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

Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from 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 was 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 this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.

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

I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.

5 أ نا النُّورُ لِلعالَمِ مادُمْتُ فِي العالَمِ.»

As long as 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 said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

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

And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

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

Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who 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.»

Some said, “This is he.” Others said, “He is like him.” He said, “I am he. ”

10 ح ِيْنَئِذٍ قالُوا لَهُ: «فَكَيْفَ أبْصَرْتَ؟»

Therefore they said to him, “How were your 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 and said, “A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.”

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

Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.” The Pharisees Excommunicate the Healed Man

13 ف َأخَذُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كانَ أعمَى إلَى الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ.

They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.

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

Now it was a Sabbath 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.»

Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put clay on my 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.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a 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 said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

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

But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.

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

And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

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

His parents answered them 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 by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will 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.

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

23 ل ِذَلِكَ قالا: «هُوَ رَجُلٌ بالِغٌ فَاسْألُوهُ!»

Therefore his parents said, “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 again called the man who was blind, and said to him, “Give God the glory! 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 answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

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

Then they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your 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 already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”

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

Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

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

We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from.”

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

The man answered and said to them, “Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!

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

Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.

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

Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was 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 to him, “You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they cast him out. True Vision and True Blindness

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

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

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

He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

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

And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.”

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

Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped 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 I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”

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

Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”

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

Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
