John 9
1 फिर जाते हुए उस ने एक मनुष्य को देखा, जो जन्म का अन्धा था।
2 और उसके चेलों ने उस से पूछा, हे रब्बी, किस ने पाप किया था कि यह अन्धा जन्मा, इस मनुष्य ने, या उसके माता पिता ने?
3 यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, कि न तो इस ने पाप किया था, न इस के माता पिता ने: परन्तु यह इसलिये हुआ, कि परमेश्वर के काम उस में प्रगट हों।
4 जिस ने मुझे भेजा है; हमें उसके काम दिन ही दिन में करना अवश्य है: वह रात आनेवाली है जिस में कोई काम नहीं कर सकता।
5 जब तक मैं जगत में हूं, तब तक जगत की ज्योति हूं।
6 यह कहकर उस ने भूमि पर थूका और उस थूक से मिट्टी सानी, और वह मिट्टी उस अन्धे की आंखों पर लगाकर।
7 उस से कहा; जा शीलोह के कुण्ड में धो ले, (जिस का अर्थ भेजा हुआ है) सो उस ने जाकर धोया, और देखता हुआ लौट आया।
8 तब पड़ोसी और जिन्हों ने पहले उसे भीख मांगते देखा था, कहने लगे; क्या यह वही नहीं, जो बैठा भीख मांगा करता था?
9 कितनों ने कहा, यह वही है: औरों ने कहा, नहीं; परन्तु उसके समान है: उस ने कहा, मैं वही हूं।
10 तब वे उस से पूछने लगे, तेरी आंखें क्योंकर खुल गईं?
11 उस ने उत्तर दिया, कि यीशु नाम एक व्यक्ति ने मिट्टी सानी, और मेरी आंखों पर लगाकर मुझ से कहा, कि शीलोह में जाकर धो ले; सो मैं गया, और धोकर देखने लगा।
12 उन्होंने उस से पूछा; वह कहां है? उस ने कहा; मैं नहीं जानता॥
13 लोग उसे जो पहिले अन्धा था फरीसियों के पास ले गए।
14 जिस दिन यीशु ने मिट्टी सानकर उस की आंखे खोलीं थी वह सब्त का दिन था।
15 फिर फरीसियों ने भी उस से पूछा; तेरी आंखें किस रीति से खुल गईं? उस न उन से कहा; उस ने मेरी आंखो पर मिट्टी लगाई, फिर मैं ने धो लिया, और अब देखता हूं।
16 इस पर कई फरीसी कहने लगे; यह मनुष्य परमेश्वर की ओर से नहीं, क्योंकि वह सब्त का दिन नहीं मानता। औरों ने कहा, पापी मनुष्य क्योंकर ऐसे चिन्ह दिखा सकता है? सो उन में फूट पड़ी।
17 उन्होंने उस अन्धे से फिर कहा, उस ने जो तेरी आंखे खोलीं, तू उसके विषय में क्या कहता है? उस ने कहा, यह भविष्यद्वक्ता है।
18 परन्तु यहूदियों को विश्वास न हुआ कि यह अन्धा था और अब देखता है जब तक उन्होंने उसके माता-पिता को जिस की आंखे खुल गईं थी, बुलाकर।
19 उन से न पूछा, कि क्या यह तुम्हारा पुत्र है, जिसे तुम कहते हो कि अन्धा जन्मा था? फिर अब क्योंकर देखता है?
20 उसके माता-पिता ने उत्तर दिया; हम तो जानते हैं कि यह हमारा पुत्र है, और अन्धा जन्मा था।
21 परन्तु हम यह नहीं जानते हैं कि अब क्योंकर देखता है; और न यह जानते हैं, कि किस ने उस की आंखे खोलीं; वह सयाना है; उसी से पूछ लो; वह अपने विषय में आप कह देगा।
22 ये बातें उसके माता-पिता ने इसलिये कहीं क्योंकि वे यहूदियों से डरते थे; क्योंकि यहूदी एका कर चुके थे, कि यदि कोई कहे कि वह मसीह है, तो आराधनालय से निकाला जाए।
23 इसी कारण उसके माता-पिता ने कहा, कि वह सयाना है; उसी से पूछ लो।
24 तब उन्होंने उस मनुष्य को जो अन्धा था दूसरी बार बुलाकर उस से कहा, परमेश्वर की स्तुति कर; हम तो जानते हैं कि वह मनुष्य पापी है।
25 उस ने उत्तर दिया: मैं नहीं जानता कि वह पापी है या नहीं: मैं एक बात जानता हूं कि मैं अन्धा था और अब देखता हूं।
26 उन्होंने उस से फिर कहा, कि उस ने तेरे साथ क्या किया? और किस तेरह तेरी आंखें खोलीं?
27 उस ने उन से कहा; मैं तो तुम से कह चुका, और तुम ने ना सुना; अब दूसरी बार क्यों सुनना चाहते हो? क्या तुम भी उसके चेले होना चाहते हो?
28 तब वे उसे बुरा-भला कहकर बोले, तू ही उसका चेला है; हम तो मूसा के चेले हैं।
29 हम जानते हैं कि परमेश्वर ने मूसा से बातें कीं; परन्तु इस मनुष्य को नहीं जानते की कहां का है।
30 उस ने उन को उत्तर दिया; यह तो अचम्भे की बात है कि तुम नहीं जानते की कहां का है तौभी उस ने मेरी आंखें खोल दीं।
31 हम जानते हैं कि परमेश्वर पापियों की नहीं सुनता परन्तु यदि कोई परमेश्वर का भक्त हो, और उस की इच्छा पर चलता है, तो वह उस की सुनता है।
32 जगत के आरम्भ से यह कभी सुनने में नहीं आया, कि किसी ने भी जन्म के अन्धे की आंखे खोली हों।
33 यदि यह व्यक्ति परमेश्वर की ओर से न होता, तो कुछ भी नहीं कर सकता।
34 उन्होंने उस को उत्तर दिया, कि तू तो बिलकुल पापों में जन्मा है, तू हमें क्या सिखाता है? और उन्होंने उसे बाहर निकाल दिया॥
35 यीशु ने सुना, कि उन्होंने उसे बाहर निकाल दिया है; और जब उसे भेंट हुई तो कहा, कि क्या तू परमेश्वर के पुत्र पर विश्वास करता है?
36 उस ने उत्तर दिया, कि हे प्रभु; वह कौन है कि मैं उस पर विश्वास करूं?
37 यीशु ने उस से कहा, तू ने उसे देखा भी है; और जो तेरे साथ बातें कर रहा है वही है।
38 उस ने कहा, हे प्रभु, मैं विश्वास करता हूं: और उसे दंडवत किया।
39 तब यीशु ने कहा, मैं इस जगत में न्याय के लिये आया हूं, ताकि जो नहीं देखते वे देखें, और जो देखते हैं वे अन्धे हो जाएं।
40 जो फरीसी उसके साथ थे, उन्होंने ये बातें सुन कर उस से कहा, क्या हम भी अन्धे हैं?
41 यीशु ने उन से कहा, यदि तुम अन्धे होते तो पापी न ठहरते परन्तु अब कहते हो, कि हम देखते हैं, इसलिये तुम्हारा पाप बना रहता है॥
1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
0 A Psalm of David.
1 Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
