Évangile selon Jean 9

BIBLES DES PEUPLES	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Comme Jésus passait, il vit un homme qui était aveugle de naissance.	1 And Jesus, while passing by, saw a man blind from birth.
2 Ses disciples lui demandèrent: "Rabbi, qui a péché pour qu’il soit ainsi aveugle? Est-ce lui ou ses parents?”	2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”
3 Jésus leur dit: "S’il est ainsi, ce n’est pas à cause d’un péché, de lui ou de ses parents, mais pour qu’une œuvre de Dieu, et très évidente, se fasse en lui.	3 Jesus responded: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God would be made manifest in him.
4 Aussi longtemps qu’il fait jour, nous devons faire les œuvres de celui qui m’a envoyé. Ensuite vient la nuit et l’on ne peut plus rien faire.	4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no one is able to work.
5 Tant que je suis dans le monde, je suis la lumière du monde.”	5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Après avoir ainsi parlé, Jésus crache à terre et avec sa salive fait un peu de boue dont il enduit les yeux de l’aveugle.	6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and he made clay from the spittle, and he smeared the clay over his eyes.
7 Puis il lui dit: "Va te laver à la piscine de Siloé (ce nom veut dire: l’Envoyé).” L’homme y va, se lave et repart: il voyait clair.	7 And he said to him: “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated as: one who has been sent). Therefore, he went away and washed, and he returned, seeing.
8 Les voisins et ceux qui auparavant l’ont vu mendier s’étonnent: "Mais c’est bien celui qui s’installait ici pour mendier!”	8 And so the bystanders and those who had seen him before, when he was a beggar, said, “Is this not the one who was sitting and begging?” Some said, “This is he.”
9 Les uns disent: "C’est lui”, et d’autres: "Non, c’est un autre qui lui ressemble.” Et lui leur dit: "C’est bien moi.”	9 But others said, “Certainly not, but he is similar to him.” Yet truly, he himself said, “I am he.”
10 On lui demande: "Mais comment tes yeux se sont-ils ouverts?”	10 Therefore, they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 Il répond: "Celui qu’on appelle Jésus a fait de la boue et m’en a enduit les yeux, puis il m’a dit: Va te laver à Siloé. J’y suis allé et, aussitôt lavé, j’ai vu.”	11 He responded: “That man who is called Jesus made clay, and he anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ And I went, and I washed, and I see.”
12 Ils lui disent: "Où est cet homme?” Il répond: "Je ne sais pas.”	12 And they said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 On amène donc aux Pharisiens l’aveugle guéri.	13 They brought the one who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Mais voilà que c’était un sabbat, et Jésus avait fait de la boue et il lui avait enduit les yeux!	14 Now it was the Sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 À leur tour les Pharisiens l’interrogent: "Comment as-tu retrouvé la vue?” Il leur répond: "Il a mis de la boue sur mes yeux, je me suis lavé et je vois.”	15 Therefore, again the Pharisees questioned him as to how he had seen. And he said to them, “He placed clay over my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
16 Quelques-uns des Pharisiens disent alors: "Cet homme-là n’est pas avec Dieu puisqu’il ne respecte pas le Sabbat.” Mais d’autres répondent: "Un homme pécheur peut-il faire de tels signes?” Et ils sont divisés.	16 And so certain Pharisees said: “This man, who does not keep the Sabbath, is not from God.” But others said, “How could a sinful man accomplish these signs?” And there was a schism among them.
17 Alors de nouveau on demande à l’aveugle: "Puisqu’il t’a ouvert les yeux, que penses-tu de lui?” Et il répond: "C’est un prophète.”	17 Therefore, they spoke again to the blind man, “What do you say about him who opened your eyes?” Then he said, “He is a Prophet.”
18 Les Juifs ne veulent pas croire qu’il voie après avoir été aveugle, tant qu’ils n’auront pas convoqué les parents du miraculé.	18 Therefore, the Jews did not believe, about him, that he had been blind and had seen, until they called the parents of him who had seen.
19 Ils leur demandèrent: "C’est bien votre fils? Et vous dites qu’il est né aveugle? Et alors, pourquoi voit-il maintenant?”	19 And they questioned them, saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how is it that he now sees?”
