John 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	JERUSALEM
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.	1 Au commencement était le Verbe et le Verbe était avec Dieu et le Verbe était Dieu.
2 He was with God in the beginning.	2 Il était au commencement avec Dieu.
3 All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him.	3 Tout fut par lui, et sans lui rien ne fut.
4 Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men.	4 Ce qui fut en lui était la vie, et la vie était la lumière des hommes,
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.	5 et la lumière luit dans les ténèbres et les ténèbres ne l'ont pas saisie.
6 There was a man sent by God, whose name was John.	6 Il y eut un homme envoyé de Dieu. Son nom était Jean.
7 He arrived as a witness to offer testimony about the Light, so that all would believe through him.	7 Il vint pour témoigner, pour rendre témoignage à la lumière, afin que tous crussent par lui.
8 He was not the Light, but he was to offer testimony about the Light.	8 Celui-là n'était pas la lumière, mais il avait à rendre témoignage à la lumière.
9 The true Light, which illuminates every man, was coming into this world.	9 Le Verbe était la lumière véritable, qui éclaire tout homme; il venait dans le monde.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.	10 Il était dans le monde, et le monde fut par lui, et le monde ne l'a pas reconnu.
11 He went to his own, and his own did not accept him.	11 Il est venu chez lui, et les siens ne l'ont pas accueilli.
12 Yet whoever did accept him, those who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become the sons of God.	12 Mais à tous ceux qui l'ont accueilli, il a donné pouvoir de devenir enfants de Dieu, à ceux qui croienten son nom,
13 These are born, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.	13 lui qui ne fut engendré ni du sang, ni d'un vouloir de chair, ni d'un vouloir d'homme, mais de Dieu.
14 And the Word became flesh, and he lived among us, and we saw his glory, glory like that of an only-begotten son from the Father, full of grace and truth.	14 Et le Verbe s'est fait chair et il a habité parmi nous, et nous avons contemplé sa gloire, gloire qu'iltient de son Père comme Fils unique, plein de grâce et de vérité.
15 John offers testimony about him, and he cries out, saying: “This is the one about whom I said: ‘He who is to come after me, has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ ”	15 Jean lui rend témoignage et il clame: "C'est de lui que j'ai dit: Celui qui vient derrière moi, le voilàpassé devant moi, parce qu'avant moi il était."
16 And from his fullness, we all have received, even grace for grace.	16 Oui, de sa plénitude nous avons tous reçu, et grâce pour grâce.
17 For the law was given though Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.	17 Car la Loi fut donnée par Moïse; la grâce et la vérité sont venues par Jésus Christ.
18 No one ever saw God; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he himself has described him.	18 Nul n'a jamais vu Dieu; le Fils unique, qui est tourné vers le sein du Père, lui, l'a fait connaître.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him, so that they might ask him, “Who are you?”	19 Et voici quel fut le témoignage de Jean, quand les Juifs lui envoyèrent de Jérusalem des prêtres et deslévites pour lui demander: "Qui es-tu?"
20 And he confessed it and did not deny it; and what he confessed was: “I am not the Christ.”	20 Il confessa, il ne nia pas, il confessa: "Je ne suis pas le Christ" --
21 And they questioned him: “Then what are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”	21 "Qu'es-tu donc? Lui demandèrent-ils. Es-tu Elie?" Il dit: "Je ne le suis pas" - "Es-tu le prophète?" Ilrépondit: "Non."
22 Therefore, they said to him: “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”	22 Ils lui dirent alors: "Qui es-tu, que nous donnions réponse à ceux qui nous ont envoyés? Que dis-tu detoi-même" --
23 He said, “I am a voice crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”	23 Il déclara: "Je suis la voix de celui qui crie dans le désert: Rendez droit le chemin du Seigneur, commea dit Isaïe, le prophète."
24 And some of those who had been sent were from among the Pharisees.	24 On avait envoyé des Pharisiens.
25 And they questioned him and said to him, “Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, and not the Prophet?”	25 Ils lui demandèrent: "Pourquoi donc baptises-tu, si tu n'es ni le Christ, ni Elie, ni le prophète?"
26 John answered them by saying: “I baptize with water. But in your midst stands one, whom you do not know.	26 Jean leur répondit: "Moi, je baptise dans l'eau. Au milieu de vous se tient quelqu'un que vous neconnaissez pas,
27 The same is he who is to come after me, who has been placed ahead of me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen.”	27 celui qui vient derrière moi, dont je ne suis pas digne de dénouer la courroie de sandale."
