Yuhana 9
1 Na Yesu wa cinu ukatu, a yene umong nin niduu tun umaru me.
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
2 Nono katwa me tiringhe, “Unan dursuzu, ghari nati kulapi, amere sa anan maru me, inyaghari nta ina marughe udu.”
“Rabbi,” asked his disciples, “who was it that sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Yesu kawa aworo, “Na amere sa anan marume na ti kulapi ba, ama bara inan durso katwa Kutelle litime.
“Neither the man nor the parents,” replied Jesus, “but he was born blind so that the work of God should be made plain in him.
4 Tima su katwa nlenge na ana tuyi a kiti dutu kanang. Kitik din cinu na umong wasa asu katwa ba.
We must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Asa ndu nanya nyie, mere nkanang in yie.”
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Kimal nbelun liru une, a tufuno ataf kutyen, a lumu tiwin nin natafe, a lolo iyizi nnite nin tiwine.
Saying this, Jesus spat on the ground, made some paste with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
7 A woroghe, “Cang udi kusu kulin Siluwam (Ukpiluwe unnare 'Ulau')” Unite nya adi kusu, a kpila adin yenju.
“Go,” he said, “and wash your eyes in the Bath of Siloam” (a word which means ‘messenger’). So the man went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see.
8 Anan kupo nnite nin nalenge na i yirughe uworsu nafo unan likura iidin du, “Na unit ulele na adin sozu kikane asuzu likura ba?”
His neighbors, and those who had formerly known him by sight as a beggar, exclaimed, “Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?”
9 Among woro “Ameredi.” Among woro na amere ba, ama adi nafo ulele.” Ama ame wadi bellu mere di.”
“Yes,” some said, “it is”; while others said, “No, but he is like him.” The man himself said, “I am he.”
10 I woroghe nenge, “Inyizari iyizi fe puno.”
“How did you get your sight, then?” they asked.
11 A kawa, awor, “Unite na idin yiccughe Yesu nni lumu tiwin amini loloo niyizi ninghe, aminin woro, 'Can Usiluwam udi kusu.' Mminin nin do ndi kusu, mminin tunna yenju kiti.”
“The man whom they call Jesus,” he answered, “made a paste, and anointed my eyes, and said to me ‘Go to Siloam and wash your eyes.’ So I went and washed my eyes, and gained my sight.”
12 I woroghe nenge, “Adinwe?” Akawa, “Na meng yiru ba.”
“Where is he?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
13 I nani wa yiru unite na awa di nin niduwe idomu kiti na Farisawa.
They took the man, who had been blind, to the Pharisees.
14 Liri na Sabbatari wadi na Yesu wa lumun tiwine a punghe iyize mun.
Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the paste and gave him his sight.
15 A Farisawe kuru itiringhe inyizari ase uyenu kiti. A woro nani, “Ani ta tiwin niyizi ninghe, Mminin kussu, nene ndin yenju kiti.”
So the Pharisees also questioned the man as to how he had gained his sight. “He put a paste on my eyes,” he answered, “and I washed them, and I can see.”
16 Among Afarisawa woro, “Na unit ulele na nuzu kiti Kutellari ba, bara na adin dortu Asabbat ba.” Among woro. “Ima ti inyizari unit ule na adi nin kulapi su nmusu nilenge imone?” Nwase usalin munu nati kitik mine.
“The man cannot be from God,” said some of the Pharisees, “for he does not keep the Sabbath.” “How is it possible,” retorted others, “for a bad man to give signs like this?”
17 I kuru itirino uduwe tutung. Inyaghari ubelle litime bara a punfi iyizi?” Uduwe woro, “Ame u annabiari.”
So there was a difference of opinion among them, and they again questioned the man. “What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?”
18 Na Yahudawa wa yinin ni liru liti nnite nworu awa di udu aminin se uyenju kiti se na iwa yicila acif nnite na ana se uyenju kit.
The religious authorities, however, refused to believe that he had been blind and had gained his sight, until they had called his parents and questioned them.
19 Itirino acif nnite i woro, “Usaun mire ulele na ina woro iwa marughe uduwa? Ani inyizari nene adin yenju kiti?
“Is this your son,” they asked, “who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?”
20 Acif me kawa nani, “Arik yiru usaun bitari ulele, tutung iwa marughe udu.
“We know that this is our son,” answered the parents, “and that he was born blind;
21 Ita inyizari adin yenju kiti nene na arik yiru ba, saghari npunghe iyize, na arik yiruba. Tinonghe. Amal waurnu. Awasa asu uliru nin liti me.”
but how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him – he is old enough – he will tell you about himself.”
