John 21
1 After this, Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples. It was at the Lake of Tiberias. The circumstances were as follows.
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 was with Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zabdi, and two others of the Master's disciples.
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 them, "I am going fishing." "We will go too," said they. So they set out and went on board their boat; but they caught nothing that night.
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 When, however, day was now dawning, Jesus stood on the beach, though the disciples 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 to them. "Children," He said, "have you any food there?" "No," they answered.
Jésus leur dit: Enfants, n'avez-vous rien à manger? Ils lui répondirent: Non.
6 "Throw the net in on the right hand side," He said, "and you will find fish." So they threw the net in, and now they could scarcely drag it along for the quantity of fish.
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 This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, "It is the Master." Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, "It is the Master," drew on his fisherman's shirt--for he had not been wearing it--put on his girdle, and sprang into the water.
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 But the rest of the disciples came in the small boat (for they were not far from land--only about a hundred yards off), dragging the net full of fish.
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 As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, with fish broiling on it, and bread close by.
Quand ils furent descendus à terre, ils virent de la braise qui était là, et du poisson dessus, et du pain.
10 Jesus told them to fetch some of the fish which they had just caught.
Jésus leur dit: Apportez de ces poissons que vous avez pris maintenant.
11 So Simon Peter went on board the boat and drew the net ashore full of large fish, 153 in number; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not broken.
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 "Come this way and have breakfast," said Jesus. But not one of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, for they felt sure that it was the Master.
Jésus leur dit: Venez dîner. Et aucun des disciples n'osait lui demander: Qui es-tu? sachant que c'était le Seigneur.
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave them some, and the fish in the same way.
Jésus donc s'approcha, et prit du pain, et leur en donna, ainsi que du poisson.
14 This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed Himself to the disciples after He had risen from among the dead.
C'était déjà la troisième fois que Jésus se faisait voir à ses disciples, après être ressuscité des morts.
15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Master," was his answer; "you know that you are dear to me." "Then feed my lambs," replied Jesus.
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 Again a second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" "Yes, Master," he said, "you know that you are dear to me." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," He said.
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 A third time Jesus put the question: "Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?" It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, "Am I dear to you?" "Master," he replied, "you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me." "Then feed my much-loved sheep," said Jesus.
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 "In most solemn truth I tell you that whereas, when you were young, you used to put on your girdle and walk whichever way you chose, when you have grown old you will stretch out your arms and some one else will put a girdle round you and carry you where you have no wish 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 This He said to indicate the kind of death by which that disciple would bring glory to God; and after speaking thus He said to him, "Follow me."
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 round and noticed the disciple whom Jesus loved following--the one who at the supper had leaned back on His breast and had asked, "Master, who is it that is betraying 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 On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?"
Pierre donc l'ayant vu, dit à Jésus: Seigneur, et celui-ci, que lui arrivera-t-il?
22 "If I desire him to remain till I come," replied Jesus, "what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me."
Jésus lui dit: Si je veux qu'il demeure jusqu'à ce que je vienne, que t'importe? Toi, suis-moi.
23 Hence the report spread among the brethren that that disciple would never die. Yet Jesus did not say, "He is not to die," but, "If I desire him to remain till I come, what concern is that of yours?"
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 That is the disciple who gives his testimony as to these matters, and has written this history; and we know that his testimony 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 But there are also many other things which Jesus did--so vast a number indeed that if they were all described in detail, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.
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.
