أهذا ابنكم

Is this your son?

الذي تقولان أنه ولد أعمى

The one you both say was born blind.

فكيف يبصر الآن

So how can he see now?

أجاب أبويه وقال

He answered his parents and said.

نحن نعلم أن هذا

We know that this.

ولدنا

We were born.

وأننا ولدنا أعمى

"And that we were born blind."

أما كيف يبصر الآن فلا نعلم

As for how he sees now, we do not know.

أو من فتح عينيه

Or he who opened his eyes.

فلا نعلم

So we do not know.

هو كامل السن سألوه

He is of full age, they asked him.

ليتكلم عن نفسه

He should talk about himself.

قال أبويه هذا لأنهما

His parents said this because they

كان خفافان اليهود

The Jews were light-hearted.

The Jews had decided that...

إن اعترف أحد بأنه المسيح

If someone confesses that he is the Messiah.

يخرج من المجمع

He is leaving the mall.

لذلك قال أبويه أنه كامل السن سليم

Therefore, his parents said that he is of full age and sound.

فدعوا ثانيا رجل الذي كان أعمى

So they called the man who had been blind again.

وقالوا له

And they said to him.

يعطي مجدا لله

Glory be to God.

نحن نعلم أن هذا الإنسان خاطئ

We know that this person is wrong.

So the one who was blind responded by saying

إن كان خاطئا

If it is wrong.

فلا أعلم

I do not know.

إنما أعرف شيئا واحدا

They said to him, "What have they done to you?"

كيف فتح عينيك

How did you open your eyes?

أجابهم

He answered them.

قد قلت لكم فلم تسمعوا

I told you, but you did not listen.

فماذا تريدون

So what do you want?

أن تسمعوا أيضا

To hear also.

هل تريدون أن تصيروا له تلميذ

Do you want to become his student?

فشتموه قائلين أنت تلميذ ذاك

They cursed him, saying, "You are a disciple of that one."

أما نحن

As for us

فإننا تلميذ موسى

For we are the students of Moses.

ونحن نعلم أن الله كلم موسى وأما هذا

And we know that Allah spoke to Moses, but this.

فلا نعلم من أين هو

So we do not know where he is from.

أجاب الرجل قال لهم

The man answered them.

إن كن هذا أيضا

If this is also the case.

إن هذا أيضا لعجب

This is indeed surprising.

أنكم لا تعرفون من أين هو

That you do not know where he is from.

وقد فتح عينيه

And he opened his eyes.

ونعلم أن الله لا يسمع

And we know that Allah does not hear.

للقطاع

For the sector

لكن

But

إن كن أحد له عابدا

If there is anyone who worships Him.

ولإرادته صانعا

"And for His will as a creator."

فلهذا يسمع

That is why it is heard.

منذ الظهر لم يسمع أن أحدا فتح عيني مولود أعمى

Since noon, no one has heard that anyone has opened the eyes of a blind newborn.

فلولم يسمع مولود أعمى為什麼

If a blind person was not hearing, why?

فة Whoa發現 a blind man does not hear! Because he was born blind until he was born blind so if he didn't see anyone who opened his eyes

Whoa, a blind man does not hear! Because he was born blind until he was born blind, so if he didn't see anyone who opened his eyes.

يكون هذا من الله

This is from God.

When he was able to do something.

أجابوا وقالوا له

They answered and said to him.

أنت بجملتك مولود في الخطيئة

You are, in your sentence, born in sin.

وأنت تعلمنا

And you teach us.

فأخرجوه خارجا

So take him outside.

فسمع يسوع أنهم

And Jesus heard that they

أخرجوه خارجا

Take him outside.

فوجده وقال له

He found him and said to him.

أتؤمن أنت بابن الله

Do you believe in the Son of God?

أجاب ذاك

فقال أؤمن يا رب وسجد لهم

He said, "I believe, O Lord," and he prostrated to them.

فقال

He said

يسوع أتيت أنا دينون للعالم

Jesus, I have come to judge the world.

حتى يبصر العميان

Until the blind can see.

ويعمل مصرون

And they work hard.

فسمع قوم الفرسيين

And the people of the Persians heard.

الذين كانوا معه وقالوا

Those who were with him said

له

To him.

لعلنا نحن أيضا عميان

Perhaps we are also blind.

فقال لهم يسوع

Jesus said to them.

لو كنتم عميانا لما

If you were blind, then...

كانت لكم خطية

You had a sin.

