1 A nd as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.

وَبَيْنَما كانَ يَسُوعُ ماشِياً، رَأى رَجُلاً أعمَى مُنْذُ مَولِدِهِ.

2 A nd his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this or his parents, that he should be born blind?

فَسَألَهُ تَلامِيْذُهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، مَنِ الَّذِي أخطَأ حَتَّى وُلِدَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ أعمَى، أهُوَ أمْ وَالِداهُ؟»

3 J esus answered, Neither has this sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.

فَأجابَ يَسُوعُ: «لَمْ يُولَدْ أعمَى بِسَبَبِ خَطِيَّتِهِ أوْ خَطِيَّةِ وَالِدَيْهِ، بَلْ وُلِدَ أعمَى لِكَيْ تَظْهَرَ قُوَّةُ اللهِ فِي شِفائِهِ.

4 I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. night is coming, when no one can work.

يَنبَغِي أنْ نَعْمَلَ أعمالَ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي مادامَ الوَقْتُ نَهاراً. فَعِندَما يَأْتِي الَّليلُ، لا يَسْتَطِيْعُ أحَدٌ أنْ يَعْمَلَ.

5 A s long as I am in the world, I am light of the world.

أنا النُّورُ لِلعالَمِ مادُمْتُ فِي العالَمِ.»

6 H aving said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.

وَبَعْدَ أنْ قالَ هَذا بَصَقَ عَلَى التُّرابِ وَصَنَعَ مِنْهُ طِيْناً. ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الطِّيْنَ عَلَى عَيْنَيِّ الأعمَى

7 A nd he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.

وَقالَ لَهُ: «اذْهَبْ وَاغْتَسِلْ فِي بِرْكَةِ سِلْوامَ.» وَمَعْنَى هَذِهِ الكَلِمَةِ «مُرْسَلٌ.» فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ وَاغْتَسَلَ، وَعادَ مُبْصِراً.

8 T he neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

فَرَآهُ جِيْرانُهُ وَالَّذِيْنَ اعتادُوا رُؤْيَتَهُ وَهُوَ يَسْتَعْطِي فَقالُوا: «ألَيْسَ هَذا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كانَ يَجلِسُ وَيَسْتَعْطِي؟»

9 S ome said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: he said, It is I.

فَقالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: «إنَّهُ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ!» وَقالَ آخَرُونَ: «لا، لَيْسَ هُوَ، بَلْ يُشْبِهُهُ.» أمّا هُوَ فَقالَ: «أنا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كانَ أعمَى.»

10 T hey said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?

حِيْنَئِذٍ قالُوا لَهُ: «فَكَيْفَ أبْصَرْتَ؟»

11 H e answered, A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.

فَأجابَ: «صَنَعَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ يَسُوعُ طِيْناً، وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى عَيْنَيَّ، وَقالَ لِيْ: ‹اذْهَبْ إلَى بِرْكَةِ سِلْوامَ وَاغْتَسِلْ.› فَذَهَبْتُ وَاغْتَسَلْتُ فَأبْصَرْتُ.»

12 T hey said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.

فَقالُوا لَهُ: «وَأيْنَ هُوَ الآنَ؟» قالَ: «لا أدْرِي.» التَّحْقِيْقُ مَعَ الأعمَى الَّذِي شفاهُ يَسُوع

13 T hey bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.

فَأخَذُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كانَ أعمَى إلَى الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ.

14 N ow it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

وَكانَ يَسُوعُ قَدْ صَنَعَ الطِّيْنَ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيِّ الرَّجُلِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.

15 T he Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

فَبَدَأ الفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ أيضاً يَسْألُونَهُ كَيْفَ نالَ بَصَرَهُ. فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «وَضَعَ يَسُوعُ طِيْناً عَلَى عَيْنَيَّ ثُمَّ اغتَسَلْتُ، وَأنا الآنَ أُبْصِرُ.»

16 S ome of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.

فَقالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: «لَيْسَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ مِنَ اللهِ، فَهُوَ لا يُراعِي السَّبْتَ.» وَقالَ آخَرُونَ: «كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ لإنْسانٍ خاطِئٍ أنْ يَصْنَعَ مُعْجِزاتٍ كَهَذِهِ؟» فَحَدَثَ خِلافٌ بَيْنَهُمْ.

17 T hey say therefore again to the blind, What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

فَعادُوا يَسْألُونَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كانَ أعْمَى: «الآنَ وَقَدْ فَتَحَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَيْنَيْكَ، ما رَأْيُكَ فِيْهِ؟» فَقالَ الرَّجُلُ: «هُوَ نَبِيٌّ!»

18 T he Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.

وَلَمْ يَشَأْ قادَةُ اليَهُودِ أنْ يُصَدِّقُوا أنَّهُ كانَ أعمَى وَأبْصَرَ. فَاسْتَدْعُوا وَالِدَيِّ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي نالَ بَصَرَهُ

19 A nd they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?

وَسَألُوهُما: «أهَذا ابْنُكُما الَّذِي تَقُولانِ إنَّهُ وُلِدَ أعمَى؟ فَكَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ أنْ يُبْصِرَ الآنَ؟»

20 H is parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

فَأجابَ وَالِداهُ: «نَحْنُ نَعلَمُ أنَّ هَذا هُوَ ابْنُنا، وَأنَّهُ وُلِدَ أعمَى.

