Vangelo secondo Giovanni - John 9

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και ενω ανεχωρει, ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης.	1 And Jesus, while passing by, saw a man blind from birth.
2 Και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες? Ραββι, τις ημαρτεν, ουτος η οι γονεις αυτου, ωστε να γεννηθη τυφλος;	2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”
3 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Ουτε ουτος ημαρτεν ουτε οι γονεις αυτου, αλλα δια να φανερωθωσι τα εργα του Θεου εν αυτω.	3 Jesus responded: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God would be made manifest in him.
4 Εγω πρεπει να εργαζωμαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με, εωσου ειναι ημερα? ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται να εργαζηται.	4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no one is able to work.
5 Ενοσω ειμαι εν τω κοσμω, ειμαι φως του κοσμου.	5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Αφου ειπε ταυτα, επτυσε χαμαι και εκαμε πηλον εκ του πτυσματος και επεχρισε τον πηλον επι τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου	6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and he made clay from the spittle, and he smeared the clay over his eyes.
7 και ειπε προς αυτον? Υπαγε, νιφθητι εις την κολυμβηθραν του Σιλωαμ, το οποιον ερμηνευεται απεσταλμενος. Υπηγε λοιπον και ενιφθη, και ηλθε βλεπων.	7 And he said to him: “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated as: one who has been sent). Therefore, he went away and washed, and he returned, seeing.
8 Οι δε γειτονες και οσοι εβλεπον αυτον προτερον οτι ητο τυφλος ελεγον δεν ειναι ουτος, οστις εκαθητο και εζητει;	8 And so the bystanders and those who had seen him before, when he was a beggar, said, “Is this not the one who was sitting and begging?” Some said, “This is he.”
9 Αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος ειναι? αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτου ειναι. Εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμαι.	9 But others said, “Certainly not, but he is similar to him.” Yet truly, he himself said, “I am he.”
10 Ελεγον λοιπον προς αυτον? Πως ηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι σου;	10 Therefore, they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 Απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν? Ανθρωπος λεγομενος Ιησους εκαμε πηλον και επεχρισε τους οφθαλμους μου και μοι ειπεν? Υπαγε εις την κολυμβηθραν του Σιλωαμ και νιφθητι? αφου δε υπηγα και ενιφθην, ανεβλεψα.	11 He responded: “That man who is called Jesus made clay, and he anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ And I went, and I washed, and I see.”
12 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? Που ειναι εκεινος; Λεγει? Δεν εξευρω.	12 And they said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 Φερουσιν αυτον τον ποτε τυφλον προς τους Φαρισαιους.	13 They brought the one who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Ητο δε σαββατον, οτε εκαμε τον πηλον ο Ιησους και ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους αυτου.	14 Now it was the Sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 Παλιν λοιπον ηρωτων αυτον και οι Φαρισαιοι πως ανεβλεψε. Και εκεινος ειπε προς αυτους? Πηλον εβαλεν επι τους οφθαλμους μου, και ενιφθην, και βλεπω.	15 Therefore, again the Pharisees questioned him as to how he had seen. And he said to them, “He placed clay over my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
16 Ελεγον λοιπον τινες εκ των Φαρισαιων? Ουτος ο ανθρωπος δεν ειναι παρα του Θεου, διοτι δεν φυλαττει το σαββατον. Αλλοι ελεγον? Πως δυναται ανθρωπος αμαρτωλος να καμνη τοιαυτα θαυματα; Και ητο σχισμα μεταξυ αυτων.	16 And so certain Pharisees said: “This man, who does not keep the Sabbath, is not from God.” But others said, “How could a sinful man accomplish these signs?” And there was a schism among them.
17 Λεγουσι παλιν προς τον τυφλον? Συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου, επειδη ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους σου; Και εκεινος ειπεν οτι προφητης ειναι.	17 Therefore, they spoke again to the blind man, “What do you say about him who opened your eyes?” Then he said, “He is a Prophet.”
18 Δεν επιστευσαν λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι ητο τυφλος και ανεβλεψεν, εως οτου εφωναξαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος	18 Therefore, the Jews did not believe, about him, that he had been blind and had seen, until they called the parents of him who had seen.
19 και ηρωτησαν αυτους, λεγοντες? Ουτος ειναι ο υιος σας, τον οποιον σεις λεγετε οτι εγεννηθη τυφλος; πως λοιπον βλεπει τωρα;	19 And they questioned them, saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how is it that he now sees?”
20 Απεκριθησαν προς αυτους οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον? Εξευρομεν οτι ουτος ειναι ο υιος ημων και οτι εγεννηθη τυφλος?	20 His parents responded to them and said: “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21 Πως δε βλεπει τωρα δεν εξευρομεν, η τις ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους αυτου ημεις δεν εξευρομεν? αυτος ηλικιαν εχει, αυτον ερωτησατε, αυτος περι εαυτου θελει λαλησει.	21 But how it is that he now sees, we do not know. And who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough. Let him speak for himself.”
