John 9

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

1 وَفِيمَا هُوَ مُجْتَازٌ رَأَى إِنْسَانًا أَعْمَى مُنْذُ وِلَادَتِهِ،

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

2 فَسَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَنْ أَخْطَأَ: هَذَا أَمْ أَبَوَاهُ 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 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «لَا هَذَا أَخْطَأَ وَلَا أَبَوَاهُ، لَكِنْ لِتَظْهَرَ أَعْمَالُ ٱللهِ فِيهِ.

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

4 يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ أَعْمَالَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي مَا دَامَ نَهَارٌ. يَأْتِي لَيْلٌ حِينَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ.

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

5 مَا دُمْتُ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ فَأَنَا نُورُ ٱلْعَالَمِ».

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 عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَصَنَعَ مِنَ ٱلتُّفْلِ طِينًا وَطَلَى بِٱلطِّينِ عَيْنَيِ ٱلْأَعْمَى.

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: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱغْتَسِلْ فِي بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ» ٱلَّذِي تَفْسِيرُهُ: مُرْسَلٌ، فَمَضَى وَٱغْتَسَلَ وَأَتَى بَصِيرًا.

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 فَٱلْجِيرَانُ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ قَبْلًا أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى، قَالُوا: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَجْلِسُ وَيَسْتَعْطِي؟».

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 آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا هُوَ». وَآخَرُونَ: «إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُهُ». وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ».

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

10 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «كَيْفَ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ 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 ذَاكَ وقَالَ: «إِنْسَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَسُوعُ صَنَعَ طِينًا وَطَلَى عَيْنَيَّ، وَقَالَ لِي: ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ وَٱغْتَسِلْ. فَمَضَيْتُ وَٱغْتَسَلْتُ فَأَبْصَرْتُ».

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

12 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟». قَالَ: «لَا أَعْلَمُ».

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

13 فَأَتَوْا إِلَى ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ بِٱلَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلًا أَعْمَى.

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

14 وَكَانَ سَبْتٌ حِينَ صَنَعَ يَسُوعُ ٱلطِّينَ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

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 ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ أَيْضًا كَيْفَ أَبْصَرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَضَعَ طِينًا عَلَى عَيْنَيَّ وَٱغْتَسَلْتُ، فَأَنَا 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 قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ: «هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَحْفَظُ ٱلسَّبْتَ». آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ إِنْسَانٌ خَاطِئٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَاتِ؟». وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمُ ٱنْشِقَاقٌ.

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 قَالُوا أَيْضًا لِلْأَعْمَى: «مَاذَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ عَنْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّهُ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟». فَقَالَ: «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 فَلَمْ يُصَدِّقِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى فَأَبْصَرَ حَتَّى دَعَوْا أَبَوَيِ ٱلَّذِي أَبْصَرَ.

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

19 فَسَأَلُوهُمَا قَائِلِينَ: «أَهَذَا ٱبْنُكُمَا ٱلَّذِي تَقُولَانِ إِنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟ فَكَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ ٱلْآنَ؟».

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

20 أَجَابَهُمْ أَبَوَاهُ وَقَالَا: «نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا ٱبْنُنَا، 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 وَأَمَّا كَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ ٱلْآنَ فَلَا نَعْلَمُ. أَوْ مَنْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَلَا نَعْلَمُ. هُوَ كَامِلُ ٱلسِّنِّ. ٱسْأَلُوهُ فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ».

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 قَالَ أَبَوَاهُ هَذَا لِأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَخَافَانِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ كَانُوا قَدْ تَعَاهَدُوا أَنَّهُ إِنِ ٱعْتَرَفَ أَحَدٌ بِأَنَّهُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يُخْرَجُ مِنَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ.

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

23 لِذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبَوَاهُ: «إِنَّهُ كَامِلُ ٱلسِّنِّ، ٱسْأَلُوهُ».

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 فَدَعَوْا ثَانِيَةً ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَعْطِ مَجْدًا لِلهِ. نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ 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 ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «أَخَاطِئٌ هُوَ؟ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ. إِنَّمَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا: أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَعْمَى وَٱلْآنَ أُبْصِرُ».

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

26 فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَيْضًا: «مَاذَا صَنَعَ 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. لِمَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا أَيْضًا؟ أَلَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَصِيرُوا لَهُ تَلَامِيذَ؟».

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

28 فَشَتَمُوهُ وَقَالُوا: «أَنْتَ تِلْمِيذُ ذَاكَ، وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَإِنَّنَا تَلَامِيذُ 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 ٱللهُ، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَمَا نَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ».

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

30 أَجَابَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّ فِي هَذَا عَجَبًا! إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وَقَدْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيَّ.

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 وَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَسْمَعُ لِلْخُطَاةِ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَتَّقِي ٱللهَ وَيَفْعَلُ مَشِيئَتَهُ، فَلِهَذَا يَسْمَعُ.

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

32 مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يُسْمَعْ أَنَّ أَحَدًا فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْ مَوْلُودٍ أَعْمَى.

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

33 لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هَذَا مِنَ ٱللهِ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا».

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

34 أجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «فِي ٱلْخَطَايَا وُلِدْتَ أَنْتَ بِجُمْلَتِكَ، وَأَنْتَ تُعَلِّمُنَا!». فَأَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجًا.

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 فَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُمْ أَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجًا، فَوَجَدَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَتُؤْمِنُ بِٱبْنِ ٱللهِ؟».

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

36 أَجَابَ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ هُوَ يَا سَيِّدُ لِأُومِنَ بِهِ؟».

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

37 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ، وَٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَكَ هُوَ هُوَ!».

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 أَنَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ، حَتَّى يُبْصِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ وَيَعْمَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْصِرُونَ».

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

40 فَسَمِعَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَلَعَلَّنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا 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 قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كُنْتُمْ عُمْيَانًا لَمَا كَانَتْ لَكُمْ خَطِيَّةٌ. وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّنَا نُبْصِرُ، فَخَطِيَّتُكُمْ بَاقِيَةٌ.
