il répondit: Cet homme qu’on appelle Jésus a fait de la boue, il a frotté mes yeux, et m’a dit: Va à la piscine de Siloé, et lave-toi. J’y suis allé, je me suis lavé, et je vois.
He answered and said: A man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. After I had gone and washed, I received my sight.
12 Ils lui demandèrent: Où est-il? Il répondit: Je ne sais.
Then they said to him: Where is he? He said: I know not.
13 Alors ils amenèrent aux pharisiens celui qui avait été aveugle.
They brought to the Pharisees him that had formerly been blind.
14 Or c’était un jour de sabbat que Jésus fit de la boue et ouvrit ses yeux.
And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 Les pharisiens lui demandèrent donc aussi comment il avait vu. Et il leur dit: Il m’a mis de la boue sur les yeux, je me suis lavé, et je vois.
Then again the Pharisees also inquired of him how he had received his sight. He said to them: He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
16 Alors quelques-uns d’entre les pharisiens disaient: Cet homme n’est point de Dieu, puisqu’il ne garde point le sabbat. Mais d’autres disaient: Comment un pécheur peut-il faire de tels miracles? Et il y avait division entre eux.
Then some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them?
17 Ils dirent donc encore à l’aveugle: Et toi, que dis-tu de celui qui t’a ouvert les yeux? Il répondit: C’est un prophète.
Again they said to the blind man: What say you of him, seeing that he opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet.
18 Mais les Juifs ne crurent point de lui qu’il eût été aveugle et qu’il eût recouvré la vue, jusqu’à ce qu’ils eussent appelé les parents de celui qui avait recouvré la vue;
The Jews did not, therefore, believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, till they called the parents of him that 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, saying: Is this your son, who, you say, was born blind? How, then, does he now see?
20 Ses parents leur répondirent et dirent: 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, nous ne le savons pas; ou qui lui a ouvert les yeux, nous ne le savons pas; interrogez-le: il a de l’âge, qu’il parle pour lui-même.
but how he now sees we know not; or who opened his eyes we know not. He is of age; ask him; he will speak for himself.
22 Ses parents dirent cela, parce qu’ils craignaient les Juifs; car déjà les Juifs étaient convenus ensemble que si quelqu’un confessait que Jésus était le Christ, il serait chassé de la synagogue.
His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 C’est pourquoi ses parents dirent: Il a de l’âge, interrogez-le lui-même.
For this reason his parents said: He is of age; ask him.
24 Ils appelèrent donc de nouveau l’homme qui avait été aveugle, et lui dirent: Rends gloire à Dieu; pour nous, nous savons que cet homme est un pécheur.
Then, the second time, they called the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Mais il leur dit: S’il est pécheur, je ne sais; je sais une seule chose, c’est que j’étais aveugle, et qu’à présent je vois.
He answered and said: If he is a sinner, I know it not. One thing I do know, that having been blind, I now see.
26 Ils lui répliquèrent donc: Que t’a-t-il fait? Comment t’a-t-il ouvert les yeux?
They said to him again: What did he for you? How did he open your eyes?
27 Il leur répondit: Je vous l’ai déjà dit, et vous l’avez entendu, pourquoi voulez-vous l’entendre encore? Est-ce que, vous aussi, vous voulez devenir ses disciples?
He answered them: I have already told you, and you did not understand; why would you hear it again? Do you also wish to become his disciples?
28 Ils le maudirent donc, et dirent: Sois son disciple, toi; mais nous, nous sommes disciples de Moïse.
They reviled him, and said: You are the disciple of that man; 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 spoke to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
30 Cet homme reprit et leur dit: Mais il y a en cela une chose étonnante, c’est que vous ne sachiez d’où il est, et il a ouvert mes yeux;
The man answered and said to them: Why, there is something wonderful in this, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 Cependant nous savons que Dieu n’écoute point les pécheurs; mais si quelqu’un honore Dieu et fait sa volonté, c’est celui-là qu’il exauce.
We know that God hears not sinners; but if any one be a worshiper of God, and do his will, him he hears.
Since the beginning it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one who had been born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Si celui-ci n’était pas de Dieu, il ne pourrait rien faire.
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 Ils répliquèrent et lui dirent: Tu es né tout entier dans le péché, et tu nous enseignes! Et ils le jetèrent dehors.
They answered and said to him: You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jésus apprit qu’ils l’avaient jeté dehors; et, l’ayant rencontré, il lui demanda: Crois-tu au Fils de Dieu?
Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And having found him, he said to him: Do you believe on the Son of God?
36 Celui-ci répondit et dit: Qui est-il, Seigneur, afin que je croie en lui?
He answered and said: Who is he, sir, that I may believe on him?
37 Et Jésus lui dit: Mais tu l’as vu, et c’est lui-même qui te parle.
Jesus said to him: You have seen him; and it is he that talks with you.
38 Et celui-ci reprit: Je crois. Seigneur; et se prosternant, il l’adora.
He said: Lord, I believe; and he worshiped him.
39 Alors Jésus dit: C’est en jugement que je suis venu dans ce monde, afin que ceux qui ne voient pas, voient, et que ceux qui voient, deviennent aveugles.
And Jesus said: For judgment have I come into this world, that those who see not, may see; and that those who see, may become blind.
40 Or quelques-uns d’entre les pharisiens, qui étaient avec lui, l’entendirent et lui demandèrent: Est-ce que nous sommes aveugles, nous aussi?
And some 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 point de péché. Mais vous dites au contraire: Nous voyons. Ainsi votre péché subsiste.
Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
