1 و َبَيْنَما كانَ يَسُوعُ ماشِياً، رَأى رَجُلاً أعمَى مُنْذُ مَولِدِهِ.

And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

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

And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?

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

Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

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

We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

5 أ نا النُّورُ لِلعالَمِ مادُمْتُ فِي العالَمِ.»

When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 و َبَعْدَ أنْ قالَ هَذا بَصَقَ عَلَى التُّرابِ وَصَنَعَ مِنْهُ طِيْناً. ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الطِّيْنَ عَلَى عَيْنَيِّ الأعمَى

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

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

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

The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

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

Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

10 ح ِيْنَئِذٍ قالُوا لَهُ: «فَكَيْفَ أبْصَرْتَ؟»

They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

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

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

And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

13 ف َأخَذُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كانَ أعمَى إلَى الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ.

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

14 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ قَدْ صَنَعَ الطِّيْنَ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيِّ الرَّجُلِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.

Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

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

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 I see.

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

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 division among them.

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

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

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

and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

20 ف َأجابَ وَالِداهُ: «نَحْنُ نَعلَمُ أنَّ هَذا هُوَ ابْنُنا، وَأنَّهُ وُلِدَ أعمَى.

His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

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

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

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 ل ِذَلِكَ قالا: «هُوَ رَجُلٌ بالِغٌ فَاسْألُوهُ!»

Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

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

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

He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

26 ف َسَألُوهُ: «ماذا فَعَلَ بِكَ؟ كَيْفَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟»

They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?

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

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

And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

29 ن َحْنُ نَعلَمُ أنَّ اللهَ كَلَّمَ مُوسَى، لَكِنَّنا لا نَعلَمُ مِنْ أيْنَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ.»

We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

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

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

We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

32 و َلَمْ يَسْمَعْ أحَدٌ مِنْ قَبلُ أنَّ شَخْصاً أعطَى بَصَراً لإنْسانٍ وُلِدَ أعمَى.

Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

33 ف َلَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هَذا الرَّجُلُ مِنَ اللهِ، لَما أمكَنَهُ أنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً.»

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

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

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35 و َسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ أنَّهُمْ طَرَدُوا الرَّجُلَ، فَوَجَدَهُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «أتُؤْمِنُ بابْنِ الإنسانِ؟»

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 ف َأجابَهُ الرَّجُلُ: «مَنْ هُوَ يا سَيِّدُ لِكَيْ أُومِنَ بِهِ؟»

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

37 ق الَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَقَدْ رَأيْتَهُ بِالفِعلِ، فَهُوَ الَّذِي تُكَلِّمُهُ الآنَ.»

Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.

38 ف َقالَ الرَّجُلُ: «أُومِنُ يا سَيِّدُ.» وَسَجَدَ لَهُ.

And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

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

And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.

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

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?

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

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.
