< John 21 >

1 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:
Après ces choses, Jésus se manifesta encore aux disciples près de la mer de Tibérias; et il se manifesta ainsi:
2 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.
Simon Pierre, et Thomas, appelé Didyme, et Nathanaël de Cana de Galilée, et les [fils] de Zébédée, et deux autres de ses disciples étaient ensemble.
3 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.
Simon Pierre leur dit: Je m’en vais pêcher. Ils lui disent: Nous allons aussi avec toi. Ils sortirent, et montèrent dans le bateau: et cette nuit-là ils ne prirent rien.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Et le matin venant déjà, Jésus se tint sur le rivage; les disciples toutefois ne savaient pas que c’était Jésus.
5 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].”
Jésus donc leur dit: Enfants, avez-vous quelque chose à manger? Ils lui répondirent: Non.
6 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]!
Et il leur dit: Jetez le filet au côté droit du bateau, et vous trouverez. Ils le jetèrent donc, et ils ne pouvaient plus le tirer, à cause de la multitude des poissons.
7 [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].
Ce disciple donc que Jésus aimait, dit à Pierre: C’est le Seigneur. Simon Pierre donc, ayant entendu que c’était le Seigneur, ceignit sa robe de dessus, car il était nu, et se jeta dans la mer.
8 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.
Et les autres disciples vinrent dans le petit bateau (car ils n’étaient pas loin de terre, mais à environ 200 coudées), traînant le filet de poissons.
9 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.
Quand ils furent donc descendus à terre, ils voient là de la braise, et du poisson mis dessus, et du pain.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Jésus leur dit: Apportez quelques-uns des poissons que vous venez de prendre.
11 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.
Simon Pierre monta, et tira le filet à terre, plein de 153 gros poissons; et quoiqu’il y en eût tant, le filet n’avait pas été déchiré.
12 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.
Jésus leur dit: Venez, dînez. Et aucun des disciples n’osait lui demander: Qui es-tu? sachant que c’était le Seigneur.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Jésus vient et prend le pain, et le leur donne, et de même le poisson.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Ce fut là la troisième fois déjà que Jésus fut manifesté aux disciples, après qu’il fut ressuscité d’entre les morts.
15 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.”
Lors donc qu’ils eurent dîné, Jésus dit à Simon Pierre: Simon, [fils] de Jonas, m’aimes-tu plus que [ne font] ceux-ci? Il lui dit: Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t’aime. Il lui dit: Pais mes agneaux.
16 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.”
Il lui dit encore une seconde fois: Simon, [fils] de Jonas, m’aimes-tu? Il lui dit: Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t’aime. Il lui dit: Sois berger de mes brebis.
17 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.
Il lui dit pour la troisième fois: Simon, [fils] de Jonas, m’aimes-tu? Pierre fut attristé de ce qu’il lui disait pour la troisième fois: M’aimes-tu? Et il lui dit: Seigneur, tu connais toutes choses, tu sais que je t’aime. Jésus lui dit: Pais mes brebis.
18 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].”
En vérité, en vérité, je te dis: Quand tu étais jeune, tu te ceignais, et tu allais où tu voulais; mais quand tu seras devenu vieux, tu étendras les mains, et un autre te ceindra, et te conduira où tu ne veux pas.
19 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].”
Or il dit cela pour indiquer de quelle mort il glorifierait Dieu. Et quand il eut dit cela, il lui dit: Suis-moi.
20 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?”
Pierre, se retournant, voit suivre le disciple que Jésus aimait, qui aussi, durant le souper, s’était penché sur sa poitrine, et avait dit: Seigneur, lequel est celui qui te livrera?
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Pierre, le voyant, dit à Jésus: Seigneur, et celui-ci, – que [lui arrivera-t-il]?
22 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!”
Jésus lui dit: Si je veux qu’il demeure jusqu’à ce que je vienne, que t’importe? Toi, suis-moi.
23 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]”
Cette parole donc se répandit parmi les frères, que ce disciple-là ne mourrait pas. Et Jésus ne lui avait pas dit qu’il ne mourrait pas, mais: Si je veux qu’il demeure jusqu’à ce que je vienne, que t’importe?
24 [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.
C’est ce disciple-là qui rend témoignage de ces choses, et qui a écrit ces choses, et nous savons que son témoignage est vrai.
25 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].
Et il y a aussi plusieurs autres choses que Jésus a faites, lesquelles, si elles étaient écrites une à une, je ne pense pas que le monde même puisse contenir les livres qui seraient écrits.
