John 9
1 And as he was passing along, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśurgacchan mārgamadhye janmāndhaṁ naram apaśyat|
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
tataḥ śiṣyāstam apṛcchan he guro naroyaṁ svapāpena vā svapitrāḥ pāpenāndho'jāyata?
3 Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
tataḥ sa pratyuditavān etasya vāsya pitroḥ pāpād etādṛśobhūda iti nahi kintvanena yatheśvarasya karmma prakāśyate taddhetoreva|
4 We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night is coming, when no one can work.
dine tiṣṭhati matprerayituḥ karmma mayā karttavyaṁ yadā kimapi karmma na kriyate tādṛśī niśāgacchati|
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
ahaṁ yāvatkālaṁ jagati tiṣṭhāmi tāvatkālaṁ jagato jyotiḥsvarūposmi|
6 Having thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,
ityukttā bhūmau niṣṭhīvaṁ nikṣipya tena paṅkaṁ kṛtavān
7 and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam; (which is, when translated, Sent.) He went away therefore, and washed and came seeing.
paścāt tatpaṅkena tasyāndhasya netre pralipya tamityādiśat gatvā śilohe 'rthāt preritanāmni sarasi snāhi| tatondho gatvā tatrāsnāt tataḥ prannacakṣu rbhūtvā vyāghuṭyāgāt|
8 The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him as a beggar, said, Is not this he that sits and begs?
aparañca samīpavāsino lokā ye ca taṁ pūrvvamandham apaśyan te bakttum ārabhanta yondhaloko vartmanyupaviśyābhikṣata sa evāyaṁ janaḥ kiṁ na bhavati?
9 Some said, This is he. Others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
kecidavadan sa eva kecidavocan tādṛśo bhavati kintu sa svayamabravīt sa evāhaṁ bhavāmi|
10 They said therefore to him How then were thine eyes opened?
ataeva te 'pṛcchan tvaṁ kathaṁ dṛṣṭiṁ pāptavān?
11 He answered, The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam, and wash. I went therefore and washed, and received sight.
tataḥ sovadad yīśanāmaka eko jano mama nayane paṅkena pralipya ityājñāpayat śilohakāsāraṁ gatvā tatra snāhi| tatastatra gatvā mayi snāte dṛṣṭimahaṁ labdhavān|
12 And they said to him, Where is that man? He saith, I do not know.
tadā te 'vadan sa pumān kutra? tenokttaṁ nāhaṁ jānāmi|
13 They bring to the Pharisees him who had once been blind.
aparaṁ tasmin pūrvvāndhe jane phirūśināṁ nikaṭam ānīte sati phirūśinopi tamapṛcchan kathaṁ dṛṣṭiṁ prāptosi?
14 And the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the sabbath.
tataḥ sa kathitavān sa paṅkena mama netre 'limpat paścād snātvā dṛṣṭimalabhe|
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and I see.
kintu yīśu rviśrāmavāre karddamaṁ kṛtvā tasya nayane prasanne'karod itikāraṇāt katipayaphirūśino'vadan
16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs. And there was a division among them.
sa pumān īśvarānna yataḥ sa viśrāmavāraṁ na manyate| tatonye kecit pratyavadan pāpī pumān kim etādṛśam āścaryyaṁ karmma karttuṁ śaknoti?
17 They say therefore to the blind man again, What dost thou say of him for having opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
itthaṁ teṣāṁ parasparaṁ bhinnavākyatvam abhavat| paścāt te punarapi taṁ pūrvvāndhaṁ mānuṣam aprākṣuḥ yo janastava cakṣuṣī prasanne kṛtavān tasmin tvaṁ kiṁ vadasi? sa ukttavān sa bhaviśadvādī|
18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
sa dṛṣṭim āptavān iti yihūdīyāstasya dṛṣṭiṁ prāptasya janasya pitro rmukhād aśrutvā na pratyayan|
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?
ataeva te tāvapṛcchan yuvayo ryaṁ putraṁ janmāndhaṁ vadathaḥ sa kimayaṁ? tarhīdānīṁ kathaṁ draṣṭuṁ śaknoti?
