John 9

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

1 耶稣过去的时候，看见一个人生来是瞎眼的。

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

2 门徒问耶稣说：「拉比，这人生来是瞎眼的，是谁犯了罪？是这人呢？是他父母呢？」

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 耶稣回答说：「也不是这人犯了罪，也不是他父母犯了罪，是要在他身上显出 神的作为来。

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

4 趁着白日，我们必须做那差我来者的工；黑夜将到，就没有人能做工了。

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

5 我在世上的时候，是世上的光。」

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

6 耶稣说了这话，就吐唾沫在地上，用唾沫和泥抹在瞎子的眼睛上，

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：「你往西罗亚池子里去洗。」（西罗亚翻出来就是「奉差遣」。）他去一洗，回头就看见了。

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 他的邻舍和那素常见他是讨饭的，就说：「这不是那从前坐着讨饭的人吗？」

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」；又有人说：「不是，却是像他。」他自己说：「是我。」

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

10 他们对他说：「你的眼睛是怎么开的呢？」

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：「有一个人，名叫耶稣，他和泥抹我的眼睛，对我说：『你往西罗亚池子去洗。』我去一洗，就看见了。」

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

12 他们说：「那个人在哪里？」他说：「我不知道。」

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

13 他们把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 耶稣和泥开他眼睛的日子是安息日。

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 法利赛人也问他是怎么得看见的。瞎子对他们说：「他把泥抹在我的眼睛上，我去一洗，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 法利赛人中有的说：「这个人不是从 神来的，因为他不守安息日。」又有人说：「一个罪人怎能行这样的神迹呢？」他们就起了纷争。

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 他们又对瞎子说：「他既然开了你的眼睛，你说他是怎样的人呢？」他说：「是个先知。」

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

18 犹太人不信他从前是瞎眼，后来能看见的，等到叫了他的父母来，

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

19 问他们说：「这是你们的儿子吗？你们说他生来是瞎眼的，如今怎么能看见了呢？」

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

20 他父母回答说：「他是我们的儿子，生来就瞎眼，这是我们知道的。

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 至于他如今怎么能看见，我们却不知道；是谁开了他的眼睛，我们也不知道。他已经成了人，你们问他吧，他自己必能说。」

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 他父母说这话，是怕犹太人；因为犹太人已经商议定了，若有认耶稣是基督的，要把他赶出会堂。

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

23 因此他父母说：「他已经成了人，你们问他吧。」

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 所以法利赛人第二次叫了那从前瞎眼的人来，对他说：「你该将荣耀归给 神，我们知道这人是个罪人。」

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：「他是个罪人不是，我不知道；有一件事我知道，从前我是眼瞎的，如今能看见了。」

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

26 他们就问他说：「他向你做什么？是怎么开了你的眼睛呢？」

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：「我方才告诉你们，你们不听，为什么又要听呢？莫非你们也要作他的门徒吗？」

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

28 他们就骂他说：「你是他的门徒；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 神对摩西说话是我们知道的；只是这个人，我们不知道他从哪里来！」

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

30 那人回答说：「他开了我的眼睛，你们竟不知道他从哪里来，这真是奇怪！

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 神不听罪人，惟有敬奉 神、遵行他旨意的， 神才听他。

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

32 从创世以来，未曾听见有人把生来是瞎子的眼睛开了。

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

33 这人若不是从 神来的，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 他们回答说：「你全然生在罪孽中，还要教训我们吗？」于是把他赶出去了。

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 耶稣听说他们把他赶出去，后来遇见他，就说：「你信 神的儿子吗？」

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

36 他回答说：「主啊，谁是 神的儿子，叫我信他呢？」

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

37 耶稣说：「你已经看见他，现在和你说话的就是他。」

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

38 他说：「主啊，我信！」就拜耶稣。

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：「我为审判到这世上来，叫不能看见的，可以看见；能看见的，反瞎了眼。」

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

40 同他在那里的法利赛人听见这话，就说：「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 耶稣对他们说：「你们若瞎了眼，就没有罪了；但如今你们说『我们能看见』，所以你们的罪还在。」
