John 9

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

1 وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ مَارّاً، رَأَى رَجُلاً أَعْمَى مُنْذُ وِلادَتِهِ،

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

2 فَسَأَلَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَنْ أَخْطَأَ: هَذَا أَمْ وَالِدَاهُ، حَتَّى وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟»

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 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لا هُوَ أَخْطَأَ وَلا وَالِدَاهُ، وَلكِنْ حَتَّى تَظْهَرَ فِيهِ أَعْمَالُ اللهِ.

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

4 فَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ أَعْمَالَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي مَادَامَ الْوَقْتُ نَهَاراً. فَسَيَأْتِي اللَّيْلُ، وَلا أَحَدَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ فِيهِ.

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

5 وَمَادُمْتُ فِي الْعَالَمِ، فَأَنَا نُورُ الْعَالَمِ».

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

6 قَالَ هَذَا، وَتَفَلَ فِي التُّرَابِ، وَجَبَلَ مِنَ التُّفْلِ طِيناً، ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ عَلَى عَيْنَيِ الأَعْمَى،

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 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اذْهَبِ اغْتَسِلْ فِي بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ»، أَيِ الْمُرسَلِ. فَذَهَبَ وَاغْتَسَلَ وَعَادَ بَصِيراً.

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 فَتَسَاءَلَ الْجِيرَانُ وَالَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ يَسْتَعْطِي: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ نَفْسَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَجْلِسُ لِيَسْتَعْطِيَ؟»

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 قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: «هَذَا هُوَ». وَآخَرُونَ: «لا، وَلكِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُهُ!» أَمَّا هُوَ فَرَدَّ قَائِلاً: «بَلْ أَنَا هُوَ!»

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

10 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «وَكَيْفَ انْفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَاكَ؟»

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 أَجَابَ: «الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ يَسُوعُ جَبَلَ طِيناً دَهَنَ بِهِ عَيْنَيَّ، وَقَالَ لِيَ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ وَاغْتَسِلْ فِيهَا. فَذَهَبْتُ وَاغْتَسَلْتُ فَأَبْصَرْتُ!»

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

12 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «وَأَيْنَ هُوَ الآنَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لا أَعْرِفُ!»

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

13 فَذَهَبُوا بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى إِلَى الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ.

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

14 وَكَانَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي جَبَلَ فِيهِ يَسُوعُ الطِّينَ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيِ الأَعْمَى، يَوْمَ سَبْتٍ.

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 فَسَأَلَهُ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ أَيْضاً كَيْفَ أَبْصَرَ. فَأَجَابَ: «وضَعَ طِيناً عَلَى عَيْنَيَّ، وَاغْتَسَلْتُ، وَهَا أَنَا أُبْصِرُ!»

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 فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ: «لا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ مِنَ اللهِ، لأَنَّهُ يُخَالِفُ سُنَّةَ السَّبْتِ». وَلكِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ قَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ رَجُلٌ خَاطِئٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الآيَاتِ؟» فَوَقَعَ الْخِلافُ بَيْنَهُمْ.

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 وَعَادُوا يَسْأَلُونَ الَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى: «وَمَا رَأْيُكَ أَنْتَ فِيهِ مَادَامَ قَدْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «إِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ!»

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

18 وَرَفَضَ الْيَهُودُ أَنْ يُصَدِّقُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى فَأَبْصَرَ، فَاسْتَدْعَوْا وَالِدَيْهِ

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

19 وَسَأَلُوهُمَا: «أَهَذَا ابْنُكُمَا الْمَوْلُودُ أَعْمَى كَمَا تَقُولانِ؟ فَكَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ الآنَ؟»

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

20 أَجَابَهُمُ الْوَالِدَانِ: «نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا ابْنُنَا وَأَنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى.

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 وَلكِنَّنَا لَا نَعْلَمُ كَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ الآنَ، وَلا مَنْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ. إِنَّهُ كَامِلُ السِّنِّ، يُجِيبُكُمْ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، فَاسْأَلُوهُ!»

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 وَقَدْ قَالَ وَالِدَاهُ هَذَا لِخَوْفِهِمَا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، لأَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانُوا قَدِ اتَّفَقُوا أَنْ يَطْرُدُوا مِنَ الْمَجْمَعِ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ.

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

23 لِذلِكَ قَالا: «إِنَّهُ كَامِلُ السِّنِّ فَاسْأَلُوهُ».

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 ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ، الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «مَجِّدِ اللهَ! نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ خَاطِئٌ».

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 فَأَجَابَ: «أَخَاطِئٌ هُوَ، لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ! إِنَّمَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئاً وَاحِداً: أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَعْمَى وَالآنَ أُبْصِرُ!»

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

26 فَسَأَلُوهُ ثَانِيَةً: «مَاذَا فَعَلَ بِكَ؟ كَيْفَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟»

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 أَجَابَهُمْ: «قَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي، فَلِمَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً؟ أَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً أَنْ تَصِيرُوا تَلامِيذَ لَهُ؟»

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

28 فَشَتَمُوهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «بَلْ أَنْتَ تِلْمِيذُهُ! أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَتَلامِيذُ مُوسَى.

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

29 نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مُوسَى كَلَّمَهُ اللهُ؛ أَمَّا هَذَا، فَلا نَعْلَمُ لَهُ أَصْلاً!»

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

30 فَأَجَابَهُمُ الرَّجُلُ: «إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ عَجَباً! إِنَّهُ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيَّ، وَتَقُولُونَ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ لَهُ أَصْلاً!

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 نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لِلْخَاطِئِينَ، وَلكِنَّهُ يَسْتَمِعُ لِمَنْ يَتَّقِيهِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِإِرَادَتِهِ،

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

32 وَلَمْ يُسْمَعْ عَلَى مَدَى الأَجْيَالِ أَنَّ أَحَداً فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْ مَوْلُودٍ أَعْمَى!

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

33 فَلَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُوَ مِنَ اللهِ، لَمَا اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ شَيْئاً».

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

34 فَصَاحُوا بِهِ: «أَنْتَ بِكَامِلِكَ وُلِدْتَ فِي الْخَطِيئَةِ وَتُعَلِّمُنَا!» ثُمَّ طَرَدُوهُ خَارِجَ الْمَجْمَعِ.

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 وَعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ بِطَرْدِهِ خَارِجاً، فَقَصَدَ إِلَيْهِ وَسَأَلَهُ: «أَتُؤْمِنُ بِابْنِ اللهِ؟»

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

36 أَجَابَ: «مَنْ هُوَ يَا سَيِّدُ حَتَّى أُومِنَ بِهِ؟»

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

37 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الَّذِي قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ، وَالَّذِي يُكَلِّمُكَ، هُوَ نَفْسُهُ!»

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

38 فَقَالَ: «أُومِنُ يَا سَيِّدُ!» وَسَجَدَ لَهُ.

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 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «لِدَيْنُونَةٍ أَتَيْتُ إِلَى هَذَا الْعَالَمِ: لِيُبْصِرَ الْعُمْيَانُ، وَيَعْمَى الْمُبْصِرُونَ!»

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

40 فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ بَعْضُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلُوهُ: «وَهَلْ نَحْنُ أَيْضاً عُمْيَانٌ؟»

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 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كُنْتُمْ عُمْيَاناً بِالْفِعْلِ، لَمَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ خَطِيئَةٌ. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ تَدَّعُونَ أَنَّكُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ، وَلِذلِكَ فَإِنَّ خَطِيئَتَكُمْ بَاقِيَةٌ».
