Jean 13
1 Avant la fête de Pâque, Jésus, sachant que son heure était venue de passer de ce monde au Père, et ayant aimé les siens qui étaient dans le monde, mit le comble à son amour pour eux.
When it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and [to return] to [his] Father [in heaven]. He loved us who [were his disciples]. He knew [we would continue to live here] in this world, so now he [showed us] how completely he loved us.
2 Pendant le souper, lorsque le diable avait déjà inspiré au cœur de Judas Iscariot, fils de Simon, le dessein de le livrer,
We were eating [the Passover meal]. (The devil/Satan) had already suggested to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the son of Simon, that he should (betray Jesus/enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
3 Jésus, qui savait que le Père avait remis toutes choses entre ses mains, qu’il était venu de Dieu, et qu’il s’en allait à Dieu,
But Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority [to control the situation]. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.
4 se leva de table, ôta ses vêtements, et prit un linge, dont il se ceignit.
[But before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other]. [So] he got up from where he was eating. He took off his [outer] cloak and wrapped a [long] towel around his waist, [as a slave would do].
5 Ensuite il versa de l’eau dans un bassin, et il se mit à laver les pieds des disciples, et à les essuyer avec le linge dont il était ceint.
Then he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.
6 Il vint donc à Simon Pierre; et Pierre lui dit: Toi, Seigneur, tu me laves les pieds!
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you [RHQ] to [humble yourself by] washing my feet!”
7 Jésus lui répondit: Ce que je fais, tu ne le comprends pas maintenant, mais tu le comprendras bientôt.
Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
8 Pierre lui dit: Non, jamais tu ne me laveras les pieds. Jésus lui répondit: Si je ne te lave, tu n’auras point de part avec moi. (aiōn g165)
Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Pierre lui dit: Seigneur, non seulement les pieds, mais encore les mains et la tête.
So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, [in that case], do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, [too]!”
10 Jésus lui dit: Celui qui est lavé n’a besoin que de se laver les pieds pour être entièrement pur; et vous êtes purs, mais non pas tous.
[Then, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins] [MET], Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, [because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads]. The [rest of their bodies are] clean. Similarly, I have made you [disciples] free/clean [from the guilt of your sins], although not all of you are free from guilt.”
11 Car il connaissait celui qui le livrait; c’est pourquoi il dit: Vous n’êtes pas tous purs.
He knew which one [of us] was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”
12 Après qu’il leur eut lavé les pieds, et qu’il eut pris ses vêtements, il se remit à table, et leur dit: Comprenez-vous ce que je vous ai fait?
After he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
13 Vous m’appelez Maître et Seigneur; et vous dites bien, car je le suis.
You [show that you respect me by] calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.
14 Si donc je vous ai lavé les pieds, moi, le Seigneur et le Maître, vous devez aussi vous laver les pieds les uns aux autres;
But if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to [serve each other by doing things like] washing each other’s feet.
15 car je vous ai donné un exemple, afin que vous fassiez comme je vous ai fait.
I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
16 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, le serviteur n’est pas plus grand que son seigneur, ni l’apôtre plus grand que celui qui l’a envoyé.
Listen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. [So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other].
17 Si vous savez ces choses, vous êtes heureux, pourvu que vous les pratiquiez.
Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
18 Ce n’est pas de vous tous que je parle; je connais ceux que j’ai choisis. Mais il faut que l’Écriture s’accomplisse: Celui qui mange avec moi le pain A levé son talon contre moi.
“I am not saying that [God will bless] all of you. I knew [what all of you were like when] I chose you. But [I also chose the one who will betray me], in order that what is written in Scripture might be fulfilled {to fulfill what someone/the psalmist wrote in Scripture}, ‘The one who is [acting like he is my friend by] eating with me has become my enemy [IDM].’
19 Dès à présent je vous le dis, avant que la chose arrive, afin que, lorsqu’elle arrivera, vous croyiez à ce que je suis.
I am telling you [about someone betraying me] before it happens, in order that when it happens, you may continue to believe that I am ([the Messiah/who I say I am]).
