Iohannem 9
1 Et praeteriens Iesus vidit hominem caecum a nativitate:
And when he went on his way, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 et interrogaverunt eum discipuli eius: Rabbi, quis peccavit, hic, aut parentes eius, ut caecus nasceretur?
And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?
3 Respondit Iesus: Neque hic peccavit, neque parentes eius: sed ut manifestentur opera Dei in illo.
Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.
4 Me oportet operari opera eius, qui misit me, donec dies est: venit nox, quando nemo potest operari.
While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.
5 quamdiu sum in mundo, lux sum mundi.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Haec cum dixisset, expuit in terram, et fecit lutum ex sputo, et linivit lutum super oculos eius,
Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,
7 et dixit ei: Vade et lava in natatoria Siloe (quod interpretatur Missus.) Abiit ergo, et lavit, et venit videns.
And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.
8 Itaque vicini, et qui viderant eum prius quia mendicus erat, dicebant: Nonne hic est, qui sedebat, et mendicabat? Alii dicebant: Quia hic est.
Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?
9 Alii autem: Nequaquam, sed similis est ei. Ille vero dicebat: Quia ego sum.
Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
10 Dicebant ergo ei: Quomodo aperti sunt tibi oculi?
So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?
11 Respondit: Ille homo, qui dicitur Iesus, lutum fecit: et unxit oculos meos, et dixit mihi: Vade ad natatoria Siloe, et lava. Et abii, et lavi, et video.
His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.
12 Et dixerunt ei: Ubi est ille? Ait: Nescio.
And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.
13 Adducunt eum ad Pharisaeos, qui caecus fuerat.
They took him before the Pharisees — this man who had been blind.
14 Erat autem sabbatum quando lutum fecit Iesus, et aperuit oculos eius.
Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.
15 Iterum ergo interrogabant eum Pharisaei quomodo vidisset. Ille autem dixit eis: Lutum mihi posuit super oculos, et lavi, et video.
So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.
16 Dicebant ergo ex Pharisaeis quidam: Non est hic homo a Deo, qui sabbatum non custodit. Alii autem dicebant: Quomodo potest homo peccator haec signa facere? Et schisma erat inter eos.
Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.
17 Dicunt ergo caeco iterum: Tu quid dicis de illo, qui aperuit oculos tuos? Ille autem dixit: Quia propheta est.
Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18 Non crediderunt ergo Iudaei de illo, quia caecus fuisset et vidisset, donec vocaverunt parentes eius, qui viderat:
Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,
19 et interrogaverunt eos, dicentes: Hic est filius vester, quem vos dicitis quia caecus natus est? Quomodo ergo nunc videt?
And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?
20 Responderunt eis parentes eius, et dixerunt: Scimus quia hic est filius noster, et quia caecus natus est:
In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:
21 quomodo autem nunc videat, nescimus: aut quis eius aperuit oculos, nos nescimus: ipsum interrogate: aetatem habet, ipse de se loquatur.
But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.
22 Haec dixerunt parentes eius, quoniam timebant Iudaeos: iam enim conspiraverunt Iudaei, ut si quis eum confiteretur esse Christum, extra synagogam fieret.
They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.
23 Propterea parentes eius dixerunt: Quia aetatem habet, ipsum interrogate.
That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.
24 Vocaverunt ergo rursum hominem, qui fuerat caecus, et dixerunt ei: Da gloriam Deo. nos scimus quia hic homo peccator est.
So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.
25 Dixit ergo eis ille: Si peccator est, nescio: unum scio, quia caecus cum essem, modo video.
He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.
26 Dixerunt ergo illi: Quid fecit tibi? quomodo aperuit tibi oculos?
Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?
27 Respondit eis: Dixi vobis iam, et audistis: quod iterum vultis audire? numquid et vos vultis discipuli eius fieri?
His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?
28 Maledixerunt ergo ei, et dixerunt: Tu discipulus illius sis: nos autem Moysi discipuli sumus.
And they were angry with 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 are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge 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 said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.
31 scimus autem quia peccatores Deus non audit: sed si quis Dei cultor est, et voluntatem eius facit, hunc exaudit.
We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.
In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open. (aiōn g165)
33 Nisi esset hic a Deo, non poterat facere quidquam.
If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.
34 Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: In peccatis natus es totus, et tu doces nos? Et eiecerunt eum foras.
Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.
35 Audivit Iesus quia eiecerunt eum foras: et cum invenisset eum, dixit ei: Tu credis in Filium Dei?
It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?
36 Respondit ille, et dixit: Quis est, Domine, ut credam in eum?
He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.
37 Et dixit ei Iesus: Et vidisti eum, et qui loquitur tecum, ipse est.
Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.
38 At ille ait: Credo Domine. Et procidens adoravit eum.
And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.
39 Et dixit ei Iesus: In iudicium ego in hunc mundum veni: ut qui non vident videant, et qui vident caeci fiant.
And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.
40 Et audierunt quidam ex Pharisaeis, qui cum ipso erant, et dixerunt ei: Numquid et nos caeci sumus?
These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?
41 Dixit eis Iesus: Si caeci 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 now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.
