John 9
1 And, passing along, he saw a man, blind from birth.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśurgacchan mārgamadhye janmāndhaṁ naram apaśyat|
2 And his disciples questioned him, saying—Rabbi! who sinned, this man or his parents, that, blind, he should be born?
tataḥ śiṣyāstam apṛcchan he guro naroyaṁ svapāpena vā svapitrāḥ pāpenāndho'jāyata?
3 Jesus answered—Neither, this man, sinned nor his parents; but…that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
tataḥ sa pratyuditavān etasya vāsya pitroḥ pāpād etādṛśobhūda iti nahi kintvanena yatheśvarasya karmma prakāśyate taddhetoreva|
4 We must needs be working the works of him that sent me, while it is, day: There cometh a night, when, no one, can work.
dine tiṣṭhati matprerayituḥ karmma mayā karttavyaṁ yadā kimapi karmma na kriyate tādṛśī niśāgacchati|
5 Whensoever I may be, in the world, I am, the light, of the world.
ahaṁ yāvatkālaṁ jagati tiṣṭhāmi tāvatkālaṁ jagato jyotiḥsvarūposmi|
6 These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes;
ityukttā bhūmau niṣṭhīvaṁ nikṣipya tena paṅkaṁ kṛtavān
7 and said unto him—Withdraw! wash in the pool of Siloam, —which is to be 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 neighbours, therefore, and they who used to observe him aforetime—that he was, a beggar, were saying—Is not, this, he that used to sit and beg?
aparañca samīpavāsino lokā ye ca taṁ pūrvvamandham apaśyan te bakttum ārabhanta yondhaloko vartmanyupaviśyābhikṣata sa evāyaṁ janaḥ kiṁ na bhavati?
9 Others, were saying—’Tis, the same. Others, were saying—Nay! but he is, like him. He, was saying—I, am he.
kecidavadan sa eva kecidavocan tādṛśo bhavati kintu sa svayamabravīt sa evāhaṁ bhavāmi|
10 So they were saying unto him—How [then] were thine eyes opened?
ataeva te 'pṛcchan tvaṁ kathaṁ dṛṣṭiṁ pāptavān?
11 He, answered—The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I 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 unto him—Where is, He? He saith—I know not.
tadā te 'vadan sa pumān kutra? tenokttaṁ nāhaṁ jānāmi|
13 They bring him unto the Pharisees—him at one time blind.
aparaṁ tasmin pūrvvāndhe jane phirūśināṁ nikaṭam ānīte sati phirūśinopi tamapṛcchan kathaṁ dṛṣṭiṁ prāptosi?
14 Now it was Sabbath, on the day when Jesus made, the clay, and opened his eyes.
tataḥ sa kathitavān sa paṅkena mama netre 'limpat paścād snātvā dṛṣṭimalabhe|
15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them—Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed, —and do see.
kintu yīśu rviśrāmavāre karddamaṁ kṛtvā tasya nayane prasanne'karod itikāraṇāt katipayaphirūśino'vadan
16 Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying—This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not. Others, [however] were saying—How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? 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 So they were saying unto the blind man, again, What dost, thou, say concerning him, in that he opened thine eyes? And, he, said—A prophet, is he.
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 was blind, and received sight, —until they called the parents of him that had received sight,
sa dṛṣṭim āptavān iti yihūdīyāstasya dṛṣṭiṁ prāptasya janasya pitro rmukhād aśrutvā na pratyayan|
19 and questioned them, saying—Is, this, your son, of whom, ye, say, that blind, he was, born? How, then, seeth he, even now?
ataeva te tāvapṛcchan yuvayo ryaṁ putraṁ janmāndhaṁ vadathaḥ sa kimayaṁ? tarhīdānīṁ kathaṁ draṣṭuṁ śaknoti?
20 His parents, therefore, answered, and said—We know that, this, is our son, and that, blind, he was born;
tatastasya pitarau pratyavocatām ayam āvayoḥ putra ā janerandhaśca tadapyāvāṁ jānīvaḥ
21 But, how he now seeth, we know not, or, who opened his eyes, we, know not, —Question, him, he is, of age, he, concerning himself, shall speak.
kintvadhunā kathaṁ dṛṣṭiṁ prāptavān tadāvāṁ n jānīvaḥ kosya cakṣuṣī prasanne kṛtavān tadapi na jānīva eṣa vayaḥprāpta enaṁ pṛcchata svakathāṁ svayaṁ vakṣyati|
22 These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews, —for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made.
yihūdīyānāṁ bhayāt tasya pitarau vākyamidam avadatāṁ yataḥ kopi manuṣyo yadi yīśum abhiṣiktaṁ vadati tarhi sa bhajanagṛhād dūrīkāriṣyate yihūdīyā iti mantraṇām akurvvan
23 For this cause, his parents said—He is, of age, —question him.
atastasya pitarau vyāharatām eṣa vayaḥprāpta enaṁ pṛcchata|
24 So they called the man a second time—[him] who had been blind, and said unto him—Give glory unto 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, therefore, unto him—What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes?
te punarapṛcchan sa tvāṁ prati kimakarot? kathaṁ netre prasanne 'karot?
27 He answered them—I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples?
tataḥ sovādīd ekakṛtvokathayaṁ yūyaṁ na śṛṇutha tarhi kutaḥ punaḥ śrotum icchatha? yūyamapi kiṁ tasya śiṣyā bhavitum icchatha?
28 And they reviled him, and said—Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses’, disciples: —
tadā te taṁ tiraskṛtya vyāharan tvaṁ tasya śiṣyo vayaṁ mūsāḥ śiṣyāḥ|
29 We, know, that, unto Moses, hath God spoken; 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 unto them—Why! Herein, is, the marvel: That, ye, know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.
sovadad eṣa mama locane prasanne 'karot tathāpi kutratyaloka iti yūyaṁ na jānītha etad āścaryyaṁ bhavati|
31 We know that, God, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth.
īśvaraḥ pāpināṁ kathāṁ na śṛṇoti kintu yo janastasmin bhaktiṁ kṛtvā tadiṣṭakriyāṁ karoti tasyaiva kathāṁ śṛṇoti etad vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
32 Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born. (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 have done nothing.
asmād eṣa manuṣyo yadīśvarānnājāyata tarhi kiñcidapīdṛśaṁ karmma karttuṁ nāśaknot|
34 They answered and said unto him—In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, 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, finding him, said—Dost, thou, believe on 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, Sir, that I may believe on him?
tadā sa pratyavocat he prabho sa ko yat tasminnahaṁ viśvasimi?
37 Jesus said unto him—Thou hast both seen him and, he that is speaking with thee, is, he.
tato yīśuḥ kathitavān tvaṁ taṁ dṛṣṭavān tvayā sākaṁ yaḥ kathaṁ kathayati saeva saḥ|
38 And, he, said—I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.
tadā he prabho viśvasimītyuktvā sa taṁ praṇāmat|
39 And Jesus said—For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind.
paścād yīśuḥ kathitavān nayanahīnā nayanāni prāpnuvanti nayanavantaścāndhā bhavantītyabhiprāyeṇa jagadāham āgaccham|
40 They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him—Are, we also, blind?
etat śrutvā nikaṭasthāḥ katipayāḥ phirūśino vyāharan vayamapi kimandhāḥ?
41 Jesus said unto them—If, blind, ye had been, ye had not had sin; but, now, ye say, We see, your sin, abideth.
tadā yīśuravādīd yadyandhā abhavata tarhi pāpāni nātiṣṭhan kintu paśyāmīti vākyavadanād yuṣmākaṁ pāpāni tiṣṭhanti|
