yOhanaH 9
1 tataH paraM yIzurgacchan mArgamadhyE janmAndhaM naram apazyat|
And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.
2 tataH ziSyAstam apRcchan hE gurO narOyaM svapApEna vA svapitrAH pApEnAndhO'jAyata?
And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?
3 tataH sa pratyuditavAn Etasya vAsya pitrOH pApAd EtAdRzObhUda iti nahi kintvanEna yathEzvarasya karmma prakAzyatE taddhEtOrEva|
Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 dinE tiSThati matprErayituH karmma mayA karttavyaM yadA kimapi karmma na kriyatE tAdRzI nizAgacchati|
We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 ahaM yAvatkAlaM jagati tiSThAmi tAvatkAlaM jagatO jyOtiHsvarUpOsmi|
When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 ityukttA bhUmau niSThIvaM nikSipya tEna pagkaM kRtavAn
When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,
7 pazcAt tatpagkEna tasyAndhasya nEtrE pralipya tamityAdizat gatvA zilOhE 'rthAt prEritanAmni sarasi snAhi| tatOndhO gatvA tatrAsnAt tataH prannacakSu rbhUtvA vyAghuTyAgAt|
and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 aparanjca samIpavAsinO lOkA yE ca taM pUrvvamandham apazyan tE bakttum Arabhanta yOndhalOkO vartmanyupavizyAbhikSata sa EvAyaM janaH kiM na bhavati?
The neighbours therefore, and they which saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 kEcidavadan sa Eva kEcidavOcan tAdRzO bhavati kintu sa svayamabravIt sa EvAhaM bhavAmi|
Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am [he].
10 ataEva tE 'pRcchan tvaM kathaM dRSTiM pAptavAn?
They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?
11 tataH sOvadad yIzanAmaka EkO janO mama nayanE pagkEna pralipya ityAjnjApayat zilOhakAsAraM gatvA tatra snAhi| tatastatra gatvA mayi snAtE dRSTimahaM labdhavAn|
He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.
12 tadA tE 'vadan sa pumAn kutra? tEnOkttaM nAhaM jAnAmi|
And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.
13 aparaM tasmin pUrvvAndhE janE phirUzinAM nikaTam AnItE sati phirUzinOpi tamapRcchan kathaM dRSTiM prAptOsi?
They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14 tataH sa kathitavAn sa pagkEna mama nEtrE 'limpat pazcAd snAtvA dRSTimalabhE|
Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 kintu yIzu rvizrAmavArE karddamaM kRtvA tasya nayanE prasannE'karOd itikAraNAt katipayaphirUzinO'vadan
Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 sa pumAn IzvarAnna yataH sa vizrAmavAraM na manyatE| tatOnyE kEcit pratyavadan pApI pumAn kim EtAdRzam AzcaryyaM karmma karttuM zaknOti?
Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.
17 itthaM tESAM parasparaM bhinnavAkyatvam abhavat| pazcAt tE punarapi taM pUrvvAndhaM mAnuSam aprAkSuH yO janastava cakSuSI prasannE kRtavAn tasmin tvaM kiM vadasi? sa ukttavAn sa bhavizadvAdI|
They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18 sa dRSTim AptavAn iti yihUdIyAstasya dRSTiM prAptasya janasya pitrO rmukhAd azrutvA na pratyayan|
The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
19 ataEva tE tAvapRcchan yuvayO ryaM putraM janmAndhaM vadathaH sa kimayaM? tarhIdAnIM kathaM draSTuM zaknOti?
and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 tatastasya pitarau pratyavOcatAm ayam AvayOH putra A janErandhazca tadapyAvAM jAnIvaH
His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 kintvadhunA kathaM dRSTiM prAptavAn tadAvAM n jAnIvaH kOsya cakSuSI prasannE kRtavAn tadapi na jAnIva ESa vayaHprApta EnaM pRcchata svakathAM svayaM vakSyati|
but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.
22 yihUdIyAnAM bhayAt tasya pitarau vAkyamidam avadatAM yataH kOpi manuSyO yadi yIzum abhiSiktaM vadati tarhi sa bhajanagRhAd dUrIkAriSyatE yihUdIyA iti mantraNAm akurvvan
These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 atastasya pitarau vyAharatAm ESa vayaHprApta EnaM pRcchata|
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 tadA tE punazca taM pUrvvAndham AhUya vyAharan Izvarasya guNAn vada ESa manuSyaH pApIti vayaM jAnImaH|
So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 tadA sa ukttavAn sa pApI na vEti nAhaM jAnE pUrvAmandha Asamaham adhunA pazyAmIti mAtraM jAnAmi|
He therefore answered, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 tE punarapRcchan sa tvAM prati kimakarOt? kathaM nEtrE prasannE 'karOt?
They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 tataH sOvAdId EkakRtvOkathayaM yUyaM na zRNutha tarhi kutaH punaH zrOtum icchatha? yUyamapi kiM tasya ziSyA bhavitum icchatha?
He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?
28 tadA tE taM tiraskRtya vyAharan tvaM tasya ziSyO vayaM mUsAH ziSyAH|
And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.
29 mUsAvaktrENEzvarO jagAda tajjAnImaH kintvESa kutratyalOka iti na jAnImaH|
We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
30 sOvadad ESa mama lOcanE prasannE 'karOt tathApi kutratyalOka iti yUyaM na jAnItha Etad AzcaryyaM bhavati|
The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and [yet] he opened mine eyes.
31 IzvaraH pApinAM kathAM na zRNOti kintu yO janastasmin bhaktiM kRtvA tadiSTakriyAM karOti tasyaiva kathAM zRNOti Etad vayaM jAnImaH|
We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.
32 kOpi manuSyO janmAndhAya cakSuSI adadAt jagadArambhAd EtAdRzIM kathAM kOpi kadApi nAzRNOt| (aiōn g165)
Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 asmAd ESa manuSyO yadIzvarAnnAjAyata tarhi kinjcidapIdRzaM karmma karttuM nAzaknOt|
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
34 tE vyAharan tvaM pApAd ajAyathAH kimasmAn tvaM zikSayasi? pazcAttE taM bahirakurvvan|
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 tadanantaraM yihUdIyaiH sa bahirakriyata yIzuriti vArttAM zrutvA taM sAkSAt prApya pRSTavAn Izvarasya putrE tvaM vizvasiSi?
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 tadA sa pratyavOcat hE prabhO sa kO yat tasminnahaM vizvasimi?
He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
37 tatO yIzuH kathitavAn tvaM taM dRSTavAn tvayA sAkaM yaH kathaM kathayati saEva saH|
Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.
38 tadA hE prabhO vizvasimItyuktvA sa taM praNAmat|
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 pazcAd yIzuH kathitavAn nayanahInA nayanAni prApnuvanti nayanavantazcAndhA bhavantItyabhiprAyENa jagadAham Agaccham|
And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they which see not may see; and that they which see may become blind.
40 Etat zrutvA nikaTasthAH katipayAH phirUzinO vyAharan vayamapi kimandhAH?
Those of the Pharisees which were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?
41 tadA yIzuravAdId yadyandhA abhavata tarhi pApAni nAtiSThan kintu pazyAmIti vAkyavadanAd yuSmAkaM pApAni tiSThanti|
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.
