1 ¶ And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth.

И когато заминаваше, видя един сляпороден човек.

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

И учениците Му Го попитаха казвайки: Учителю, поради чий грях, негов ли, или на родителите му, той се е родил сляп?

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

Исус отговори: Нито поради негов грях, нито на родителите му, но за да се явят в него Божиите дела.

4 I t is expedient that I do the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night comes, when no one can work.

Ние трябва до вършим делата на Този, Който Ме е пратил, докле е ден; иде нощ, когато никой не може да работи.

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

Когато съм в света, светлина съм на света.

6 W hen he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay

Като рече това, плюна на земята, направи кал с плюнката и намаза с калта очите му;

7 a nd said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). Then he went and washed and came back seeing.

и рече му: Иди, омий се в къпалнята Силоам (което значи Пратен). И тъй, той отиде, оми се, и дойде прогледнал.

8 ¶ The neighbours, therefore, and those who before had seen him that he was blind said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

А съседите и ония, които бяха виждали по-преди, че беше просяк, казваха: Не е ли е този, който седеше и просеше?

9 S ome said, This is he; others said, He is like him; but he said, I am he.

Едни казваха: Той е; други казваха: Не, а прилича на него. Той каза: Аз съм.

10 T hen they said unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

Затова му рекоха: Тогава как ти се отвориха очите?

11 H e answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and I went and washed, and I received sight.

Той отговори: Човекът който се нарича Исус, направи кал, намаза очите ми, и рече ми: Иди на Силоам и омий се. И тъй отидох, и като се омих прогледах.

12 T hen said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

Тогава му рекоха: Где е Той? Казва: Не зная.

13 ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that beforehand had been blind.

Завеждат при фарисеите някогашния слепец.

14 A nd it was the sabbath day when Jesus had made the clay and had opened his eyes.

А беше събота, когато Исус направи калта и му отвори очите.

15 T hen again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed and do see.

И тъй, пак го питаха и фарисеите как е прогледал. И той им рече: Кал тури на очите ми, омих се и гледам.

16 T herefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God because he does not keep the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

Затова някои от фарисеите казваха: Този човек не е от Бога, защото не пази съботата. А други казваха: Как може грешен човек да върши такива знамения? И възникна раздор по между им.

17 T hey said unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that has opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

Казват пак на слепеца: Ти що казваш за Него, като ти е отворил очите? И той рече: Пророк е.

18 B ut the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received his sight until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

Но юдеите не вярваха, че той е бил сляп и прогледал, докато не повикаха родителите на прогледалия,

19 A nd they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then does he now see?

та ги попитаха казвайки: Тоя ли е вашият син, за когото казвате, че се е родил сляп? А сега как вижда?

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

Родителите в отговор казаха: Знаем, че този е нашият син, и че се роди сляп;

21 b ut by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not; he is of age, ask him; he shall speak for himself.

а как сега вижда, не знаем; или кой му е отворил очите, не знаем; него питайте, той е на възраст, сам нека говори за себе си.

22 T hese words spoke his parents because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone did confess that he was the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

Това казаха родителите му, защото се бояха от юдеите; понеже юдеите се бяха вече споразумели помежду си да отлъчат от синагогата онзи, който би Го изповядал, че е Христос.

23 T herefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him.

По тая причина родителите му, рекоха: Той е на възраст, него питайте.

24 T hen they called again the man that had been blind and said unto him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

И тъй, повикаха втори път човека, който беше сляп, и му рекоха: Въздай слава на Бога; ние знаем, че този човек е грешник.

25 H e answered and said, Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that having been blind, now I see.

А той отговори: Дали е грешник, не зная; едно зная, че бях сляп, а сега виждам.

26 T hen said they to him again, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?

Затова му казаха: Какво ти направи? Как ти отвори очите?

27 H e answered them, I have told you already, and ye have heard; what more would ye hear? Do ye also desire to be his disciples?

Отговори им: Казах ви ей сега, и не чухте; защо искате пак да чуете? Да не би и вие да искате да Му станете ученици?

28 T hen they reviled him and said, Be thou his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

Тогава те го изругаха, казвайки: Ти си Негов ученик; а ние сме Моисееви ученици.

29 W e know that God spoke unto Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where he is from.

Ние знаем, че на Моисея Бог е говорил, а Този не знаем откъде е.

30 T he man answered and said unto them, Indeed this is a marvellous thing that ye do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.

Човекът в отговор им каза: Това е чудно, че вие не знаете откъде е, но пак ми отвори очите.

31 N ow we know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone should fear God and do his will, him he will hear.

Знаем, че Бог не слуша грешници; но ако някой е благочестив и върши Божията воля, него слуша.

32 S ince the world began it has not been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

А пък от века не се е чуло да е отворил някой очи на сляпороден човек.

33 I f this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

Ако не беше Този Човек от Бога, не би могъл нищо да стори.

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

Те в отговор му казаха: Ти цял в грехове си роден, и нас ли учиш? И го изпъдиха вън Или: отлъчиха го.>.

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

Чу Исус, че го изпъдили вън, и, като го намери, рече: Ти вярваш ли в Божия Син?

36 H e answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him?

Той в отговор рече: А Кой е Той, Господи, за да вярвам в Него?

37 A nd Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talks with thee.

Исус му рече: И видял си Го, и Който говори с тебе, Той е.

38 A nd he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

А той рече: Вярвам Господи; и поклони Му се.

39 ¶ And Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see might see and that those who see might be blinded.

И Исус рече: За съдба дойдох Аз на тоя свят, за да виждат невиждащите, а виждащите да ослепеят.

40 A nd some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words and said unto him, Are we blind also?

Ония от фарисеите, които бяха с Него, като чуха това, рекоха Му: Да не сме и ние слепи?

41 J esus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now because ye say, We see, therefore your sin abides.

Исус им рече: Ако бяхте слепи, не бихте имали грях, но по эяяя ГЛАВА 10