21 b ut how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself.

أمّا كَيْفَ يَسْتَطِيْعُ أنْ يُبْصِرَ الآنَ، أوْ مَنِ الَّذِي جَعَلَهُ يُبْصِرُ، فَلا نَعلَمُ! اسْألُوهُ فَهُوَ رَجُلٌ بالِغٌ، وَيُمْكِنُهُ أنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ.»

22 H is parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.

قالَ وَالِداهُ ذَلِكَ لِأنَّهُما كانا يَخْشَيانِ قادَةَ اليَهُودِ، إذْ كانُوا قَدْ قَرَّرُوا أنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِأنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ المَسِيْحُ يُحْرَمُ مِنْ دُخُولِ المَجمَعِ.

23 O n this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.

لِذَلِكَ قالا: «هُوَ رَجُلٌ بالِغٌ فَاسْألُوهُ!»

24 T hey called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

فَاسْتَدْعَى قادَةُ اليَهُودِ ثانِيَةً الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كانَ أعمَى وَقالُوا لَهُ: «مَجِّدِ اللهَ بِصِدْقِكَ، فَنَحْنُ نَعلَمُ أنَّ ذَلِكَ الإنسانَ خاطِئٌ.»

25 H e answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind, now I see.

فَأجابَهُمْ: «لا أدرِي إنْ كانَ خاطِئاً أمْ لا، لَكِنِّي أعلَمُ شَيْئاً واحِداً: كُنْتُ أعمَى وَأنا الآنَ أُبْصِرُ!»

26 A nd they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

فَسَألُوهُ: «ماذا فَعَلَ بِكَ؟ كَيْفَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟»

27 H e answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?

أجابَهُمْ: «لَقَدْ سَبَقَ أنْ أخبَرْتُكُمْ، لَكِنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمْ أنْ تَسْمَعُونِي! فَلِماذا تُرِيْدُونَ أنْ تَسْمَعُوا الآنَ؟ أتُرِيْدُونَ أنْ تُصْبِحُوا أتباعاً لَهُ؟»

28 T hey railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

فَشَتَمُوهُ وَقالوا: «أنتَ تابِعٌ لَهُ! أمّا نَحْنُ فَأتباعُ مُوسَى.

29 W e know that God spoke to Moses; but this, we know not whence he is.

نَحْنُ نَعلَمُ أنَّ اللهَ كَلَّمَ مُوسَى، لَكِنَّنا لا نَعلَمُ مِنْ أيْنَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ.»

30 T he man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.

فَأجابَهُمْ: «ما أغرَبَ هَذا! فَأنتُمْ لا تَعلَمُونَ مِنْ أيْنَ هُوَ، وَمَعْ هَذا فَقَدْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيَّ!

31 w e know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

وَنَحْنُ نَعلَمُ أنَّ اللهَ لا يَسْتَمِعُ لِلخُطاةِ، بَلْ يَسْتَمِعُ لِمَنْ يَتَّقِيْهِ وَيَعْمَلُ إرادَتَهُ.

32 S ince time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.

وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ أحَدٌ مِنْ قَبلُ أنَّ شَخْصاً أعطَى بَصَراً لإنْسانٍ وُلِدَ أعمَى.

33 I f this were not of God he would be able to do nothing.

فَلَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هَذا الرَّجُلُ مِنَ اللهِ، لَما أمكَنَهُ أنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً.»

34 T hey answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.

فَقالُوا لَهُ: «أنتَ كُلُّكَ مَولُودٌ فِي الخَطايا، وَرُغْمَ ذَلِكَ تُعَلِّمُنا؟» وَطَرَدُوهُ خارِجاً. العَمَى الرُّوحِيّ

35 J esus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?

وَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ أنَّهُمْ طَرَدُوا الرَّجُلَ، فَوَجَدَهُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «أتُؤْمِنُ بابْنِ الإنسانِ؟»

36 H e answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

فَأجابَهُ الرَّجُلُ: «مَنْ هُوَ يا سَيِّدُ لِكَيْ أُومِنَ بِهِ؟»

37 A nd Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

قالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَقَدْ رَأيْتَهُ بِالفِعلِ، فَهُوَ الَّذِي تُكَلِّمُهُ الآنَ.»

38 A nd he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

فَقالَ الرَّجُلُ: «أُومِنُ يا سَيِّدُ.» وَسَجَدَ لَهُ.

39 A nd Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.

وَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «لَقَدْ جِئْتُ إلَى هَذا العالَمِ لِلقَضاءِ. جِئْتُ لِكَيْ يَرَى الَّذِيْنَ لا يَرَوْنَ، وَيَعْمَى الَّذِيْنَ يَرَوْنَ.»

40 A nd of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?

فَسَمِعَهُ بَعْضُ الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ كانُوا مَعْهُ، فَقالُوا لَهُ: «أيَعْنِي هَذا أنَّنا نَحْنُ أيضاً عُمْيانٌ؟»

41 J esus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.

قالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كُنْتُمْ عُمْياناً لَما كُنْتُمْ مُذْنِبِيْنَ، لَكِنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ: ‹إنَّنا مُبْصِرُونَ.› لِهَذا فَإنَّ ذَنْبَ خَطاياكُمْ باقٍ عَلَيْكُمْ.»
