يوحنَّا 9

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

As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

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

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

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

Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.

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

I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The 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،

When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

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

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

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

Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

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

Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”

١٠ 10 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «وَكَيْفَ انْفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَاكَ؟»

They therefore were asking 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, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

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

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

١٣ 13 فَذَهَبُوا بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى إِلَى الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ.

They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

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

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!»

Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, 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.

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.

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

Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

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

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

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

and asked them, “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.

His parents answered them, “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 how 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; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

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

Therefore 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 called the man who was 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!»

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

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

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 told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”

٢٨ 28 فَشَتَمُوهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «بَلْ أَنْتَ تِلْمِيذُهُ! أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَتَلامِيذُ مُوسَى.

They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

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

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

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

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

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

Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone 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 could do nothing.”

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

They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.

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

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

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

He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

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

Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

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

He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

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

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

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

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”

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 have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
