John 9
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
tataH paraM yIshurgachChan mArgamadhye janmAndhaM naram apashyat|
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
tataH shiShyAstam apR^ichChan he guro naroyaM svapApena vA svapitrAH pApenAndho. ajAyata?
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
tataH sa pratyuditavAn etasya vAsya pitroH pApAd etAdR^ishobhUda iti nahi kintvanena yatheshvarasya karmma prakAshyate taddhetoreva|
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
dine tiShThati matprerayituH karmma mayA karttavyaM yadA kimapi karmma na kriyate tAdR^ishI nishAgachChati|
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
ahaM yAvatkAlaM jagati tiShThAmi tAvatkAlaM jagato jyotiHsvarUposmi|
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
ityukttA bhUmau niShThIvaM nikShipya tena pa NkaM kR^itavAn
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
pashchAt tatpa Nkena tasyAndhasya netre pralipya tamityAdishat gatvA shilohe. arthAt preritanAmni sarasi snAhi| tatondho gatvA tatrAsnAt tataH prannachakShu rbhUtvA vyAghuTyAgAt|
8 Therefore the neighbours and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
apara ncha samIpavAsino lokA ye cha taM pUrvvamandham apashyan te bakttum Arabhanta yondhaloko vartmanyupavishyAbhikShata sa evAyaM janaH kiM na bhavati?
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
kechidavadan sa eva kechidavochan tAdR^isho bhavati kintu sa svayamabravIt sa evAhaM bhavAmi|
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
ataeva te. apR^ichChan tvaM kathaM dR^iShTiM pAptavAn?
11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
tataH sovadad yIshanAmaka eko jano mama nayane pa Nkena pralipya ityAj nApayat shilohakAsAraM gatvA tatra snAhi| tatastatra gatvA mayi snAte dR^iShTimahaM labdhavAn|
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
tadA te. avadan sa pumAn kutra? tenokttaM nAhaM jAnAmi|
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
aparaM tasmin pUrvvAndhe jane phirUshinAM nikaTam AnIte sati phirUshinopi tamapR^ichChan kathaM dR^iShTiM prAptosi?
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
tataH sa kathitavAn sa pa Nkena mama netre. alimpat pashchAd snAtvA dR^iShTimalabhe|
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
kintu yIshu rvishrAmavAre karddamaM kR^itvA tasya nayane prasanne. akarod itikAraNAt katipayaphirUshino. avadan
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division amongst them.
sa pumAn IshvarAnna yataH sa vishrAmavAraM na manyate| tatonye kechit pratyavadan pApI pumAn kim etAdR^isham AshcharyyaM karmma karttuM shaknoti?
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

18 The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
sa dR^iShTim AptavAn iti yihUdIyAstasya dR^iShTiM prAptasya janasya pitro rmukhAd ashrutvA na pratyayan|
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
ataeva te tAvapR^ichChan yuvayo ryaM putraM janmAndhaM vadathaH sa kimayaM? tarhIdAnIM kathaM draShTuM shaknoti?
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
tatastasya pitarau pratyavochatAm ayam AvayoH putra A janerandhashcha tadapyAvAM jAnIvaH
21 but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
atastasya pitarau vyAharatAm eSha vayaHprApta enaM pR^ichChata|
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
tadA te punashcha taM pUrvvAndham AhUya vyAharan Ishvarasya guNAn vada eSha manuShyaH pApIti vayaM jAnImaH|
25 He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
tadA sa ukttavAn sa pApI na veti nAhaM jAne pUrvAmandha Asamaham adhunA pashyAmIti mAtraM jAnAmi|
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
te punarapR^ichChan sa tvAM prati kimakarot? kathaM netre prasanne. akarot?
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
tataH sovAdId ekakR^itvokathayaM yUyaM na shR^iNutha tarhi kutaH punaH shrotum ichChatha? yUyamapi kiM tasya shiShyA bhavitum ichChatha?
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
tadA te taM tiraskR^itya vyAharan tvaM tasya shiShyo vayaM mUsAH shiShyAH|
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
mUsAvaktreNeshvaro jagAda tajjAnImaH kintveSha kutratyaloka iti na jAnImaH|
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
sovadad eSha mama lochane prasanne. akarot tathApi kutratyaloka iti yUyaM na jAnItha etad AshcharyyaM bhavati|
31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
IshvaraH pApinAM kathAM na shR^iNoti kintu yo janastasmin bhaktiM kR^itvA tadiShTakriyAM karoti tasyaiva kathAM shR^iNoti etad vayaM jAnImaH|
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
kopi manuShyo janmAndhAya chakShuShI adadAt jagadArambhAd etAdR^ishIM kathAM kopi kadApi nAshR^iNot| (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
te vyAharan tvaM pApAd ajAyathAH kimasmAn tvaM shikShayasi? pashchAtte taM bahirakurvvan|
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
tadanantaraM yihUdIyaiH sa bahirakriyata yIshuriti vArttAM shrutvA taM sAkShAt prApya pR^iShTavAn Ishvarasya putre tvaM vishvasiShi?
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
tadA sa pratyavochat he prabho sa ko yat tasminnahaM vishvasimi?
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
tato yIshuH kathitavAn tvaM taM dR^iShTavAn tvayA sAkaM yaH kathaM kathayati saeva saH|
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshipped him.
tadA he prabho vishvasimItyuktvA sa taM praNAmat|
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgement, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
pashchAd yIshuH kathitavAn nayanahInA nayanAni prApnuvanti nayanavantashchAndhA bhavantItyabhiprAyeNa jagadAham AgachCham|
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
etat shrutvA nikaTasthAH katipayAH phirUshino vyAharan vayamapi kimandhAH?
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
