Jean 9
1 Et comme il passait, Jésus vit un homme aveugle de naissance;
AND as he passed along, he saw a man 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 inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, 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 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 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 is coming, when no man can work.
5 Tant que je suis dans le monde, je suis la lumière du monde.
As long as 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,
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 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 signifies, Sent.) Then he went 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.
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 Et d’autres: Point du tout, seulement il lui ressemble. Mais lui 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 demandaient donc: Comment tes yeux ont-ils été ouverts?
When said they to him, How were thine 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 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 demandèrent: Où est-il? Il répondit: Je ne sais.
They said to him, Where is he? He replied, I know not.
13 Alors ils amenèrent aux 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 fit de la boue et ouvrit ses yeux.
(Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, 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.
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 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 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 donc encore à l’aveugle: Et toi, que dis-tu de celui qui 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 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;
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 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 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 déjà les Juifs étaient convenus ensemble que si quelqu’un confessait que Jésus était le Christ, il serait chassé 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 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.
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 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.
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 répliquèrent donc: 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 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 ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples?
28 Ils le maudirent donc, et dirent: Sois son disciple, toi; mais 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 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 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 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.
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 celui-ci n’était pas de Dieu, il ne pourrait rien faire.
If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing.
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 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 jeté dehors; et, l’ayant rencontré, il lui demanda: 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 Celui-ci répondit et dit: 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 Et Jésus lui dit: Mais tu l’as vu, et c’est lui-même qui te parle.
Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person.
38 Et celui-ci reprit: Je crois. Seigneur; et se prosternant, il l’adora.
Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped 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 I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see 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 blind also?
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 ye were blind, ye should not have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent.