والآن تقولون أننا نبصر

And now you say that we can see.

فخطيئتكم باقية

And your sin remains.

والمجد لله دائما أبدا

And glory be to God always and forever.

This means that this conversation was between Jesus Christ and his disciples.

وده قاعد بيستعطي ومش واخد باله من الحوار خالص

This chapter is one of the long chapters in the Gospel of Saint John.

ماهي المسيح في البداية يعني

What does "Christ" mean in the beginning?

قال له روحي اختسل فأم راح ورجع مبصرا

دي كانت النتيجة

That was the result.

وما كانش يعرف السيد المسيح إن هو ماشي أعمى

And he didn't know that Lord Christ was walking blind.

وبركة سلوان تبعد مسافة عن المكان اللي هما فيه

The Selwan Oasis is located at a distance from the place they are at.

فما كانش يشوف يسوع

He couldn't see Jesus.

لأنه طول ما هو ماشي مازال أعمى لحد ما راح نضف وشه واختسل وشه من البركة

Because as long as he was walking, he was still blind until he washed his face and cleaned himself from the puddle.

هنا أبصر

Here I see.

فما كانش لحد الوقت الشخص ده شاف يسوع

No one had seen Jesus until that moment.

ولما اليهود سألوه قالهم واحد اسمه يسوع

When the Jews asked him, he said one named Jesus.

مين اللي شافه قالهم واحد اسمه يسوع

Whoever saw him told them it was a man named Jesus.

طب فين معرفش أنا مشيت أعمى من عنده

يعني آخر اللقاء بي كنت ما زلت أعمى

It means that by the end of the meeting with you, I was still blind.

ومشيت معرفش هو فيني ما عنديش فكرة

And I walked, not knowing what was in me, I have no idea.

فما كانش له سابق معرفة بالسيد المسيح

He had no prior knowledge of Mr. Christ.

بالنسبة للإنسان الأعمى ده

Regarding that blind person.

مش السيد المسيح بس إداله بصر وبصيرة

It is not just the Lord Christ who gave him sight and insight.

خارجية مدلوش نظر بس

Only a superficial impression.

ينظر الأشياء المادية لأن العين دي

العين دي ما تبصرش ما هو غير مادي

The eye does not perceive what is immaterial.

الأشياء الروحية العين دي

The spiritual things are in the eye.

أما تقع عليها ما تقدرش تشوفها

But you can't see it clearly.

والعين دي من غير نور هي ما فهاش البصر

And this eye, without light, has no sight.

العين دي بدون النور

This eye is without light.

لو هي الإنسان مفتح في مكان ظلمة

If she is the person opened in a place of darkness.

ما زالت العين دي مش هتستطيع رؤية أي شيء

This eye still won't be able to see anything.

فبالنسبة للإنسان الأعمى مش السيد المسيح بس إداله

As for the blind person, it is not only the Lord Christ who has given him.

عاد له البصر بتاعه ده عامل معاه حاجات

His vision has returned; it's doing things for him.

يعني ألا بحياته 180 درجة

It means that in his life, there is a 180-degree change.

كان إنسان مش درجة تانية يعني

He was a person, not a second-rate one, you know.

إحدى بنسمع عن الستيزن في الساكن تلاس ستيزن

We hear about Citizen in the second season.

والناس الموطنين درجة تانية وثالثة

And the people who are citizens are of the second and third degree.

A person born blind means that people believe this way.

كلهم الناس تشاور عليه تقول ده إنسان أعمى

Everyone is consulting about him, saying he is a blind person.

فيه عاقة فيه خطية كمان

There is disobedience in it, and there is sin as well.

كل الناس تشاور عليه ده معروف إن إنسان ده

Everyone talks about him; it's well known that this person...

هو أو عيلته أو أبويه فيه خطية

He or his family or his parents are in sin.

اتحرم وهو صغير طبعا من ناملة البصر

He was deprived of the ability to see clearly when he was young.

ما كانش بيشوف زي بقية الناس تولد ما بيشوفش

He couldn't see like other people; he was born unable to see.

اتحرم من إنه في طفولته مثلا

Is it forbidden for him to have, for example, in his childhood?

إنه يستمتع مع بقية الأولاد ويلعب زيهم

He is enjoying himself with the other boys and playing like them.

ويبقاله الحياة الطبيعية زي بقية الأولاد

And he deserves a normal life like the rest of the kids.

بما إنه إنسان خاطي هم حاكموا عليه

Since he is a sinful person, they judged him.

