Joan 9
1 Eta iragaiten cela Iesusec ikus ceçan guiçon sortzetic itsubat.
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
2 Eta interroga ceçaten bere discipuluéc. erraiten cutela. Magistruá, Ceinec bekatu eguin du, hunec ala hunen aitaméc, hunela itsu sor ledin?
“Rabbi,” asked his disciples, “who was it that sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Ez hunec bekatu eguin du, ez hunen aitaméc: baina itsu iayo da, Iaincoaren obrác manifesta litecençat hunetan.
“Neither the man nor the parents,” replied Jesus; “but he was born blind that the work of God should be made plain in him.
4 Ni igorri nauenaren obrác eguin behar ditut, eguna deno: badatorque gaua noiz nehorc ecin obraric baitaidi.
We must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Munduan naiceno, munduaren Arguia naiz.
As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”
6 Haur erran çuenean thu eguin ceçan lurrera, eta eguin ceçan lohi thutic, eta lohi harçaz frota citzan itsuaren beguiac:
Saying this, Jesus spat on the ground, made clay 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.
“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 Bada auçoéc, eta lehen ikussi çutenéc ecen itsu cela, erraiten çutén, Ezta haur iarriric ohi cegoena eta escatzen cena?
Upon this his neighbours, 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 Batzuc erraiten çutén, Haur da: eta bercéc, Hura dirudi, Baina berac erraiten çuen, Ni naiz hura.
“Yes,” some said, “it is”; while others said: “No, but he is like him.” The man himself said: “I am he.”
10 Erran cieçoten bada, Nolatan irequi içan dirade hire beguiac?
“How did you get your sight, then?” they asked.
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.
“The man whom they call Jesus,” he answered, “made clay, 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 Orduan erran cieçoten, Non da hura? Dio, Eztaquit.
“Where is he?” they asked. I do not know,” he answered.
13 Eramaiten dute itsu ohi cen hura Phariseuetara.
They took the man, who had been blind, to the Pharisees.
14 Eta cen Sabbathoa Iesusec lohia eguin çuenean eta haren beguiac irequi cituenean.
Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and gave him his sight.
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 questioned the man as to how he had gained his sight. “He put clay on my eyes,” he answered, “and I washed them, and 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.
“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 Erraiten draucate itsuari berriz, Hic cer dioc harçaz, ceren beguiac irequi drauzquian? Eta harc erran ceçan, Propheta dela.
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 Baina etzeçaten sinhets Iuduéc harçaz, ecen itsu içan cela, eta ikustea recebitu çuela, ikustea recebitu çuenaren aitamác dei litzaqueteno:
The Jews, however, refused to believe that he had been blind and had gained his sight, until they had called his parents and questioned them.
19 Eta interroga citzaten hec, cioitela, Haur da çuen seme çuec itsu iayo cela dioçuena? nolatan bada orain dacussa?
“Is this your son,” they asked, “who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?”
20 Ihardets ciecén haren aitaméc, eta erran ceçaten, Badaquigu ecen haur dela gure semea, eta itsu iayo içan dela:
“We know that this is our son,” answered the parents, “and that he was born blind;
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 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.
His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that, if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.
23 Halacotz haren aitaméc erran ceçaten, Adin du, bera interroga eçaçue.
This was why his parents said ‘He is old enough; 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 the Jews 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 Ihardets ceçan bada harc, eta erran ceçan, Gaichto denez eztaquit: gauçabat badaquit, ecen itsu nincelaric orain badacussadala.
“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 Eta erran cieçoten berriz, Cer eguin drauc? nolatan irequi ditu hire beguiac?
“What did he do to you?” they asked. “How did he give you your sight?”
27 Ihardets ciecén, Ia erran drauçuet, eta eztuçue ençun: cergatic berriz ençun nahi duçue? ala çuec-ere haren discipulu eguin nahi çarete?
“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 Orduan iniuria ceçaten hura, eta erran ceçaten, Aicén hi haren discipulu: guçaz den becembatean, Moysesen discipulu gaituc.
“You are his disciple,” they retorted scornfully; “but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Guc baceaquiagu ecen Moysesi minçatu içan çayola Iaincoa: baina haur nondic den etzeaquiagu.
We know that God spoke to Moses; but, as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.”
30 Ihardets ceçan guiçonac eta erran ciecén, Segur, hunetan da miraculua, ceren çuec ezpaitaquiçue nondic den, eta irequi baititu ene beguiac.
“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 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 never listens to bad men, but, when a man is god-fearing and does God’s will, God listens to him.
Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as any one’s giving sight to a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Baldin ezpaliz haur Iaincoaganic, deus ecin laidi.
If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.”
34 Ihardets ceçaten eta erran cieçoten, Hi bekatutan sorthua aiz guciori, eta hic iracasten gaituc gu? Eta iraitz ceçaten hura campora.
“You,” they retorted, “were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?” So they expelled him.
35 Ençun ceçan Iesusec nola egotzi vkan çuten hura campora: eta eriden çuenean hura, erran cieçón, Sinhesten duc hic Iaincoaren Semea baithan?
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 Ihardets ceçan harc eta erran ceçan, Eta nor da, Iauna, sinhets deçadan hura baithan?
“Tell me who he is, Sir,” he replied, “so that I may believe in him.”
37 Eta erran cieçon Iesusec, Eta ikussi duc hura, eta hirequin minço dena duc hura.
“Not only have you seen him,” said Jesus; “but it is he who is now speaking to you.”
38 Eta harc dio, Sinhesten diat, Iauna. Eta adora ceçan hura.
“Then, Sir, I do believe,” said the man, bowing to the ground before him;
39 Eta erran ceçan Iesusec, Iugemendu eguitera ni mundu hunetara ethorri naiz: ikusten eztutenéc, ikus deçatençát: eta ikusten dutenac itsu ditecençat.
and Jesus added: “It was to put men 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 Eta ençun ceçaten hori, Phariseuetaric harequin ciraden batzuc, eta erran cieçoten, Ala gu-ere itsu gara?
Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him said: “Then are we blind too?”
41 Erran ciecén Iesusec, Baldin itsu bacinete, etzinduqueite bekaturic: baina orain erraiten duçue, Badacussagu: beraz çuen bekatua badago.
“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.
