يوحنَّا 9

١ 1 وَفِيمَا هُوَ مُجْتَازٌ رَأَى إِنْسَانًا أَعْمَى مُنْذُ وِلَادَتِهِ،

Passing by, Jesus saw a man who was blind from birth.

٢ 2 فَسَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَنْ أَخْطَأَ: هَذَا أَمْ أَبَوَاهُ حَتَّى وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟».

His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

٣ 3 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «لَا هَذَا أَخْطَأَ وَلَا أَبَوَاهُ، لَكِنْ لِتَظْهَرَ أَعْمَالُ ٱللهِ فِيهِ.

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that God’s works might be revealed in this man.

٤ 4 يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ أَعْمَالَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي مَا دَامَ نَهَارٌ. يَأْتِي لَيْلٌ حِينَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ.

We must work the works of Him who sent me, as long as it’s day. Night is coming, when nobody can work.

٥ 5 مَا دُمْتُ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ فَأَنَا نُورُ ٱلْعَالَمِ».

As long as I am in the world, I am the world’s light.”

٦ 6 قَالَ هَذَا وَتَفَلَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَصَنَعَ مِنَ ٱلتُّفْلِ طِينًا وَطَلَى بِٱلطِّينِ عَيْنَيِ ٱلْأَعْمَى.

After Jesus said this, He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, put it on the blind man’s eyes,

٧ 7 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱغْتَسِلْ فِي بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ» ٱلَّذِي تَفْسِيرُهُ: مُرْسَلٌ، فَمَضَى وَٱغْتَسَلَ وَأَتَى بَصِيرًا.

and told him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.

٨ 8 فَٱلْجِيرَانُ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ قَبْلًا أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى، قَالُوا: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَجْلِسُ وَيَسْتَعْطِي؟».

Then the neighbors and those who used to see him as a beggar began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

٩ 9 آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا هُوَ». وَآخَرُونَ: «إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُهُ». وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ».

Some were saying, “Yes, it is he,” others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I’m the one.”

١٠ 10 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «كَيْفَ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَاكَ؟».

So they asked him, “How were your eyes opened?”

١١ 11 أَجَابَ ذَاكَ وقَالَ: «إِنْسَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَسُوعُ صَنَعَ طِينًا وَطَلَى عَيْنَيَّ، وَقَالَ لِي: ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ وَٱغْتَسِلْ. فَمَضَيْتُ وَٱغْتَسَلْتُ فَأَبْصَرْتُ».

He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, put it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam, and wash’; so I went and washed, and I received sight.”

١٢ 12 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟». قَالَ: «لَا أَعْلَمُ».

“Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said.

١٣ 13 فَأَتَوْا إِلَى ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ بِٱلَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلًا أَعْمَى.

They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees.

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ سَبْتٌ حِينَ صَنَعَ يَسُوعُ ٱلطِّينَ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened the man’s eyes.

١٥ 15 فَسَأَلَهُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ أَيْضًا كَيْفَ أَبْصَرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَضَعَ طِينًا عَلَى عَيْنَيَّ وَٱغْتَسَلْتُ، فَأَنَا أُبْصِرُ».

So the Pharisees were also asking him how he received his sight. He told them, “He applied mud to my eyes, I washed, and I see.”

١٦ 16 فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ: «هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَحْفَظُ ٱلسَّبْتَ». آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ إِنْسَانٌ خَاطِئٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَاتِ؟». وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمُ ٱنْشِقَاقٌ.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man isn’t from God, because He doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a sinner do such signs?” So there was a division among them.

١٧ 17 قَالُوا أَيْضًا لِلْأَعْمَى: «مَاذَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ عَنْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّهُ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟». فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ!».

So they turned again to the blind man and asked, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”

١٨ 18 فَلَمْ يُصَدِّقِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى فَأَبْصَرَ حَتَّى دَعَوْا أَبَوَيِ ٱلَّذِي أَبْصَرَ.

The Jews didn’t believe that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the one who had received his sight,

١٩ 19 فَسَأَلُوهُمَا قَائِلِينَ: «أَهَذَا ٱبْنُكُمَا ٱلَّذِي تَقُولَانِ إِنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟ فَكَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ ٱلْآنَ؟».

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

٢٠ 20 أَجَابَهُمْ أَبَوَاهُ وَقَالَا: «نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا ٱبْنُنَا، وَأَنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى.