20 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, celui qui reçoit celui que j’aurai envoyé me reçoit, et celui qui me reçoit, reçoit celui qui m’a envoyé.
Listen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, [God will consider that] they are accepting me. And those who accept me, [God will consider that] they are accepting [my Father], who sent me.”
21 Ayant ainsi parlé, Jésus fut troublé en son esprit, et il dit expressément: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, l’un de vous me livrera.
After Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He solemnly declared, “Listen to this carefully: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
22 Les disciples se regardaient les uns les autres, ne sachant de qui il parlait.
We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
23 Un des disciples, celui que Jésus aimait, était couché sur le sein de Jésus.
[I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
24 Simon Pierre lui fit signe de demander qui était celui dont parlait Jésus.
Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
25 Et ce disciple, s’étant penché sur la poitrine de Jésus, lui dit: Seigneur, qui est-ce?
So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jésus répondit: C’est celui à qui je donnerai le morceau trempé. Et, ayant trempé le morceau, il le donna à Judas, fils de Simon, l’Iscariot.
Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I dip it [in the sauce in the dish].” Then, [to show us that he knew who would enable his enemies to seize him], after he dipped the bread [in the sauce], he gave it to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]).
27 Dès que le morceau fut donné, Satan entra dans Judas. Jésus lui dit: Ce que tu fais, fais-le promptement.
As soon as [Judas ate] the bread, Satan took control of him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
28 Mais aucun de ceux qui étaient à table ne comprit pourquoi il lui disait cela;
But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
29 car quelques-uns pensaient que, comme Judas avait la bourse, Jésus voulait lui dire: Achète ce dont nous avons besoin pour la fête, ou qu’il lui commandait de donner quelque chose aux pauvres.
Since Judas took care of the money [people gave us to help us], some thought Jesus was telling him to [go and] buy some things we needed for the [Passover] celebration. [Some thought he was telling him] to give some money to poor people.
30 Judas, ayant pris le morceau, se hâta de sortir. Il était nuit.
As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
31 Lorsque Judas fut sorti, Jésus dit: Maintenant, le Fils de l’homme a été glorifié, et Dieu a été glorifié en lui.
After Judas left, Jesus said, “Now it will be shown {[my Father] will show} how wonderful I, the one who came from heaven, am. And by what I do it will be seen {people will see} how great God is.
32 Si Dieu a été glorifié en lui, Dieu aussi le glorifiera en lui-même, et il le glorifiera bientôt.
Since by what I do people will see how awesome God is, God himself will show people how awesome I am. And he will do that very soon.
33 Mes petits enfants, je suis pour peu de temps encore avec vous. Vous me chercherez; et, comme j’ai dit aux Juifs: Vous ne pouvez venir où je vais, je vous le dis aussi maintenant.
[You whom I love as though you were] my children, I will continue with you only a short time longer. Then you will look for me, but I will not be here. Just like I told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], I am telling you now, that where I am going, you cannot come [yet].
34 Je vous donne un commandement nouveau: Aimez-vous les uns les autres; comme je vous ai aimés, vous aussi, aimez-vous les uns les autres.
Now I am giving you a new commandment: You must love each other. You must love each other in the way that I have loved you.
35 A ceci tous connaîtront que vous êtes mes disciples, si vous avez de l’amour les uns pour les autres.
If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
36 Simon Pierre lui dit: Seigneur, où vas-tu? Jésus répondit: Tu ne peux pas maintenant me suivre où je vais, mais tu me suivras plus tard.
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “The place where I am going, you cannot come with me now, but you will come there later.”
37 Seigneur, lui dit Pierre, pourquoi ne puis-je pas te suivre maintenant? Je donnerai ma vie pour toi.
Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
38 Jésus répondit: Tu donneras ta vie pour moi! En vérité, en vérité, je te le dis, le coq ne chantera pas que tu ne m’aies renié trois fois.
Jesus answered, “[You say] [RHQ] that you [are ready] to die for me. But the truth is that before the rooster crows [early tomorrow morning], you will say three times that you do not [know] me!”
