John 9
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
| وقتی عیسی از محلی می‌گذشت، کور مادرزادی را دید. |
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
| شاگردان از او پرسیدند: «استاد، این شخص چرا کور به دنیا آمده است؟ آیا در اثر گناهان خود او بوده است یا در نتیجهٔ گناهان پدر و مادرش؟» |
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.
| عیسی جواب داد: «این به خاطر گناهان خودش یا والدینش نیست. اما این اتفاق افتاد تا قدرت خدا در او دیده شود. |
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].
| تا فرصت باقیست من باید وظیفه‌ای را که فرستندۀ من به عهدهٔ من گذاشته است انجام دهم، زیرا وقت کمی تا شب باقی مانده و در آن نمی‌توان کاری انجام داد. |
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].”
| من تا وقتی در این جهان هستم، به آن نور می‌بخشم!» |
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.
| آنگاه آب دهان بر زمین انداخت و با آن گِل درست کرد و به چشمان کور مالید، |
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!
| و به او فرمود: «به حوض سیلوحا برو و چشمانت را بشوی.» (سیلوحا به زبان عبری به معنی «فرستاده» می‌باشد.) آن کور نیز رفت، و چشمان خود را در آن حوض شست و بینا بازگشت. |
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?”
| همسایه‌ها و کسانی که او را به عنوان فقیری نابینا می‌شناختند، از یکدیگر پرسیدند: «آیا این همان گدای کور است؟» |
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!”
| بعضی گفتند همانست و بعضی دیگر گفتند: «نه، غیرممکن است که او باشد. اما شباهت زیادی به او دارد.» مرد فقیر گفت: «من همانم.» |
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
| از او پرسیدند: «پس چه شد که بینا شدی؟» |
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.”
| گفت: «شخصی که مردم او را عیسی می‌خوانند، گِل درست کرد، به چشمانم مالید و گفت که به حوض سیلوحا بروم و گِل را از چشمانم بشویم. من هم رفتم و شستم و بینا شدم.» |
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
| پرسیدند: «او حالا کجاست؟» جواب داد: «نمی‌دانم.» |
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
| پس او را نزد فریسیان بردند. |
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]).
| آن روز که عیسی گِل ساخت و او را شفا داد، شَبّات بود. |
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!”
| فریسیان جریان را از او پرسیدند. او نیز گفت: «او گِل درست کرد و به چشمانم مالید و وقتی چشمانم را شستم، بینا شدم.» |
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.
| بعضی از فریسیان گفتند: «اگر چنین باشد، عیسی از جانب خدا نیست، زیرا روز شبّات کار می‌کند.» دیگران گفتند: «ولی چگونه یک شخص گناهکار می‌تواند چنین معجزه‌ای بکند؟» پس بین ایشان اختلاف افتاد. |
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].
| آنگاه فریسی‌ها بازگشتند و به آن مردی که قبلاً نابینا بود، گفتند: «تو خودت چه می‌گویی؟ این شخص که چشمانت را باز کرد، کیست؟» جواب داد: «به نظر من باید پیامبری از طرف خدا باشد.» |
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.
| سران قوم یهود که نمی‌خواستند باور کنند که او نابینا بوده، پدر و مادرش را خواستند |
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?”
| و از آنها پرسیدند: «آیا این پسر شماست؟ آیا درست است که کور به دنیا آمده؟ پس چطور چشمانش باز شد؟» |
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
| پدر و مادرش جواب دادند: «بله، می‌دانیم که این پسر ماست و همینطور می‌دانیم که کور به دنیا آمده است. |
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!”
| ولی نه می‌دانیم چطور چشمانش باز شد و نه می‌دانیم چه کسی این کار را برایش انجام داده است. از خودش بپرسید. او بالغ است و می‌تواند خودش همه چیز را بگوید.» |
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].
| پدر و مادر او از ترس سران قوم یهود چنین گفتند، چون ایشان اعلام کرده بودند که هر که بگوید عیسی همان مسیح است، او را از تمام مزایای جامعه محروم خواهند کرد. |
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
| از همین رو بود که والدینش گفتند: «او بالغ است؛ از خودش بپرسید.» |
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.”
| فریسی‌ها دوباره آن شخص را که نابینا بود خواستند و گفتند: «برای این شفا خدا را تمجید کن نه عیسی را، چون ما می‌دانیم که عیسی آدم گناهکاری است.» |
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!”
| جواب داد: «اینکه او گناهکار است یا نه، من نمی‌دانم. فقط می‌دانم که کور بودم و اکنون بینا هستم!» |
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
| از او پرسیدند: «خوب، عیسی با تو چه کرد؟ چطور چشمانت را باز کرد؟» |
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]).”
| جواب داد: «من یک بار به شما گفتم، مگر نشنیدید؟ چرا می‌خواهید دوباره تعریف کنم؟ آیا شما هم می‌خواهید شاگرد او بشوید؟» |
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
| آنها او را دشنام داده، گفتند: «تو خودت شاگرد او هستی. ما شاگرد موسی می‌باشیم. |
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!”
| ما می‌دانیم که خدا با موسی سخن می‌گفت. اما دربارهٔ این شخص، هیچ چیز نمی‌دانیم.» |
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!
| جواب داد: «این خیلی عجیب است که او می‌تواند کوری را بینا کند و شما دربارهٔ او هیچ چیز نمی‌دانید؟ |
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.
| همه می‌دانند که خدا به دعای اشخاص شیاد گوش نمی‌دهد، بلکه دعای کسی را می‌شنود که خداترس باشد و ارادهٔ او را انجام دهد. |
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)
| از آغاز جهان تا به حال هیچوقت کسی پیدا نشده که بتواند چشمان کور مادرزاد را باز کند. (aiōn g165) |
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
| اگر این شخص از طرف خدا نبود، چگونه می‌توانست چنین کاری بکند؟» |
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].
| ایشان فریاد زدند: «تو سراپا در گناه متولد شده‌ای؛ حال می‌خواهی به ما درس بدهی؟» پس او را بیرون کردند. |
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]?”
| وقتی این خبر به گوش عیسی رسید، او را پیدا کرد و فرمود: «آیا تو به پسر انسان ایمان داری؟» |
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
| جواب داد: «سَروَرم، بگو او کیست، چون می‌خواهم به او ایمان بیاورم.» |
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
| عیسی فرمود: «تو او را دیده‌ای و هم اکنون با تو سخن می‌گوید.» |
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
| گفت: «بله، ای خداوند، ایمان دارم.» و عیسی را پرستش کرد. |
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.”
| عیسی به او فرمود: «من به این جهان آمده‌ام تا داوری کنم، تا به نابینایان بینایی ببخشم و به آنانی که تصور می‌کنند می‌بینند، نشان دهم که کورند.» |
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?”
| بعضی از فریسیان که آنجا بودند، گفتند: «آیا منظورت این است که ما کوریم؟» |
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.”
| عیسی جواب داد: «اگر کور بودید، گناهی نمی‌داشتید؛ اما حالا که ادعا می‌کنید بینایید، گناهکار باقی می‌مانید. |
