Joan 9
1 Eta iragaiten cela Iesusec ikus ceçan guiçon sortzetic itsubat.
As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
2 Eta interroga ceçaten bere discipuluéc. erraiten cutela. Magistruá, Ceinec bekatu eguin du, hunec ala hunen aitaméc, hunela itsu sor ledin?
We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
3 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Ez hunec bekatu eguin du, ez hunen aitaméc: baina itsu iayo da, Iaincoaren obrác manifesta litecençat hunetan.
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 Ni igorri nauenaren obrác eguin behar ditut, eguna deno: badatorque gaua noiz nehorc ecin obraric baitaidi.
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 Munduan naiceno, munduaren Arguia naiz.
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 Haur erran çuenean thu eguin ceçan lurrera, eta eguin ceçan lohi thutic, eta lohi harçaz frota citzan itsuaren beguiac:
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 Eta erran cieçon, Oha garbitzera Siloe, igorria erran nahi deneco ikuzgarrira. Ioan cedin bada, eta garbi cedin, eta itzul cedin ikusten çuela.
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 Bada auçoéc, eta lehen ikussi çutenéc ecen itsu cela, erraiten çutén, Ezta haur iarriric ohi cegoena eta escatzen cena?
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 Batzuc erraiten çutén, Haur da: eta bercéc, Hura dirudi, Baina berac erraiten çuen, Ni naiz hura.
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 Erran cieçoten bada, Nolatan irequi içan dirade hire beguiac?
So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
11 Ihardets ceçan harc, eta erran ceçan, Iesus deitzen den guiconac lohi eguin du, eta frotatu ditu ene beguiac, eta erran draut, Oha Siloeco ikuzgarrira, eta garbi adi. Bada ioanic eta garbituric ikustea recebitu dut.
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 Orduan erran cieçoten, Non da hura? Dio, Eztaquit.
They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 Eramaiten dute itsu ohi cen hura Phariseuetara.
They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
14 Eta cen Sabbathoa Iesusec lohia eguin çuenean eta haren beguiac irequi cituenean.
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 Berriz bada interroga ceçaten hura Phariseuéc-ere nolatan ikustea recebitu çuen. Eta harc erran ciecén, Lohi eçarri vkan draut neure beguién gainera, eta garbitu naiz, eta ikusten dut.
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 Erraiten çuten bada Phariseuetaric batzuc, Guiçon haur ezta Iaincoaganic: ecen Sabbathoa eztu beguiratzen. Bercéc erraiten çuten, Nolatan guiçon vicitze gaichtotaco batec sign hauc eguin ahal ditzaque? Eta dissensione cen hayén artean.
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 Erraiten draucate itsuari berriz, Hic cer dioc harçaz, ceren beguiac irequi drauzquian? Eta harc erran ceçan, Propheta dela.
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 Baina etzeçaten sinhets Iuduéc harçaz, ecen itsu içan cela, eta ikustea recebitu çuela, ikustea recebitu çuenaren aitamác dei litzaqueteno:
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 Eta interroga citzaten hec, cioitela, Haur da çuen seme çuec itsu iayo cela dioçuena? nolatan bada orain dacussa?
[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 Ihardets ciecén haren aitaméc, eta erran ceçaten, Badaquigu ecen haur dela gure semea, eta itsu iayo içan dela:
His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
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 Gauça hauc erran citzaten haren aitaméc, ceren beldur baitziraden Iuduén: ecen ia ordenatu çuten Iuduéc, baldin nehorc aithor baleça hura licela Christ, synagogatic iraitz ledin.
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 Halacotz haren aitaméc erran ceçaten, Adin du, bera interroga eçaçue.
That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
24 Dei ceçaten bada bigarren aldian guiçon itsu içana, eta erran cieçoten, Emóc gloria Iaincoari: guc bacequiagu ecen guiçon hori gaichtoa dela.
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 Ihardets ceçan bada harc, eta erran ceçan, Gaichto denez eztaquit: gauçabat badaquit, ecen itsu nincelaric orain badacussadala.
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 Eta erran cieçoten berriz, Cer eguin drauc? nolatan irequi ditu hire beguiac?
So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
27 Ihardets ciecén, Ia erran drauçuet, eta eztuçue ençun: cergatic berriz ençun nahi duçue? ala çuec-ere haren discipulu eguin nahi çarete?
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 Orduan iniuria ceçaten hura, eta erran ceçaten, Aicén hi haren discipulu: guçaz den becembatean, Moysesen discipulu gaituc.
Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
29 Guc baceaquiagu ecen Moysesi minçatu içan çayola Iaincoa: baina haur nondic den etzeaquiagu.
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 Ihardets ceçan guiçonac eta erran ciecén, Segur, hunetan da miraculua, ceren çuec ezpaitaquiçue nondic den, eta irequi baititu ene beguiac.
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 Eta badaquigu ecen Iaincoac vicitze gaichtotacoac eztituela ençuten: baina baldin norbeit Iaincoaren cerbitzari bada, eta haren vorondatea eguiten badu, hura ençuten du.
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.
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 Baldin ezpaliz haur Iaincoaganic, deus ecin laidi.
So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
34 Ihardets ceçaten eta erran cieçoten, Hi bekatutan sorthua aiz guciori, eta hic iracasten gaituc gu? Eta iraitz ceçaten hura campora.
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 Ençun ceçan Iesusec nola egotzi vkan çuten hura campora: eta eriden çuenean hura, erran cieçón, Sinhesten duc hic Iaincoaren Semea baithan?
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 Ihardets ceçan harc eta erran ceçan, Eta nor da, Iauna, sinhets deçadan hura baithan?
The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
37 Eta erran cieçon Iesusec, Eta ikussi duc hura, eta hirequin minço dena duc hura.
Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
38 Eta harc dio, Sinhesten diat, Iauna. Eta adora ceçan hura.
The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
39 Eta erran ceçan Iesusec, Iugemendu eguitera ni mundu hunetara ethorri naiz: ikusten eztutenéc, ikus deçatençát: eta ikusten dutenac itsu ditecençat.
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 Eta ençun ceçaten hori, Phariseuetaric harequin ciraden batzuc, eta erran cieçoten, Ala gu-ere itsu gara?
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 Erran ciecén Iesusec, Baldin itsu bacinete, etzinduqueite bekaturic: baina orain erraiten duçue, Badacussagu: beraz çuen bekatua badago.
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.”