إنه خاطي في الفكر اللي كان عاوز تصليح في الوقت ده

He is mistaken in the thought that he wanted to fix at that time.

طبعا مش من حقه ليخش الهيكل وليخش المجمع

Of course, it is not his right to enter the temple and the synagogue.

أنا عشان خش المجامع المحلية والهيكل

I am going to enter the local assemblies and the structure.

قبل الدخول لازم أروح أقدم زبيحة

Before entering, I need to go offer a sacrifice.

والكاين ياخدها مني زبيحة الخطية

And the one who takes it from me is the sacrificial sin.

وعشان

And because

عشان أقدر أكفر عن خطياي عن طريق الكاين ياخد الزبيحة

In order to atone for my sins through what the offering can take.

وبعدين أقدر أدخل الأماكن دي

And then I can enter these places.

غير كده لا ليه يدخل هيكل ولا ليه يدخل المجامع

Otherwise, why should he enter the structure or why should he enter the assemblies?

فمن صغره وهو ما عندوش وصر

"Since he was little, he has nothing and he remains."

من صغره هو ما بيستمتعش بحياته

Since he was young, he hasn't enjoyed his life.

ما عندوش حق لما كده شوية يدخل المجمع ولا الهيكل

He has no right to enter the complex or the temple like that.

وكمان إنسان ما يقدرش يعيش يمكن إمكانة النهاردة

And also, a person cannot live without their capabilities today.

العلم بيتدخل في أمور كتيرة ونشكر الله عليه

Science intervenes in many matters, and we thank God for it.

لكن مزاي الامكانيات زمان ما كانتش زي النهاردة

But the advantages of capabilities back then weren't like today.

فالإنسان الأعمى ده يعمل إيه في حياته غير إنه يروح يشحق مالوش أي حاجة

What can a blind person do in life other than going to beg for something they don't have?

يصحى الصبح بينام فين سواء عايش في بيته أو مش في بيته

The morning wakes up, where does he sleep, whether he is living in his house or not in his house?

شغلته إنه يروح يستعطي ويعتمد على الآخرين

He got him to go begging and rely on others.

حتى مقدرش يعتمد على نفسه في إنه

He can't even rely on himself to...

يقتات وإنه يكسب عيشه بكرامة زي بقية الناس

He earns his living with dignity like the rest of the people.

مش بس التلاميذ شافوا كده كمان الفرسيين

Not only the students saw that, but also the Pharisees.

كانوا شايفين إنه هذا الإنسان خاطئ

They believed that this person was wrong.

مش الفكرة ده كانت سايد بس عند الفرسيين

The idea wasn't just a side thing for the Persians.

ده كان عند التلاميذ كمان كل الناس كانت تشوف إن ده خاطئ

This was with the students, and everyone could see that this was wrong.

الفرسيين يقولوا عليه في الخطايا ولدت

The Persians say about him, "Born in sins."

يعني أنت ولدت أعمى يعني ولدت في الخطايا أنت بجملتك

It means you were born blind, meaning you were born in sin entirely.

كلك كده على بعضك خطية جملة خطية وكنت في الخطايا

You are all sinful as a whole, a complete sin, and you were in sins.

منذ ولدتك لما دخل معهم في حوار وقال لهم

Since you were born, he entered into a dialogue with them and said to them.

أنتوا قال عليكم تريدوا أن تصيروا تلاميذ له

You said you want to become his students.

طبعا شتموه وأهنوه وهو استحق إنه

Of course they insulted and humiliated him, and he deserved it.

من أجل السيد المسيح ياخد المهانة يعني هو كان بيحلم طول عمره

For the sake of Christ, he takes humiliation, meaning he has been dreaming his whole life.

إنه يبقى بني آدم زي البني أدمين التانية يعني

He remains a human being like other human beings, I mean.

كان يعيش حياة غير آدمية الأعمى في الوقت ده فكان كل

He was living an inhumane life, the blind man at that time, so everything was...

أمنيته في الحياة إنه يبقى بس زي بني أدمين

His wish in life is to just be like human beings.

ويقدر يشتغل ويقدر يدخل المجمع ويقدر يتحرك ويعتمد

He can work, he can enter the complex, he can move, and he can be independent.

على نفسه يتحرم من ده كله واليوم اللي تم فيه

He deprives himself of all this and the day it happened.

إنه استعاد البصر يقول أخرجوه

"He has regained his sight, he says, 'Take him out.'"

