John 9

DOUAI-RHEIMS	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
1 And Jesus passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth:	1 Comme Jésus passait, il vit un homme qui était aveugle de naissance.
2 And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?	2 Ses disciples lui demandèrent: "Rabbi, qui a péché pour qu’il soit ainsi aveugle? Est-ce lui ou ses parents?”
3 Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.	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.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, whilst it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.	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.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.	5 Tant que je suis dans le monde, je suis la lumière du monde.”
6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on his eyes,	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.
7 And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore, and washed, and he came seeing.	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.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This is he.	8 Les voisins et ceux qui auparavant l’ont vu mendier s’étonnent: "Mais c’est bien celui qui s’installait ici pour mendier!”
9 But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am 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.”
10 They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened?	10 On lui demande: "Mais comment tes yeux se sont-ils ouverts?”
11 He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe, and wash. And I went, I washed, and I see.	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.”
12 And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not.	12 Ils lui disent: "Où est cet homme?” Il répond: "Je ne sais pas.”
13 They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees.	13 On amène donc aux Pharisiens l’aveugle guéri.
14 Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.	14 Mais voilà que c’était un sabbat, et Jésus avait fait de la boue et il lui avait enduit les yeux!
15 Again therefore the Pharisees asked him, how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.	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.”
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.	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.
17 They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened they eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.	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.”
18 The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,	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.
19 And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see?	19 Ils leur demandèrent: "C’est bien votre fils? Et vous dites qu’il est né aveugle? Et alors, pourquoi voit-il maintenant?”
20 His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:	20 Les parents répondirent: "Oui, c’est notre fils, et il est né aveugle.
21 But how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: ask himself: he is of age, let him speak for himself.	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.”
22 These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.	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.
23 Therefore did his parents say: He is of age, ask himself.	23 Pour cette raison les parents dirent: "Demandez-lui, c’est un adulte.”
24 They therefore called the man again that had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.	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.”
25 He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.	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.”
26 They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?	26 Ils lui disent: "Qu’est-ce qu’il t’a fait? Comment t’a-t-il ouvert les yeux?”
27 He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard: why would you hear it again? will you also become his disciples?	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?”
28 They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.	28 Aussitôt ils commencent à l’insulter: "Toi, tu es son disciple, mais nous, nous sommes les disciples de Moïse.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is.	29 Nous savons que Dieu a parlé à Moïse, mais celui-là, nous ne savons pas d’où il sort.”
30 The man answered, and said to them: Why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.	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?
31 Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.	31 Nous savons bien que Dieu n’écoute pas les pécheurs; il écoute ceux qui respectent Dieu et qui font sa volonté.
32 From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind.	32 On n’a jamais entendu dire que quelqu’un ait ouvert les yeux d’un aveugle de naissance.
33 Unless this man were of God, he could not do any thing.	33 Cet homme ne pourrait rien faire s’il ne venait pas de Dieu.”
34 They answered, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.	34 Les autres ripostèrent: "Tu n’es que péché depuis ta naissance, et tu veux nous faire la leçon?” Et ils l’expulsèrent.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God?	35 Jésus apprit qu’on l’avait expulsé. Quand il le rencontra, il lui dit: "As-tu foi dans le Fils de l’Homme?”
36 He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?	36 Il répondit: "Qui est-il, Seigneur, que je croie en lui?”
37 And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee.	37 Jésus lui dit: "Tu le vois, c’est lui qui te parle.”
38 And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.	38 L’homme déclara: "Je crois, Seigneur.” Et il se prosterna devant lui.
39 And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world; that they who see not, may see; and they who see, may become blind.	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.”
40 And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind?	40 Quelques Pharisiens étaient là, et ils l’entendirent. Ils lui demandèrent: "Nous serions donc aveugles, nous aussi?”
41 Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth.	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”.
