John 9

1 Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,

1 耶稣在路上看见一个生来瞎眼的人。

2 and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

2 门徒问耶稣：“老师，这个人生来瞎眼，是因为他犯了罪呢，还是他父母犯了罪呢？”

3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

3 耶稣说：“不是他犯了罪，也不是他父母犯了罪，而是要在他身上彰显上帝的作为。

4 While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.

4 趁着白天，我们必须做差我来者的工作，黑夜一到，就没有人能工作了。

5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

5 我在世上的时候，是世界的光。”

6 When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.

6 耶稣讲完后，便吐唾沫在地上，用唾沫和泥抹在那人的眼睛上，

7 Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

7 对他说：“到西罗亚池去洗洗！”西罗亚是“奉差遣”的意思。那人照着去做，回来的时候已经能看见了。

8 At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

8 他的邻居和从前见他乞讨的人说：“他不是那个常坐在这里乞讨的人吗？”

9 Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”

9 有人说：“是他。”有人说：“不是他，只是长得像他。” 他不停地说：“我就是那个人。”

10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.

10 他们问：“你的眼睛是怎么好的？”

11 He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”

11 他回答说：“有一位叫耶稣的人和泥抹我的眼睛，叫我到西罗亚池子去洗。我照着去做，眼睛就能看见了。”

12 “Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.

12 他们问：“那人在哪里？”他说：“我不知道。”

13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

13 他们就把这个从前瞎眼的人带到法利赛人那里。

14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

14 耶稣和泥开他眼睛那天是安息日。

15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”

15 法利赛人也查问他的眼睛是怎么看见的。他回复说：“祂把泥抹在我的眼睛上，我去一洗，眼睛就看见了。”

16 Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

16 有些法利赛人说：“这人不是从上帝那里来的，因为祂不守安息日。”有些人却说：“罪人怎能行这样的神迹呢？”他们就争论起来。

17 So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

17 于是，他们又问那个瞎眼的人：“既然祂开了你的眼睛，你认为祂是什么人？” 他说：“祂是先知。”

18 The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents

18 犹太人不相信他以前瞎眼，现在看见了，便叫来他的父母，

19 and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”

19 问他们：“这是你们的儿子吗？你们说他生来瞎眼，现在怎么能看见了？”

20 His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.

20 他父母回答说：“我们知道他是我们的儿子，生来瞎眼。

21 But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”

21 至于他现在怎么能看见了，我们就不知道了。是谁治好了他，我们也不知道。他现在已经长大成人，你们可以去问他，他自己可以回答。”

22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

22 他父母因为害怕那些犹太人，所以才这样说，因为那些犹太人早就商量好了，谁承认耶稣是基督，就把谁赶出会堂。

23 That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”

23 因此他父母才说他已经长大成人，叫他们去问他。

24 So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

24 法利赛人又把那个从前瞎眼的人叫来，对他说：“你应该把荣耀归给上帝 ！我们知道那个人是罪人。”

25 He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”

25 他说：“祂是不是罪人，我不知道；我只知道我本来瞎眼，现在能看见了。”

26 “What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”

26 他们就问他：“祂向你做了些什么？祂是怎样治好你眼睛的？”

27 He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”

27 他回答说：“我已经告诉过你们了，你们不听，为什么又想听呢？难道你们也想做祂的门徒吗？”

28 Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.

28 他们就骂他：“你才是祂的门徒！我们是摩西的门徒。

29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”

29 我们知道上帝曾对摩西讲话，至于这个人，我们不知道祂是从哪里来的。”

30 “That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

30 那人说：“祂开了我的眼睛，你们竟不知道祂从哪里来，真是奇怪。

31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

31 我们知道上帝不听罪人的祷告，只听那些敬拜祂、遵行祂旨意者的祷告。

32 Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.

32 从创世以来，从未听过有人能把生来瞎眼的人治好。

33 If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”

33 这个人如果不是从上帝那里来的，就什么也不能做。”

34 They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.

34 法利赛人斥责他：“你这生来就深陷罪中的家伙，居然敢教导我们！”于是把他赶了出去。

35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

35 耶稣听说了这事，后来祂找到这个人，对他说：“你信人子 吗？”

36 “Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”

36 他说：“先生，谁是人子？我要信祂。”

37 “You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”

37 耶稣说：“你已经看见祂了，现在跟你说话的就是祂。”

38 “Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.

38 他说：“主啊！我信！”他就敬拜耶稣。

39 Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”

39 耶稣说：“我为了审判来到这世界，使瞎眼的可以看见，使看得见的反成了瞎眼的。”

40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”

40 有些跟祂在一起的法利赛人听了这句话，就问：“难道我们也瞎了眼吗？”

41 “If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”

41 耶稣说：“你们如果是瞎眼的，就没有罪了。但现在你们自称看得见，所以仍然有罪。
