John 9
1 And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.
Waktu Yesus berjalan, Ia melihat orang yang buta sejak lahir.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?
Pengikut-pengikut Yesus bertanya kepada Yesus, "Bapak Guru, mengapa orang ini dilahirkan buta? Apakah karena ia sendiri berdosa atau karena ibu bapaknya berdosa?"
3 Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.
Yesus menjawab, "Dia buta bukan karena dosanya sendiri atau dosa orang tuanya, tetapi supaya orang bisa melihat kuasa Allah bekerja dalam dirinya.
4 I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work.
Selama masih siang, kita harus mengerjakan pekerjaan Dia yang mengutus Aku. Malam akan tiba, dan seorang pun tak akan dapat bekerja.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am [the] light of the world.
Selama Aku di dunia ini, Akulah terang dunia."
6 Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.
Setelah berkata begitu Yesus meludah ke tanah, dan mengaduk ludah-Nya itu dengan tanah. Kemudian Ia mengoleskannya pada mata orang itu,
7 And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.
lalu berkata kepadanya, "Pergilah bersihkan mukamu di Kolam Siloam." (Siloam berarti 'Diutus'.) Maka orang itu pergi membersihkan mukanya. Waktu ia kembali, ia sudah dapat melihat.
8 The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?
Tetangga-tetangganya dan orang-orang yang sebelumnya melihat dia mengemis, semuanya berkata, "Bukankah dia ini orang yang biasanya duduk minta-minta?"
9 Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: he said, It is I.
Ada yang berkata, "Memang dia." Tetapi ada pula yang berkata, "Bukan, ia hanya mirip orang itu." Tetapi orang itu sendiri berkata, "Sayalah dia."
10 They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?
"Bagaimana jadinya sampai engkau bisa melihat?" kata mereka kepadanya.
11 He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.
Ia menjawab, "Orang yang bernama Yesus itu membuat sedikit lumpur, lalu mengoleskannya pada mata saya dan berkata, 'Pergilah bersihkan mukamu di Kolam Siloam.' Lalu saya pergi. Dan ketika saya membersihkan muka saya, saya bisa melihat."
12 They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
"Di mana orang itu?" tanya mereka. Ia menjawab, "Tidak tahu."
13 They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.
Hari itu adalah hari Sabat waktu Yesus mengaduk tanah dengan ludah-Nya untuk membuat orang buta itu bisa melihat. Maka orang yang tadinya buta itu dibawa kepada orang-orang Farisi.
14 Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.
Mereka juga bertanya kepadanya bagaimana ia dapat melihat. Ia menjawab, "Dia menaruh lumpur di mata saya, lalu saya membersihkannya dan saya bisa melihat."
16 Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.
Beberapa di antara orang-orang Farisi itu berkata, "Tak mungkin orang yang melakukan ini berasal dari Allah, sebab Ia tidak mengindahkan hari Sabat." Tetapi orang lain berkata, "Mana mungkin orang yang berdosa melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban seperti ini?" Lalu timbullah pertentangan pendapat di antara mereka.
17 They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
Maka orang-orang Farisi itu bertanya lagi kepada orang itu, "Apa pendapatmu tentang Dia yang membuat engkau melihat?" "Dia nabi," jawab orang itu.
18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.
Tetapi para pemimpin Yahudi itu tidak mau percaya bahwa orang itu memang buta sebelumnya dan sekarang dapat melihat. Karena itu mereka memanggil orang tuanya,
19 And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?
dan bertanya, "Benarkah ini anakmu yang katamu lahir buta? Bagaimana ia bisa melihat sekarang?"
20 His parents answered [them] and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Ibu bapak orang itu menjawab, "Memang ini anak kami; dan ia memang buta sejak lahir.
21 but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself.
Tetapi bagaimana ia bisa melihat sekarang, kami tidak tahu. Dan siapa yang membuat dia bisa melihat, itu pun kami tidak tahu. Tanya saja kepadanya, ia sudah dewasa; ia dapat menjawab sendiri."
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.
Ibu bapak orang itu berkata begitu sebab mereka takut kepada para pemimpin Yahudi; karena mereka itu sudah sepakat, bahwa orang yang mengakui Yesus sebagai Raja Penyelamat, tidak boleh lagi masuk rumah ibadat.
23 On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.
Itu sebabnya ibu bapak orang itu berkata, "Ia sudah dewasa; tanya saja kepadanya."
24 They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.
Lalu mereka memanggil lagi orang yang tadinya buta itu, dan berkata kepadanya, "Bersumpahlah bahwa engkau akan berkata yang benar. Kami tahu orang itu orang berdosa."
25 He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.
"Apakah Dia berdosa atau tidak," jawab orang itu, "saya tidak tahu. Tetapi satu hal saya tahu; dahulu saya buta, sekarang saya melihat."
26 And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
Lalu mereka berkata lagi kepadanya, "Ia berbuat apa kepadamu? Bagaimana Ia membuat engkau melihat?"
27 He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?
Orang itu menjawab, "Sudah saya ceritakan kepadamu, tetapi kalian tidak mau mendengarkan. Mengapa kalian mau mendengarnya lagi? Barangkali kalian mau menjadi pengikut-pengikut-Nya juga?"
28 They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Lalu mereka memaki dia dan berkata, "Engkaulah pengikut-Nya; kami bukan! Kami pengikut Musa.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.
Kami tahu bahwa Allah sudah berbicara kepada Musa. Tetapi tentang orang itu, kami tidak tahu dari mana asal-Nya."
30 The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.
Orang itu menjawab, "Aneh sekali bahwa kalian tidak tahu dari mana asal-Nya, sedangkan Ia sudah membuat saya bisa melihat.
31 [But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.
Kita tahu bahwa Allah tidak mendengarkan orang berdosa, melainkan orang yang menghormati Allah, dan melakukan kehendak-Nya.
32 Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
Sejak permulaan dunia belum pernah terdengar ada orang membuat orang yang lahir buta bisa melihat. (aiōn g165)
33 If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.
Kalau orang itu bukan dari Allah, Ia tak akan dapat berbuat apa-apa."
34 They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.
Jawab mereka, "Apa? Engkau yang penuh dosa sejak lahir, engkau mau mengajar kami?" Maka sejak itu ia dilarang masuk ke rumah ibadat.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?
Yesus mendengar bahwa mereka sudah mengucilkan orang itu dari rumah ibadat. Ia mencari orang itu lalu berkata kepadanya, "Apakah engkau percaya kepada Anak Manusia?"
36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
Orang itu menjawab, "Siapa Dia, Tuan? Tolong beritahukan supaya saya percaya kepada-Nya."
37 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.
"Engkau sudah melihat Dia," jawab Yesus. "Dialah yang sekarang ini sedang berbicara dengan engkau."
38 And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.
"Saya percaya, Tuhan," kata orang itu, lalu sujud di hadapan Yesus.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.
Yesus berkata, "Aku datang ke dunia ini untuk menghakimi; supaya orang yang buta dapat melihat, dan orang yang dapat melihat, menjadi buta."
40 And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?
Beberapa orang Farisi yang ada di situ mendengar Yesus berkata begitu, lalu mereka bertanya kepada-Nya, "Maksud-Mu kami ini buta juga?"
41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
Yesus menjawab, "Sekiranya kalian buta, kalian tidak berdosa. Tetapi sebab kalian berkata, 'Kami melihat,' itu berarti kalian masih berdosa."
