John 9
1 Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
tataH paraM yIzurgacchan mArgamadhyE janmAndhaM naram apazyat|
2 and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
tataH ziSyAstam apRcchan hE gurO narOyaM svapApEna vA svapitrAH pApEnAndhO'jAyata?
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.
tataH sa pratyuditavAn Etasya vAsya pitrOH pApAd EtAdRzObhUda iti nahi kintvanEna yathEzvarasya karmma prakAzyatE taddhEtOrEva|
4 While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
dinE tiSThati matprErayituH karmma mayA karttavyaM yadA kimapi karmma na kriyatE tAdRzI nizAgacchati|
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
ahaM yAvatkAlaM jagati tiSThAmi tAvatkAlaM jagatO jyOtiHsvarUpOsmi|
6 When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.
ityukttA bhUmau niSThIvaM nikSipya tEna pagkaM kRtavAn
7 Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.
pazcAt tatpagkEna tasyAndhasya nEtrE pralipya tamityAdizat gatvA zilOhE 'rthAt prEritanAmni sarasi snAhi| tatOndhO gatvA tatrAsnAt tataH prannacakSu rbhUtvA vyAghuTyAgAt|
8 At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
aparanjca samIpavAsinO lOkA yE ca taM pUrvvamandham apazyan tE bakttum Arabhanta yOndhalOkO vartmanyupavizyAbhikSata sa EvAyaM janaH kiM na bhavati?
9 Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
kEcidavadan sa Eva kEcidavOcan tAdRzO bhavati kintu sa svayamabravIt sa EvAhaM bhavAmi|
10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
ataEva tE 'pRcchan tvaM kathaM dRSTiM pAptavAn?
11 He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”
tataH sOvadad yIzanAmaka EkO janO mama nayanE pagkEna pralipya ityAjnjApayat zilOhakAsAraM gatvA tatra snAhi| tatastatra gatvA mayi snAtE dRSTimahaM labdhavAn|
12 “Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
tadA tE 'vadan sa pumAn kutra? tEnOkttaM nAhaM jAnAmi|
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
aparaM tasmin pUrvvAndhE janE phirUzinAM nikaTam AnItE sati phirUzinOpi tamapRcchan kathaM dRSTiM prAptOsi?
14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
tataH sa kathitavAn sa pagkEna mama nEtrE 'limpat pazcAd snAtvA dRSTimalabhE|
15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
kintu yIzu rvizrAmavArE karddamaM kRtvA tasya nayanE prasannE'karOd itikAraNAt katipayaphirUzinO'vadan
16 Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
sa pumAn IzvarAnna yataH sa vizrAmavAraM na manyatE| tatOnyE kEcit pratyavadan pApI pumAn kim EtAdRzam AzcaryyaM karmma karttuM zaknOti?
17 So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.
itthaM tESAM parasparaM bhinnavAkyatvam abhavat| pazcAt tE punarapi taM pUrvvAndhaM mAnuSam aprAkSuH yO janastava cakSuSI prasannE kRtavAn tasmin tvaM kiM vadasi? sa ukttavAn sa bhavizadvAdI|
18 The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
sa dRSTim AptavAn iti yihUdIyAstasya dRSTiM prAptasya janasya pitrO rmukhAd azrutvA na pratyayan|
19 and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
ataEva tE tAvapRcchan yuvayO ryaM putraM janmAndhaM vadathaH sa kimayaM? tarhIdAnIM kathaM draSTuM zaknOti?
20 His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
tatastasya pitarau pratyavOcatAm ayam AvayOH putra A janErandhazca tadapyAvAM jAnIvaH
21 But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”
kintvadhunA kathaM dRSTiM prAptavAn tadAvAM n jAnIvaH kOsya cakSuSI prasannE kRtavAn tadapi na jAnIva ESa vayaHprApta EnaM pRcchata svakathAM svayaM vakSyati|
22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
yihUdIyAnAM bhayAt tasya pitarau vAkyamidam avadatAM yataH kOpi manuSyO yadi yIzum abhiSiktaM vadati tarhi sa bhajanagRhAd dUrIkAriSyatE yihUdIyA iti mantraNAm akurvvan
23 That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
atastasya pitarau vyAharatAm ESa vayaHprApta EnaM pRcchata|
24 So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
tadA tE punazca taM pUrvvAndham AhUya vyAharan Izvarasya guNAn vada ESa manuSyaH pApIti vayaM jAnImaH|
25 He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”
tadA sa ukttavAn sa pApI na vEti nAhaM jAnE pUrvAmandha Asamaham adhunA pazyAmIti mAtraM jAnAmi|
26 “What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
tE punarapRcchan sa tvAM prati kimakarOt? kathaM nEtrE prasannE 'karOt?
27 He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
tataH sOvAdId EkakRtvOkathayaM yUyaM na zRNutha tarhi kutaH punaH zrOtum icchatha? yUyamapi kiM tasya ziSyA bhavitum icchatha?
28 Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
tadA tE taM tiraskRtya vyAharan tvaM tasya ziSyO vayaM mUsAH ziSyAH|
29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
mUsAvaktrENEzvarO jagAda tajjAnImaH kintvESa kutratyalOka iti na jAnImaH|
30 “That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
sOvadad ESa mama lOcanE prasannE 'karOt tathApi kutratyalOka iti yUyaM na jAnItha Etad AzcaryyaM bhavati|
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
IzvaraH pApinAM kathAM na zRNOti kintu yO janastasmin bhaktiM kRtvA tadiSTakriyAM karOti tasyaiva kathAM zRNOti Etad vayaM jAnImaH|
kOpi manuSyO janmAndhAya cakSuSI adadAt jagadArambhAd EtAdRzIM kathAM kOpi kadApi nAzRNOt| (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”
asmAd ESa manuSyO yadIzvarAnnAjAyata tarhi kinjcidapIdRzaM karmma karttuM nAzaknOt|
34 They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.
tE vyAharan tvaM pApAd ajAyathAH kimasmAn tvaM zikSayasi? pazcAttE taM bahirakurvvan|
35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
tadanantaraM yihUdIyaiH sa bahirakriyata yIzuriti vArttAM zrutvA taM sAkSAt prApya pRSTavAn Izvarasya putrE tvaM vizvasiSi?
36 “Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”
tadA sa pratyavOcat hE prabhO sa kO yat tasminnahaM vizvasimi?
37 “You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
tatO yIzuH kathitavAn tvaM taM dRSTavAn tvayA sAkaM yaH kathaM kathayati saEva saH|
38 “Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
tadA hE prabhO vizvasimItyuktvA sa taM praNAmat|
39 Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
pazcAd yIzuH kathitavAn nayanahInA nayanAni prApnuvanti nayanavantazcAndhA bhavantItyabhiprAyENa jagadAham Agaccham|
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
Etat zrutvA nikaTasthAH katipayAH phirUzinO vyAharan vayamapi kimandhAH?
41 “If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
