John 9
1 And as he was passing along, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśurgacchan mārgamadhyē 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 apr̥cchan hē gurō narōyaṁ svapāpēna vā svapitrāḥ pāpēnāndhō'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 ētasya vāsya pitrōḥ pāpād ētādr̥śōbhūda iti nahi kintvanēna yathēśvarasya karmma prakāśyatē taddhētōrēva|
4 We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night is coming, when no one can work.
dinē tiṣṭhati matprērayituḥ karmma mayā karttavyaṁ yadā kimapi karmma na kriyatē tādr̥śī niśāgacchati|
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
ahaṁ yāvatkālaṁ jagati tiṣṭhāmi tāvatkālaṁ jagatō jyōtiḥsvarūpōsmi|
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 tēna paṅkaṁ kr̥tavān
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 tatpaṅkēna tasyāndhasya nētrē pralipya tamityādiśat gatvā śilōhē 'rthāt prēritanāmni sarasi snāhi| tatōndhō 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 samīpavāsinō lōkā yē ca taṁ pūrvvamandham apaśyan tē bakttum ārabhanta yōndhalōkō vartmanyupaviśyābhikṣata sa ēvāyaṁ janaḥ kiṁ na bhavati?
9 Some said, This is he. Others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
kēcidavadan sa ēva kēcidavōcan tādr̥śō bhavati kintu sa svayamabravīt sa ēvāhaṁ bhavāmi|
10 They said therefore to him How then were thine eyes opened?
ataēva tē 'pr̥cchan tvaṁ kathaṁ dr̥ṣṭiṁ 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 sōvadad yīśanāmaka ēkō janō mama nayanē paṅkēna pralipya ityājñāpayat śilōhakāsāraṁ gatvā tatra snāhi| tatastatra gatvā mayi snātē dr̥ṣṭimahaṁ labdhavān|
12 And they said to him, Where is that man? He saith, I do not know.
tadā tē 'vadan sa pumān kutra? tēnōkttaṁ nāhaṁ jānāmi|
13 They bring to the Pharisees him who had once been blind.
aparaṁ tasmin pūrvvāndhē janē phirūśināṁ nikaṭam ānītē sati phirūśinōpi tamapr̥cchan kathaṁ dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāptōsi?
14 And the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the sabbath.
tataḥ sa kathitavān sa paṅkēna mama nētrē 'limpat paścād snātvā dr̥ṣṭimalabhē|
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 rviśrāmavārē karddamaṁ kr̥tvā tasya nayanē prasannē'karōd itikāraṇāt katipayaphirūśinō'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 manyatē| tatōnyē kēcit pratyavadan pāpī pumān kim ētādr̥śam āścaryyaṁ karmma karttuṁ śaknōti?
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 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 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 dr̥ṣṭim āptavān iti yihūdīyāstasya dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāptasya janasya pitrō 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?
ataēva tē tāvapr̥cchan yuvayō ryaṁ putraṁ janmāndhaṁ vadathaḥ sa kimayaṁ? tarhīdānīṁ kathaṁ draṣṭuṁ śaknōti?
20 His parents, answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
tatastasya pitarau pratyavōcatām ayam āvayōḥ putra ā janērandhaśca 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 dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāptavān tadāvāṁ n jānīvaḥ kōsya cakṣuṣī prasannē kr̥tavān tadapi na jānīva ēṣa vayaḥprāpta ēnaṁ pr̥cchata 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 kōpi manuṣyō yadi yīśum abhiṣiktaṁ vadati tarhi sa bhajanagr̥hād dūrīkāriṣyatē yihūdīyā iti mantraṇām akurvvan
23 Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.
atastasya pitarau vyāharatām ēṣa vayaḥprāpta ēnaṁ pr̥cchata|
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 tē punaśca taṁ pūrvvāndham āhūya vyāharan īśvarasya guṇān vada ēṣa 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 vēti nāhaṁ jānē pūrvāmandha āsamaham adhunā paśyāmīti mātraṁ jānāmi|
26 They said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?
tē punarapr̥cchan sa tvāṁ prati kimakarōt? kathaṁ nētrē prasannē 'karōt?
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 sōvādīd ēkakr̥tvōkathayaṁ yūyaṁ na śr̥ṇutha tarhi kutaḥ punaḥ śrōtum icchatha? yūyamapi kiṁ tasya śiṣyā bhavitum icchatha?
28 They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.
tadā tē taṁ tiraskr̥tya vyāharan tvaṁ tasya śiṣyō vayaṁ mūsāḥ śiṣyāḥ|
29 We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
mūsāvaktrēṇēśvarō jagāda tajjānīmaḥ kintvēṣa kutratyalōka 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.
sōvadad ēṣa mama lōcanē prasannē 'karōt tathāpi kutratyalōka iti yūyaṁ na jānītha ētad 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 śr̥ṇōti kintu yō janastasmin bhaktiṁ kr̥tvā tadiṣṭakriyāṁ karōti tasyaiva kathāṁ śr̥ṇōti ētad vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
32 Since the world began, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)
kōpi manuṣyō janmāndhāya cakṣuṣī adadāt jagadārambhād ētādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ kōpi kadāpi nāśr̥ṇōt| (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
asmād ēṣa manuṣyō yadīśvarānnājāyata tarhi kiñcidapīdr̥śaṁ karmma karttuṁ nāśaknōt|
34 They answered and said to him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
tē vyāharan tvaṁ pāpād ajāyathāḥ kimasmān tvaṁ śikṣayasi? paścāttē 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 pr̥ṣṭavān īśvarasya putrē tvaṁ viśvasiṣi?
36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
tadā sa pratyavōcat hē prabhō sa kō yat tasminnahaṁ viśvasimi?
37 Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
tatō yīśuḥ kathitavān tvaṁ taṁ dr̥ṣṭavān tvayā sākaṁ yaḥ kathaṁ kathayati saēva saḥ|
38 And he said, I believe, Lord; and he prostrated himself before him.
tadā hē prabhō 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 bhavantītyabhiprāyēṇa jagadāham āgaccham|
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this, and said to him, Are we also blind?
ētat śrutvā nikaṭasthāḥ katipayāḥ phirūśinō 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|
