Vangelo secondo Giovanni - John 9

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Και ενω ανεχωρει, ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης.	1 As he passed by he 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 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was 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 answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him.
4 Εγω πρεπει να εργαζωμαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με, εωσου ειναι ημερα? ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται να εργαζηται.	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 Ενοσω ειμαι εν τω κοσμω, ειμαι φως του κοσμου.	5 While 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 this, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on 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 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 Οι δε γειτονες και οσοι εβλεπον αυτον προτερον οτι ητο τυφλος ελεγον δεν ειναι ουτος, οστις εκαθητο και εζητει;	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 Αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος ειναι? αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτου ειναι. Εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμαι.	9 Some said, "It is," but others said, "No, he just looks like him." He said, "I am."
10 Ελεγον λοιπον προς αυτον? Πως ηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι σου;	10 So they said to him, "(So) 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 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 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? Που ειναι εκεινος; Λεγει? Δεν εξευρω.	12 And they said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."
13 Φερουσιν αυτον τον ποτε τυφλον προς τους Φαρισαιους.	13 They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees.
14 Ητο δε σαββατον, οτε εκαμε τον πηλον ο Ιησους και ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους αυτου.	14 Now Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes on a sabbath.
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 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 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 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 Λεγουσι παλιν προς τον τυφλον? Συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου, επειδη ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους σου; Και εκεινος ειπεν οτι προφητης ειναι.	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 Δεν επιστευσαν λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι ητο τυφλος και ανεβλεψεν, εως οτου εφωναξαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος	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 και ηρωτησαν αυτους, λεγοντες? Ουτος ειναι ο υιος σας, τον οποιον σεις λεγετε οτι εγεννηθη τυφλος; πως λοιπον βλεπει τωρα;	19 They asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How does he now see?"
20 Απεκριθησαν προς αυτους οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον? Εξευρομεν οτι ουτος ειναι ο υιος ημων και οτι εγεννηθη τυφλος?	20 His parents answered 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 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 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 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 Δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει, αυτον ερωτησατε.	23 For this reason his parents said, "He is of age; question 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 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 Απεκριθη λοιπον εκεινος και ειπεν? Αν ηναι αμαρτωλος δεν εξευρω? εν εξευρω, οτι ημην τυφλος και τωρα βλεπω.	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 Ειπον δε προς αυτον παλιν? τι σοι εκαμε; πως ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους σου;	26 So 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 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 Ελοιδορησαν λοιπον αυτον και ειπον? Συ εισαι μαθητης εκεινου? ημεις δε του Μωυσεως ειμεθα μαθηται.	28 They ridiculed him and said, "You are that man's disciple; 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 we do not know where this one 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 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 Εξευρομεν δε οτι αμαρτωλους ο Θεος δεν ακουει, αλλ' εαν τις ηναι βεοσεβης και καμνη το θελημα αυτου, τουτον ακουει.	31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if one is devout and does his will, he listens to him.
32 Εκ του αιωνος δεν ηκουσθη οτι ηνοιξε τις οφθαλμους γεγεννημενου τυφλου.	32 It is unheard of that anyone ever opened the eyes of a person born blind.
33 Εαν ουτος δεν ητο παρα Θεου, δεν ηδυνατο να καμη ουδεν.	33 If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything."
34 Απεκριθησαν και ειπον προς αυτον? Συ εγεννηθης ολος εν αμαρτιαις, και συ διδασκεις ημας; και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω.	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 Ηκουσεν ο Ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω, και ευρων αυτον ειπε προς αυτον? Συ πιστευεις εις τον Υιον του Θεου;	35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36 Απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπε? Τις ειναι, Κυριε, δια να πιστευσω εις αυτον;	36 He answered and said, "Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"
37 Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον? Και ειδες αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος ειναι.	37 Jesus said to him, "You have seen him and the one speaking with you is he."
38 Ο δε ειπε? Πιστευω, Κυριε? και προσεκυνησεν αυτον.	38 He said, "I do believe, Lord," and he worshiped 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 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 Και ηκουσαν ταυτα οσοι εκ των Φαρισαιων ησαν μετ' αυτου, και ειπον προς αυτον? Μηπως και ημεις ειμεθα τυφλοι;	40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, "Surely we are not also blind, are we?"
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 have no sin; but now you are saying, 'We see,' so your sin remains.
