John 9
1 And passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
tataḥ paraṁ yīśurgacchan mārgamadhyē janmāndhaṁ naram apaśyat|
2 and His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
tataḥ śiṣyāstam apr̥cchan hē gurō narōyaṁ svapāpēna vā svapitrāḥ pāpēnāndhō'jāyata?
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this one sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God may be revealed in him;
tataḥ sa pratyuditavān ētasya vāsya pitrōḥ pāpād ētādr̥śōbhūda iti nahi kintvanēna yathēśvarasya karmma prakāśyatē taddhētōrēva|
4 it is necessary for Me to be working the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night comes when no one is able to work:
dinē tiṣṭhati matprērayituḥ karmma mayā karttavyaṁ yadā kimapi karmma na kriyatē tādr̥śī niśāgacchati|
5 when I am in the world, I AM [the] light of the world.”
ahaṁ yāvatkālaṁ jagati tiṣṭhāmi tāvatkālaṁ jagatō jyōtiḥsvarūpōsmi|
6 Saying these things, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,
ityukttā bhūmau niṣṭhīvaṁ nikṣipya tēna paṅkaṁ kr̥tavān
7 “Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,” which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came seeing;
paścāt tatpaṅkēna tasyāndhasya nētrē pralipya tamityādiśat gatvā śilōhē 'rthāt prēritanāmni sarasi snāhi| tatōndhō gatvā tatrāsnāt tataḥ prannacakṣu rbhūtvā vyāghuṭyāgāt|
8 the neighbors, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, “Is this not he who is sitting and begging?”
aparañca samīpavāsinō lōkā yē ca taṁ pūrvvamandham apaśyan tē bakttum ārabhanta yōndhalōkō vartmanyupaviśyābhikṣata sa ēvāyaṁ janaḥ kiṁ na bhavati?
9 Others said, “This is he”; and others, “He is like to him”; he himself said, “I am [he].”
kēcidavadan sa ēva kēcidavōcan tādr̥śō bhavati kintu sa svayamabravīt sa ēvāhaṁ bhavāmi|
10 They said, therefore, to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
ataēva tē 'pr̥cchan tvaṁ kathaṁ dr̥ṣṭiṁ pāptavān?
11 He answered and said, “A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight”;
tataḥ sōvadad yīśanāmaka ēkō janō mama nayanē paṅkēna pralipya ityājñāpayat śilōhakāsāraṁ gatvā tatra snāhi| tatastatra gatvā mayi snātē dr̥ṣṭimahaṁ labdhavān|
12 they said, therefore, to him, “Where is that One?” He says, “I have not known.”
tadā tē 'vadan sa pumān kutra? tēnōkttaṁ nāhaṁ jānāmi|
13 They bring him who once [was] blind to the Pharisees,
aparaṁ tasmin pūrvvāndhē janē phirūśināṁ nikaṭam ānītē sati phirūśinōpi tamapr̥cchan kathaṁ dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāptōsi?
14 and it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
tataḥ sa kathitavān sa paṅkēna mama nētrē 'limpat paścād snātvā dr̥ṣṭimalabhē|
15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed—and I see.”
kintu yīśu rviśrāmavārē karddamaṁ kr̥tvā tasya nayanē prasannē'karōd itikāraṇāt katipayaphirūśinō'vadan
16 Certain of the Pharisees therefore said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath”; others said, “How is a man—a sinful one—able to do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
sa pumān īśvarānna yataḥ sa viśrāmavāraṁ na manyatē| tatōnyē kēcit pratyavadan pāpī pumān kim ētādr̥śam āścaryyaṁ karmma karttuṁ śaknōti?
17 They said to the blind man again, “You—what do you say of Him—that He opened your eyes?”
itthaṁ tēṣāṁ parasparaṁ bhinnavākyatvam abhavat| paścāt tē punarapi taṁ pūrvvāndhaṁ mānuṣam aprākṣuḥ yō janastava cakṣuṣī prasannē kr̥tavān tasmin tvaṁ kiṁ vadasi? sa ukttavān sa bhaviśadvādī|
18 And he said, “He is a prophet.” The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him who received sight,
sa dr̥ṣṭim āptavān iti yihūdīyāstasya dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāptasya janasya pitrō rmukhād aśrutvā na pratyayan|
19 and they asked them, saying, “Is [this] your son, of whom you say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?”
ataēva tē tāvapr̥cchan yuvayō ryaṁ putraṁ janmāndhaṁ vadathaḥ sa kimayaṁ? tarhīdānīṁ kathaṁ draṣṭuṁ śaknōti?
