Jāņa Evaņg̒elijs 9
1 Un aiziedams Viņš ieraudzīja cilvēku, kas bija neredzīgs no dzimuma.
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
2 Un Viņa mācekļi Viņam vaicāja sacīdami: “Rabbi, kurš ir grēkojis: vai šis, vai viņa vecāki, ka tas ir neredzīgs piedzimis?”
‘Rabbi,’ asked his disciples, ‘who was it that sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’
3 Jēzus atbildēja: “Nedz šis grēkojis, nedz viņa vecāki; bet ka Dieva darbi pie viņa parādītos.
‘Neither the man nor the parents,’ replied Jesus, ‘but he was born blind so that the work of God should be made plain in him.
4 Man nākas strādāt Tā darbus, kas Mani sūtījis, kamēr vēl ir diena; nāk nakts, kad neviens nevar strādāt.
We must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Kamēr Es esmu pasaulē, Es esmu pasaules gaišums.”
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’
6 To sacījis Viņš spļāva zemē un taisīja svaidāmo no tām siekalām un svaidīja tā neredzīgā acis ar to svaidāmo,
Saying this, Jesus spat on the ground, made some paste with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
7 Un sacīja uz to: “Ej, mazgājies Siloāmas dīķī” (Siloāma, tas ir tulkots: sūtīts). Tad tas nogāja un mazgājās un pārnāca redzīgs.
‘Go,’ he said, ‘and wash your eyes in the Bath of Siloam’ (a word which means “messenger”). So the man went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see.
8 Tad tie kaimiņi un kas viņu papriekš bija redzējuši, ka viņš bija neredzīgs, sacīja: “Vai šis nav tas, kas tur sēdēja un nabagoja?”
His neighbours, and those who had formerly known him by sight as a beggar, exclaimed, ‘Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?’
9 Citi sacīja: “Viņš tas pats;” un citi: “Viņš tam līdzīgs!” Bet viņš sacīja: “Es tas esmu.”
‘Yes,’ some said, ‘it is’; while others said, ‘No, but he is like him.’ The man himself said, ‘I am he.’
10 Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: “Kā tavas acis tapa atdarītas?”
‘How did you get your sight, then?’ they asked.
11 Viņš atbildēja un sacīja: “Viens cilvēks, kas top saukts Jēzus, taisīja svaidāmo un ar to svaidīja manas acis un sacīja uz mani: Ej uz Siloāmas dīķi un mazgājies. Tad es nogājis mazgājos un tapu redzīgs.”
‘The man whom they call Jesus,’ he answered, ‘made a paste, and anointed my eyes, and said to me “Go to Siloam and wash your eyes.” So I went and washed my eyes, and gained my sight.’
12 Tad viņi uz to sacīja: “Kur Tas ir?” Tas saka: “Es nezinu.”
‘Where is he?’ they asked. ‘I do not know,’ he answered.
13 Tad tie to citkārt neredzīgo noveda pie tiem farizejiem.
They took the man, who had been blind, to the Pharisees.
14 Un tā bija svētdiena, kad Jēzus to svaidāmo bija taisījis un tam acis atdarījis.
Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the paste and gave him his sight.
15 Un tad atkal tie farizeji viņam vaicāja: “Kā tas tapis redzīgs?” Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Viņš svaidāmas zāles uzlika uz manām acīm, un es mazgājos un redzu.”
So the Pharisees also questioned the man as to how he had gained his sight. ‘He put a paste on my eyes,’ he answered, ‘and I washed them, and I can see.’
16 Tad citi no tiem farizejiem sacīja: “Šis cilvēks nav no Dieva, jo Viņš svētdienu nesvētī;” citi sacīja: “Kā gan grēcīgs cilvēks tādas brīnuma zīmes var darīt?” Un šķelšanās bija viņu starpā.
‘The man cannot be from God,’ said some of the Pharisees, ‘for he does not keep the Sabbath.’ ‘How is it possible,’ retorted others, ‘for a bad man to give signs like this?’
17 Un tie atkal uz to neredzīgo saka: “Ko tu par Viņu saki, ka Viņš tavas acis ir atvēris?” Un tas sacīja: “Viņš ir pravietis.”
So there was a difference of opinion among them, and they again questioned the man. ‘What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?’
18 Bet tie Jūdi neticēja no viņa, ka viņš bijis neredzīgs un tapis redzīgs, tiekams tie sauca tā vecākus, kas bija tapis redzīgs.
The religious authorities, however, refused to believe that he had been blind and had gained his sight, until they had called his parents and questioned them.
19 Un viņi tiem vaicāja sacīdami: “Vai šis ir jūsu dēls, par ko jūs sakāt, ka viņš neredzīgs piedzimis? Kā tad tas tagad redz?”
‘Is this your son,’ they asked, ‘who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?’
