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

As Jesus went on His way, He saw a man who had been born blind.

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

His followers asked Him, “Teacher, whose sin made this man to be born blind? Was it the sin of this man or the sin of his parents?”

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

Jesus answered, “The sin of this man or the sin of his parents did not make him to be born blind. He was born blind so the work of God would be seen in him.

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

We must keep on doing the work of Him Who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no man can work.

5 أ نا النُّورُ لِلعالَمِ مادُمْتُ فِي العالَمِ.»

While 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

After Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground. He mixed it with dust and put that mud on the eyes of the blind man.

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

Then Jesus said to him, “Go and wash in the pool of Siloam.” (Siloam means Sent.) The man went away and washed. When he came back, he could see.

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

Neighbors and others had seen him begging. They said, “Is not this the man 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 the one.” Others said, “No, but he looks like him.” But the man who had been blind said, “I am the man.”

10 ح ِيْنَئِذٍ قالُوا لَهُ: «فَكَيْفَ أبْصَرْتَ؟»

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, “A Man called Jesus made mud and put it on my eyes. Then He said to me, ‘Go and wash in the pool of Siloam.’ I went and washed and I can see.”

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

Then they asked him, “Where is He?” He answered, “I do not know.” The Proud Religious Law-Keepers Are Troubled about This Healing

13 ف َأخَذُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كانَ أعمَى إلَى الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ.

They took the man who had been born blind to the proud religious law-keepers.

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

It was the Day of Rest when Jesus had made mud 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 the proud religious law-keepers asked the man who had been born blind how he had been made to see. He answered them, “Jesus put mud on my eyes. I washed and now 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 of the proud religious law-keepers said, “The Man Who did this is not from God because He worked on the Day of Rest.” Others said, “How can a sinful man do powerful works?” They could not agree about Jesus.

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

They spoke again to the blind man, saying, “What do you say about Him since He opened your eyes?” He answered, “He is One Who speaks for God.”

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

The Jews did not believe this man had been blind and had been made to see. They called his parents

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

and asked them, “Is this your son? Do you say he was born blind? How does he see now?”

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

They answered, “We know this is our son and we know 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 we do not know how it is that he can see now. We do not know who opened his eyes. He is old enough, ask him. He can tell you 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 this because they were afraid of the Jews. The Jews had talked among themselves. They had agreed that the person who said that Jesus was the Christ would be put out of the Jewish place of worship.

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

That is why his parents said, “He is old enough, ask him.”

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

The proud religious law-keepers asked the man again, who had been blind, to come. They said to him, “Give thanks to God. We know this man is a sinner.”

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

The man who had been blind said to them, “I do not know if He is a sinner or not. One thing I know. I was blind, but now I can see.”

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

They asked 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, “I have told you already. You did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become His followers also?”

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

The proud religious law-keepers became angry at him and said, “You are a follower of Jesus. We are followers of Moses.

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

We know God spoke to Moses. We do not know where this Man is from.”

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

The man said to them, “This is strange! You do not know where He came from and yet He opened my eyes.

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

We know that God does not listen to sinners. We know if anyone loves and worships God, and does what He wants, God listens to him.

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

From the beginning of the world no one has ever heard of anyone opening 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 would not be able to do anything like this.”

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

They said to him, “You were born in sin. Are you trying to teach us?” Then they put him out of the place of worship. Jesus Speaks Sharp Words to the Proud Religious Law-Keepers

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

Jesus heard that the proud religious law-keepers had put the man who had been healed out of the place of worship. He found the man and said to him, “Do you put your trust in the Son of God?”

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

He said, “Who is He, Sir? Tell me so that I can put my trust in Him.”

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

Jesus said to him, “You have seen Him. He is talking with you.”

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

He said, “I do put my trust in You, Lord.” Then he bowed down before Jesus and worshiped Him.

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

Jesus said, “I came into this world to say what is right from wrong. I came so those who do not see might see, and those who do see might be made blind.”

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

Some of the proud religious law-keepers who were with Him heard this. They 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 not be guilty of sin. But because you say, ‘We see,’ you still are guilty of your sin.