20 His parents, answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
tatastasya pitarau pratyavocatām ayam āvayoḥ putra ā janerandhaśca tadapyāvāṁ jānīvaḥ
21 but by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not; ask him, he is of age; he will speak for himself.
kintvadhunā kathaṁ dṛṣṭiṁ prāptavān tadāvāṁ n jānīvaḥ kosya cakṣuṣī prasanne kṛtavān tadapi na jānīva eṣa vayaḥprāpta enaṁ pṛcchata svakathāṁ svayaṁ vakṣyati|
22 This his parents said, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should acknowledge him as the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
yihūdīyānāṁ bhayāt tasya pitarau vākyamidam avadatāṁ yataḥ kopi manuṣyo yadi yīśum abhiṣiktaṁ vadati tarhi sa bhajanagṛhād dūrīkāriṣyate yihūdīyā iti mantraṇām akurvvan
23 Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.
atastasya pitarau vyāharatām eṣa vayaḥprāpta enaṁ pṛcchata|
24 They therefore called a second time the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
tadā te punaśca taṁ pūrvvāndham āhūya vyāharan īśvarasya guṇān vada eṣa manuṣyaḥ pāpīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
tadā sa ukttavān sa pāpī na veti nāhaṁ jāne pūrvāmandha āsamaham adhunā paśyāmīti mātraṁ jānāmi|
26 They said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?
te punarapṛcchan sa tvāṁ prati kimakarot? kathaṁ netre prasanne 'karot?
27 He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hear; why would ye hear it again? Are ye also inclined to become his disciples?
tataḥ sovādīd ekakṛtvokathayaṁ yūyaṁ na śṛṇutha tarhi kutaḥ punaḥ śrotum icchatha? yūyamapi kiṁ tasya śiṣyā bhavitum icchatha?
28 They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.
tadā te taṁ tiraskṛtya vyāharan tvaṁ tasya śiṣyo vayaṁ mūsāḥ śiṣyāḥ|
29 We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
mūsāvaktreṇeśvaro jagāda tajjānīmaḥ kintveṣa kutratyaloka iti na jānīmaḥ|
30 The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes.
sovadad eṣa mama locane prasanne 'karot tathāpi kutratyaloka iti yūyaṁ na jānītha etad āścaryyaṁ bhavati|
31 We know that God heareth not sinners; but if any one is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
īśvaraḥ pāpināṁ kathāṁ na śṛṇoti kintu yo janastasmin bhaktiṁ kṛtvā tadiṣṭakriyāṁ karoti tasyaiva kathāṁ śṛṇoti etad vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
32 Since the world began, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)
kopi manuṣyo janmāndhāya cakṣuṣī adadāt jagadārambhād etādṛśīṁ kathāṁ kopi kadāpi nāśṛṇot| (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
asmād eṣa manuṣyo yadīśvarānnājāyata tarhi kiñcidapīdṛśaṁ karmma karttuṁ nāśaknot|
34 They answered and said to him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
te vyāharan tvaṁ pāpād ajāyathāḥ kimasmān tvaṁ śikṣayasi? paścātte taṁ bahirakurvvan|
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and he found him, and said, Dost thou believe in the Son of man?
tadanantaraṁ yihūdīyaiḥ sa bahirakriyata yīśuriti vārttāṁ śrutvā taṁ sākṣāt prāpya pṛṣṭavān īśvarasya putre tvaṁ viśvasiṣi?
36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
tadā sa pratyavocat he prabho sa ko yat tasminnahaṁ viśvasimi?
37 Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
tato yīśuḥ kathitavān tvaṁ taṁ dṛṣṭavān tvayā sākaṁ yaḥ kathaṁ kathayati saeva saḥ|
38 And he said, I believe, Lord; and he prostrated himself before him.
tadā he prabho viśvasimītyuktvā sa taṁ praṇāmat|
39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world; that they who see not might see, and that they who see might become blind.
paścād yīśuḥ kathitavān nayanahīnā nayanāni prāpnuvanti nayanavantaścāndhā bhavantītyabhiprāyeṇa jagadāham āgaccham|
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this, and said to him, Are we also blind?
etat śrutvā nikaṭasthāḥ katipayāḥ phirūśino vyāharan vayamapi kimandhāḥ?
41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see. Your sin remaineth.
tadā yīśuravādīd yadyandhā abhavata tarhi pāpāni nātiṣṭhan kintu paśyāmīti vākyavadanād yuṣmākaṁ pāpāni tiṣṭhanti|
