John 21 (LSG) · Opened

1Après cela, Jésus se montra encore aux disciples, sur les bords de la mer de Tibériade. Et voici de quelle manière il se montra.Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed Himself to the disciples. He made Himself known in this way:

2Simon Pierre, Thomas, appelé Didyme, Nathanaël, de Cana en Galilée, les fils de Zébédée, et deux autres disciples de Jésus, étaient ensemble.Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.

3Simon Pierre leur dit: Je vais pêcher. Ils lui dirent: Nous allons aussi avec toi. Ils sortirent et montèrent dans une barque, et cette nuit-là ils ne prirent rien.Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they said. So they went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.

4Le matin étant venu, Jésus se trouva sur le rivage; mais les disciples ne savaient pas que c’était Jésus.Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.

5Jésus leur dit: Enfants, n’avez-vous rien à manger? Ils lui répondirent: Non.So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.

6Il leur dit: Jetez le filet du côté droit de la barque, et vous trouverez. Ils le jetèrent donc, et ils ne pouvaient plus le retirer, à cause de la grande quantité de poissons.He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it there, and they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

7Alors le disciple que Jésus aimait dit à Pierre: C’est le Seigneur! Et Simon Pierre, dès qu’il eut entendu que c’était le Seigneur, mit son vêtement et sa ceinture, car il était nu, et se jeta dans la mer.Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.

8Les autres disciples vinrent avec la barque, tirant le filet plein de poissons, car ils n’étaient éloignés de terre que d’environ deux cents coudées.The other disciples came ashore in the boat. They dragged in the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.

9Lorsqu’ils furent descendus à terre, ils virent là des charbons allumés, du poisson dessus, et du pain.When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it, and some bread.

10Jésus leur dit: Apportez des poissons que vous venez de prendre.Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”

11Simon Pierre monta dans la barque, et tira à terre le filet plein de cent cinquante-trois grands poissons; et quoiqu’il y en eût tant, le filet ne se rompit point.So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many, the net was not torn.

12Jésus leur dit: Venez, mangez. Et aucun des disciples n’osait lui demander: Qui es-tu? Sachant que c’était le Seigneur.“Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.

13Jésus s’approcha, prit le pain, et leur en donna; il fit de même du poisson.Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.

14C’était déjà la troisième fois que Jésus se montrait à ses disciples depuis qu’il était ressuscité des morts.This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.

15Après qu’ils eurent mangé, Jésus dit à Simon Pierre: Simon, fils de Jonas, m’aimes-tu plus que ne m’aiment ceux-ci? Il lui répondit: Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t’aime. Jésus lui dit: Pais mes agneaux.When they had finished eating, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus replied, “Feed My lambs.”

16Il lui dit une seconde fois: Simon, fils de Jonas, m’aimes-tu? Pierre lui répondit: Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t’aime. Jésus lui dit: Pais mes brebis.Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus told him, “Shepherd My sheep.”

17Il lui dit pour la troisième fois: Simon, fils de Jonas, m’aimes-tu? Pierre fut attristé de ce qu’il lui avait dit pour la troisième fois: M’aimes-tu? Et il lui répondit: Seigneur, tu sais toutes choses, tu sais que je t’aime. Jésus lui dit: Pais mes brebis.Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love Me?” “Lord, You know all things,” he replied. “You know I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.

18En vérité, en vérité, je te le dis, quand tu étais plus jeune, tu te ceignais toi-même, et tu allais où tu voulais; mais quand tu seras vieux, tu étendras tes mains, et un autre te ceindra, et te mènera où tu ne voudras pas.Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”

19Il dit cela pour indiquer par quelle mort Pierre glorifierait Dieu. Et ayant ainsi parlé, il lui dit: Suis-moi.Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”

20Pierre, s’étant retourné, vit venir après eux le disciple que Jésus aimait, celui qui, pendant le souper, s’était penché sur la poitrine de Jésus, et avait dit: Seigneur, qui est celui qui te livre?Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper to ask, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”

21En le voyant, Pierre dit à Jésus: Et celui-ci, Seigneur, que lui arrivera-t-il?When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

22Jésus lui dit: Si je veux qu’il demeure jusqu’à ce que je vienne, que t’importe? Toi, suis-moi.Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you? You follow Me!”

23Là-dessus, le bruit courut parmi les frères que ce disciple ne mourrait point. Cependant Jésus n’avait pas dit à Pierre qu’il ne mourrait point; mais: Si je veux qu’il demeure jusqu’à ce que je vienne, que t’importe?Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you?”

24C’est ce disciple qui rend témoignage de ces choses, et qui les a écrites. Et nous savons que son témoignage est vrai.This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.

25Jésus a fait encore beaucoup d’autres choses; si on les écrivait en détail, je ne pense pas que le monde même pût contenir les livres qu’on écrirait.There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.