من المجمع يعني ملحقش يتهنى

"From the gathering means he didn't get a chance to enjoy himself."

بالنعمة أو بالامتيازات اللي كانت تحقله

With the grace or the privileges that he used to have.

كإنسان مبصر اضطرد من المجمع لكن

As a sighted person, he was expelled from the community, but...

هذا الإنسان احتمل واشترك مع المسيح

This person endured and shared with Christ.

في الألام واشترك مع المسيح في المهانة من أجل

In the suffering and participated with Christ in the disgrace for

ارتباطه للمسيح يعني كان ممكن

His connection to Christ means it was possible.

طبعا الإنسان لما بيفتح أو الإنسان اللي فقد البصر

Of course, when a person opens up or a person who has lost their sight.

ويبدو إنه ما كانش إسهال المسيح عمل عملية خلقة للعين

It seems that the diarrhea of Christ did not perform a creation operation for the eye.

كلها فطبعا شكل الإنسان

All of them, so of course the shape of a human.

الأعمى ده وهو أعمى لو حطنا له

This blind man, even though he is blind, if we put for him...

عينين هيبقى حاجة الناس مش هتتعرف عليه لشان كده الناس كان

His eyes will be something people won't recognize, that's why people were...

تتساءل هو ده ولا مش هو والناس

You're wondering if it's him or not and the people.

اتلخبطت فيه لأنه شكله على بعضه الخارجي

I got confused by it because its exterior looks similar all over.

حتى اختلف تماما وابتدى يمشي لوحده كان لازم

Until he completely changed and started walking by himself, it was necessary.

حد يشده أو يمشي يتعصر فأصبح إنسان من

Someone pulls him or he walks and feels squeezed, so he became a person from.

الخارج شكله إنسان بني آدم طبيعي كل ملامع

The outside looks like a natural human being with all the features.

حيانه ووشه إنسان عادي إنسان بيتحرك

A good life and the face of an ordinary person, a person who moves.

فناس كتير قالت مش هو لأنه قالوا عمري

Many people said it's not him because they said my age.

شوفوه قاعد في نفس المكان على باب الهيكل والناس

Look at him sitting in the same place at the temple gate and the people.

وبدون هو جيتنا البصيرة عشان نعرف الحق

And without him, insight comes to us so that we may know the truth.

قبل كده الناس ما كانتش تعرف الحق الناس كان قدامها الحق

لأنه السيد المسيح قال أنا هو النور

Because Lord Christ said, "I am the light."

وقال أنا هو الطريق وأنا هو الحق وأنا هو الحياة

And he said, "I am the way, and I am the truth, and I am the life."

ومش على استعداد ياخدوا بصيرة

"And they're not willing to take insight."

فما إدروش زي ما بيقول القديس إحنا يتعرفوا على الحق فالسيد المسيح

"Therefore, as the saint says, we come to know the truth in the Lord Christ."

أعطانا بصيرة لنعرف الحق ونحن في الحق في

Or did he not understand, do you rely on me wanting to see or not wanting to see?

ناس شافوه بالألفات

السيد المسيح في حواره مع الإنسان ده قال له كلمتين في الآخر خالص

Lord Christ, in His dialogue with man, said to him two words at the very end.

قال له

He said to him.

أتؤمن أنت بإذن الله

Do you believe, with God's permission?

آية واحدة أجاب ذاك وقال من هو

One verse answered that and said, "Who is he?"

السيد يؤمن به فقال له يسوع أنك تراه هو الذي يكلمه

The man believes in him, and Jesus said to him, "You see him; he is the one who speaks to you."

فقال أؤمن يا رب وسجد له

He said, "I believe, O Lord," and he prostrated to Him.

ده كان الحوار المختصر عند الإنسان المولود أعمى

This was the brief dialogue with the man who was born blind.

لأنه المسيح ده له بصيرة

Because this Christ has insight.

قبل كده إصحاحات كاملة وحوارات طويلة جدا

Before, there were complete chapters and very long dialogues.

دي بس اللي تسجلت في الكتب لكن الناس رفضها

This is just what was recorded in the books, but the people rejected it.

والناس مش عاوزة بالرغم أن هما مفتاحين

And people don't want it even though they are the key.

ويشوفوا الأعمال ويشوفوا حاجات ويعرفوا ويدركوا أنه ده أعمال الله اللي يعملها

"They see the deeds and observe things and come to know and realize that these are the works of God."