20 Viņa vecāki tiem atbildēja un sacīja: “Mēs zinām, ka šis ir mūsu dēls, un ka tas neredzīgs piedzimis.
‘We know that this is our son,’ answered the parents, ‘and that he was born blind;
21 Bet kā tas tagad redz, to nezinām, vai kas viņa acis atdarījis, to mēs nezinām. Viņš ir diezgan vecs, vaicājiet viņam, viņš pats par sevi runās.”
but how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him – he is old enough – he will tell you about himself.’
22 To viņa vecāki sacīja, jo tie bijās no tiem Jūdiem; jo tie Jūdi jau bija sarunājušies, izslēgt no draudzes to, kas apliecinātu, Viņu esam Kristu.
His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the authorities; for the authorities had already agreed that, if anyone should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.
23 Tādēļ viņa vecāki sacīja: “Viņš ir diezgan vecs, vaicājiet viņam.”
This was why his parents said “He is old enough; ask him.”
24 Kad tie otru reiz to cilvēku sauca, kas bijis neredzīgs, un uz to sacīja: “Dod Dievam godu, mēs zinām, ka Šis cilvēks ir grēcinieks.”
So the authorities again called the man who had been blind, and said to him, ‘Give God the praise; we know that this is a bad man.’
25 Tad tas atbildēja un sacīja: “Vai Viņš ir grēcinieks, to nezinu; to vien zinu, ka es biju neredzīgs un tagad redzu.”
‘I know nothing about his being a bad man,’ he replied. ‘One thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I can see.’
26 Un tie atkal uz viņu sacīja: “Ko Viņš tev darījis? Kā Viņš tavas acis atvēris?”
‘What did he do to you?’ they asked. ‘How did he give you your sight?’
27 Viņš tiem atbildēja: “Es jums jau esmu sacījis, un jūs neesat klausījuši. Kam jūs to atkal gribat dzirdēt? Vai arī jūs gribat palikt par Viņa mācekļiem?”
‘I told you just now,’ he answered, ‘and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Surely you also do not want to become his disciples?’
28 Tad tie viņu lamāja un sacīja: “Tu esi Viņa māceklis, bet mēs esam Mozus mācekļi.
‘You are his disciple,’ they retorted scornfully. ‘But we are disciples of Moses.
29 Mēs zinām, ka Dievs uz Mozu ir runājis; bet par šo mēs nezinām, no kurienes Viņš ir.”
We know that God spoke to Moses; but, as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.’
30 Tas cilvēks atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Tā ir brīnišķa lieta, ka jūs nezināt, no kurienes Tas ir, un tomēr Tas manas acis atdarījis.
‘Well,’ the man replied, ‘this is very strange; you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has given me my sight!
31 Mēs jau zinām, ka Dievs grēciniekus neklausa, bet kas ir dievbijīgs un Viņa prātu dara, to tādu Viņš klausa.
We know that God never listens to bad people, but, when a person is god-fearing and does God’s will, God listens to them.
32 Tas ne mūžam vēl nav dzirdēts, ka kāds ir atdarījis tāda acis, kas neredzīgs piedzimis. (aiōn g165)
Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as anyone’s giving sight to a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Ja Tas nebūtu no Dieva, tad Tas neko nespētu darīt.”
If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.’
34 Tie atbildēja un uz viņu sacīja: “Tu viscaur grēkos esi piedzimis un tu mūs gribi mācīt?” Un tie viņu izdzina ārā.
‘You,’ they retorted, ‘were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?’ So they expelled him.
35 Jēzus dzirdēja, ka tie to bija izdzinuši, un to atradis Viņš uz to sacīja: “Vai tu tici uz Dieva Dēlu?”
Jesus heard of their having put him out; and, when he had found the man, he asked, ‘Do you believe in the Son of Man?’
36 Tas atbildēja un sacīja: “Kungs, kurš Tas ir, lai es ticu uz Viņu.”
‘Tell me who he is, Sir,’ he replied, ‘so that I may believe in him.’
37 Un Jēzus uz to sacīja: “Tu Viņu esi redzējis, un kas ar tevi runā, ir Tas.”
‘Not only have you seen him,’ said Jesus, ‘but it is he who is now speaking to you.’
38 Un viņš sacīja: “Kungs, es ticu,” - un Viņu pielūdza.
‘Then, Sir, I do believe,’ said the man, bowing to the ground before him;
39 Un Jēzus sacīja: “Uz tiesu Es esmu nācis šinī pasaulē, lai tie neredzīgie redz un tie redzīgie top akli.”
and Jesus added, ‘It was to put people to the test that I came into this world, in order that those that cannot see should see, and that those that can see should become blind.’
40 Un kādi no tiem farizejiem, kas pie Viņa bija, to dzirdēja un uz Viņu sacīja: “Vai tad mēs arīdzan esam akli?”
Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him said, ‘Then are we blind too?’
41 Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: “Kad jūs būtu akli, tad jums nebūtu grēka. Bet tagad jūs sakāt: mēs redzam; tāpēc jūsu grēks paliek.
‘If you had been blind,’ replied Jesus, ‘you would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, you say “We can see,” and so your sin remains.
