John 9

وَفِيمَا هُوَ مُجْتَازٌ رَأَى إِنْسَانًا أَعْمَى مُنْذُ وِلاَدَتِهِ،

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

فَسَأَلَهُ تَلاَمِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ:«يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَنْ أَخْطَأَ: هذَا أَمْ أَبَوَاهُ حَتَّى وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟».

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ:«لاَ هذَا أَخْطَأَ وَلاَأَبَوَاهُ، لكِنْ لِتَظْهَرَ أَعْمَالُ اللهِ فِيهِ.

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ أَعْمَالَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي مَا دَامَ نَهَارٌ. يَأْتِي لَيْلٌ حِينَ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

مَا دُمْتُ فِي الْعَالَمِ فَأَنَا نُورُ الْعَالَمِ».

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

قَالَ هذَا وَتَفَلَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَصَنَعَ مِنَ التُّفْلِ طِينًا وَطَلَى بِالطِّينِ عَيْنَيِ الأَعْمَى.

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اذْهَبِ اغْتَسِلْ فِي بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ» الَّذِي تَفْسِيرُهُ: مُرْسَلٌ، فَمَضَى وَاغْتَسَلَ وَأَتَى بَصِيرًا.

And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

فَالْجِيرَانُ وَالَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ قَبْلاً أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى، قَالُوا:«أَلَيْسَ هذَا هُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَجْلِسُ وَيَسْتَعْطِي؟»

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

آخَرُونَ قَالُوا:«هذَا هُوَ». وَآخَرُونَ: «إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُهُ». وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَقَالَ:«إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ».

Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

فَقَالُوا لَهُ:«كَيْفَ انْفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَاكَ؟»

Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

أَجَابَ ذَاكَ وقَالَ:«إِنْسَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَسُوعُ صَنَعَ طِينًا وَطَلَى عَيْنَيَّ، وَقَالَ لِي: اذْهَبْ إِلَى بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ وَاغْتَسِلْ. فَمَضَيْتُ وَاغْتَسَلْتُ فَأَبْصَرْتُ».

He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

فَقَالُوا لَهُ:«أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟» قَالَ:«لاَ أَعْلَمُ».

Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

فَأَتَوْا إِلَى الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ بِالَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلاً أَعْمَى.

They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

وَكَانَ سَبْتٌ حِينَ صَنَعَ يَسُوعُ الطِّينَ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

فَسَأَلَهُ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ أَيْضًا كَيْفَ أَبْصَرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«وَضَعَ طِينًا عَلَى عَيْنَيَّ وَاغْتَسَلْتُ، فَأَنَا أُبْصِرُ».

Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ:«هذَا الإِنْسَانُ لَيْسَ مِنَ اللهِ، لأَنَّهُ لاَ يَحْفَظُ السَّبْتَ». آخَرُونَ قَالُوا:«كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ إِنْسَانٌ خَاطِئٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الآيَاتِ؟» وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمُ انْشِقَاقٌ.

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

قَالُوا أَيْضًا لِلأَعْمَى:«مَاذَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ عَنْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّهُ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟» فَقَالَ:«إِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ!».

They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

فَلَمْ يُصَدِّقِ الْيَهُودُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى فَأَبْصَرَ حَتَّى دَعَوْا أَبَوَيِ الَّذِي أَبْصَرَ.

But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

فَسَأَلُوهُمَا قَائِلِينَ:«أَهذَا ابْنُكُمَا الَّذِي تَقُولاَنِ إِنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟ فَكَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ الآنَ؟»

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

أَجَابَهُمْ أَبَوَاهُ وَقَالاَ:«نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هذَا ابْنُنَا، وَأَنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى.

His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

وَأَمَّا كَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ الآنَ فَلاَ نَعْلَمُ. أَوْ مَنْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَلاَ نَعْلَمُ. هُوَ كَامِلُ السِّنِّ. اسْأَلُوهُ فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ».

But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

قَالَ أَبَوَاهُ هذَا لأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَخَافَانِ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، لأَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانُوا قَدْ تَعَاهَدُوا أَنَّهُ إِنِ اعْتَرَفَ أَحَدٌ بِأَنَّهُ الْمَسِيحُ يُخْرَجُ مِنَ الْمَجْمَعِ.

These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

لِذلِكَ قَالَ أَبَوَاهُ:«إِنَّهُ كَامِلُ السِّنِّ، اسْأَلُوهُ».

Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

فَدَعَوْا ثَانِيَةً الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى، وَقَالُوا لَهُ:«أَعْطِ مَجْدًا ِللهِ. نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هذَا الإِنْسَانَ خَاطِئٌ».

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

فَأَجَابَ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ:«أَخَاطِئٌ هُوَ؟ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ. إِنَّمَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا: أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَعْمَى وَالآنَ أُبْصِرُ».

He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَيْضًا:«مَاذَا صَنَعَ بِكَ؟ كَيْفَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟»

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

أَجَابَهُمْ:«قَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا. لِمَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا أَيْضًا؟ أَلَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَصِيرُوا لَهُ تَلاَمِيذَ؟»

He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

فَشَتَمُوهُ وَقَالُوا:«أَنْتَ تِلْمِيذُ ذَاكَ، وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَإِنَّنَا تَلاَمِيذُ مُوسَى.

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مُوسَى كَلَّمَهُ اللهُ، وَأَمَّا هذَا فَمَا نَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ».

We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

أَجَابَ الرَّجُلُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«إِنَّ فِي هذَا عَجَبًا! إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وَقَدْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيَّ.

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

وَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ لاَ يَسْمَعُ لِلْخُطَاةِ. وَلكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَتَّقِي اللهَ وَيَفْعَلُ مَشِيئَتَهُ، فَلِهذَا يَسْمَعُ.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

مُنْذُ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يُسْمَعْ أَنَّ أَحَدًا فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْ مَوْلُودٍ أَعْمَى.

Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هذَا مِنَ اللهِ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا».

If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

أجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ:«فِي الْخَطَايَا وُلِدْتَ أَنْتَ بِجُمْلَتِكَ، وَأَنْتَ تُعَلِّمُنَا!» فَأَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجًا.

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

فَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُمْ أَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجًا، فَوَجَدَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ:«أَتُؤْمِنُ بِابْنِ اللهِ؟»

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

أَجَابَ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ هُوَ يَا سَيِّدُ لأُومِنَ بِهِ؟»

He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ، وَالَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَكَ هُوَ هُوَ!».

And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

فَقَالَ: «أُومِنُ يَا سَيِّدُ!». وَسَجَدَ لَهُ.

And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ:«لِدَيْنُونَةٍ أَتَيْتُ أَنَا إِلَى هذَا الْعَالَمِ، حَتَّى يُبْصِرَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُبْصِرُونَ وَيَعْمَى الَّذِينَ يُبْصِرُونَ».

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

فَسَمِعَ هذَا الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ مِنَ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، وَقَالُوا لَهُ:«أَلَعَلَّنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا عُمْيَانٌ؟»

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«لَوْ كُنْتُمْ عُمْيَانًا لَمَا كَانَتْ لَكُمْ خَطِيَّةٌ. وَلكِنِ الآنَ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّنَا نُبْصِرُ، فَخَطِيَّتُكُمْ بَاقِيَةٌ.

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