محدش مفيش إنسان تاني بالرغم أن كان عندهم

No one, there isn't another person even though they had one.

الكتب والمعرفة بالكتب بالرغم أن هما

Books and knowledge are about books, even though they are.

فاكرين كويس قوي كل الأنبياء أشعية ونحمية

Do you remember well all the prophets, Isaiah and Nehemiah?

وذاكرية وتكلموا وشوروا وما ينفعش إن إنسان يكون غير

"And they talked and consulted, and it is not right for a person to be otherwise."

هو المسيح هو ده الشخص اللي بتكلم عليه النبوات

He is the Messiah, he is the person that the prophecies are talking about.

يقول في أشعية روح سيد الرب علي

It says in Isaiah, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me."

لأن الرب مسحني لأبشر المساكين أرسلني

"Because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor; he has sent me."

لأعصب منكسر القلب لأنادي للمسبيين

I will call out for the captives with a heart broken by sorrow.

بالعتق وللمأسورين بالإطلاق أجعلك

"With liberation, I make you free for the captives."

عهدا للشعب ونورا للأمم لتفتح عيون العمي

A promise to the people and a light for nations to open the eyes of the blind.

ولما سأل

And when he asked

يوحنا المعمدان بقى التلاميذ وسألوا السيد المسيح قال لهم

John the Baptist remained with the disciples and asked the Lord Jesus, saying to them...

قولوله إن العمي يبصرون والعرج يمشون

Tell him that the blind can see and the lame can walk.

والبرس يطهرون والصم يسمعون والموت يقومون

"And the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised."

والمساكين يبشرون مين اللي خلى الناس

And the poor ones are glad; who made people?

دي تعمل كده مين اللي منح البصر والشفاء

"Who gave sight and healing to do this?"

فقولوله إن هو ده اللي كان بتشاور عنه النبوات فالناس اللي كانت حافظة

So tell him that this is what the prophecies were referring to, for the people who were keeping it in mind.

النبوات والناس اللي عندها معرفة الكتب

The prophecies and the people who have knowledge of the books.

ومعرفة وسيقة بالكتب وحفظها عن ظهر قلب كان فقطهم

A deep knowledge of books and memorizing them by heart was only theirs.

عنصر البصيرة اللي لما تيجي

The element of insight that comes when it arrives.

لما يجي الحق يعرفوا إن هو ده يربطوا اللي حفظوه

When the truth comes, they know that this is it, and they connect it with what they have memorized.

عن ظهر قلب ويربطوا النبوات يقولوا هو فعلا ده اللي كان

By heart, and they connect the prophecies, saying this is indeed what it was.

بيتكلم عن النبوات لكن كان فقتهم عنصر البصيرة

He talks about prophecies, but at that time there was an element of insight.

شافوا بعينيهم وحفظوا

They saw it with their own eyes and remembered.

ذهنهم وعرفوا كويس قوي كل النبوات دي

Their minds understood well all these prophecies.

لكن كان فقتهم البصيرة عشان يعرفوا

But they lacked insight to understand.

يتعرفوا عن الحق زي ما يقوله قديس محمد في الكاثوليكون

They recognize the truth as Saint Muhammad says in the Catholicon.

النهاردة شافوا

Today they saw.

على عكس كده شافوا السيد المسيح إنه إنسان خاطئ

On the contrary, they saw that Jesus Christ was a sinful man.

طبعا إنسان بيكسر السبت ده كان يستحق الرجل

Of course, a person who breaks the Sabbath deserves that man.

وإنه يموتوه وكذا مرة فعلا حاولوا

"And indeed, they are trying to kill him, and they have actually tried multiple times."

يلتقطوا حجارة ويموتوه لكن في عينهم

"They pick up stones and kill him, but in their eyes."

لأن مفيش بصيرة كانوا شايفينه إن إنسان خاطئ

Because there was no insight, they saw him as a sinful person.

ولا يحفظ السبت ونحن نعلم أن هذا الإنسان

"This person does not keep the Sabbath, and we know that."

خاطئ لما نقرأ كلمة

Wrong when we read the word.

الله ونقرأ إنجيل النهاردة ونسمعه

God, and we read today's Gospel and listen to it.

ما نشاورش على الفرسيين ولا نشاور على اليهود يقول كان قدامهم

"I don’t consult the Persians or the Jews, he said there was someone in front of them."

الحق ومعرفوش أو ما محبوش

The truth, and they either don't know it or don't love it.

