< John 9 >

1 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܟܪܤ ܐܡܗ
2 And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܪܒܢ ܡܢܘ ܚܛܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܘ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܟܕ ܤܡܐ ܢܬܝܠܕ
3 Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܗܘ ܚܛܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܬܚܙܘܢ ܒܗ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ
4 We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
ܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܥܕ ܐܝܡܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܬܐ ܠܠܝܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܦܠܚ
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
ܟܡܐ ܕܒܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,
ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܪܩ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܓܒܠ ܛܝܢܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܩܗ ܘܛܫ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ
7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܠ ܐܫܝܓ ܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܫܝܠܘܚܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܫܝܓ ܘܐܬܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ
8 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?"
ܫܒܒܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܕܚܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܕܪ
9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
ܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡܐ ܕܡܐ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ
10 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܝܟ
11 He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܒܕ ܛܝܢܐ ܘܛܫ ܠܝ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܙܠ ܐܫܝܓ ܒܡܝܐ ܕܫܝܠܘܚܐ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܐܫܝܓܬ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܝ
12 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܦܪܝܫܐ
14 Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܢ ܫܒܬܐ ܟܕ ܥܒܕ ܛܝܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ
15 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."
ܘܬܘܒ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܝܢܐ ܤܡ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܝ ܘܐܫܝܓܬ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܝ
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܛܪ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܘܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܠܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܦܬܚ ܠܟ ܥܝܢܝܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ
18 The Jewish leaders therefore did not 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,
ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܩܪܘ ܠܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܕܚܙܐ
19 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
ܘܫܐܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܢ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܕ ܤܡܐ ܐܬܝܠܕ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܚܙܐ
20 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
ܥܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܗܢܘ ܒܪܢ ܘܕܟܕ ܤܡܐ ܐܬܝܠܕ
21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܘ ܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܥܠ ܠܗ ܠܫܢܘܗܝ ܠܗ ܫܐܠܘ ܗܘ ܚܠܦ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܡܠܠ
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jewish leaders; for the Jewish leaders had already agreed that if anyone would confess him as the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܦܤܩܘ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܘܕܐ ܒܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܢܦܩܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ
23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܥܠ ܠܗ ܠܫܢܘܗܝ ܠܗ ܫܐܠܘ
24 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."
ܘܩܪܐܘܗܝ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܘ
25 He therefore answered, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."
ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ
26 They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܘܒ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܦܬܚ ܠܟ ܥܝܢܝܟ
27 He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not also want to become his disciples, do you?"
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܠܗ
28 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܨܚܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܗ ܕܗܘ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܡܘܫܐ
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
ܘܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܥܡ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܠܠ ܠܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ
30 The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܡܬܕܡܪܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܝܢܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܦܬܚ
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.
ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܕܚܛܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܕܚܠ ܡܢܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܠܗܘ ܗܘ ܫܡܥ
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
ܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܕܦܬܚ ܐܢܫ ܥܝܢܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܕܐܬܝܠܕ (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ
34 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out.
ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܟܠܟ ܒܚܛܗܐ ܐܬܝܠܕܬ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܠܦ ܐܢܬ ܠܢ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
ܘܫܡܥ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܘܐܫܟܚܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܒܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
36 He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐܤܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܡܪܝ ܕܐܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ
37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܝܬܝܗܝ ܘܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܗܘܝܘ
38 He said, "Lord, I believe." and he worshiped him.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܘܢܦܠ ܤܓܕ ܠܗ
39 Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."
ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܕܝܢܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܢܤܡܘܢ
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
ܘܫܡܥܘ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܚܢܢ
41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܠܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܚܙܝܢܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܛܝܬܟܘܢ ܩܝܡܐ ܗܝ
