يوحنَّا 9

١ 1 وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ مَارّاً، رَأَى رَجُلاً أَعْمَى مُنْذُ وِلادَتِهِ،

Now as He was passing by He saw a man blind from birth.

٢ 2 فَسَأَلَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَنْ أَخْطَأَ: هَذَا أَمْ وَالِدَاهُ، حَتَّى وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟»

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

٣ 3 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لا هُوَ أَخْطَأَ وَلا وَالِدَاهُ، وَلكِنْ حَتَّى تَظْهَرَ فِيهِ أَعْمَالُ اللهِ.

Jesus answered: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

٤ 4 فَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ أَعْمَالَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي مَادَامَ الْوَقْتُ نَهَاراً. فَسَيَأْتِي اللَّيْلُ، وَلا أَحَدَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ فِيهِ.

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

٥ 5 وَمَادُمْتُ فِي الْعَالَمِ، فَأَنَا نُورُ الْعَالَمِ».

While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”

٦ 6 قَالَ هَذَا، وَتَفَلَ فِي التُّرَابِ، وَجَبَلَ مِنَ التُّفْلِ طِيناً، ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ عَلَى عَيْنَيِ الأَعْمَى،

Upon saying these things He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud on the blind man's eyes.

٧ 7 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اذْهَبِ اغْتَسِلْ فِي بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ»، أَيِ الْمُرسَلِ. فَذَهَبَ وَاغْتَسَلَ وَعَادَ بَصِيراً.

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

٨ 8 فَتَسَاءَلَ الْجِيرَانُ وَالَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ يَسْتَعْطِي: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ نَفْسَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَجْلِسُ لِيَسْتَعْطِيَ؟»

Then the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind started saying, “Isn't this the man who sat begging?”

٩ 9 قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: «هَذَا هُوَ». وَآخَرُونَ: «لا، وَلكِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُهُ!» أَمَّا هُوَ فَرَدَّ قَائِلاً: «بَلْ أَنَا هُوَ!»

Others said, “This is he”; still others, “He is like him.” He kept saying, “I'm the one!”

١٠ 10 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «وَكَيْفَ انْفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَاكَ؟»

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

١١ 11 أَجَابَ: «الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ يَسُوعُ جَبَلَ طِيناً دَهَنَ بِهِ عَيْنَيَّ، وَقَالَ لِيَ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ وَاغْتَسِلْ فِيهَا. فَذَهَبْتُ وَاغْتَسَلْتُ فَأَبْصَرْتُ!»

He answered and said: “A man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So when I went and washed, I saw!”

١٢ 12 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «وَأَيْنَ هُوَ الآنَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لا أَعْرِفُ!»

Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He says, “I don't know.”

١٣ 13 فَذَهَبُوا بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى إِلَى الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ.

They bring the man who was formerly blind to the Pharisees.

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي جَبَلَ فِيهِ يَسُوعُ الطِّينَ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيِ الأَعْمَى، يَوْمَ سَبْتٍ.

(Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.)

١٥ 15 فَسَأَلَهُ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ أَيْضاً كَيْفَ أَبْصَرَ. فَأَجَابَ: «وضَعَ طِيناً عَلَى عَيْنَيَّ، وَاغْتَسَلْتُ، وَهَا أَنَا أُبْصِرُ!»

So once again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. So he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

١٦ 16 فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ: «لا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ مِنَ اللهِ، لأَنَّهُ يُخَالِفُ سُنَّةَ السَّبْتِ». وَلكِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ قَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ رَجُلٌ خَاطِئٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الآيَاتِ؟» فَوَقَعَ الْخِلافُ بَيْنَهُمْ.

Then some of the Pharisees said, “This man cannot be from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath,” Others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them.

١٧ 17 وَعَادُوا يَسْأَلُونَ الَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى: «وَمَا رَأْيُكَ أَنْتَ فِيهِ مَادَامَ قَدْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «إِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ!»

So they address the blind man again, “What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

١٨ 18 وَرَفَضَ الْيَهُودُ أَنْ يُصَدِّقُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى فَأَبْصَرَ، فَاسْتَدْعَوْا وَالِدَيْهِ

However the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had received sight.

١٩ 19 وَسَأَلُوهُمَا: «أَهَذَا ابْنُكُمَا الْمَوْلُودُ أَعْمَى كَمَا تَقُولانِ؟ فَكَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ الآنَ؟»

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

٢٠ 20 أَجَابَهُمُ الْوَالِدَانِ: «نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا ابْنُنَا وَأَنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى.

