John 17
1 After Jesus said those things, he looked [up] toward heaven. Then he prayed, “[My] Father, it is now the time [MTY] [for me to suffer and die]. Honor me [as I do that], in order that I may honor you.
Ainsi parla Jésus. Puis, levant les yeux au ciel, il dit: «Père, l'heure est venue; glorifie ton Fils, afin que le Fils te glorifie en donnant,
2 You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
selon le pouvoir que tu lui as donné sur toute chair, la vie éternelle, à tous ceux que tu lui as donnés. (aiōnios g166)
3 [The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
Or voici l'éternelle vie: Te connaître, toi, le seul vrai Dieu et celui que tu as envoyé, Jésus-Christ.» (aiōnios g166)
4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.
«Moi, je t'ai glorifié sur la terre; j'ai accompli l'oeuvre que tu m'avais donnée à faire.
5 [My] Father, now honor me when I am with you [again], by causing me to have the greatness I had when I was with you before the world began.”
Et maintenant, glorifie-moi, toi, Père, auprès de toi-même, de la gloire que j'avais, avant que le monde fût, auprès de toi.»
6 “I have revealed [what] you [are like] to the people whom you brought to me from among those who do not belong to you [MTY]. Those [who came to me] belonged to you, and you brought them to me. Now they have obeyed your message.
«J'ai révélé ton nom aux hommes que tu m'as donnés du monde. Ils étaient à toi, et tu me les as donnés; et ils ont gardé ta parole.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.
Maintenant ils ont reconnu que tout ce que tu m'as donné vient de toi,
8 I gave them the message that you gave me, and they have accepted it. They now know for certain that I came from you. They now believe that you sent me.
parce que les paroles que tu m'as données, je les leur ai données, et ils les ont reçues, et ils ont reconnu véritablement que je suis issu de toi, et ils ont cru que c'est toi qui m'as envoyé.»
9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for those [who do not belong to you] [MTY]. Instead, [I am praying] for those whom you have brought to me, because they belong to you.
«C'est pour eux que je prie; ce n'est pas pour le monde que je prie, mais pour ceux que tu m'as donnés parce qu'ils sont à toi —
10 All [the disciples] that I have belong to you, and all those who belong to you also belong to me. They have shown how great I am.
(or tout ce qui est à moi est à toi, et tout ce qui est à toi est à moi) — et que j'ai été glorifié en eux.
11 I will not be [staying] in the world any longer. I will be coming back to you. They, however, will be [here] in the world [among those who are opposed to you]. [My] Holy Father, protect them from spiritual harm by your power [MTY], the power that you gave me, in order that they may be united as we are united.
Je ne suis plus dans le monde, mais eux sont dans le monde, et moi je viens à toi. Père saint! garde-les en ton nom, le nom que tu m'as donné, afin qu'ils soient uns comme nous.
12 While I have been with them, I have [completely] protected them by the power [MTY] that you gave me. As a result, only one of them will be eternally separated from you. He is the one who was doomed to be eternally separated from you. [That has happened] to fulfill [what a prophet wrote] in the Scriptures [would happen].
Quand j'étais avec eux, c'est moi qui les gardais en ton nom, le nom que tu m'as donné, et je les ai préservés et aucun d'eux ne s'est perdu, excepté le fils de la perdition, afin que l'Écriture fût accomplie.
13 [Father], now I am about to return to you. I have said these things while I am still [here] in the world in order that my [disciples] may fully experience being joyful, as I have been joyful.
Maintenant je viens à toi, et je parle ainsi, étant encore dans le monde, afin qu'ils aient en eux la plénitude de ma joie.»
14 I have given them your message. As a result, those who are opposed to you [MTY] have hated them, because [my disciples] do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY], just like I do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY].
«Je leur ai donné ta parole, et le monde les a pris en haine, parce qu'ils ne sont pas du monde, comme moi je ne suis pas du monde.
15 I am asking you, not that you take them out of this world, but instead that you protect them from [Satan], the evil one.
Je ne demande pas que tu les retires du monde, mais que tu les préserves du mal.
16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.
Ils ne sont pas du monde, comme moi je ne suis pas du monde.
17 Set [my disciples] apart so that they may (completely belong to/serve) you, by [enabling them to live in accordance with] what is true. Your message is true.
Consacre-les dans la vérité. Ta parole est la vérité.»
18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.
«De même que tu m'as envoyé dans le monde, je les ai, moi aussi, envoyés dans le monde,
19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”
et je me consacre moi-même pour eux afin qu'ils soient, eux aussi, consacrés en vérité.»
20 “I am praying not only for these [eleven disciples]. I am praying also for those who [will] believe in me as a result of [hearing] their message.
«Ce n'est pas seulement pour eux que je prie, mais aussi pour ceux qui croient en moi par leur parole,
21 [My] Father, [I want] all of them to be united, just like I am united with you because of my relationship with you, and as you are united with me because of your relationship with me. I also want them to be united with us. [I want that to happen] so that those who do not know you [MTY] may know that you sent me.
afin que tous ils soient un, comme toi, Père, es en moi, et moi en toi, qu'eux aussi soient en nous, pour que le monde croie que c'est toi qui m'as envoyé.»
22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.
«Et moi, la gloire que tu m'as donnée, je la leur ai donnée, afin qu'ils soient un comme nous sommes un,
23 I want them to be united just like they are united with me and as you are united with me. May they be completely united, in order that those who do not belong to you [MTY] may know that you sent me and that you have loved them just like you have loved me.
moi en eux et toi en moi, que cette unité soit parfaite, et que le monde reconnaisse que c'est toi qui m'as envoyé, et que tu les as aimés comme tu m'as aimé.»
24 [My] Father, I want [the disciples] you have brought to me to [some day] be with me [in heaven], where I will be. I want them to see my greatness. I want them to see the greatness you gave me because you loved me. You gave me that greatness before you created the world.
«Père! ceux que tu m'as donnés, je veux que là où je suis, moi, ils y soient avec moi, afin qu'ils voient la gloire que tu m'as donnée, parce que tu m'as aimé avant la création du monde.»
25 [My] righteous Father, although the people who do not belong to you [MTY] do not know what you [are like], I know what you [are like], and my disciples know that you sent me.
«Père juste! le monde ne t'a pas connu; mais moi je t'ai connu, et ceux-ci ont reconnu que c'est toi qui m'as envoyé.
26 I have revealed to them [what] you [are like], and I will continue to reveal to them [what] you [are like]. I will do that in order that they may love [others] just like you love me, and in order that I may be in them [by my Spirit].”
Et je leur ai fait connaître ton nom; et je le leur ferai connaître, afin que l'amour dont tu m'as aimé soit en eux, et que je sois moi aussi en eux.»