20 His parents answered them and said, “We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
tatastasya pitarau pratyavōcatām ayam āvayōḥ putra ā janērandhaśca tadapyāvāṁ jānīvaḥ
21 and how he now sees, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; he is of age, ask him; he himself will speak concerning himself.”
kintvadhunā kathaṁ dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāptavān tadāvāṁ n jānīvaḥ kōsya cakṣuṣī prasannē kr̥tavān tadapi na jānīva ēṣa vayaḥprāpta ēnaṁ pr̥cchata svakathāṁ svayaṁ vakṣyati|
22 His parents said these things, because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed together, that if anyone may confess Him—Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;
yihūdīyānāṁ bhayāt tasya pitarau vākyamidam avadatāṁ yataḥ kōpi manuṣyō yadi yīśum abhiṣiktaṁ vadati tarhi sa bhajanagr̥hād dūrīkāriṣyatē yihūdīyā iti mantraṇām akurvvan
23 because of this his parents said, “He is of age, ask him.”
atastasya pitarau vyāharatām ēṣa vayaḥprāpta ēnaṁ pr̥cchata|
24 They called, therefore, the man who was blind a second time, and they said to him, “Give glory to God, we have known that this Man is a sinner”;
tadā tē punaśca taṁ pūrvvāndham āhūya vyāharan īśvarasya guṇān vada ēṣa manuṣyaḥ pāpīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
25 he answered, therefore, and said, “If He is a sinner—I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.”
tadā sa ukttavān sa pāpī na vēti nāhaṁ jānē pūrvāmandha āsamaham adhunā paśyāmīti mātraṁ jānāmi|
26 And they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
tē punarapr̥cchan sa tvāṁ prati kimakarōt? kathaṁ nētrē prasannē 'karōt?
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to hear [it] again? Do you also wish to become His disciples?”
tataḥ sōvādīd ēkakr̥tvōkathayaṁ yūyaṁ na śr̥ṇutha tarhi kutaḥ punaḥ śrōtum icchatha? yūyamapi kiṁ tasya śiṣyā bhavitum icchatha?
28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, “You are His disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;
tadā tē taṁ tiraskr̥tya vyāharan tvaṁ tasya śiṣyō vayaṁ mūsāḥ śiṣyāḥ|
29 we have known that God has spoken to Moses, but this One—we have not known where He is from.”
mūsāvaktrēṇēśvarō jagāda tajjānīmaḥ kintvēṣa kutratyalōka iti na jānīmaḥ|
30 The man answered and said to them, “Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that you have not known where He is from, and He opened my eyes!
sōvadad ēṣa mama lōcanē prasannē 'karōt tathāpi kutratyalōka iti yūyaṁ na jānītha ētad āścaryyaṁ bhavati|
31 And we have known that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone may be a worshiper of God, and may do His will, He hears him;
īśvaraḥ pāpināṁ kathāṁ na śr̥ṇōti kintu yō janastasmin bhaktiṁ kr̥tvā tadiṣṭakriyāṁ karōti tasyaiva kathāṁ śr̥ṇōti ētad vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
32 from the age it was not heard that anyone opened eyes of one who has been born blind; (aiōn g165)
kōpi manuṣyō janmāndhāya cakṣuṣī adadāt jagadārambhād ētādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ kōpi kadāpi nāśr̥ṇōt| (aiōn g165)
33 if this One were not from God, He were not able to do anything.”
asmād ēṣa manuṣyō yadīśvarānnājāyata tarhi kiñcidapīdr̥śaṁ karmma karttuṁ nāśaknōt|
34 They answered and said to him, “In sins you were born altogether, and you teach us?” And they cast him forth outside.
tē vyāharan tvaṁ pāpād ajāyathāḥ kimasmān tvaṁ śikṣayasi? paścāttē taṁ bahirakurvvan|
35 Jesus heard that they cast him forth outside, and having found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
tadanantaraṁ yihūdīyaiḥ sa bahirakriyata yīśuriti vārttāṁ śrutvā taṁ sākṣāt prāpya pr̥ṣṭavān īśvarasya putrē tvaṁ viśvasiṣi?
36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
tadā sa pratyavōcat hē prabhō sa kō yat tasminnahaṁ viśvasimi?
37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He who is speaking with you is He”;
tatō yīśuḥ kathitavān tvaṁ taṁ dr̥ṣṭavān tvayā sākaṁ yaḥ kathaṁ kathayati saēva saḥ|
38 and he said, “I believe, Lord,” and worshiped Him.
tadā hē prabhō viśvasimītyuktvā sa taṁ praṇāmat|
39 And Jesus said, “I came to this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.”
paścād yīśuḥ kathitavān nayanahīnā nayanāni prāpnuvanti nayanavantaścāndhā bhavantītyabhiprāyēṇa jagadāham āgaccham|
40 And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and they said to Him, “Are we also blind?”
ētat śrutvā nikaṭasthāḥ katipayāḥ phirūśinō vyāharan vayamapi kimandhāḥ?
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you were not having had sin, but now you say—We see, therefore your sin remains.”
tadā yīśuravādīd yadyandhā abhavata tarhi pāpāni nātiṣṭhan kintu paśyāmīti vākyavadanād yuṣmākaṁ pāpāni tiṣṭhanti|
