Juan 9
1Al pasar vio a un hombre, ciego de nacimiento. And Jesus, while passing by, saw a man blind from birth.2Sus discípulos le preguntaron: “Rabí, ¿quién pecó, él o sus padres, para que naciese ciego?” And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”3Jesús les respondió: “Ni él ni sus padres, sino que ello es para que las obras de Dios sean manifestadas en él. Jesus responded: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God would be made manifest in him.4Es necesario que cumplamos las obras del que me envió, mientras es de día; viene la noche, en que ya nadie puede obrar. 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.5Mientras estoy en el mundo, soy luz de (este) mundo”. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”6Habiendo dicho esto, escupió en tierra, hizo barro con la saliva y le untó los ojos con el barro. 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.7Después le dijo: “Ve a lavarte a la piscina del Siloé”, que se traduce “El Enviado”. Fue, pues, se lavó y volvió con vista. 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.8Entonces los vecinos y los que antes lo habían visto —pues era mendigo— dijeron: “¿No es este el que estaba sentado y pedía limosna?” 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.”9Unos decían: “Es él”; otros: “No es él, sino que se le parece”. Pero él decía: “Soy yo”. But others said, “Certainly not, but he is similar to him.” Yet truly, he himself said, “I am he.”10Entonces le preguntaron: “Cómo, pues, se abrieron tus ojos” Therefore, they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”11Respondió: “Aquel hombre que se llama Jesús, hizo barro, me untó con él los ojos y me dijo: “Ve al Siloé y lávate”. Fui, me lavé y vi”. 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.”12Le preguntaron: “¿Dónde está Él?” Respondió: “No lo sé”. And they said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”13Llevaron, pues, a los fariseos al que antes había sido ciego. They brought the one who had been blind to the Pharisees.14Ahora bien, el día en que Jesús había hecho barro y le había abierto los ojos era sábado. Now it was the Sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.15Y volvieron a preguntarle los fariseos cómo había llegado a ver. Les respondió: “Puso barro sobre mis ojos, y me lavé, y veo”. 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.”16Entonces entre los fariseos, unos dijeron: “Ese hombre no es de Dios, porque no observa el sábado”. Otros, empero, dijeron: “¿Cómo puede un pecador hacer semejante milagro?” Y estaban en desacuerdo. 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.17Entonces preguntaron nuevamente al ciego: “Y tú, ¿qué dices de Él por haberte abierto los ojos?” Respondió: “Es un profeta”. 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.”18Mas los judíos no creyeron que él hubiese sido ciego y que hubiese recibido la vista, hasta que llamaron a los padres del que había recibido la vista. 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.19Les preguntaron: “¿Es este vuestro hijo, el que vosotros decís que nació ciego? Pues, ¿cómo ve ahora?” And they questioned them, saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how is it that he now sees?”20Los padres respondieron: “Sabemos que este es nuestro hijo y que nació ciego; His parents responded to them and said: “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.21pero cómo es que ahora ve, no lo sabemos; y quién le ha abierto los ojos, nosotros tampoco sabemos. Preguntádselo a él: edad tiene, él hablará por sí mismo”. 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.”22Los padres hablaron así, porque temían a los judíos. Pues estos se habían ya concertado para que quienquiera lo reconociese como Cristo, fuese excluido de la Sinagoga. 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.23Por eso sus padres dijeron: “Edad tiene, preguntadle a él”. It was for this reason that his parents said: “He is old enough. Ask him.”24Entonces llamaron por segunda vez al que había sido ciego, y le dijeron: “¡Da gloria a Dios! Nosotros sabemos que este hombre es pecador”. 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.”25Mas él repuso: “Si es pecador, no lo sé; una cosa sé, que yo era ciego, y que al presente veo”. 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.”26A lo cual le preguntaron otra vez: “¿Qué te hizo? ¿Cómo te abrió los ojos?” Then they said to him: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”27Contestoles: “Ya os lo he dicho, y no lo escuchasteis. ¿Para qué queréis oírlo de nuevo? ¿Queréis acaso vosotros también haceros sus discípulos?” 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?”28Entonces lo injuriaron y le dijeron: “Tú sé su discípulo; nosotros somos los discípulos de Moisés. Therefore, they cursed him and said: “You be his disciple. But we are disciples of Moses.29Nosotros sabemos que Dios habló a Moisés; pero este, no sabemos de dónde es”. We know that God spoke to Moses. But this man, we do not know where he is from.”30Les replicó el hombre y dijo: “He aquí lo que causa admiración, que vosotros no sepáis de dónde es Él, siendo así que me ha abierto los ojos. 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.31Sabemos que Dios no oye a los pecadores, pero al que es piadoso y hace su voluntad, a ese le oye. 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.32Nunca jamás se ha oído decir que alguien haya abierto los ojos de un ciego de nacimiento. From ancient times, it has not been heard that anyone has opened the eyes of someone born blind.33Si Él no fuera de Dios, no podría hacer nada”. Unless this man were of God, he would not be able to do any such thing.”34Ellos le respondieron diciendo: “En pecados naciste todo tú, ¿y nos vas a enseñar a nosotros?” Y lo echaron fuera. They responded and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you would teach us?” And they cast him out.35Supo Jesús que lo habían arrojado, y habiéndolo encontrado, le dijo: “¿Crees tú en el Hijo del hombre?” 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?”36Él respondió y dijo: “¿Quién es, Señor, para que crea en Él?” He responded and said, “Who is he, Lord, so that I may believe in him?”37Díjole Jesús: “Lo estás viendo, es quien te habla”. And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.”38Y él repuso: “Creo, Señor”, y lo adoró. And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And falling prostrate, he worshipped him.39Entonces Jesús dijo: “Yo he venido a este mundo para un juicio: para que vean los que no ven; y los que ven queden ciegos”. 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.”40Al oír esto, algunos fariseos que se encontraban con Él, le preguntaron: “¿Acaso también nosotros somos ciegos?” And certain Pharisees, who were with him, heard this, and they said to him, “Are we also blind?”41Jesús les respondió: “Si fuerais ciegos, no tendríais pecado. Pero ahora que decís: «vemos», vuestro pecado persiste”. Jesus said to them: “If you were blind, you would not have sin. Yet now you say, ‘We see.’ So your sin persists.”
