1 A s He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.

وَبَيْنَما كانَ يَسُوعُ ماشِياً، رَأى رَجُلاً أعمَى مُنْذُ مَولِدِهِ.

2 A nd His disciples asked Him, “ Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”

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

3 J esus answered, “ It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

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

4 W e must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as 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 W hile I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”

أنا النُّورُ لِلعالَمِ مادُمْتُ فِي العالَمِ.»

6 W hen He had said this, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,

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

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

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

8 T herefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?”

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

9 O thers were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the one.”

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

10 S o they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?”

حِيْنَئِذٍ قالُوا لَهُ: «فَكَيْفَ أبْصَرْتَ؟»

11 H e answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

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

12 T hey said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.” Controversy over the Man

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

13 T hey brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind.

فَأخَذُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كانَ أعمَى إلَى الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ.

14 N ow it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

وَكانَ يَسُوعُ قَدْ صَنَعَ الطِّيْنَ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيِّ الرَّجُلِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.

15 T hen the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied clay to my 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 T herefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner 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 S o they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your 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 then did not believe it of him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight,

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

19 a nd questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

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

20 H is parents answered them 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 opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for 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 this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of 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 F or this reason his parents said, “ He is of age; ask him.”

لِذَلِكَ قالا: «هُوَ رَجُلٌ بالِغٌ فَاسْألُوهُ!»

24 S o a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “ Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.”

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

25 H e then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

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

26 S o they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

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

27 H e answered them, “ I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?”

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

28 T hey reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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

29 W e know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.”

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

30 T he man answered and said to them, “Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my 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 anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

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

32 S ince the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

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

33 I f this man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

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

34 T hey answered him, “ You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they put him out. Jesus Affirms His Deity

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

35 J esus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

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

36 H e answered, “ Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

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

37 J esus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.”

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

38 A nd he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped Him.

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

39 A nd Jesus said, “ For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.”

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

40 T hose of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, “ We are not blind too, are we?”

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

41 J esus said to them, “ If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you 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.»