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

٢١ 21 وَأَمَّا كَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ ٱلْآنَ فَلَا نَعْلَمُ. أَوْ مَنْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَلَا نَعْلَمُ. هُوَ كَامِلُ ٱلسِّنِّ. ٱسْأَلُوهُ فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ».

but how he now sees, we don’t know. Who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age. He will speak for himself.”

٢٢ 22 قَالَ أَبَوَاهُ هَذَا لِأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَخَافَانِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ كَانُوا قَدْ تَعَاهَدُوا أَنَّهُ إِنِ ٱعْتَرَفَ أَحَدٌ بِأَنَّهُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يُخْرَجُ مِنَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess that Jesus was the Christ, they would be put out of the synagogue.

٢٣ 23 لِذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبَوَاهُ: «إِنَّهُ كَامِلُ ٱلسِّنِّ، ٱسْأَلُوهُ».

For this reason, his parents said, “Ask him. He is of age.”

٢٤ 24 فَدَعَوْا ثَانِيَةً ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَعْطِ مَجْدًا لِلهِ. نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ خَاطِئٌ».

So they called the man who had been blind a second time, and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

٢٥ 25 فَأَجَابَ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «أَخَاطِئٌ هُوَ؟ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ. إِنَّمَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا: أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَعْمَى وَٱلْآنَ أُبْصِرُ».

He answered, “Whether He is a sinner or not I don’t know. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

٢٦ 26 فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَيْضًا: «مَاذَا صَنَعَ بِكَ؟ كَيْفَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟».

Then they asked him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

٢٧ 27 أَجَابَهُمْ: «قَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا. لِمَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا أَيْضًا؟ أَلَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَصِيرُوا لَهُ تَلَامِيذَ؟».

He answered, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples, too, do you?”

٢٨ 28 فَشَتَمُوهُ وَقَالُوا: «أَنْتَ تِلْمِيذُ ذَاكَ، وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَإِنَّنَا تَلَامِيذُ مُوسَى.

Then they became abusive towards him and said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

٢٩ 29 نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مُوسَى كَلَّمَهُ ٱللهُ، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَمَا نَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ».

We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we don’t know where He is from.”

٣٠ 30 أَجَابَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّ فِي هَذَا عَجَبًا! إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وَقَدْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيَّ.

The man answered, “How amazing! You don’t know where He comes from, yet He opened my eyes.

٣١ 31 وَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَسْمَعُ لِلْخُطَاةِ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَتَّقِي ٱللهَ وَيَفْعَلُ مَشِيئَتَهُ، فَلِهَذَا يَسْمَعُ.

We know that God doesn’t hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing, and does His will, He hears him.

٣٢ 32 مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يُسْمَعْ أَنَّ أَحَدًا فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْ مَوْلُودٍ أَعْمَى. (aiōn g165)

Since the beginning of time it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. (aiōn g165)

٣٣ 33 لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هَذَا مِنَ ٱللهِ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا».

If this man weren’t from God, He could do nothing.”

٣٤ 34 أجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «فِي ٱلْخَطَايَا وُلِدْتَ أَنْتَ بِجُمْلَتِكَ، وَأَنْتَ تُعَلِّمُنَا!». فَأَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجًا.

To this they replied, “Who are you to teach us? You were born entirely in sin!” Then they threw him out.

٣٥ 35 فَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُمْ أَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجًا، فَوَجَدَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَتُؤْمِنُ بِٱبْنِ ٱللهِ؟».

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

٣٦ 36 أَجَابَ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ هُوَ يَا سَيِّدُ لِأُومِنَ بِهِ؟».

He answered, “Who is He, sir, that I may believe in Him?”

٣٧ 37 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ، وَٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَكَ هُوَ هُوَ!».

Jesus told him, “You have seen Him, and it is He who is talking with you.”

٣٨ 38 فَقَالَ: «أُومِنُ يَا سَيِّدُ!». وَسَجَدَ لَهُ.

Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshipped Jesus.

٣٩ 39 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «لِدَيْنُونَةٍ أَتَيْتُ أَنَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ، حَتَّى يُبْصِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ وَيَعْمَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْصِرُونَ».

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who don’t see may see, and those who do see may become blind.”

٤٠ 40 فَسَمِعَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَلَعَلَّنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا عُمْيَانٌ؟».

Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and asked Him, “We aren’t blind too, are we?”

٤١ 41 قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كُنْتُمْ عُمْيَانًا لَمَا كَانَتْ لَكُمْ خَطِيَّةٌ. وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّنَا نُبْصِرُ، فَخَطِيَّتُكُمْ بَاقِيَةٌ.

Jesus told them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
