< John 9 >
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
१फिर जाते हुए उसने एक मनुष्य को देखा, जो जन्म से अंधा था।
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
२और उसके चेलों ने उससे पूछा, “हे रब्बी, किसने पाप किया था कि यह अंधा जन्मा, इस मनुष्य ने, या उसके माता पिता ने?”
3 Jesus replied, “His being blind was not because he or his parents sinned. Instead, [he has been blind] in order that [people can] see the power of God {the power of God can be seen} as a result of [what will now happen] to him.
३यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, “न तो इसने पाप किया था, न इसके माता पिता ने परन्तु यह इसलिए हुआ, कि परमेश्वर के काम उसमें प्रगट हों।
4 While there is still time, I must do the work that the one who sent me [wants me to do. Just like daytime is followed by] nighttime when people do not work, [at the end of our lives] [MET] [it is too late for us to do what God wants].
४जिसने मुझे भेजा है; हमें उसके काम दिन ही दिन में करना अवश्य है। वह रात आनेवाली है जिसमें कोई काम नहीं कर सकता।
5 While I am still [living] in this world, I am the [one who enables people to know about God, like] [MET] [a] light enables the people in [MTY] this world [to see what is in the darkness].”
५जब तक मैं जगत में हूँ, तब तक जगत की ज्योति हूँ।”
6 After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made [a little bit of] mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
६यह कहकर उसने भूमि पर थूका और उस थूक से मिट्टी सानी, और वह मिट्टी उस अंधे की आँखों पर लगाकर।
7 Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ‘sent;’ [just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus]). So the man went and washed [in the pool], and when he went home he was able to see!
७उससे कहा, “जा, शीलोह के कुण्ड में धो ले” (शीलोह का अर्थ भेजा हुआ है) अतः उसने जाकर धोया, और देखता हुआ लौट आया।
8 His neighbors and others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn’t he?”
८तब पड़ोसी और जिन्होंने पहले उसे भीख माँगते देखा था, कहने लगे, “क्या यह वही नहीं, जो बैठा भीख माँगा करता था?”
9 Some said, “[Yes], he is.” Others said, “No, [he is not]. It is [just] a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
९कुछ लोगों ने कहा, “यह वही है,” औरों ने कहा, “नहीं, परन्तु उसके समान है” उसने कहा, “मैं वही हूँ।”
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
१०तब वे उससे पूछने लगे, “तेरी आँखें कैसे खुल गईं?”
11 He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam [pool] and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
११उसने उत्तर दिया, “यीशु नामक एक व्यक्ति ने मिट्टी सानी, और मेरी आँखों पर लगाकर मुझसे कहा, ‘शीलोह में जाकर धो ले,’ तो मैं गया, और धोकर देखने लगा।”
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
१२उन्होंने उससे पूछा, “वह कहाँ है?” उसने कहा, “मैं नहीं जानता।”
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
१३लोग उसे जो पहले अंधा था फरीसियों के पास ले गए।
14 The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest). [The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
१४जिस दिन यीशु ने मिट्टी सानकर उसकी आँखें खोली थी वह सब्त का दिन था।
15 So the Pharisees also asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I can see!”
१५फिर फरीसियों ने भी उससे पूछा; तेरी आँखें किस रीति से खुल गई? उसने उनसे कहा, “उसने मेरी आँखों पर मिट्टी लगाई, फिर मैंने धो लिया, और अब देखता हूँ।”
16 So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man [Jesus] disobeys [our rules about working] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, (he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?) [RHQ]” So they were divided.
१६इस पर कई फरीसी कहने लगे, “यह मनुष्य परमेश्वर की ओर से नहीं, क्योंकि वह सब्त का दिन नहीं मानता।” औरों ने कहा, “पापी मनुष्य कैसे ऐसे चिन्ह दिखा सकता है?” अतः उनमें फूट पड़ी।
17 So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “[I think] he is a prophet!” [So they told him to go].
१७उन्होंने उस अंधे से फिर कहा, “उसने जो तेरी आँखें खोली, तू उसके विषय में क्या कहता है?” उसने कहा, “यह भविष्यद्वक्ता है।”
18 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was [now] able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man’s parents.
१८परन्तु यहूदियों को विश्वास न हुआ कि यह अंधा था और अब देखता है जब तक उन्होंने उसके माता-पिता को जिसकी आँखें खुल गई थी, बुलाकर
19 [When they got there], one of [the Jewish leaders] asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? [If that is true], how is he now able to see?”
१९उनसे पूछा, “क्या यह तुम्हारा पुत्र है, जिसे तुम कहते हो कि अंधा जन्मा था? फिर अब कैसे देखता है?”
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
२०उसके माता-पिता ने उत्तर दिया, “हम तो जानते हैं कि यह हमारा पुत्र है, और अंधा जन्मा था।
21 But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough [to answer questions from authorities like you] He can tell you himself!”
