¹जब येशू हिडिरहनु भएको थियो, उहाँले एकजना अन्धो मान्छेलाई देख्नु भयो। त्यो मान्छे जन्मैदेखि अन्धा थियो।

¹As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

²येशूका चेलाहरूले सोधे, “गुरुज्यू यो मान्छे जन्मैदेखि अन्धो हो। कसको पापले उसलाई अन्धा जन्मायो? उसको आफ्नै पाप वा उसको माता-पिताको पाप?”

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

³येशूले उत्तर दिनुभयो, ‘यो न त उसको न त उसकी माताको पापहो जसले उसलाई अन्धा जन्माइन्। ऊ जन्मैदेखिको अन्धो हो ताकि उसलाई निको पारेर मानिसहरूलाई परमेश्वरको शक्ति देखाउन सकियोस्।

³Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

⁴अहिले जब दिनको समय छ हामीले उहाँको कामहरू गर्नु पर्छ जसले मलाई पठाउनु भयो। रात पर्न आँटेको छ। अनि कसैले पनि राती काम गर्दैन।

⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

⁵जब म संसारमा छु, म संसारको ज्योति हूँ।”

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

⁶यसो भनिसकेर, येशूले भूँइमा थुक्नु भयो र त्यसबाट केही माटोको हिलो बानाउनु भयो अनि येशूले त्यसलाई त्यस मानिसको आँखामा दलिदिनुभयो भयो।

⁶When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

⁷येशूले त्यस मानिसलाई भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ सिलोआमाको तलाउमा गएर पखाल।” (सिलोआमको अर्थ हुन्छ ‘पठाउनु) तब त्यो मानिस तलाउमा गयो र धोयो। अब उ देख्ने लायकको भयो।

⁷and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

⁸कोही मानिसहरूले पहिले त्यस मानिसलाई भीख मागिरहेको देखेका थिए। ती मानिसहरू र उनको छिमेकीहरूले भने, “हेर! यो त्यही मान्छे होइन जो सधैं बसेर भिक माग्दथ्यो?”

⁸The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

⁹[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁹Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”

¹⁰मानिसहरूले जान्न चाहन्थे, “के भयो? तिमीले कसरी दष्टि प्राप्त गर्यौ?”

¹⁰They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”

¹¹त्यस मानिसले जवाफ दिए, “त्यो मानिस जसलाई येशू भन्दछौ उहाँले धुलोबाट हिलो बनाउनु भयो। उहाँले त्यो मेरो आँखामा राखिदिनु भयो। तब उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “सिलोआममा जाऊ र पखाल। तब म सिलोआममा गँए र पखालें। अनि तब मैले देख्ने थालें।

¹¹He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

¹²मानिसहरूले त्यस मानिसलाई सोधे, “त्यो मान्छे कहाँ छ?” त्यस मानिसले भन्यो, “मलाई थाहा छैन।”

¹²Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”

¹³त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले त्यस मान्छेलाई फरिसीहरूकहाँ ल्याए। यो त्यही मानिस थियो जो पहिला अन्धो थियो।

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

¹⁴येशूले धुलोको हिलो बनाएर त्यस मानिसको आँखा निको पारिदिनु भयो। जुन दिन येशूले त्यस्तो काम गर्नुभयो त्यो दिन विश्रामको दिन थियो।

¹⁴It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

¹⁵फरिसीहरूले पनि त्यस मानिसलाई सोधे, “कसरी तिमीले तिम्रो दृष्टि पायौ?” त्यस मानिसले उत्तर दियो, “उहाँले धूलोको हिलो मेरो आँखामा राखिदिनु भयो। मैले मेरो आँखा पखालें र अब मैले देख्नु सकें।”

¹⁵Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”

¹⁶कोही फरिसीहरूले भने, “त्यस मानिसले विश्रामको दिन पालन गर्दैन। यसैले ऊ परमेश्वरबाट आएको होइन।” अन्य मानिसहरूले भने, “तर जो मानिस पापी छ उसले यस्तो चमत्कारहरू गर्न सक्तैन।” ती यहूदीहरू आपसमा सहमत हुन सकेनन्।

¹⁶Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” There was division among them.

¹⁷यहूदी अगुवाहरूले फेरि त्यस मानिसलाई सोधे, “यो मान्छेले तिमीलाई निको पार्यो अनि तिमीले देख्न सक्यौ। तिमी उसको बारेमा के भन्छौ?” त्यस मानिसले उत्तर दिए, “उहाँ एउटा अगमवक्ता हुनुहुन्छ।”

¹⁷Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸यहूदीहरूले त्यस मानिस त्यसरी निको भएको घटनामा विश्वास गरेनन्। तिनीहरूले त्यो मान्छे पहिले अन्धा र पछि निको भएको विश्वासै गरेनन्। यसर्थ तिनीहरूले उसको आमा बाबुलाई बोलाए।

¹⁸The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

¹⁹अनि यहूदीहरूले त्यसको आमा बाबुलाई सोधे, “यो तिमीहरूको छोरो हो? तिमीहरू भन यो जन्मै अन्धो थियो। तब अहिले उसले कसरी देख्न सक्यो?”

