< Κατα Ιωαννην 9 >
1 Καὶ παράγων εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον τυφλὸν ἐκ γενετῆς.
And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· ῥαββί, τίς ἥμαρτεν, οὗτος ἢ οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ, ἵνα τυφλὸς γεννηθῇ;
And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 Ἀπεκρίθη (ὁ *k*) Ἰησοῦς· οὔτε οὗτος ἥμαρτεν οὔτε οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα φανερωθῇ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ.
Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4 (ἡμᾶς *N(K)O*) δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πέμψαντός με ἕως ἡμέρα ἐστίν· ἔρχεται νύξ, ὅτε οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐργάζεσθαι.
We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
5 ὅταν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ὦ, φῶς εἰμι τοῦ κόσμου.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6 ταῦτα εἰπὼν ἔπτυσεν χαμαὶ καὶ ἐποίησεν πηλὸν ἐκ τοῦ πτύσματος καὶ (ἐπέχρισεν *NK(O)*) (αὐτοῦ *no*) τὸν πηλὸν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς (τοῦ τυφλοῦ *k*)
When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,
7 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ὕπαγε νίψαι εἰς τὴν κολυμβήθραν τοῦ Σιλωάμ ὃ ἑρμηνεύεται ἀπεσταλμένος. ἀπῆλθεν οὖν καὶ ἐνίψατο καὶ ἦλθεν βλέπων.
and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
8 Οἱ οὖν γείτονες καὶ οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν τὸ πρότερον ὅτι (προσαίτης *N(K)O*) ἦν, ἔλεγον· οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ καθήμενος καὶ προσαιτῶν;
The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?"
9 ἄλλοι ἔλεγον ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν, ἄλλοι ἔλεγον· (οὐχί, *no*) (ἀλλ᾽ *N(k)O*) (ὅτι *k*) ὅμοιος αὐτῷ ἐστιν. ἐκεῖνος ἔλεγεν ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι.
Some said, "It is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
10 ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ· πῶς (οὖν *NO*) ἠνεῴχθησάν σου οἱ ὀφθαλμοί;
They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
11 ἀπεκρίθη ἐκεῖνος (καὶ εἶπεν· *k*) (ὁ *no*) ἄνθρωπος (ὁ *no*) λεγόμενος Ἰησοῦς πηλὸν ἐποίησεν καὶ ἐπέχρισέν μου τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ εἶπέν μοι (ὅτι *no*) ὕπαγε εἰς (τοῦ κολυμβήθραν *k*) (τὸν *N(k)O*) Σιλωὰμ καὶ νίψαι. ἀπελθὼν (οὖν *N(K)O*) καὶ νιψάμενος ἀνέβλεψα.
He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
12 (καὶ *N(k)O*) εἶπαν αὐτῷ· ποῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος; λέγει· οὐκ οἶδα.
Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13 Ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς Φαρισαίους, τόν ποτε τυφλόν·
They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 ἦν δὲ σάββατον (ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ *NO*) (ὅτε *k*) τὸν πηλὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς.
Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 πάλιν οὖν ἠρώτων αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι πῶς ἀνέβλεψεν. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πηλὸν ἐπέθηκέν μου ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ ἐνιψάμην καὶ βλέπω.
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."
16 ἔλεγον οὖν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων τινές· οὐκ ἔστιν οὗτος παρὰ (τοῦ *k*) θεοῦ ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὅτι τὸ σάββατον οὐ τηρεῖ. ἄλλοι (δὲ *no*) ἔλεγον· πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλὸς τοιαῦτα σημεῖα ποιεῖν; καὶ σχίσμα ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς.
Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.
17 λέγουσιν (οὖν *NO*) τῷ τυφλῷ πάλιν· τί σὺ λέγεις περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὅτι προφήτης ἐστίν.
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 οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἦν τυφλὸς καὶ ἀνέβλεψεν ἕως ὅτου ἐφώνησαν τοὺς γονεῖς αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀναβλέψαντος,
The Jewish leaders therefore did not 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,
19 καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτοὺς λέγοντες· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμῶν ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι τυφλὸς ἐγεννήθη; πῶς οὖν βλέπει ἄρτι;
and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 ἀπεκρίθησαν (οὖν *N(k)*) (αὐτοῖς *k*) οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπαν· οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ὅτι τυφλὸς ἐγεννήθη·
His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 πῶς δὲ νῦν βλέπει οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἢ τίς ἤνοιξεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἡμεῖς οὐκ οἴδαμεν· αὐτὸν ἐρωτήσατε, (αὐτὸς *k*) ἡλικίαν ἔχει· αὐτὸς περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λαλήσει.
but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."