22 Ταυτα ειπον οι γονεις αυτου, διοτι εφοβουντο τους Ιουδαιους? επειδη ηδη ειχον συμφωνησει οι Ιουδαιοι, εαν τις ομολογηση αυτον Χριστον, να γεινη αποσυναγωγος.	22 His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already conspired, so that if anyone were to confess him to be the Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
23 Δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει, αυτον ερωτησατε.	23 It was for this reason that his parents said: “He is old enough. Ask him.”
24 Εφωναξαν λοιπον εκ δευτερου τον ανθρωπον, οστις ητο τυφλος, και ειπον προς αυτον? Δοξασον τον Θεον? ημεις εξευρομεν οτι ο ανθρωπος ουτος ειναι αμαρτωλος.	24 Therefore, they again called the man who had been blind, and they said to him: “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 Απεκριθη λοιπον εκεινος και ειπεν? Αν ηναι αμαρτωλος δεν εξευρω? εν εξευρω, οτι ημην τυφλος και τωρα βλεπω.	25 And so he said to them: “If he is a sinner, I do not know it. One thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I see.”
26 Ειπον δε προς αυτον παλιν? τι σοι εκαμε; πως ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους σου;	26 Then they said to him: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 Απεκριθη προς αυτους? Σας ειπον ηδη, και δεν ηκουσατε? δια τι παλιν θελετε να ακουητε; μηπως και σεις θελετε να γεινητε μαθηται αυτου;	27 He answered them: “I have already told you, and you heard it. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”
28 Ελοιδορησαν λοιπον αυτον και ειπον? Συ εισαι μαθητης εκεινου? ημεις δε του Μωυσεως ειμεθα μαθηται.	28 Therefore, they cursed him and said: “You be his disciple. But we are disciples of Moses.
29 ημεις εξευρομεν οτι προς τον Μωυσην ελαλησεν ο Θεος? τουτον ομως δεν εξευρομεν ποθεν ειναι.	29 We know that God spoke to Moses. But this man, we do not know where he is from.”
30 Απεκριθη ο ανθρωπος και ειπε προς αυτους? Εν τουτω μαλιστα ειναι το θαυμαστον, οτι σεις δεν εξευρετε ποθεν ειναι, και ηνοιξε μου τους οφθαλμους.	30 The man responded and said to them: “Now in this is a wonder: that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 Εξευρομεν δε οτι αμαρτωλους ο Θεος δεν ακουει, αλλ' εαν τις ηναι βεοσεβης και καμνη το θελημα αυτου, τουτον ακουει.	31 And we know that God does not hear sinners. But if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, then he heeds him.
32 Εκ του αιωνος δεν ηκουσθη οτι ηνοιξε τις οφθαλμους γεγεννημενου τυφλου.	32 From ancient times, it has not been heard that anyone has opened the eyes of someone born blind.
33 Εαν ουτος δεν ητο παρα Θεου, δεν ηδυνατο να καμη ουδεν.	33 Unless this man were of God, he would not be able to do any such thing.”
34 Απεκριθησαν και ειπον προς αυτον? Συ εγεννηθης ολος εν αμαρτιαις, και συ διδασκεις ημας; και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω.	34 They responded and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you would teach us?” And they cast him out.
35 Ηκουσεν ο Ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω, και ευρων αυτον ειπε προς αυτον? Συ πιστευεις εις τον Υιον του Θεου;	35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 Απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπε? Τις ειναι, Κυριε, δια να πιστευσω εις αυτον;	36 He responded and said, “Who is he, Lord, so that I may believe in him?”
37 Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον? Και ειδες αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος ειναι.	37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.”
38 Ο δε ειπε? Πιστευω, Κυριε? και προσεκυνησεν αυτον.	38 And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And falling prostrate, he worshipped him.
39 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους? Εγω δια κρισιν ηλθον εις τον κοσμον τουτον, δια να βλεπωσιν οι μη βλεποντες και να γεινωσι τυφλοι οι βλεποντες.	39 And Jesus said, “I came into this world in judgment, so that those who do not see, may see; and so that those who see, may become blind.”
40 Και ηκουσαν ταυτα οσοι εκ των Φαρισαιων ησαν μετ' αυτου, και ειπον προς αυτον? Μηπως και ημεις ειμεθα τυφλοι;	40 And certain Pharisees, who were with him, heard this, and they said to him, “Are we also blind?”
41 Ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Εαν ησθε τυφλοι, δεν ηθελετε εχει αμαρτιαν? τωρα ομως λεγετε οτι βλεπομεν? η αμαρτια σας λοιπον μενει.	41 Jesus said to them: “If you were blind, you would not have sin. Yet now you say, ‘We see.’ So your sin persists.”