So his parents answered them and said: “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

٢١ 21 وَلكِنَّنَا لَا نَعْلَمُ كَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ الآنَ، وَلا مَنْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ. إِنَّهُ كَامِلُ السِّنِّ، يُجِيبُكُمْ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، فَاسْأَلُوهُ!»

but by what means he now sees we don't know, or who opened his eyes we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

٢٢ 22 وَقَدْ قَالَ وَالِدَاهُ هَذَا لِخَوْفِهِمَا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، لأَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانُوا قَدِ اتَّفَقُوا أَنْ يَطْرُدُوا مِنَ الْمَجْمَعِ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ.

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, because the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ he would be barred from the synagogue.

٢٣ 23 لِذلِكَ قَالا: «إِنَّهُ كَامِلُ السِّنِّ فَاسْأَلُوهُ».

That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

٢٤ 24 ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ، الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «مَجِّدِ اللهَ! نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ خَاطِئٌ».

So they summoned the man who had been blind a second time and said to him: “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

٢٥ 25 فَأَجَابَ: «أَخَاطِئٌ هُوَ، لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ! إِنَّمَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئاً وَاحِداً: أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَعْمَى وَالآنَ أُبْصِرُ!»

So he answered and said: “That He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know, that having been blind I now see!”

٢٦ 26 فَسَأَلُوهُ ثَانِيَةً: «مَاذَا فَعَلَ بِكَ؟ كَيْفَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟»

So they said to him again: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

٢٧ 27 أَجَابَهُمْ: «قَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي، فَلِمَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً؟ أَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً أَنْ تَصِيرُوا تَلامِيذَ لَهُ؟»

He answered them: “I already told you 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 لَهُ: «بَلْ أَنْتَ تِلْمِيذُهُ! أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَتَلامِيذُ مُوسَى.

They reviled him and said: “You are that fellow's disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.

٢٩ 29 نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مُوسَى كَلَّمَهُ اللهُ؛ أَمَّا هَذَا، فَلا نَعْلَمُ لَهُ أَصْلاً!»

We know that God spoke to Moses; but this fellow—we don't know where he's from.”

٣٠ 30 فَأَجَابَهُمُ الرَّجُلُ: «إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ عَجَباً! إِنَّهُ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيَّ، وَتَقُولُونَ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ لَهُ أَصْلاً!

The man answered and said to them: “Why, this is remarkable—you don't know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!

٣١ 31 نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لِلْخَاطِئِينَ، وَلكِنَّهُ يَسْتَمِعُ لِمَنْ يَتَّقِيهِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِإِرَادَتِهِ،

Now we know that God doesn't listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, to him He listens.

٣٢ 32 وَلَمْ يُسْمَعْ عَلَى مَدَى الأَجْيَالِ أَنَّ أَحَداً فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْ مَوْلُودٍ أَعْمَى! (aiōn g165)

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

٣٣ 33 فَلَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُوَ مِنَ اللهِ، لَمَا اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ شَيْئاً».

If this man were not from God he would not be able to do anything.”

٣٤ 34 فَصَاحُوا بِهِ: «أَنْتَ بِكَامِلِكَ وُلِدْتَ فِي الْخَطِيئَةِ وَتُعَلِّمُنَا!» ثُمَّ طَرَدُوهُ خَارِجَ الْمَجْمَعِ.

They answered and said to him, “You were totally born in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they expelled him.

٣٥ 35 وَعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ بِطَرْدِهِ خَارِجاً، فَقَصَدَ إِلَيْهِ وَسَأَلَهُ: «أَتُؤْمِنُ بِابْنِ اللهِ؟»

Jesus heard that they had expelled him, and finding him He said to him, “Do you believe into the Son of God?”

٣٦ 36 أَجَابَ: «مَنْ هُوَ يَا سَيِّدُ حَتَّى أُومِنَ بِهِ؟»

He answered and said, “And who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?”

٣٧ 37 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الَّذِي قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ، وَالَّذِي يُكَلِّمُكَ، هُوَ نَفْسُهُ!»

So Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and He is the One who is speaking with you.”

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

So he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.

٣٩ 39 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «لِدَيْنُونَةٍ أَتَيْتُ إِلَى هَذَا الْعَالَمِ: لِيُبْصِرَ الْعُمْيَانُ، وَيَعْمَى الْمُبْصِرُونَ!»

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

٤٠ 40 فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلُوهُ: «وَهَلْ نَحْنُ أَيْضاً عُمْيَانٌ؟»

And some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words and said to Him, “We aren't blind too, are we?”

٤١ 41 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كُنْتُمْ عُمْيَاناً بِالْفِعْلِ، لَمَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ خَطِيئَةٌ. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ تَدَّعُونَ أَنَّكُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ، وَلِذلِكَ فَإِنَّ خَطِيئَتَكُمْ بَاقِيَةٌ».

Jesus said to them: “If you were ‘blind’ you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see,’ so your sin remains.
