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, sur le bord de la mer de Tibériade, Jésus se manifesta encore aux disciples. Voici comment:
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 Didyme, Nathanaël de Cana en Galilée, les fils de Zébédée et deux autres 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.
«Je vais pêcher», leur dit Simon Pierre. «Nous y allons avec toi» répondirent les autres. Ils partirent et montèrent dans la barque. 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.
Le matin venu, Jésus était là debout sur le rivage. Les disciples cependant 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].”
«Enfants, leur dit-il, 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]!
«Jetez le filet, dit Jésus, à droite de la barque, vous trouverez.» Ils le jetèrent et ils n'avaient plus la force de le retirer tellement il était plein 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].
Alors le disciple que Jésus aimait dit à Pierre: «C'est le Seigneur!» A cette parole: «C'est le Seigneur», Simon Pierre qui n'était pas vêtu remit sa tunique et se jeta à 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.
Quant aux autres disciples ils vinrent avec la barque, et comme ils étaient peu éloignés de terre, — environ de deux cents coudées, — ils traînaient le filet plein 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.
Une fois descendus à terre, ils voient du charbon préparé, 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 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 alors dans la barque et tira à terre le filet. Il était plein de gros poissons; il y en avait cent cinquante-trois et malgré ce grand nombre le filet ne se déchira pas.
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.
«Venez manger», dit Jésus aux disciples. Aucun d'eux n'osait lui poser cette question: «Qui es-tu?» Ils savaient que c'était le Seigneur.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Jésus s'approche; prend le pain et le leur donne, ainsi que 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.
C'était la troisième fois, depuis sa résurrection d'entre les morts, que Jésus se manifestait à ses disciples.
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.”
Quand ils eurent mangé, Jésus dit à Simon Pierre: «Simon, fils de Jean, m'aimes-tu plus que ceux-ci?» —Il lui répondit: «Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t'aime.» Jésus lui dit: «Fais paître 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 Jean, m'aimes-tu?» Il lui répondit: «Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t'aime.» Jésus lui dit: «Sois le pasteur 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 Jean, M'aimes-tu?» Pierre fut attristé de ce qu'il lui disait pour la troisième fois: «M'aimes-tu?» et lui répondit: «Seigneur, tu sais tout; tu sais que je t'aime. Jésus lui dit: «Fais paître 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 quand tu seras vieux, tu étendras les mains, un autre te ceindra, et te mènera 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].”
(Il dit cela pour indiquer par quel genre de mort Pierre devait glorifier Dieu); et après avoir ainsi parlé, 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, se retournant, voit le suivre le disciple que Jésus aimait, celui qui, pendant le repas, s'était penché sur sa poitrine et lui avait dit: «Seigneur qui est celui qui te livrera?»
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Le voyant, Pierre 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 répond: «Si je veux qu'il attende 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]”
Alors le bruit se répandit parmi les frères que ce disciple-là ne mourrait pas. Cependant Jésus n'a pas dit à Pierre: «Il ne mourra pas; » mais: «Si je veux qu'il attende 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 même qui atteste ces choses et qui les a écrites, et nous savons que son témoignage est véridique.
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. Si on les écrivait l'une après l'autre, je crois que le monde entier ne pourrait contenir les livres qu'on écrirait.
