< 约翰福音 9 >
1 耶稣在路上行走的时候,看见一个与生俱来的盲人。
And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 门徒问他:“拉比,为什么这人生下来就看不到?是他犯了什么罪吗,还是他的父母?”
And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?
3 耶稣回答:“不是他或他的父母犯了罪,而是要在他身上显示上帝的能力。
Jesus answered, Neither this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God might be manifested in him.
4 在白天的时候,我们要做好自己的工作,这是派我前来此处之人让我做的。黑夜一到,就没有人能工作了。
I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no man can work.
When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 说了这话,耶稣在地上吐了一口唾沫,将唾沫和泥混在一起,抹在瞎子的眼睛上,
Having said these things, he spat toward the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man.
7 然后对他说:“去西罗亚池洗一洗吧。”(西罗亚意为“派你去。”)。那人走开了,在水池中洗了洗,就看见了。
And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, He who has been sent). Therefore he went and washed, and came seeing.
8 他的邻居和其他知道他是个乞丐的人说:“这不是那个曾坐着讨饭的人吗?”
The neighbors therefore and those who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is this not he who sits and begs?
9 有人说是他。其他人则说:“不是他,只是有点像而已。”但这个男人不断地说:“就是我!”
Others said, He is this man, but others said, He is like him. That man said, I am.
They said to him therefore, How were thine eyes opened?
11 他回答:“一个叫耶稣的人和了一点泥,抹在我的眼上,对我说:‘去西罗亚池洗一洗吧。’我就去洗了洗,然后就看见了。”
That man answered and said, A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed on my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. And after going and washing, I received sight.
12 众人问:“他在哪儿呢?” 他说:“我不知道。”
Therefore they said to him, Where is that man? He says, I do not know.
They brought him to the Pharisees-the former blind man.
Now it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 法利赛人又问他是怎样看到的。他回答:“耶稣把泥抹在我的眼上,我洗了洗就看见了。”
Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received sight. And he said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
16 有几个法利赛人说:“做这件事的人不会来自上帝,因为他不守安息日的规矩。”但也有人质疑:“一个罪人怎能显化这样的神迹呢?”众人分成了两派意见。
Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath. Other men said, How is a sinful man able to do such signs? And there was division among them.
17 他们又对那重见光明的男人说:“既然他让你的眼睛能看到,你认为他是什么人?” 他说:“他肯定是个先知。”
They say again to the blind man, What do thou say about him, that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18 犹太人的首领们仍拒绝相信他曾经是个盲人,只是现在才能看见,于是就把他的父母叫来,
The Jews therefore did not believe about him, that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received sight.
19 他们问到:“这就是你们说生下来就看不见的儿子吗?现在他怎么又能看见呢?”
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?
20 他的父母回答:“我们知道这就是我们的儿子,生下来就看不见。
And his parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,
21 现在他为什么又能看到了,谁治好了他的眼睛,我们也不明白为什么。干嘛不问问他呢,他已经长大成人,可以表达自己的想法了。”
but how he now sees, we know not. Or who opened his eyes, we know not. He has maturity, ask him. He will speak for himself.
22 他父母这样说,只是因为害怕犹太人首领。这些犹太人首领早就宣布,谁说耶稣就是基督,就会被赶出会堂。
His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him as Christ, he should become excommunicated from the synagogue.
23 所以他的父母才说:“他已经长大成人,你们问他吧。”
Because of this his parents said, He has maturity, ask him.
24 于是法利赛人再次把这位曾经的盲人叫来,对他说:“荣耀应该归于上帝!我们知道这人是个罪人。”
So they called the man who was blind, for a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is sinful.
25 那人回答:“他是不是罪人,我不知道。我只知道一件事:我本来看不到,现在能看见了。”
That man therefore answered and said, If he is sinful, I know not. One thing I know, that being blind, now I see.
26 他们又问:“他向你做了什么呢?怎么治好你的眼睛的?”
But again they said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?
27 他回答:“我已经告诉你们了,你们没听到吗?现在怎么又想听了?你们也想成为他的门徒吗?”
He answered them, I told you already, and ye did not listen. Why do ye want to hear it again? Do ye not also want to become his disciples?
28 他们开始斥责他,说:“你才是他的门徒,我们是摩西的门徒。
They reviled him, and said, Thou are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 我们知道上帝曾对摩西说过什么。但这个人,我们甚至不知道他从何而来。”
We know that God has spoken to Moses, but this man, we know not where he is from.
30 那人答道:“真不可思议,他治好了我的眼睛,你们竟然不知道他从何而来。
The man answered and said to them, For in this it is amazing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes.
31 我们都知道,上帝从不听罪人的祈求,只听那敬畏上帝、遵行他旨意的人。
And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man.
32 自古以来,从来就没听过有人生来就看不到,但有人可以让他们重见光明。 (aiōn )
From the age, it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. (aiōn )
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
34 犹太人说:“你生下来就是个彻底的罪人,居然来教训我们!”就把他赶出会堂。
They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us? And they cast him outside.
35 耶稣听说他们把他赶了出来,于是就去找到这个男人,问他:“你相信人子吗?”
Jesus heard that they cast him outside. And having found him, he said to him, Do thou believe in the Son of God?
36 那男人说:“先生,告诉我他是谁,我会全信他。”
That man answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
37 耶稣说:“你已经见过他了,他此刻正在和你说话。”
And Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen him, and he is that man who speaks with thee.
38 那人说:“主啊,我相信你。”于是向耶稣跪拜。
And he affirmed, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.
39 耶稣对他说:“我到这世上就是为了带来评判,让盲人重见光明,让看得到的人成为盲人。”
And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, so that those not seeing might see, and those who see might become blind.
40 耶稣身边的几名法利赛人听了这话,就说:“难道我们也看不到吗?”
And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we also blind?
41 耶稣回答:“如果你们看不到,就没有罪了,但现在你们说自己能看见,所以你们仍然有罪。”
Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin, but now ye say, We see, therefore your sin remains.