¹⁹and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

²⁰त्यसको आमा-बाबुले उत्तर दिए, “हामी जान्दछौ यो मेरो छोरो हो। अनि हामी जान्दछौ यो जन्मन्दै अन्धो थियो।

²⁰His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

²¹तर अहिले उसले कसरी देख्न सक्छ हामी जान्दैनौं। अनि हामी जान्दैनौं कसले उसलाई दृष्टि दियो। उसैलाई सोध्नुहोस्। ऊ अहिले ठूलो भएको छ अनि आफ्नो विषयमा उत्तर आफैले दिने छ।”

²¹but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

²²उनको आमा - बाबुले यहूदी अगुवाहरूको डरले गर्दा त्यसो भनेको हुन्। यहूदी अगुवाहरूले पहिल्यै निर्णय लिइसकेका थिए कि जजसले येशूलाई ख्रीष्ट भन्छन् तिनीहरू दण्डित हुनेछन्। अनि ती मानिसहरूलाई सभा-घरबाट निकलिदिनेछन्।

²²His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

²³यसैकारणले गर्दा उसको आमा-बाबुले भने, “ऊ ठूलो भएकोछ उसैलाई सोघ्नु होस्।”

²³Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

²⁴तब यहूदी अगुवाहरूले त्यस मानिस जो पहिला अन्धो थियो फेरि दोस्रोपल्ट बोलाएर भने, “तिमीलाई परमेश्वरको महिमा राख्न सत्य बोल्नु पर्छ। हामी जान्दछौ कि यो मानिस पापी हो।”

²⁴So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

²⁵त्यस मानिसले उत्तर दियो, “उहाँ पापी हुन भनेर म जान्दिन। तर म यति मात्र जान्दछुः म अन्धो थिएँ र अहिले देख्न सक्ने भएँ।”

²⁵He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

²⁶यहूदीहरूले सोधे, “उसले के गर्यो? तिम्रो आँखा कसरी निको पारयो?”

²⁶They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

²⁷त्यस मानिसले उत्तर दियो, “मैले तपाईंहरूलाई पहिल्यै भनिसकेको छु। तर तपाईंहरूले सुन्नु नै भएन। किन तपाईंहरू फेरि सुन्न चाहनु हुन्छ? के तपाईंहरू पनि उहाँको चेलाहरू हुन चाहनु हुन्छ?”

²⁷He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”

²⁸यहूदी अगुवाहरू एकदम रीसले चूर भए अनि त्यस मानिसलाई अपशब्दद्वारा गाली गरे। तब तिनीहरूले भने, “तिमी त्यस मानिसको चेला हौ। हामी मोशाका चेलाहरू हौं।

²⁸They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹हामी जान्दछौं कि परमेश्वर मोशासंग बोल्नु भयो। तर हामी त्यस मानिसको विषयमा चाहिँ एकदमै जान्दैनौं, ऊ कहाँबाट आएको हो।”

²⁹We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

³⁰त्यस मानिसले उत्तर दियो, “यो कस्तो अचम्भको कुरा हो। येशू कहाँबाट आउनु भयो, तपाँईहरू जान्नु हुन्न। तर उहाँले मेरो आँखालाई निको पारी दिनु भयो।

³⁰The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

³¹हामी सबै जान्दछौं कि परमेश्वरले पापीहरूको कुरा सुन्नु हुन्न। तर परमेश्वरले चाहे जस्तै गर्नु हुन्छ।

³¹We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him. Psalm 66:18, Proverbs 15:29; 28:9

³²यस्तो कहिल्यै पनि सुनिएको थिएन कि कसैले एक जन्मेको अन्धा मानिसलाई दृष्टि दियो।

³²Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

³³त्यो मान्छे परमेश्वरबाटै आएको हुनपर्छ। यदि उनी परमेश्वरबाट नआएको भए उसले यस्तो कुनै कुरा गर्नसक्ने थिएनन्।”

³³If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

³⁴यहूदी अगुवाहरूले उत्तर दिए, “तिमी पापैपापले भरिएर जन्मिएको रहेछौ। तिमीले हामीलाई सिकाउन खोज्छौं?” तिनीहरूले त्यस मानिसलाई घच्याडेर निकालिदिए।

³⁴They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” They threw him out.

³⁵यहूदी अगुवाहरूले त्यस मानिसलाई निकालीदिएको येशूले चाल पाउनु भयो। येशूले त्यस मानिसलाई भेटेर भन्नुभयो, “तिमी मानिसको पुत्रमाथि विश्वास गर्छौ?”

³⁵Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

³⁶त्यस मानिसले सोध्यो, “प्रभु, मानिसको पुत्र को हुन्? मलाई बातउनु होस्, तब म उहाँमा विश्वास गर्न सक्छु।”

³⁶He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

³⁷येशूले त्यस मानिसलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीले उसलाई देखिसकेकाछौ। मानिसको पुत्र उही हुन् जो तिमीसंग अहिले बोलिरहेकोछ।”

³⁷Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

³⁸त्यस मानिसले भन्यो, “हो प्रभु, म विश्वास गर्छु।” त्यसपछि उसले येशूलाई दण्डवत् गर्यो।

³⁸He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

³⁹येशूले भन्नुभयो, “म यस संसारमा न्याय गर्न आएको हुँ। म त्यसकारण आएको हुँ कि अन्धा मानिसहरूले देख्न सकोस्। म त्यसकारणले आएको हुँ कि देख्न सक्नेहरू अन्धा होउन्।”

³⁹Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

⁴⁰कोही फरिसीहरू येशूको नजिकै थिए। तिनीहरूले येशूले त्यसो भन्नु भएको सुने। तिनीहरूले सोधे, “हामी पनि अन्धा छौं भनेर तिमी भनिरहेछौ?”

⁴⁰Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”

⁴¹येशूले भन्नुभयो, “यदि तिमीहरू साँच्चि नै अन्धा भएको भए तिमीहरू पापको दोषी हुने थिएनौं। तर अहिले तिमीहरूले देख्छु भन्यौ, यसकारण तिमीहरूको दोष रहिरहन्छ।”

⁴¹Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