22 Acife wasu uleli ulire bara na iwa din lanzu fiu na Yahudawa. Bara a Ayahudawe wa di imal yinnun nworu asa umong nyinna Yesu Kristari, ima nutunghe nanya kutii nlira.
His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the authorities; for the authorities had already agreed that, if anyone should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.
23 Bara nanere wati, acif me wa woro, “Ame nwasirna, Tirinonghe.”
This was why his parents said ‘He is old enough; ask him.’
24 Unba tutung iyicila unite na awadi uduwe Iworoghe, “Na Kutelle ngongong. Tiyiru unit ulele unan kulaperi.”
So the authorities again called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give God the praise; we know that this is a bad man.”
25 Unit une kawa nani, “Sa adi unan kulapi na nyiru ba. Imong irumari cas nyiru: Nwa yita udu nene ndin yenju.”
“I know nothing about his being a bad man,” he replied. “One thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I can see.”
26 I tunna i woroghe, “Inyaghari atafi? Apuno iyizi fe nyizari?”
“What did he do to you?” they asked. “How did he give you your sight?”
27 A kawa, “Mmal bellin minu, inani nari ulanzue! Inyaghari nta idin su ikuru nlanza tutung? Anung wang dinin su ikuru iso nono katwa mere?”
“I told you just now,” he answered, “and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Surely you also do not want to become his disciples?”
28 Izogoghe i woro “Fere gono katwa me, arik nono katwa in Musari.
“You are his disciple,” they retorted scornfully. “But we are disciples of Moses.
29 Arik yiru Kutelle wa su uliru nin Musa, ama unit ulele na tiyiru sa ana nuzun nweri ba.”
We know that God spoke to Moses; but, as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.”
30 Unite kawa aworo nani, “Inyaghari, ilele imong izikikikari, au na anung yiru sa ana nuzun nweri ba, vat nin nani aminin puno iyizi nin.
“Well,” the man replied, “this is very strange; you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has given me my sight!
31 Tiyiru nworu na Kutelle din lanzu anan nalapi ba, ama andi vat nnit ule na adi lanzu uliru Kutelle amin din su imon nsu me, Kutelle din lanzughe.
We know that God never listens to bad people, but, when a person is god-fearing and does God’s will, God listens to them.
32 Uworu ucizinun nyie, na ina so ilanza umong puno iyizi nnit ulenge na ina marughe udu ba. (aiōn g165)
Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as anyone’s giving sight to a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Andi na unit ulele na nuzu kiti Kutelleri ba, na awa yinnu usu nimonmong b.”
If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.”
34 I kawaghe i woro, “Ina marufi vat nanya nalapi, nene umini din dursuzu narie?” Inani wa tunnun i koghe nanya kutii nlire.
“You,” they retorted, “were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?” So they expelled him.
35 Yesu uni wa lanza inutunghe kutii nlire, amini wa seghe aworo, “Uyinna nin Saun Nnita?”
Jesus heard of their having put him out; and, when he had found the man, he asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 A kawa aworo, “Ame ghari, Cikilari, nnan yinna ninghe?
“Tell me who he is, Sir,” he replied, “so that I may believe in him.”
37 Yesu woroghe, “Uyeneghe, ame ulenge na adin lirue nin fi amere.”
“Not only have you seen him,” said Jesus, “but it is he who is now speaking to you.”
38 Unite woro, Cikilari, meng yinna.”A tunna a zazinghe.
“Then, Sir, I do believe,” said the man, bowing to the ground before him;
39 Yesu woro, “Bara ushara wari nna dak nanya nyi ulele, bara anan salin yenju nan se uyenju, anan yenje tutung nan ta aduu.”
and Jesus added, “It was to put people to the test that I came into this world, in order that those that cannot see should see, and that those that can see should become blind.”
40 Among A Farisawe na iwa di ligowe nanghe lanza ileli imone i tiringhe, “Arik wang aduwarie?”
Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him said, “Then are we blind too?”
41 Yesu woro nani, “Ndafo idi aduu, na iwa yitu nin nalapi ba. Vat nani, nene inin woro, 'Tidin yenju,' bara nani, alapi mine nlawa nanghinu.
“If you had been blind,” replied Jesus, “you would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, you say ‘We can see,’ and so your sin remains.
