John 9
1 As He passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
| ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܟܪܤ ܐܡܗ |
2 So His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned--this man or his parents--that he was born blind?"
| ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܪܒܢ ܡܢܘ ܚܛܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܘ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܟܕ ܤܡܐ ܢܬܝܠܕ |
3 "Neither he nor his parents sinned," answered Jesus, "but he was born blind in order that God's mercy might be openly shown in him.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܗܘ ܚܛܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܬܚܙܘܢ ܒܗ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
4 We must do the works of Him who sent me while there is daylight. Night is coming on, when no one can work.
| ܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܥܕ ܐܝܡܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܬܐ ܠܠܝܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܦܠܚ |
5 When I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."
| ܟܡܐ ܕܒܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ |
6 After thus speaking, He spat on the ground, and then, kneading the dust and spittle into clay, He smeared the clay over the man's eyes and said to him,
| ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܪܩ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܓܒܠ ܛܝܢܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܩܗ ܘܛܫ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ |
7 "Go and wash in the pool of Siloam" --the name means 'Sent.' So he went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܠ ܐܫܝܓ ܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܫܝܠܘܚܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܫܝܓ ܘܐܬܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ |
8 His neighbours, therefore, and the other people to whom he had been a familiar object because he was a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"
| ܫܒܒܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܕܚܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܕܪ |
9 "Yes it is," replied some of them. "No it is not," said others, "but he is like him." His own statement was, "I am the man."
| ܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡܐ ܕܡܐ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ |
10 "How then were your eyes opened?" they asked.
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܝܟ |
11 "He whose name is Jesus," he answered, "made clay and smeared my eyes with it, and then told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and obtained sight."
| ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܒܕ ܛܝܢܐ ܘܛܫ ܠܝ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܙܠ ܐܫܝܓ ܒܡܝܐ ܕܫܝܠܘܚܐ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܐܫܝܓܬ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܝ |
12 "Where is he?" they inquired, but the man did not know.
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ |
13 They brought him to the Pharisees--the man who had been blind.
| ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܦܪܝܫܐ |
14 Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened the man's eyes was the Sabbath.
| ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܢ ܫܒܬܐ ܟܕ ܥܒܕ ܛܝܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ |
15 So the Pharisees renewed their questioning as to how he had obtained his sight. "He put clay on my eyes," he replied, "and I washed, and now I can see."
| ܘܬܘܒ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܝܢܐ ܤܡ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܝ ܘܐܫܝܓܬ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܝ |
16 This led some of the Pharisees to say, "That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it possible for a bad man to do such miracles?" argued others.
| ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܛܪ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܘܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ |
17 And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, "What is your account of him? --for he opened your eyes." "He is a Prophet," he replied.
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܠܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܦܬܚ ܠܟ ܥܝܢܝܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ |
18 The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him--that he had been blind and had obtained his sight--until they called his parents and asked them,
| ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܩܪܘ ܠܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܕܚܙܐ |
19 "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then that he can now see?"
| ܘܫܐܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܢ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܕ ܤܡܐ ܐܬܝܠܕ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܚܙܐ |
20 "We know," replied the parents, "that this is our son and that he was born blind;
| ܥܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܗܢܘ ܒܪܢ ܘܕܟܕ ܤܡܐ ܐܬܝܠܕ |
21 but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it."
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܘ ܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܥܠ ܠܗ ܠܫܢܘܗܝ ܠܗ ܫܐܠܘ ܗܘ ܚܠܦ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܡܠܠ |
22 Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue.
| ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܦܤܩܘ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܘܕܐ ܒܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܢܦܩܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ |
23 That was why his parents said, "He is of full age: ask him himself."
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܥܠ ܠܗ ܠܫܢܘܗܝ ܠܗ ܫܐܠܘ |
24 A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner."
| ܘܩܪܐܘܗܝ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܘ |
25 "Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know," he replied; "one thing I know--that I was once blind and that now I can see."
| ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ |
26 "What did he do to you?" they asked; "how did he open your eyes?"
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܘܒ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܦܬܚ ܠܟ ܥܝܢܝܟ |
27 "I have told you already," he replied, "and you did not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also mean to be disciples of his?"
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܠܗ |
28 Then they railed at him, and said, "You are that man's disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܨܚܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܗ ܕܗܘ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܡܘܫܐ |
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this fellow we do not know where he comes from."
| ܘܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܥܡ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܠܠ ܠܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ |
30 "Why, this is marvellous!" the man replied; "you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes!
| ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܡܬܕܡܪܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܝܢܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܦܬܚ |
31 We know that God does not listen to bad people, but that if any one is a God-fearing man and obeys Him, to him He listens.
| ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܕܚܛܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܕܚܠ ܡܢܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܠܗܘ ܗܘ ܫܡܥ |
32 From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind from his birth. (aiōn g165)
| ܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܕܦܬܚ ܐܢܫ ܥܝܢܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܕܐܬܝܠܕ (aiōn g165) |
33 Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing."
| ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ |
34 "You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin, and do you teach us?" And they put him out of the synagogue.
| ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܟܠܟ ܒܚܛܗܐ ܐܬܝܠܕܬ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܠܦ ܐܢܬ ܠܢ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ |
35 Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
| ܘܫܡܥ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܘܐܫܟܚܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܒܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
36 "Who is He, Sir?" replied the man. "Tell me, so that I may believe in Him."
| ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐܤܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܡܪܝ ܕܐܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ |
37 "You have seen Him," said Jesus; "and not only so: He is now speaking to you."
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܝܬܝܗܝ ܘܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܗܘܝܘ |
38 "I believe, Sir," he said. And he threw himself at His feet.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܘܢܦܠ ܤܓܕ ܠܗ |
39 "I came into this world," said Jesus, "to judge men, that those who do not see may see, and that those who do see may become blind."
| ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܕܝܢܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܢܤܡܘܢ |
40 These words were heard by those of the Pharisees who were present, and they asked Him, "Are we also blind?"
| ܘܫܡܥܘ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܚܢܢ |
41 "If you were blind," answered Jesus, "you would have no sin; but as a matter of fact you boast that you see. So your sin remains!"
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܠܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܚܙܝܢܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܛܝܬܟܘܢ ܩܝܡܐ ܗܝ |