20 Les parents répondirent: "Oui, c’est notre fils, et il est né aveugle.	20 His parents responded to them and said: “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21 Mais comment voit-il maintenant, nous n’en savons rien; et qui lui a ouvert les yeux, nous n’en savons rien. Interrogez-le, c’est un adulte, il expliquera lui-même son cas.”	21 But how it is that he now sees, we do not know. And who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough. Let him speak for himself.”
22 Ses parents firent cette réponse parce qu’ils avaient peur des Juifs. En effet les Juifs avaient déjà décidé d’exclure de la communauté tous ceux qui reconnaîtraient Jésus comme le Messie.	22 His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already conspired, so that if anyone were to confess him to be the Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
23 Pour cette raison les parents dirent: "Demandez-lui, c’est un adulte.”	23 It was for this reason that his parents said: “He is old enough. Ask him.”
24 On convoque donc une deuxième fois cet aveugle et on lui dit: "Dis toute la vérité. Nous savons que cet homme est un pécheur.”	24 Therefore, they again called the man who had been blind, and they said to him: “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 Il répond: "S’il est un pécheur, je n’en sais rien. Je ne sais qu’une chose: j’étais aveugle et maintenant je vois.”	25 And so he said to them: “If he is a sinner, I do not know it. One thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I see.”
26 Ils lui disent: "Qu’est-ce qu’il t’a fait? Comment t’a-t-il ouvert les yeux?”	26 Then they said to him: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 Et lui répond: "Je vous l’ai déjà dit et vous ne voulez pas m’écouter. Qu’est-ce que vous voulez savoir de plus? Peut-être voulez-vous devenir ses disciples?”	27 He answered them: “I have already told you, and you heard it. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”
28 Aussitôt ils commencent à l’insulter: "Toi, tu es son disciple, mais nous, nous sommes les disciples de Moïse.	28 Therefore, they cursed him and said: “You be his disciple. But we are disciples of Moses.
29 Nous savons que Dieu a parlé à Moïse, mais celui-là, nous ne savons pas d’où il sort.”	29 We know that God spoke to Moses. But this man, we do not know where he is from.”
30 Alors l’homme leur répond: "C’est vraiment étonnant! Il m’a ouvert les yeux et vous ne savez pas d’où il vient?	30 The man responded and said to them: “Now in this is a wonder: that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 Nous savons bien que Dieu n’écoute pas les pécheurs; il écoute ceux qui respectent Dieu et qui font sa volonté.	31 And we know that God does not hear sinners. But if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, then he heeds him.
32 On n’a jamais entendu dire que quelqu’un ait ouvert les yeux d’un aveugle de naissance.	32 From ancient times, it has not been heard that anyone has opened the eyes of someone born blind.
33 Cet homme ne pourrait rien faire s’il ne venait pas de Dieu.”	33 Unless this man were of God, he would not be able to do any such thing.”
34 Les autres ripostèrent: "Tu n’es que péché depuis ta naissance, et tu veux nous faire la leçon?” Et ils l’expulsèrent.	34 They responded and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you would teach us?” And they cast him out.
35 Jésus apprit qu’on l’avait expulsé. Quand il le rencontra, il lui dit: "As-tu foi dans le Fils de l’Homme?”	35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 Il répondit: "Qui est-il, Seigneur, que je croie en lui?”	36 He responded and said, “Who is he, Lord, so that I may believe in him?”
37 Jésus lui dit: "Tu le vois, c’est lui qui te parle.”	37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.”
38 L’homme déclara: "Je crois, Seigneur.” Et il se prosterna devant lui.	38 And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And falling prostrate, he worshipped him.
39 Jésus dit alors: "Je suis venu dans le monde pour une remise en cause: ceux qui ne voient pas verront, et ceux qui voient seront aveugles.”	39 And Jesus said, “I came into this world in judgment, so that those who do not see, may see; and so that those who see, may become blind.”
40 Quelques Pharisiens étaient là, et ils l’entendirent. Ils lui demandèrent: "Nous serions donc aveugles, nous aussi?”	40 And certain Pharisees, who were with him, heard this, and they said to him, “Are we also blind?”
41 Jésus leur répondit: "Si vous étiez aveugles, vous n’auriez pas de péché. Mais vous dites que vous voyez, c’est la preuve de votre péché”.	41 Jesus said to them: “If you were blind, you would not have sin. Yet now you say, ‘We see.’ So your sin persists.”
