< John 9 >

1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
ଯୀଶୁ ଯାଉଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଜଣେ ଜନ୍ମାନ୍ଧକୁ ଦେଖିଲେ।
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
ଆଉ, ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ହେ ଗୁରୁ, କିଏ ପାପ କରିବାରୁ ଏ ଅନ୍ଧ ହୋଇ ଜନ୍ମ ହେଲା? ନିଜେ ନା ଏହାର ପିତାମାତା?
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.
ଯୀଶୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, “ଏ କିମ୍ବା ଏହାର ପିତାମାତା ପାପ କଲେ ନାହିଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ କର୍ମ ଯେପରି ଏହାଠାରେ ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହୁଏ, ଏନିମନ୍ତେ ଏହା ଘଟିଅଛି।
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].
ଦିନ ଥାଉ ଥାଉ ମୋହର ପ୍ରେରଣକର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କ କର୍ମ କରିବା ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ କର୍ତ୍ତବ୍ୟ; ଯେଉଁ ସମୟରେ କେହି କର୍ମ କରିପାରେ ନାହିଁ, ଏପରି ରାତ୍ରି ଆସୁଅଛି।
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].”
ମୁଁ ଯେପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଜଗତରେ ଅଛି, ସେପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ମୁଁ ଜଗତର ଜ୍ୟୋତିଃ।”
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.
ଏହା କହି ସେ ମାଟିରେ ଛେପ ପକାଇ ସେହି ଛେପରେ କାଦୁଅ କଲେ, ଆଉ ତାହାର ଦୁଇ ଆଖିରେ କାଦୁଅ ଲଗାଇଲେ ଏବଂ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ,
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!
ଯାଅ, ଶୀଲୋହ (ଅନୁବାଦ କଲେ, ଏହାର ଅର୍ଥ ପ୍ରେରିତ) “ପୋଖରୀରେ ଧୋଇ ହୁଅ।” ସେଥିରେ ସେ ବାହାରିଯାଇ ଧୋଇ ହେଲା ଓ ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ପାଇ ଚାଲିଗଲା।
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?”
ତେଣୁ ପ୍ରତିବାସୀମାନେ, ପୁଣି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ପୂର୍ବେ ଜଣେ ଭିକାରୀ ବୋଲି ଦେଖିଥିଲେ, ସେମାନେ ପଚାରିଲେ, ଯେ ବସି ଭିକ ମାଗୁଥିଲା, ଏ କଅଣ ସେହି ନୁହେଁ?
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!”
କେହି କେହି କହିଲେ, ଏ ସେ; ଆଉ କେହି କେହି କହିଲେ, ନା, ଏ ତାହା ପରି। ସେ କହିଲା, ମୁଁ ସେହି।
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
ସେଥିରେ ସେମାନେ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ, ତାହାହେଲେ ତୋର ଆଖି କିପରି ଫିଟିଗଲା?
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.”
ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲା, ଯାହାଙ୍କୁ ଯୀଶୁ ବୋଲି କହନ୍ତି, ସେହି ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି କାଦୁଅ କରି ମୋହର ଦୁଇ ଆଖିରେ ଲଗାଇଲେ ଏବଂ ମୋତେ କହିଲେ, ଶୀଲୋହ ପୋଖରୀକୁ ଯାଇ ଧୋଇ ହୁଅ; ତେଣୁ ମୁଁ ବାହାରିଯାଇ ଧୋଇ ହେଲି ଓ ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ପାଇଲି।
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
ସେମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ସେ କାହିଁ? ସେ କହିଲା, ମୁଁ ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ।
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
ଯେ ପୂର୍ବରେ ଅନ୍ଧ ଥିଲା, ସେମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଆଣିଲେ।
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]).
ଯୀଶୁ ଯେଉଁ ଦିନ କାଦୁଅ କରି ତାହାର ଆଖି ଫିଟାଇ ଦେଇଥିଲେ, ସେହି ଦିନ ବିଶ୍ରାମବାର।
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!”
ଅତଏବ, ସେ କିପରି ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ପାଇଲା, ଏହା ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ତାହାକୁ ଆଉ ଥରେ ପଚାରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ। ସେଥିରେ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, ସେ ମୋହର ଆଖିରେ କାଦୁଅ ଲଗାଇଦେଲେ, ପରେ ମୁଁ ଧୋଇ ହେଲି ଓ ଦେଖି ପାରୁଅଛି।
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.
