John 9
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
tataH paraM yIzurgacchan mArgamadhyE janmAndhaM naram apazyat|
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
tataH ziSyAstam apRcchan hE gurO narOyaM svapApEna vA svapitrAH pApEnAndhO'jAyata?
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
tataH sa pratyuditavAn Etasya vAsya pitrOH pApAd EtAdRzObhUda iti nahi kintvanEna yathEzvarasya karmma prakAzyatE taddhEtOrEva|
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
dinE tiSThati matprErayituH karmma mayA karttavyaM yadA kimapi karmma na kriyatE tAdRzI nizAgacchati|
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
ahaM yAvatkAlaM jagati tiSThAmi tAvatkAlaM jagatO jyOtiHsvarUpOsmi|
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,
ityukttA bhUmau niSThIvaM nikSipya tEna pagkaM kRtavAn
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
pazcAt tatpagkEna tasyAndhasya nEtrE pralipya tamityAdizat gatvA zilOhE 'rthAt prEritanAmni sarasi snAhi| tatOndhO gatvA tatrAsnAt tataH prannacakSu rbhUtvA vyAghuTyAgAt|
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
aparanjca samIpavAsinO lOkA yE ca taM pUrvvamandham apazyan tE bakttum Arabhanta yOndhalOkO vartmanyupavizyAbhikSata sa EvAyaM janaH kiM na bhavati?
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
kEcidavadan sa Eva kEcidavOcan tAdRzO bhavati kintu sa svayamabravIt sa EvAhaM bhavAmi|
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
ataEva tE 'pRcchan tvaM kathaM dRSTiM pAptavAn?
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.”
tataH sOvadad yIzanAmaka EkO janO mama nayanE pagkEna pralipya ityAjnjApayat zilOhakAsAraM gatvA tatra snAhi| tatastatra gatvA mayi snAtE dRSTimahaM labdhavAn|
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
tadA tE 'vadan sa pumAn kutra? tEnOkttaM nAhaM jAnAmi|
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
aparaM tasmin pUrvvAndhE janE phirUzinAM nikaTam AnItE sati phirUzinOpi tamapRcchan kathaM dRSTiM prAptOsi?
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
tataH sa kathitavAn sa pagkEna mama nEtrE 'limpat pazcAd snAtvA dRSTimalabhE|
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 yIzu rvizrAmavArE karddamaM kRtvA tasya nayanE prasannE'karOd itikAraNAt katipayaphirUzinO'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 pumAn IzvarAnna yataH sa vizrAmavAraM na manyatE| tatOnyE kEcit pratyavadan pApI pumAn kim EtAdRzam AzcaryyaM karmma karttuM zaknOti?
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.”

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 dRSTim AptavAn iti yihUdIyAstasya dRSTiM prAptasya janasya pitrO rmukhAd azrutvA na pratyayan|
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
ataEva tE tAvapRcchan yuvayO ryaM putraM janmAndhaM vadathaH sa kimayaM? tarhIdAnIM kathaM draSTuM zaknOti?
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
tatastasya pitarau pratyavOcatAm ayam AvayOH putra A janErandhazca tadapyAvAM jAnIvaH
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.”
kintvadhunA kathaM dRSTiM prAptavAn tadAvAM n jAnIvaH kOsya cakSuSI prasannE kRtavAn tadapi na jAnIva ESa vayaHprApta EnaM pRcchata svakathAM svayaM vakSyati|
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.
yihUdIyAnAM bhayAt tasya pitarau vAkyamidam avadatAM yataH kOpi manuSyO yadi yIzum abhiSiktaM vadati tarhi sa bhajanagRhAd dUrIkAriSyatE yihUdIyA iti mantraNAm akurvvan
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
atastasya pitarau vyAharatAm ESa vayaHprApta EnaM pRcchata|
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.”
tadA tE punazca taM pUrvvAndham AhUya vyAharan Izvarasya guNAn vada ESa manuSyaH pApIti vayaM jAnImaH|
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.”
tadA sa ukttavAn sa pApI na vEti nAhaM jAnE pUrvAmandha Asamaham adhunA pazyAmIti mAtraM jAnAmi|
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
tE punarapRcchan sa tvAM prati kimakarOt? kathaM nEtrE prasannE 'karOt?
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?”
tataH sOvAdId EkakRtvOkathayaM yUyaM na zRNutha tarhi kutaH punaH zrOtum icchatha? yUyamapi kiM tasya ziSyA bhavitum icchatha?
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
tadA tE taM tiraskRtya vyAharan tvaM tasya ziSyO vayaM mUsAH ziSyAH|
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
mUsAvaktrENEzvarO jagAda tajjAnImaH kintvESa kutratyalOka iti na jAnImaH|
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
sOvadad ESa mama lOcanE prasannE 'karOt tathApi kutratyalOka iti yUyaM na jAnItha Etad AzcaryyaM 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.
IzvaraH pApinAM kathAM na zRNOti kintu yO janastasmin bhaktiM kRtvA tadiSTakriyAM karOti tasyaiva kathAM zRNOti Etad vayaM jAnImaH|
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
kOpi manuSyO janmAndhAya cakSuSI adadAt jagadArambhAd EtAdRzIM kathAM kOpi kadApi nAzRNOt| (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
asmAd ESa manuSyO yadIzvarAnnAjAyata tarhi kinjcidapIdRzaM karmma karttuM nAzaknOt|
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
tE vyAharan tvaM pApAd ajAyathAH kimasmAn tvaM zikSayasi? pazcAttE taM bahirakurvvan|
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
tadanantaraM yihUdIyaiH sa bahirakriyata yIzuriti vArttAM zrutvA taM sAkSAt prApya pRSTavAn Izvarasya putrE tvaM vizvasiSi?
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
tadA sa pratyavOcat hE prabhO sa kO yat tasminnahaM vizvasimi?
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
tatO yIzuH kathitavAn tvaM taM dRSTavAn tvayA sAkaM yaH kathaM kathayati saEva saH|
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
tadA hE prabhO vizvasimItyuktvA sa taM praNAmat|
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.”
pazcAd yIzuH kathitavAn nayanahInA nayanAni prApnuvanti nayanavantazcAndhA bhavantItyabhiprAyENa jagadAham Agaccham|
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
Etat zrutvA nikaTasthAH katipayAH phirUzinO vyAharan vayamapi kimandhAH?
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
