John 9
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
Et comme il passait, Jésus vit un homme aveugle de naissance;
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Et ses disciples l’interrogèrent: Maître, qui a péché, celui-ci ou ses parents, pour qu’il soit né aveugle?
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Jésus répondit: Ni celui-ci n’a péché, ni ses parents, mais c’est pour que les œuvres de Dieu soient manifestées en lui.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
Il faut que j’opère les œuvres de celui qui m’a envoyé, tandis qu’il est jour; la nuit vient, pendant laquelle personne ne peut agir;
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Tant que je suis dans le monde, je suis la lumière du monde.
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
Lorsqu’il eut dit cela, il cracha à terre, fit de la boue avec sa salive, et frotta de cette boue les yeux de l’aveugle,
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
Et il lui dit: Va, lave-toi dans la piscine de Siloé (ce qu’on interprète par Envoyé). Il s’en alla donc, se lava, et revint voyant clair.
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
De sorte que ses voisins et ceux qui l’avaient vu auparavant mendier, disaient: N’est-ce pas celui-là qui était assis et mendiait? D’autres disaient: c’est lui.
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
Et d’autres: Point du tout, seulement il lui ressemble. Mais lui disait: C’est moi.
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
Ils lui demandaient donc: Comment tes yeux ont-ils été ouverts?
11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
Il répondit: Cet homme qu’on appelle Jésus a fait de la boue, il a frotté mes yeux, et m’a dit: Va à la piscine de Siloé, et lave-toi. J’y suis allé, je me suis lavé, et je vois.
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
Ils lui demandèrent: Où est-il? Il répondit: Je ne sais.
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Alors ils amenèrent aux pharisiens celui qui avait été aveugle.
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Or c’était un jour de sabbat que Jésus fit de la boue et ouvrit ses yeux.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
Les pharisiens lui demandèrent donc aussi comment il avait vu. Et il leur dit: Il m’a mis de la boue sur les yeux, je me suis lavé, et je vois.
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.
Alors quelques-uns d’entre les pharisiens disaient: Cet homme n’est point de Dieu, puisqu’il ne garde point le sabbat. Mais d’autres disaient: Comment un pécheur peut-il faire de tels miracles? Et il y avait division entre eux.
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
Ils dirent donc encore à l’aveugle: Et toi, que dis-tu de celui qui t’a ouvert les yeux? Il répondit: C’est un prophète.
18 The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
Mais les Juifs ne crurent point de lui qu’il eût été aveugle et qu’il eût recouvré la vue, jusqu’à ce qu’ils eussent appelé les parents de celui qui avait recouvré la vue;
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
Et ils les interrogèrent, disant: Est-ce là votre fils, que vous dites être né aveugle? Comment donc voit-il maintenant?
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Ses parents leur répondirent et dirent: Nous savons que c’est notre fils et qu’il est né aveugle;
21 but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
Mais comment il voit maintenant, nous ne le savons pas; ou qui lui a ouvert les yeux, nous ne le savons pas; interrogez-le: il a de l’âge, qu’il parle pour lui-même.
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
Ses parents dirent cela, parce qu’ils craignaient les Juifs; car déjà les Juifs étaient convenus ensemble que si quelqu’un confessait que Jésus était le Christ, il serait chassé de la synagogue.
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
C’est pourquoi ses parents dirent: Il a de l’âge, interrogez-le lui-même.
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
Ils appelèrent donc de nouveau l’homme qui avait été aveugle, et lui dirent: Rends gloire à Dieu; pour nous, nous savons que cet homme est un pécheur.
25 He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
Mais il leur dit: S’il est pécheur, je ne sais; je sais une seule chose, c’est que j’étais aveugle, et qu’à présent je vois.
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
Ils lui répliquèrent donc: Que t’a-t-il fait? Comment t’a-t-il ouvert les yeux?
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
Il leur répondit: Je vous l’ai déjà dit, et vous l’avez entendu, pourquoi voulez-vous l’entendre encore? Est-ce que, vous aussi, vous voulez devenir ses disciples?
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Ils le maudirent donc, et dirent: Sois son disciple, toi; mais nous, nous sommes disciples de Moïse.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
Nous savons que Dieu a parlé à Moïse; mais celui-ci, nous ne savons d’où il est.
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
Cet homme reprit et leur dit: Mais il y a en cela une chose étonnante, c’est que vous ne sachiez d’où il est, et il a ouvert mes yeux;
31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
Cependant nous savons que Dieu n’écoute point les pécheurs; mais si quelqu’un honore Dieu et fait sa volonté, c’est celui-là qu’il exauce.
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
Jamais on n’a ouï dire que quelqu’un ait ouvert les yeux d’un aveugle-né. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
Si celui-ci n’était pas de Dieu, il ne pourrait rien faire.
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
Ils répliquèrent et lui dirent: Tu es né tout entier dans le péché, et tu nous enseignes! Et ils le jetèrent dehors.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
Jésus apprit qu’ils l’avaient jeté dehors; et, l’ayant rencontré, il lui demanda: Crois-tu au Fils de Dieu?
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
Celui-ci répondit et dit: Qui est-il, Seigneur, afin que je croie en lui?
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
Et Jésus lui dit: Mais tu l’as vu, et c’est lui-même qui te parle.
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
Et celui-ci reprit: Je crois. Seigneur; et se prosternant, il l’adora.
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
Alors Jésus dit: C’est en jugement que je suis venu dans ce monde, afin que ceux qui ne voient pas, voient, et que ceux qui voient, deviennent aveugles.
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
Or quelques-uns d’entre les pharisiens, qui étaient avec lui, l’entendirent et lui demandèrent: Est-ce que nous sommes aveugles, nous aussi?
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
Jésus leur répondit: Si vous étiez aveugles, vous n’auriez point de péché. Mais vous dites au contraire: Nous voyons. Ainsi votre péché subsiste.
