Yuhana 9
1 Na Yesu wa cinu ukatu, a yene umong nin niduu tun umaru me.
As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
2 Nono katwa me tiringhe, “Unan dursuzu, ghari nati kulapi, amere sa anan maru me, inyaghari nta ina marughe udu.”
We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
3 Yesu kawa aworo, “Na amere sa anan marume na ti kulapi ba, ama bara inan durso katwa Kutelle litime.
Jesus replied, “His being blind was not because he or his parents sinned. Instead, [he has been blind] in order that [people can] see the power of God {the power of God can be seen} as a result of [what will now happen] to him.
4 Tima su katwa nlenge na ana tuyi a kiti dutu kanang. Kitik din cinu na umong wasa asu katwa ba.
While there is still time, I must do the work that the one who sent me [wants me to do. Just like daytime is followed by] nighttime when people do not work, [at the end of our lives] [MET] [it is too late for us to do what God wants].
5 Asa ndu nanya nyie, mere nkanang in yie.”
While I am still [living] in this world, I am the [one who enables people to know about God, like] [MET] [a] light enables the people in [MTY] this world [to see what is in the darkness].”
6 Kimal nbelun liru une, a tufuno ataf kutyen, a lumu tiwin nin natafe, a lolo iyizi nnite nin tiwine.
After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made [a little bit of] mud 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.
Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ‘sent;’ [just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus]). So the man went and washed [in the pool], and when he went home he was 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 others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn’t he?”
9 Among woro “Ameredi.” Among woro na amere ba, ama adi nafo ulele.” Ama ame wadi bellu mere di.”
Some said, “[Yes], he is.” Others said, “No, [he is not]. It is [just] a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
10 I woroghe nenge, “Inyizari iyizi fe puno.”
So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
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.”
He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam [pool] and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
12 I woroghe nenge, “Adinwe?” Akawa, “Na meng yiru ba.”
They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 I nani wa yiru unite na awa di nin niduwe idomu kiti na Farisawa.
They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
14 Liri na Sabbatari wadi na Yesu wa lumun tiwine a punghe iyize mun.
The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest). [The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
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 asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now 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.
So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man [Jesus] disobeys [our rules about working] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, (he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?) [RHQ]” So they were divided.
17 I kuru itirino uduwe tutung. Inyaghari ubelle litime bara a punfi iyizi?” Uduwe woro, “Ame u annabiari.”
So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “[I think] he is a prophet!” [So they told him to go].
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 Jewish [leaders] [SYN] still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was [now] able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man’s parents.
19 Itirino acif nnite i woro, “Usaun mire ulele na ina woro iwa marughe uduwa? Ani inyizari nene adin yenju kiti?
[When they got there], one of [the Jewish leaders] asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? [If that is true], how is he now able to see?”
20 Acif me kawa nani, “Arik yiru usaun bitari ulele, tutung iwa marughe udu.
His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
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 we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough [to answer questions from authorities like you] He can tell you 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.
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from [entering] their synagogues. His parents [knew that, so] they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
23 Bara nanere wati, acif me wa woro, “Ame nwasirna, Tirinonghe.”
That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
24 Unba tutung iyicila unite na awadi uduwe Iworoghe, “Na Kutelle ngongong. Tiyiru unit ulele unan kulaperi.”
So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. [When he got there], the [Jewish leaders] said to him, “Knowing that God [is listening] [IDM], tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
25 Unit une kawa nani, “Sa adi unan kulapi na nyiru ba. Imong irumari cas nyiru: Nwa yita udu nene ndin yenju.”
He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
26 I tunna i woroghe, “Inyaghari atafi? Apuno iyizi fe nyizari?”
So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
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?”
He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not [RHQ] pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? (Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though [IRO] you also want to become his disciples [RHQ]).”
28 Izogoghe i woro “Fere gono katwa me, arik nono katwa in Musari.
Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
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 this man, we do not know where he is from or where he [gets any authority] 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.
The man replied, “That is very surprising! You [say that] you do not know where he [gets any authority]. But he enabled me to see!
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 does not help sinners [who ask God to help them]. Instead, he listens to [and helps] godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
32 Uworu ucizinun nyie, na ina so ilanza umong puno iyizi nnit ulenge na ina marughe udu ba. (aiōn g165)
No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
33 Andi na unit ulele na nuzu kiti Kutelleri ba, na awa yinnu usu nimonmong b.”
So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
34 I kawaghe i woro, “Ina marufi vat nanya nalapi, nene umini din dursuzu narie?” Inani wa tunnun i koghe nanya kutii nlire.
They replied to him, “You (were born [as a result of your parents’] sin [EUP]/bastard)! (Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!) [RHQ]” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
35 Yesu uni wa lanza inutunghe kutii nlire, amini wa seghe aworo, “Uyinna nin Saun Nnita?”
Jesus heard [people say] that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven [is the Messiah]?”
36 A kawa aworo, “Ame ghari, Cikilari, nnan yinna ninghe?
The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
37 Yesu woroghe, “Uyeneghe, ame ulenge na adin lirue nin fi amere.”
Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
38 Unite woro, Cikilari, meng yinna.”A tunna a zazinghe.
The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped 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.”
Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge [the people in the world]. The result will be that [those who realize that they do not know God’s truth will perceive it. That is like] [MET] [enabling] those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who [falsely think] [IRO] that [they understand God’s truth will never understand it. That is like] [MET] [people] who are blind remaining blind permanently.”
40 Among A Farisawe na iwa di ligowe nanghe lanza ileli imone i tiringhe, “Arik wang aduwarie?”
Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are [like] blind people, are you?”
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.
Jesus said to them, “If you [realized that you did not yet know God’s truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like] blind people [who wanted to see. God would be able to] forgive your sins. But you are now [falsely] claiming that you [know God’s truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they] can see. [Because of that, God is not able to] forgive your sins.”
