STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 וַיְהִי בְּעָבְרוֹ וַיַּרְא אִישׁ וְהוּא עִוֵּר מִיּוֹם הִוָּלְדוֹ	1 As he passed by he saw a man blind from birth.
2 וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ אֹתוֹ תַּלְמִידָיו לֵאמֹר רַבִּי מִי־הוּא אֲשֶׁר חָטָא הֲזֶה אִם־יֹלְדָיו כִּי נוֹלַד עִוֵּר	2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ לֹא זֶה חָטָא וְלֹא יוֹלְדָיו אַךְ לְמַעַן יִגָּלוּ־בוֹ מַעַלְלֵי־אֵל	3 Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him.
4 עָלַי לַעֲשֹוֹת מַעֲשֵׂי שֹׁלְחִי בְּעוֹד יוֹם יָבוֹא הַלַּיְלָה אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ לֹא־יוּכַל אִישׁ לִפְעֹל	4 We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work.
5 בִּהְיוֹתִי בָּעוֹלָם אוֹר הָעוֹלָם אָנִי	5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6 וַיְהִי כְּדַבְּרוֹ זֹאת וַיָּרָק עַל־הָאָרֶץ וַיַּעַשׂ טִיט מִן־הָרוֹק וַיִּמְרַח אֶת־הַטִּיט עַל־עֵינֵי הָעִוֵּר	6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes,
7 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו לֵךְ וּרְחַץ בִּבְרֵכַת הַשִּׁלֹּחַ פֵּרוּשׁוֹ שָׁלוּחַ וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיִּרְחַץ וַיָּבֹא וְעֵינָיו רֹאוֹת	7 and said to him, "Go wash in the Pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). So he went and washed, and came back able to see.
8 וַיֹּאמְרוּ שְׁכֵנָיו וַאֲשֶׁר רָאוּ אֹתוֹ לְפָנִים כִּי־עִוֵּר הוּא הֲלֹא־זֶה הוּא הַיּשֵׁב וּמְשָׁאֵל	8 His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, "Isn't this the one who used to sit and beg?"
9 אֵלֶּה אָמְרוּ כִּי־הוּא זֶה וְאֵלֶּה אָמְרוּ אַךְ־דּוֹמֶה לּוֹ וְהוּא אָמַר אֲנִי הוּא	9 Some said, "It is," but others said, "No, he just looks like him." He said, "I am."
10 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו בַּמָּה אֵפוֹא נִפְקְחוּ עֵינֶיךָ	10 So they said to him, "(So) how were your eyes opened?"
11 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־נִקְרָא שְׁמוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ עָשָׂה טִיט וַיִּמְרַח עַל־עֵינַי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי לֵךְ וּרְחַץ בִּבְרֵכַת הַשִּׁלֹּחַ וָאֵלֵךְ וָאֶרְחַץ וַתָּאֹרְנָה עֵינָי	11 He replied, "The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and told me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went there and washed and was able to see."
12 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אַיּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא יָדָעְתִּי	12 And they said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."
13 וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הָיָה עִוֵּר לְפָנִים אֶל־הַפְּרוּשִׁים	13 They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees.
14 וְהַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה־בוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־הַטִּיט וַיִּפְקַח אֶת־עֵינָיו שַׁבָּת הָיָה	14 Now Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes on a sabbath.
15 וַיּוֹסִיפוּ לִשְׁאֹל אֹתוֹ גַּם־הַפְּרוּשִׁים אֵיךְ נִפְקְחוּ עֵינָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם טִיט שָׂם עַל־עֵינַי וָאֶרְחַץ וְהִנְנִי רֹאֶה	15 So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see."
16 וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִקְצָת הַפְּרוּשִׁים זֶה הָאִישׁ לֹא מֵאֱלֹהִים הוּא כִּי לֹא־יִשְׁמֹר אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּת וַאֲחֵרִים אָמְרוּ אֵיכָה יוּכַל אִישׁ חֹטֵא לַעֲשֹוֹת אֹתוֹת כָּאֵלֶּה וַיְהִי־רִיב בֵּינֵיהֶם	16 So some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath." (But) others said, "How can a sinful man do such signs?" And there was a division among them.
17 וַיּוֹסִיפוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־הָעִוֵּר מַה־תֹּאמַר אַתָּה עָלָיו אֲשֶׁר פָּקַח עֵינֶיךָ וַיֹּאמֶר נָבִיא הוּא	17 So they said to the blind man again, "What do you have to say about him, since he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
18 וְלֹא־הֶאֱמִינוּ הַיְּהוּדִים עָלָיו כִּי עִוֵּר הָיָה וְאֹרוּ עֵינָיו עַד־אֲשֶׁר קָרְאוּ אֶל־יוֹלְדֵי הַנִּרְפָּא	18 Now the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and gained his sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had gained his sight.
19 וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ אֹתָם לֵאמֹר הֲזֶה הוּא בִנְכֶם אֲשֶׁר אֲמַרְתֶּם כִּי נוֹלַד עִוֵּר וְאֵיכָה הוּא רֹאֶה עָתָּה	19 They asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How does he now see?"
20 וַיַּעֲנוּ אֹתָם יוֹלְדָיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ יָדַעְנוּ כִּי זֶה הוּא בְנֵנוּ וְכִי נוֹלַד עִוֵּר	20 His parents answered and said, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21 אֲבָל אֵיךְ הוּא רֹאֶה עַתָּה אוֹ מִי פָקַח אֶת־עֵינָיו אֲנַחְנוּ לֹא יָדָעְנוּ הֲלֹא בֶן־דַּעַת הוּא שַׁאֲלוּ אֶת־פִּיהוּ וְהוּא יַגִּיד מֶה־הָיָה לוֹ	21 We do not know how he sees now, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him, he is of age; he can speak for him self."