ତହୁଁ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ କେହି କେହି କହିଲେ, ସେ ଲୋକଟା ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିକଟରୁ ଆସି ନାହିଁ, କାରଣ ସେ ବିଶ୍ରାମବାର ପାଳନ କରୁ ନାହିଁ। ଆଉ, କେହି କେହି କହିଲେ, ପାପୀ ଲୋକ କିପରି ଏହି ପ୍ରକାର ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟକର୍ମସବୁ କରିପାରେ? ଏହିପରି ଭାବେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ମତଭେଦ ହେଲା।
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].
ତେଣୁ ସେମାନେ ଆହୁରି ଥରେ ସେହି ଅନ୍ଧ ଲୋକଟିକୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ସେ ଯେ ତୋର ଆଖି ଫିଟାଇଲା, ଏଥିରେ ତୁ ତାʼ ବିଷୟରେ କଅଣ କହୁଅଛୁ? ସେ କହିଲା, ସେ ଜଣେ ଭାବବାଦୀ।
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.
ସେ ଯେ ଅନ୍ଧ ଥିଲା ଆଉ ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ପାଇଅଛି, ସେହି ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ପାଇଥିବା ଲୋକର ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କୁ ଡାକି ନ ପଚାରିବା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ କେତେକ ଯିହୁଦୀ ନେତାମାନେ ତାହା ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ଏହା ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କଲେ ନାହିଁ।
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?”
ସେମାନେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଯେଉଁ ପୁଅ ଅନ୍ଧ ହୋଇ ଜନ୍ମ ହୋଇଥିଲା ବୋଲି କହିଥାଅ, ଏ କଅଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସେହି ପୁଅ? ତାହାହେଲେ ସେ କିପରି ଏବେ ଦେଖୁଅଛି?
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
ସେଥିରେ ତାହାର ପିତାମାତା ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ଏ ଯେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପୁଅ ଓ ଏ ଯେ ଅନ୍ଧ ହୋଇ ଜନ୍ମ ହୋଇଥିଲା, ଏହା ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣୁ;
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!”
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ କିପରି ଏବେ ଦେଖୁଅଛି, ତାହା ଜାଣୁ ନାହୁଁ, କିମ୍ବା କିଏ ତାହାର ଆଖି ଫିଟାଇଦେଲେ, ତାହା ମଧ୍ୟ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣୁ ନାହୁଁ; ତାହାକୁ ପଚାରନ୍ତୁ, ସେ ତ ବୟସପ୍ରାପ୍ତ, ସେ ଆପଣା କଥା ଆପେ କହିବ।
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].
ତାହାର ପିତାମାତା ଯିହୁଦୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଭୟ କରୁଥିବାରୁ ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ କଥା କହିଲେ, କାରଣ ଯଦି କେହି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ବୋଲି ସ୍ୱୀକାର କରେ, ତାହାହେଲେ ସେ ସମାଜଗୃହରୁ ବାହାର କରାଯିବ ବୋଲି ସେଥିପୂର୍ବେ ଯିହୁଦୀମାନେ ଏକମତ ହୋଇଥିଲେ।
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
ଅତଏବ, ତାହାର ପିତାମାତା କହିଲେ, ସେ ବୟସପ୍ରାପ୍ତ, ତାହାକୁ ପଚାରନ୍ତୁ।
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.”
ସେଥିରେ ପୂର୍ବରେ ଅନ୍ଧ ଥିବା ଲୋକକୁ ସେମାନେ ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟ ଥର ଡାକି କହିଲେ, ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଗୌରବ ଦିଅ, ସେ ଲୋକଟା ଯେ ପାପୀ, ଏହା ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣୁ।
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!”
ସେଥିରେ ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲା, ସେ ପାପୀ କି ନୁହେଁ, ମୁଁ ତାହା ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ; ମୁଁ ଗୋଟିଏ ବିଷୟ ଜାଣେ, ମୁଁ ଅନ୍ଧ ଥିଲି, ଏବେ ଦେଖି ପାରୁଅଛି।
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
ତେଣୁ ସେମାନେ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ, ସେ ତୋତେ କଅଣ କଲା? ସେ କିପ୍ରକାରେ ତୋର ଆଖି ଫିଟାଇଦେଲା?
