Iohannem 9
1 Et præteriens Jesus vidit hominem cæcum a nativitate:
And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 et interrogaverunt eum discipuli ejus: Rabbi, quis peccavit, hic, aut parentes ejus, ut cæcus nasceretur?
And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 Respondit Jesus: Neque hic peccavit, neque parentes ejus: sed ut manifestentur opera Dei in illo.
Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4 Me oportet operari opera ejus qui misit me, donec dies est: venit nox, quando nemo potest operari:
We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
5 quamdiu sum in mundo, lux sum mundi.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6 Hæc cum dixisset, exspuit in terram, et fecit lutum ex sputo, et linivit lutum super oculos ejus,
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 et dixit ei: Vade, lava in natatoria Siloë (quod interpretatur Missus). Abiit ergo, et lavit, et venit videns.
and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
8 Itaque vicini, et qui viderant eum prius quia mendicus erat, dicebant: Nonne hic est qui sedebat, et mendicabat? Alii dicebant: Quia hic est.
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 Alii autem: Nequaquam, sed similis est ei. Ille vero dicebat: Quia ego sum.
Some said, "It is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
10 Dicebant ergo ei: Quomodo aperti sunt tibi oculi?
They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
11 Respondit: Ille homo qui dicitur Jesus, lutum fecit: et unxit oculos meos, et dixit mihi: Vade ad natatoria Siloë, et lava. Et abii, et lavi, et video.
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 Et dixerunt ei: Ubi est ille? Ait: Nescio.
Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13 Adducunt eum ad pharisæos, qui cæcus fuerat.
They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Erat autem sabbatum quando lutum fecit Jesus, et aperuit oculos ejus.
Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 Iterum ergo interrogabant eum pharisæi quomodo vidisset. Ille autem dixit eis: Lutum mihi posuit super oculos, et lavi, et video.
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 Dicebant ergo ex pharisæis quidam: Non est hic homo a Deo, qui sabbatum non custodit. Alii autem dicebant: Quomodo potest homo peccator hæc signa facere? Et schisma erat inter eos.
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 Dicunt ergo cæco iterum: Tu quid dicis de illo qui aperuit oculos tuos? Ille autem dixit: Quia propheta est.
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 Non crediderunt ergo Judæi de illo, quia cæcus fuisset et vidisset, donec vocaverunt parentes ejus, qui viderat:
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 et interrogaverunt eos, dicentes: Hic est filius vester, quem vos dicitis quia cæcus natus est? quomodo ergo nunc videt?
and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 Responderunt eis parentes ejus, et dixerunt: Scimus quia hic est filius noster, et quia cæcus natus est:
His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 quomodo autem nunc videat, nescimus: aut quis ejus aperuit oculos, nos nescimus; ipsum interrogate: ætatem habet, ipse de se loquatur.
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 Hæc dixerunt parentes ejus, quoniam timebant Judæos: jam enim conspiraverunt Judæi, ut si quis eum confiteretur esse Christum, extra synagogam fieret.
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 Messiah, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Propterea parentes ejus dixerunt: Quia ætatem habet, ipsum interrogate.
Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
24 Vocaverunt ergo rursum hominem qui fuerat cæcus, et dixerunt ei: Da gloriam Deo: nos scimus quia hic homo peccator est.
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 Dixit ergo eis ille: Si peccator est, nescio; unum scio, quia cæcus cum essem, modo video.
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 Dixerunt ergo illi: Quid fecit tibi? quomodo aperuit tibi oculos?
They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27 Respondit eis: Dixi vobis jam, et audistis: quod iterum vultis audire? numquid et vos vultis discipuli ejus fieri?
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 Maledixerunt ergo ei, et dixerunt: Tu discipulus illius sis: nos autem Moysi discipuli sumus.
They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Nos scimus quia Moysi locutus est Deus; hunc autem nescimus unde sit.
We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
30 Respondit ille homo, et dixit eis: In hoc enim mirabile est quia vos nescitis unde sit, et aperuit meos oculos:
The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 scimus autem quia peccatores Deus non audit: sed si quis Dei cultor est, et voluntatem ejus facit, hunc exaudit.
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.
Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Nisi esset hic a Deo, non poterat facere quidquam.
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
34 Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: In peccatis natus es totus, et tu doces nos? Et ejecerunt eum foras.
They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out.
35 Audivit Jesus quia ejecerunt eum foras: et cum invenisset eum, dixit ei: Tu credis in Filium Dei?
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36 Respondit ille, et dixit: Quis est, Domine, ut credam in eum?
He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
37 Et dixit ei Jesus: Et vidisti eum, et qui loquitur tecum, ipse est.
Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
38 At ille ait: Credo, Domine. Et procidens adoravit eum.
He said, "Lord, I believe." and he worshiped him.
39 Et dixit Jesus: In judicium ego in hunc mundum veni: ut qui non vident videant, et qui vident cæci fiant.
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 Et audierunt quidam ex pharisæis qui cum ipso erant, et dixerunt ei: Numquid et nos cæci sumus?
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
41 Dixit eis Jesus: Si cæci essetis, non haberetis peccatum. Nunc vero dicitis, Quia videmus: peccatum vestrum manet.
Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