ورفضوا إن هما يستنيروا

And they refused to enlighten themselves.

بنور السيد المسيح أقول على نفسي أنا إيه أنا جزء

By the light of Lord Christ, I say about myself, what am I? I am a part.

من البشرية دي كلها أنا بالنسبة لي

From all of humanity, I am, for me.

لما هتعرف على الحق لما

When will you know the truth when?

أستنير كده وأخذ الاستنارة في المعمودية

I enlighten like this and take the enlightenment in baptism.

وأخذ الروح القدس هكمل حياتي عملا إزاي

And how will the Holy Spirit complete my life’s work?

فما بصش بعيد أبص على نفسي وأشوف كده كادت النتيجة

"So don't look far, look at myself and see how the result was."

إيه إنه ناس كتير رافضت وناس قليلين هما اللي

Yes, many people rejected it, and only a few are the ones who...

قبلوا وقبلوا الاستنارة في حياتهم فالسيد المسيح

They accepted and embraced enlightenment in their lives through Lord Christ.

في آخر إنجيل يقول

In the final Gospel, it says

فقال يسوع أتيت وأنا دينون للعالم حتى يبصوا العميان

Jesus said, "I came as a judgment for the world so that the blind may see."

ويعمل مبصرون فهو قبل كده قال أنا

And the sighted ones are working, for he said before, "I am."

ما جئت لأدين العالم فهو هنا مش بيغير كلامه

I didn't come to judge the world, for it is here that it doesn't change its words.

يقول أتيت دينون لكن ما جئي أصبح

He says I came to judgment but what came has not become.

محدش بعد كده يقول عنده حج وجودي في العالم

No one should say they have existential حج in the world anymore.

ومنحت النور للعالم ومنحت بصيرة

"And you granted light to the world and bestowed insight."

لكل إنسان عاوز بصيرة محدش عنده حج فتلقائي

Every person who wants insight has no excuses, so it comes naturally.

كده من تلقاء وجودي السيد المسيح في العالم ومروره في العالم

This is due to the presence of Lord Jesus Christ in the world and His passing through the world.

وتجسده أصبح دينون يعني محدش بعد كده

And his embodiment has become a judgment, meaning no one after that.

عنده حج مش هو هيدين ولا جاء يدين جاء ليخلص

He has a pilgrimage, but he is not the one to judge, nor has he come to judge; he has come to fulfill.

ليس ليدين العالم لكن وجوده أصبح

The world does not have hands, but its existence has become.

يعني

It means.

إدانة أو

Condemnation or

محدش يتحج محدش يقدر يقول أنا ما عنديش فالحجة

"No one should make excuses; no one can say I don't have a valid reason."

دي شالها السيد المسيح لأنه ادى إنارة للعالم

He is the one whom Christ took because he brought light to the world.

فأصبح وجوده هو طبيعة وجوده في العالم

His existence has become the nature of his existence in the world.

دينونا وتذكرة للعالم وتبكيت للعالم وتبكيت

A debt and a reminder for the world and a reprimand for the world and a reprimand.

لدمائرنا ونفسنا إن المسيح عاوز يمنحنا

"For our conscience and our souls, Christ wants to grant us."

البصيرة عشان نقدر ندرك الحق هنقرا الإنجيل

Insight so that we can perceive the truth, we will read the Gospel.

وهنتناول من الأسرار المقدسة لكن لو مفيش بصيرة

We will discuss the sacred secrets, but if there is no insight.

لو مش عاوزين لو رفضينا الاستنارة هنقعد نقرا

If you don't want to, if you refuse enlightenment, we will sit and read.

ومش هيبقى فيه

And there won't be أي.

الاستنارة داخل الحاجة ربنا يدينا نعمة كده إنو

Enlightenment within need, may God grant us such grace that...

الحد ده ندرك إن ده حد الاستنارة

This is the limit we realize is the limit of enlightenment.

والمسيح عاوز بيقول جئتوا نور للعالم

And Christ wants to say, "I have come as a light to the world."

وإحنا جزء معا كل فرد فينا المسيح يجي عشان يمنحه بصيرة

And we are part of each individual in us, so that Christ may come to grant him insight.

ويمنحنا خلاص وندرك كده كلمة الإنجيل وكلمة

"And it gives us salvation, and we realize the word of the Gospel and the word."

الخلاص اللي جاية ديها النساء المسيح ولربنا المجد دائما

The salvation that is coming is for the women of Christ, and to our Lord be glory forever.