22 Ταῦτα εἶπαν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐφοβοῦντο τοὺς Ἰουδαίους· ἤδη γὰρ συνετέθειντο οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἵνα ἐάν τις αὐτὸν ὁμολογήσῃ χριστόν, ἀποσυνάγωγος γένηται.
His parents said these things because they feared the Jewish leaders; for the Jewish leaders had already agreed that if anyone would confess him as the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 διὰ τοῦτο οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ εἶπαν ὅτι ἡλικίαν ἔχει, αὐτὸν (ἐπερωτήσατε. *N(k)O*)
Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
24 Ἐφώνησαν οὖν τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐκ δευτέρου, ὃς ἦν τυφλὸς καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· δὸς δόξαν τῷ θεῷ· ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλός ἐστιν.
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."
25 Ἀπεκρίθη οὖν ἐκεῖνος (καὶ εἶπεν· *k*) εἰ ἁμαρτωλός ἐστιν οὐκ οἶδα· ἓν οἶδα ὅτι τυφλὸς ὢν ἄρτι βλέπω.
He therefore answered, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."
26 εἶπον (οὖν *N(k)O*) αὐτῷ (πάλιν· *k*) τί ἐποίησέν σοι; πῶς ἤνοιξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς;
They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27 Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς· εἶπον ὑμῖν ἤδη, καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε. τί πάλιν θέλετε ἀκούειν; μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς θέλετε αὐτοῦ μαθηταὶ γενέσθαι;
He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not also want to become his disciples, do you?"
28 (καὶ *n(o)*) (οἱ δὲ *o*) ἐλοιδόρησαν (οὖν *K*) αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον· σὺ μαθητὴς εἶ ἐκείνου, ἡμεῖς δὲ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐσμὲν μαθηταί.
They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν ὅτι Μωϋσεῖ λελάληκεν ὁ θεός, τοῦτον δὲ οὐκ οἴδαμεν πόθεν ἐστίν.
We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
30 ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἐν τούτῳ γὰρ (τὸ *no*) θαυμαστόν ἐστιν ὅτι ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε πόθεν ἐστίν, καὶ (ἤνοιξέν *N(k)O*) μου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς.
The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 οἴδαμεν (δὲ *k*) ὅτι ἁμαρτωλῶν ὁ θεὸς οὐκ ἀκούει, ἀλλ᾽ ἐάν τις θεοσεβὴς ᾖ καὶ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιῇ, τούτου ἀκούει.
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.
32 ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἠκούσθη ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν τις ὀφθαλμοὺς τυφλοῦ γεγεννημένου. (aiōn )
Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn )
33 εἰ μὴ ἦν οὗτος παρὰ θεοῦ, οὐκ ἠδύνατο ποιεῖν οὐδέν.
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
34 ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· ἐν ἁμαρτίαις σὺ ἐγεννήθης ὅλος καὶ σὺ διδάσκεις ἡμᾶς; καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω.
They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out.
35 ἤκουσεν (ὁ *ko*) Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω, καὶ εὑρὼν αὐτὸν εἶπεν (αὐτῷ· *ko*) σὺ πιστεύεις εἰς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ (ἀνθρώπου; *N(K)O*)
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36 ἀπεκρίθη ἐκεῖνος καὶ εἶπεν· (καὶ *no*) τίς ἐστιν, κύριε, ἵνα πιστεύσω εἰς αὐτόν;
He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
37 εἶπεν (δὲ *k*) αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· καὶ ἑώρακας αὐτόν, καὶ ὁ λαλῶν μετὰ σοῦ ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν.
Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
38 ὁ δὲ ἔφη· πιστεύω, κύριε, καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ.
He said, "Lord, I believe." and he worshiped him.
39 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰς κρίμα ἐγὼ εἰς τὸν κόσμον τοῦτον ἦλθον, ἵνα οἱ μὴ βλέποντες βλέπωσιν καὶ οἱ βλέποντες τυφλοὶ γένωνται.
Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."
40 (Καὶ *k*) ἤκουσαν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων ταῦτα οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὄντες καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· μὴ καὶ ἡμεῖς τυφλοί ἐσμεν;
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
41 εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ τυφλοὶ ἦτε, οὐκ ἂν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν. νῦν δὲ λέγετε ὅτι βλέπομεν, ἡ (οὖν *K*) ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει.
Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