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]).”
ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲା, ମୁଁ କହିସାରିଲିଣି, ଆଉ ଆପଣମାନେ ଶୁଣିଲେ ନାହିଁ; କାହିଁକି ଆଉ ଥରେ ଶୁଣିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଅଛନ୍ତି? ଆପଣମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ କଅଣ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ୟ ହେବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଅଛନ୍ତି?
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
ସେଥିରେ ସେମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ଗାଳି ଦେଇ କହିଲେ, ତୁ ତାହାର ଶିଷ୍ୟ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମୋଶାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ୟ।
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!”
ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣୁ ଯେ, ଈଶ୍ବର ମୋଶାଙ୍କୁ କଥା କହିଅଛନ୍ତି, କିନ୍ତୁ ଏ ଲୋକଟା କେଉଁଠାରୁ ଆସିଅଛି, ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣୁ ନାହିଁ।
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!
ସେହି ଲୋକଟି ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲା, ସେ ମୋହର ଆଖି ଫିଟାଇଦେଲେ, ଆଉ ସେ କେଉଁଠାରୁ ଆସିଅଛନ୍ତି, ତାହା ଆପଣମାନେ ଜାଣନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ, ଏ ତ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟ କଥା।
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.
ଈଶ୍ବର ଯେ ପାପୀମାନଙ୍କ କଥା ଶୁଣନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ, ଏହା ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣୁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଯଦି କେହି ଈଶ୍ବରଭକ୍ତ ହୋଇ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଇଚ୍ଛା ସାଧନ କରେ, ତାହାହେଲେ ସେ ତାହାର କଥା ଶୁଣନ୍ତି।
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 g165)
କେହି ଯେ ଜନ୍ମାନ୍ଧର ଚକ୍ଷୁ ଫିଟାଇଦେଲା, ଏହା ତ କଦାପି ଶୁଣାଯାଇ ନ ଥିଲା। (aiōn g165)
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
ଏ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଆସି ନ ଥିଲେ କିଛି କରିପାରନ୍ତେ ନାହିଁ।
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].
ସେମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ତୁ ତ ପୁରା ପାପରେ ଜନ୍ମ ହେଲୁ, ଆଉ ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦେଉଅଛୁ? ସେଥିରେ ସେମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ବାହାର କରିଦେଲେ।
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]?”
ସେମାନେ ଯେ ତାହାକୁ ବାହାର କରିଦେଇଅଛନ୍ତି, ଯୀଶୁ ଏହା ଶୁଣି ତାହାର ଦେଖା ପାଇ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ କଅଣ ମନୁଷ୍ୟପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କଠାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରୁଅଛ?”
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲା, ହେ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ସେ କିଏ କହନ୍ତୁ, ଯେପରି ମୁଁ ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରିବି?
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖିଅଛ, ଆଉ ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ କଥା କହୁଅଛନ୍ତି, ସେ ସେହି।”
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
ସେଥିରେ ସେ କହିଲା, ପ୍ରଭୁ ମୁଁ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରୁଅଛି; ଆଉ, ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଣାମ କଲା।
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.”
ପୁଣି, ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, “ଦେଖୁ ନ ଥିବା ଲୋକେ ଯେପରି ଦେଖନ୍ତି ଓ ଦେଖୁଥିବା ଲୋକେ ଯେପରି ଅନ୍ଧ ହୁଅନ୍ତି, ଏହି ବିଚାର ନିମନ୍ତେ ମୁଁ ଜଗତକୁ ଆସିଅଛି।”
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?”
ଫାରୂଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ ଥିଲେ, ସେମାନେ ଏହା ଶୁଣି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ କଅଣ ଅନ୍ଧ?
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.”
ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଯଦି ଅନ୍ଧ ହୋଇଥାଆନ୍ତ, ତାହାହେଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପାପ ନ ଥାଆନ୍ତା, କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଦେଖୁଅଛୁ, ଏହା ଏବେ କହୁଅଛ; ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପାପରେ ରହୁଅଛ।”