22 כָּזֹאת דִּבְּרוּ יוֹלְדָיו מִיִּרְאָתָם אֶת־הַיְּהוּדִים כִּי הַיְּהוּדִים כְּבָר נוֹעֲצוּ לְנַדּוֹת אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יוֹדֶה כִּי הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ	22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone acknowledged him as the Messiah, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
23 עַל־כֵּן אָמְרוּ יוֹלְדָיו בֶּן־דַּעַת הוּא שַׁאֲלוּ אֶת־פִּיהוּ	23 For this reason his parents said, "He is of age; question him."
24 וַיִּקְרְאוּ שֵׁנִית לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הָיָה עִוֵּר וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו תֵּן כָּבוֹד לֵאלֹהִים אֲנַחְנוּ יָדַעְנוּ כִּי־הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה חֹטֵא הוּא	24 So a second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, "Give God the praise! We know that this man is a sinner."
25 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר אִם־הָאִישׁ חֹטֵא הוּא אֵינֶנִּי יֹדֵעַ אַחַת יָדַעְתִּי כִּי עִוֵּר הָיִיתִי וְעַתָּה הִנְנִי רֹאֶה	25 He replied, "If he is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know is that I was blind and now I see."
26 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו עוֹד מֶה־עָשָׂה לְךָ אֵיכָה פָּקַח עֵינֶיךָ	26 So they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם כְּבָר אָמַרְתִּי לָכֶם הֲלֹא שְׁמַעְתֶּם וּמַה־לָּכֶם לִשְׁמֹעַ שֵׁנִית הֲתֹאבוּ גַם־אַתֶּם לִהְיוֹת תַּלְמִידָיו	27 He answered them, "I told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?"
28 וַיְחָרְפוּ אֹתוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אַתָּה תַלְמִידוֹ וַאֲנַחְנוּ תַּלְמִידָיו שֶׁל־משֶׁה	28 They ridiculed him and said, "You are that man's disciple; we are disciples of Moses!
29 אֲנַחְנוּ יוֹדְעִים כִּי אֶל־משֶׁה דִּבֶּר הָאֱלֹהִים וְאֶת־זֶה לֹא יָדַעְנוּ מֵאַיִן הוּא	29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this one is from."
30 וַיַּעַן הָאִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם זֹאת הִיא הַפְלֵא וָפֶלֶא כִּי־לֹא יְדַעְתֶּם מֵאַיִן הוּא וְהוּא פָקַח אֶת־עֵינָי	30 The man answered and said to them, "This is what is so amazing, that you do not know where he is from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 וְהִנֵּה יָדַעְנוּ כִּי אֶת־הַחַטָּאִים לֹא־יִשְׁמַע אֵל כִּי אִם־אֶת־יְרֵא הָאֱלֹהִים וְעֹשֵׂה רְצוֹנוֹ אֹתוֹ יִשְׁמָע	31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if one is devout and does his will, he listens to him.
32 מֵעוֹלָם לֹא נִשְׁמַע כִּי־פָקַח אִישׁ עֵינֵי עִוֵּר מֵרָחֶם	32 It is unheard of that anyone ever opened the eyes of a person born blind.
33 לוּלֵא הָיָה זֶה מֵאֵת אֱלֹהִים לֹא הָיָה יָכֹל לַעֲשׂוֹת מְאוּמָה	33 If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything."
34 וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֵן בַּחֲטָאִים נוֹלַדְתָּ כֻלָּךְ וְאַתָּה תְלַמְּדֵנוּ וַיֶּהְדְּפֻהוּ הַחוּצָה	34 They answered and said to him, "You were born totally in sin, and are you trying to teach us?" Then they threw him out.
35 וַיִּשְׁמַע יֵשׁוּעַ כִּי הֲדָפֻהוּ הַחוּצָה וַיִּפְגְּשֵׁהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הֲתַאֲמִין בְּבֶן־הָאֱלֹהִים	35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר מִי הוּא־זֶה אֲדֹנִי לְמַעַן אַאֲמִין בּוֹ	36 He answered and said, "Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"
37 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ הֵן־רָאִיתָ אֹתוֹ וְהַמְדַבֵּר אֵלֶיךָ הִנֵּה זֶה הוּא	37 Jesus said to him, "You have seen him and the one speaking with you is he."
38 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲנִי מַאֲמִין אֲדֹנִי וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לוֹ	38 He said, "I do believe, Lord," and he worshiped him.
39 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲנִי לָדִין בָּאתִי לָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה לְמַעַן יִרְאוּ הַעִוְרִים וְהָרֹאִים יֻכּוּ בְעִוָּרוֹן	39 Then Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind."
40 וַאֲשֶׁר הָיוּ עִמּוֹ מִן־הַפְּרוּשִׁים שָׁמְעוּ דְבָרָיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֲגַם אֲנַחְנוּ עִוְרִים	40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, "Surely we are not also blind, are we?"
41 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אִם־עִוְרִים הֱיִיתֶם לֹא־הָיָה בָכֶם חֵטְא וְעַתָּה כִּי אֲמַרְתֶּם פִּקְחִים אֲנַחְנוּ חַטַּאתְכֶם תַּעֲמֹד	41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you are saying, 'We see,' so your sin remains.