28 These things happened in Bethania, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.	28 Cela se passait à Béthanie au-delà du Jourdain, où Jean baptisait.
29 On the next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him, and so he said: “Behold, the Lamb of God. Behold, he who takes away the sin of the world.	29 Le lendemain, il voit Jésus venir vers lui et il dit: "Voici l'agneau de Dieu, qui enlève le péché dumonde.
30 This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me arrives a man, who has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’	30 C'est de lui que j'ai dit: Derrière moi vient un homme qui est passé devant moi parce qu'avant moi ilétait.
31 And I did not know him. Yet it is for this reason that I come baptizing with water: so that he may be made manifest in Israel.”	31 Et moi, je ne le connaissais pas; mais c'est pour qu'il fût manifesté à Israël que je suis venu baptisantdans l'eau."
32 And John offered testimony, saying: “For I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove; and he remained upon him.	32 Et Jean rendit témoignage en disant: "J'ai vu l'Esprit descendre, tel une colombe venant du ciel, etdemeurer sur lui.
33 And I did not know him. But he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: ‘He over whom you will see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’	33 Et moi, je ne le connaissais pas, mais celui qui m'a envoyé baptiser dans l'eau, celui-là m'avait dit:Celui sur qui tu verras l'Esprit descendre et demeurer, c'est lui qui baptise dans l'Esprit Saint.
34 And I saw, and I gave testimony: that this one is the Son of God.”	34 Et moi, j'ai vu et je témoigne que celui-ci est l'Elu de Dieu."
35 The next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples.	35 Le lendemain, Jean se tenait là, de nouveau, avec deux de ses disciples.
36 And catching sight of Jesus walking, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”	36 Regardant Jésus qui passait, il dit: "Voici l'agneau de Dieu."
37 And two disciples were listening to him speaking. And they followed Jesus.	37 Les deux disciples entendirent ses paroles et suivirent Jésus.
38 Then Jesus, turning around and seeing them following him, said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi (which means in translation, Teacher), where do you live?”	38 Jésus se retourna et, voyant qu'ils le suivaient, leur dit: "Que cherchez-vous?" Ils lui dirent: "Rabbi -ce qui veut dire Maître --, où demeures-tu?"
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour.	39 Il leur dit: "Venez et voyez." Ils vinrent donc et virent où il demeurait, et ils demeurèrent auprès de luice jour-là. C'était environ la dixième heure.
40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard about him from John and had followed him.	40 André, le frère de Simon-Pierre, était l'un des deux qui avaient entendu les paroles de Jean et suiviJésus.
41 First, he found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is translated as the Christ).	41 Il rencontre en premier lieu son frère Simon et lui dit: "Nous avons trouvé le Messie" - ce qui veutdire Christ.
42 And he led him to Jesus. And Jesus, gazing at him, said: “You are Simon, son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated as Peter).	42 Il l'amena à Jésus. Jésus le regarda et dit: "Tu es Simon, le fils de Jean; tu t'appelleras Céphas" - ce quiveut dire Pierre.
43 On the next day, he wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”	43 Le lendemain, Jésus résolut de partir pour la Galilée; il rencontre Philippe et lui dit: "Suis-moi!"
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.	44 Philippe était de Bethsaïde, la ville d'André et de Pierre.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and he said to him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”	45 Philippe rencontre Nathanaël et lui dit: "Celui dont Moïse a écrit dans la Loi, ainsi que les prophètes,nous l'avons trouvé: Jésus, le fils de Joseph, de Nazareth."
46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”	46 Nathanaël lui dit: "De Nazareth, peut-il sortir quelque chose de bon?" Philippe lui dit: "Viens et vois."
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and he said about him, “Behold, an Israelite in whom truly there is no deceit.”	47 Jésus vit Nathanaël venir vers lui et il dit de lui: "Voici vraiment un Israélite sans détours."
48 Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”	48 Nathanaël lui dit: "D'où me connais-tu?" Jésus lui répondit: "Avant que Philippe t'appelât, quant tuétais sous le figuier, je t'ai vu."
49 Nathanael answered him and said: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.”	49 Nathanaël reprit: "Rabbi, tu es le Fils de Dieu, tu es le roi d'Israël."
50 Jesus responded and said to him: “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these, you will see.”	50 Jésus lui répondit: "Parce que je t'ai dit: Je t'ai vu sous le figuier, tu crois! Tu verras mieux encore."
51 And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.”	51 Et il lui dit: "En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, vous verrez le ciel ouvert et les anges de Dieu monteret descendre au-dessus du Fils de l'homme."
