John 9
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśurgacchan mārgamadhyē janmāndhaṁ naram apaśyat|
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
tataḥ śiṣyāstam apr̥cchan hē gurō narōyaṁ svapāpēna vā svapitrāḥ pāpēnāndhō'jāyata?
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
tataḥ sa pratyuditavān ētasya vāsya pitrōḥ pāpād ētādr̥śōbhūda iti nahi kintvanēna yathēśvarasya karmma prakāśyatē taddhētōrēva|
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
dinē tiṣṭhati matprērayituḥ karmma mayā karttavyaṁ yadā kimapi karmma na kriyatē tādr̥śī niśāgacchati|
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
ahaṁ yāvatkālaṁ jagati tiṣṭhāmi tāvatkālaṁ jagatō jyōtiḥsvarūpōsmi|
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
ityukttā bhūmau niṣṭhīvaṁ nikṣipya tēna paṅkaṁ kr̥tavān
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
paścāt tatpaṅkēna tasyāndhasya nētrē pralipya tamityādiśat gatvā śilōhē 'rthāt prēritanāmni sarasi snāhi| tatōndhō gatvā tatrāsnāt tataḥ prannacakṣu rbhūtvā vyāghuṭyāgāt|
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
aparañca samīpavāsinō lōkā yē ca taṁ pūrvvamandham apaśyan tē bakttum ārabhanta yōndhalōkō vartmanyupaviśyābhikṣata sa ēvāyaṁ janaḥ kiṁ na bhavati?
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
kēcidavadan sa ēva kēcidavōcan tādr̥śō bhavati kintu sa svayamabravīt sa ēvāhaṁ bhavāmi|
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
ataēva tē 'pr̥cchan tvaṁ kathaṁ dr̥ṣṭiṁ pāptavān?
11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
tataḥ sōvadad yīśanāmaka ēkō janō mama nayanē paṅkēna pralipya ityājñāpayat śilōhakāsāraṁ gatvā tatra snāhi| tatastatra gatvā mayi snātē dr̥ṣṭimahaṁ labdhavān|
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
tadā tē 'vadan sa pumān kutra? tēnōkttaṁ nāhaṁ jānāmi|
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
aparaṁ tasmin pūrvvāndhē janē phirūśināṁ nikaṭam ānītē sati phirūśinōpi tamapr̥cchan kathaṁ dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāptōsi?
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
tataḥ sa kathitavān sa paṅkēna mama nētrē 'limpat paścād snātvā dr̥ṣṭimalabhē|
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
kintu yīśu rviśrāmavārē karddamaṁ kr̥tvā tasya nayanē prasannē'karōd itikāraṇāt katipayaphirūśinō'vadan
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.
sa pumān īśvarānna yataḥ sa viśrāmavāraṁ na manyatē| tatōnyē kēcit pratyavadan pāpī pumān kim ētādr̥śam āścaryyaṁ karmma karttuṁ śaknōti?
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
itthaṁ tēṣāṁ parasparaṁ bhinnavākyatvam abhavat| paścāt tē punarapi taṁ pūrvvāndhaṁ mānuṣam aprākṣuḥ yō janastava cakṣuṣī prasannē kr̥tavān tasmin tvaṁ kiṁ vadasi? sa ukttavān sa bhaviśadvādī|
18 The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
sa dr̥ṣṭim āptavān iti yihūdīyāstasya dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāptasya janasya pitrō rmukhād aśrutvā na pratyayan|
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
ataēva tē tāvapr̥cchan yuvayō ryaṁ putraṁ janmāndhaṁ vadathaḥ sa kimayaṁ? tarhīdānīṁ kathaṁ draṣṭuṁ śaknōti?
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
tatastasya pitarau pratyavōcatām ayam āvayōḥ putra ā janērandhaśca tadapyāvāṁ jānīvaḥ
21 but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
kintvadhunā kathaṁ dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāptavān tadāvāṁ n jānīvaḥ kōsya cakṣuṣī prasannē kr̥tavān tadapi na jānīva ēṣa vayaḥprāpta ēnaṁ pr̥cchata svakathāṁ svayaṁ vakṣyati|
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
yihūdīyānāṁ bhayāt tasya pitarau vākyamidam avadatāṁ yataḥ kōpi manuṣyō yadi yīśum abhiṣiktaṁ vadati tarhi sa bhajanagr̥hād dūrīkāriṣyatē yihūdīyā iti mantraṇām akurvvan
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
atastasya pitarau vyāharatām ēṣa vayaḥprāpta ēnaṁ pr̥cchata|
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
tadā tē punaśca taṁ pūrvvāndham āhūya vyāharan īśvarasya guṇān vada ēṣa manuṣyaḥ pāpīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
25 He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
tadā sa ukttavān sa pāpī na vēti nāhaṁ jānē pūrvāmandha āsamaham adhunā paśyāmīti mātraṁ jānāmi|
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
tē punarapr̥cchan sa tvāṁ prati kimakarōt? kathaṁ nētrē prasannē 'karōt?
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
tataḥ sōvādīd ēkakr̥tvōkathayaṁ yūyaṁ na śr̥ṇutha tarhi kutaḥ punaḥ śrōtum icchatha? yūyamapi kiṁ tasya śiṣyā bhavitum icchatha?
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
tadā tē taṁ tiraskr̥tya vyāharan tvaṁ tasya śiṣyō vayaṁ mūsāḥ śiṣyāḥ|
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
mūsāvaktrēṇēśvarō jagāda tajjānīmaḥ kintvēṣa kutratyalōka iti na jānīmaḥ|
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
sōvadad ēṣa mama lōcanē prasannē 'karōt tathāpi kutratyalōka iti yūyaṁ na jānītha ētad āścaryyaṁ bhavati|
31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
īśvaraḥ pāpināṁ kathāṁ na śr̥ṇōti kintu yō janastasmin bhaktiṁ kr̥tvā tadiṣṭakriyāṁ karōti tasyaiva kathāṁ śr̥ṇōti ētad vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
kōpi manuṣyō janmāndhāya cakṣuṣī adadāt jagadārambhād ētādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ kōpi kadāpi nāśr̥ṇōt| (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
asmād ēṣa manuṣyō yadīśvarānnājāyata tarhi kiñcidapīdr̥śaṁ karmma karttuṁ nāśaknōt|
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
tē vyāharan tvaṁ pāpād ajāyathāḥ kimasmān tvaṁ śikṣayasi? paścāttē taṁ bahirakurvvan|
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
tadanantaraṁ yihūdīyaiḥ sa bahirakriyata yīśuriti vārttāṁ śrutvā taṁ sākṣāt prāpya pr̥ṣṭavān īśvarasya putrē tvaṁ viśvasiṣi?
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
tadā sa pratyavōcat hē prabhō sa kō yat tasminnahaṁ viśvasimi?
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
tatō yīśuḥ kathitavān tvaṁ taṁ dr̥ṣṭavān tvayā sākaṁ yaḥ kathaṁ kathayati saēva saḥ|
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
tadā hē prabhō viśvasimītyuktvā sa taṁ praṇāmat|
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
paścād yīśuḥ kathitavān nayanahīnā nayanāni prāpnuvanti nayanavantaścāndhā bhavantītyabhiprāyēṇa jagadāham āgaccham|
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
ētat śrutvā nikaṭasthāḥ katipayāḥ phirūśinō vyāharan vayamapi kimandhāḥ?
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
tadā yīśuravādīd yadyandhā abhavata tarhi pāpāni nātiṣṭhan kintu paśyāmīti vākyavadanād yuṣmākaṁ pāpāni tiṣṭhanti|