२१परन्तु हम यह नहीं जानते हैं कि अब कैसे देखता है; और न यह जानते हैं, कि किसने उसकी आँखें खोलीं; वह सयाना है; उसी से पूछ लो; वह अपने विषय में आप कह देगा।”
22 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from [entering] their synagogues. His parents [knew that, so] they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
२२ये बातें उसके माता-पिता ने इसलिए कहीं क्योंकि वे यहूदियों से डरते थे; क्योंकि यहूदी एकमत हो चुके थे, कि यदि कोई कहे कि वह मसीह है, तो आराधनालय से निकाला जाए।
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
२३इसी कारण उसके माता-पिता ने कहा, “वह सयाना है; उसी से पूछ लो।”
24 So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. [When he got there], the [Jewish leaders] said to him, “Knowing that God [is listening] [IDM], tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
२४तब उन्होंने उस मनुष्य को जो अंधा था दूसरी बार बुलाकर उससे कहा, “परमेश्वर की स्तुति कर; हम तो जानते हैं कि वह मनुष्य पापी है।”
25 He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
२५उसने उत्तर दिया, “मैं नहीं जानता कि वह पापी है या नहीं मैं एक बात जानता हूँ कि मैं अंधा था और अब देखता हूँ।”
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
२६उन्होंने उससे फिर कहा, “उसने तेरे साथ क्या किया? और किस तरह तेरी आँखें खोली?”
27 He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not [RHQ] pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? (Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though [IRO] you also want to become his disciples [RHQ]).”
२७उसने उनसे कहा, “मैं तो तुम से कह चुका, और तुम ने न सुना; अब दूसरी बार क्यों सुनना चाहते हो? क्या तुम भी उसके चेले होना चाहते हो?”
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
२८तब वे उसे बुरा-भला कहकर बोले, “तू ही उसका चेला है; हम तो मूसा के चेले हैं।
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he [gets any authority] from!”
२९हम जानते हैं कि परमेश्वर ने मूसा से बातें कीं; परन्तु इस मनुष्य को नहीं जानते की कहाँ का है।”
30 The man replied, “That is very surprising! You [say that] you do not know where he [gets any authority]. But he enabled me to see!
३०उसने उनको उत्तर दिया, “यह तो अचम्भे की बात है कि तुम नहीं जानते कि वह कहाँ का है तो भी उसने मेरी आँखें खोल दीं।
31 We know that God does not help sinners [who ask God to help them]. Instead, he listens to [and helps] godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
३१हम जानते हैं कि परमेश्वर पापियों की नहीं सुनता परन्तु यदि कोई परमेश्वर का भक्त हो, और उसकी इच्छा पर चलता है, तो वह उसकी सुनता है।
32 No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn )
३२जगत के आरम्भ से यह कभी सुनने में नहीं आया, कि किसी ने भी जन्म के अंधे की आँखें खोली हों। (aiōn )
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
३३यदि यह व्यक्ति परमेश्वर की ओर से न होता, तो कुछ भी नहीं कर सकता।”
34 They replied to him, “You (were born [as a result of your parents’] sin [EUP]/bastard)! (Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!) [RHQ]” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
३४उन्होंने उसको उत्तर दिया, “तू तो बिलकुल पापों में जन्मा है, तू हमें क्या सिखाता है?” और उन्होंने उसे बाहर निकाल दिया।
35 Jesus heard [people say] that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven [is the Messiah]?”
३५यीशु ने सुना, कि उन्होंने उसे बाहर निकाल दिया है; और जब उससे भेंट हुई तो कहा, “क्या तू परमेश्वर के पुत्र पर विश्वास करता है?”
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
३६उसने उत्तर दिया, “हे प्रभु, वह कौन है कि मैं उस पर विश्वास करूँ?”
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
३७यीशु ने उससे कहा, “तूने उसे देखा भी है; और जो तेरे साथ बातें कर रहा है वही है।”
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
३८उसने कहा, “हे प्रभु, मैं विश्वास करता हूँ।” और उसे दण्डवत् किया।
39 Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge [the people in the world]. The result will be that [those who realize that they do not know God’s truth will perceive it. That is like] [MET] [enabling] those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who [falsely think] [IRO] that [they understand God’s truth will never understand it. That is like] [MET] [people] who are blind remaining blind permanently.”
३९तब यीशु ने कहा, “मैं इस जगत में न्याय के लिये आया हूँ, ताकि जो नहीं देखते वे देखें, और जो देखते हैं वे अंधे हो जाएँ।”
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are [like] blind people, are you?”
४०जो फरीसी उसके साथ थे, उन्होंने ये बातें सुनकर उससे कहा, “क्या हम भी अंधे हैं?”
41 Jesus said to them, “If you [realized that you did not yet know God’s truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like] blind people [who wanted to see. God would be able to] forgive your sins. But you are now [falsely] claiming that you [know God’s truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they] can see. [Because of that, God is not able to] forgive your sins.”
४१यीशु ने उनसे कहा, “यदि तुम अंधे होते तो पापी न ठहरते परन्तु अब कहते हो, कि हम देखते हैं, इसलिए तुम्हारा पाप बना रहता है।
