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 fit encore voir aux disciples près de la mer de Tibériade, et il se fit voir de cette manière:
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, Nathanaël, qui était de Cana en Galilée, 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 vais pêcher. Ils lui dirent: Nous allons aussi avec toi. Ils sortirent, et entrèrent aussitôt dans la 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; mais 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]!
Et il leur dit: Jetez le filet du côté droit de la barque, et vous trouverez. Ils le jetèrent donc, et ils ne pouvaient plus le retirer, à cause de la quantité de 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].
C'est pourquoi le disciple que Jésus aimait, dit à Pierre: C'est le Seigneur! Et Simon Pierre apprenant que c'était le Seigneur, se ceignit de sa robe de dessus (car il était nu), et se jeta à 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.
Mais les autres disciples vinrent avec la barque, traînant le filet plein de poissons, car ils n'étaient éloignés de 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.
Quand ils furent descendus à terre, ils virent de la braise qui était là, et 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 avez pris maintenant.
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 remonta, et tira le filet à terre, plein de cent cinquante-trois grands 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 dîner. 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 donc s'approcha, et prit du pain, et leur en donna, ainsi que du poisson.
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 déjà la troisième fois que Jésus se faisait voir à ses disciples, après être 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 dîné, Jésus dit à Simon Pierre: Simon, fils de Jona, m'aimes-tu plus que ceux-ci? Pierre 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 dit une 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 dit pour la troisième fois: Simon, fils de Jona, m'aimes-tu? Pierre fut attristé de ce qu'il lui avait dit 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 le dis; lorsque tu étais plus jeune, tu te ceignais toi-même, et tu allais où tu voulais; mais lorsque tu seras vieux, tu étendras tes mains, et un autre te ceindra, et te mènera où tu ne voudrais 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 marquer par quelle mort Pierre glorifierait Dieu. Et après avoir ainsi parlé, 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?”
Et Pierre s'étant retourné, vit venir après lui 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 trahit?
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Pierre donc l'ayant vu, 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]”
Le bruit se répandit donc parmi les frères, que ce disciple ne mourrait point. Cependant Jésus ne lui avait pas dit: Il ne mourra point; 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 qui rend témoignage de ces choses, et qui les a écrites; 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].
Il y a encore beaucoup d'autres choses que Jésus a faites, et si elles étaient écrites en détail, je ne pense pas que le monde même pût contenir les livres qu'on en écrirait. Amen.
