< 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 cela, Jésus se montra encore à ses disciples, au bord de la mer de Tibériade, et voici comment il se montra:
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, Thomas appelé Didynie, Nathanaël de Cana en Galilée, les fils de Zébédée et deux autres de ses disciples se trouvaient 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 vais pêcher.» Ils lui dirent: «Nous y allons aussi avec toi.» Ils sortirent donc et entrèrent dans une barque; mais ils ne prirent rien cette nuit-là.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Le matin étant venu, Jésus se trouva sur le rivage; cependant les disciples 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 leur dit: «Enfants, n'avez-vous rien 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]!
Il leur dit: «Jetez le filet à droite de la barque, et vous trouverez du poisson.» Ils le jetèrent, et ils ne pouvaient plus le tirer à cause de la grande quantité de poissons qu'il contenait.
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].
Alors le disciple que Jésus aimait dit à Pierre: «C'est le Seigneur.» Dès que Simon Pierre eut entendu que c'était le Seigneur, il mit son sarrau et se ceignit, car il était nu, et il se jeta dans l'eau.
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.
Les autres disciples vinrent avec la barque, tirant le filet plein de poissons, car ils n'étaient éloignés de la terre que d'environ deux cents coudées.
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.
Lorsqu'ils furent descendus à terre, ils virent sur le sol des charbons allumés, du poisson dessus, et du pain.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Jésus leur dit: «Apportez de ces 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 entra dans la barque, et tira sur la grève le filet qui était plein de cent cinquante-trois gros poissons; et, quoiqu'il y en eût tant, le filet ne se rompit point.
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 et déjeunez.» Mais aucun des disciples n'osa lui demander: «Qui es-tu?» parce qu'ils savaient bien que c'était le Seigneur.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Jésus s'approcha, prit du pain, leur en donna, et du poisson également.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
C'était la troisième fois déjà que Jésus se montrait à ses disciples depuis qu'il était ressuscité des 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.”
Après qu'ils eurent déjeuné, Jésus dit à Simon Pierre: «Simon, fils de Jona, m'aimes-tu plus que ne font ceux-ci?» Pierre lui répondit: «Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t'aime.» Jésus 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 demanda pour la seconde fois: «Simon, fils de Jona, m'aimes-tu?» Pierre lui répondit: «Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t'aime.» Jésus lui dit: «Pais 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 demanda pour la troisième fois: «Simon, fils de Jona, m'aimes-tu?» Pierre fut affligé de ce qu'il lui demandait pour la troisième fois, «m'aimes-tu?» et il lui répondit: «Seigneur, tu sais toutes choses, tu sais bien que je t'aime.» Jésus lui dit: «Pais mes chères 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 le dis, quand tu étais jeune, tu te ceignais toi-même, et tu allais où tu voulais; quand tu seras vieux, tu étendras les bras, et un autre te ceindra, et t'entraînera là où tu ne voudras 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 Pierre devait glorifier Dieu. Puis il ajouta: «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 s'étant retourné, vit venir derrière eux le disciple que Jésus aimait, celui qui, pendant le souper, s'était penché sur le sein de Jésus, et lui avait dit: «Seigneur, qui est celui qui te livre?»
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Pierre donc le voyant, dit à Jésus: «Et celui-ci, Seigneur, que deviendra-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? Pour 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]”
Le bruit se répandit donc parmi les frères, que ce disciple ne mourrait pas. Pourtant Jésus ne lui avait pas dit qu'il ne mourrait pas, mais il avait dit: «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 même disciple qui atteste ces faits, et qui les a écrits; et nous savons que son témoignage est véritable.
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].
Jésus a fait encore beaucoup d'autres choses: si on les rapportait en détail, je ne pense pas que le monde même pût contenir les livres qu'on en écrirait.
