John 9
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
Jesuh lama a ceh k’um üng, a hmi law üngkhyüh a mik müki khyang mat a hmuh.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Axüisawe naw, “Saja aw, a mik müa hmiki hin ua mkhyenaka phäha ni? Amäta mkhyenaka phäh aw, a nupaa ani mkhyenaka phäh aw?” ti lü, ami kthäh u.
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Jesuh naw, “Amäta mkhyenaka phäh am ni, a nupaa mkhyenaka phäha pi am ni. Ani üng Pamhnama johit khyange naw ami hmuh vaia phäha ni.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
“A mhnüp ham üng na tüih lawkia khut mi pawh khai. U naw pi khut am a binak theia mthan pha law hlüki.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
“Khawmdeka khana ka vea küt üng khawmdeka kvaia ka kyaki,” ti lü, a jah msang.
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
Acukba a pyen käna, mdek üng a mci msawh lü, a mci am mdek mthaü lü acun am a mikmüa mik a jut.
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
A mikmü üng, “Cit lü Silawng Tuili üng va hmaieia,” a ti. (Silawng ti cun “Tüih” tinak ni) Acunüng, cit lü va hmaiei se a mik vai law beki.
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
A impei locenge ja, ahlana täei se hmu khawikie naw, “Hin hin ngaw lü täei khawiki am niki aw?” ami ti.
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
Avang naw, “Acun ni” ami ti. Avang naw, “Acun ta am ni” a tängpüi ni” ami ti. Amät naw, “Kei acun ni” a ti.
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
Amimi naw, “Na mik ihawkba vai beki?” ami ti.
11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
Ani naw, “Jesuh ami ti naw mdek mthaü lü, ka mik üng jut lü, ‘Silawng Tuilia va cit lü va hmaieia’ ti se, cit lü hmaiei ngü se ka mik vai law beki,” a ti.
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
“Ani hawia veki ni?” ti lü a mi kthäh üng, ani naw “Am ksing veng” a ti be.
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
A mik mü khawikia khyang cun Phariseea veia ami cehpüi.
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Jesuh naw mdek mthaü lü a mik a vaisak bea mhnüp cun Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
Pharisee naw, a mik a vai law bea mawng kthäh u se, ani naw, “Lawk am ka mik na nawi se, hmaei lü, ka hmu law be theiki ni,” a ti.
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.
Pharise avang naw, “Acuna khyang naw Sabbath am a jeiha phäha, Pamhnama üngkhyüh lawki ta am ni khü vai,” ami ti. Avang naw, “Khyangka naw ihawkba hina mäih müncanksee jah pawh khawh khai aw?” ami ti. Phariseea ksunga ngtainak ve lawki.
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
Acun käna, amikmü üng, “Na mik a vaisak bea phäha, nang naw ihawkba ani na ngaiki ni?” ti u lü, ami kthäh betü üng, “Ani cun Sahma ni” a ti.
18 The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
Judah ngvaie naw, a mik vai law bekia nu ja pa, am ami jah khü ham veia, amikmü khawiki vai law beki ni tia mawng am kcang na u.
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
A nu ja a paa üng, “Hin hin nami ca, amikmüa hmi lawki nami ti khawi am niki aw? Ihawkba atuh hmu law be theiki ni?” ti u lü, ami jah kthäh.
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
A nu ja pa naw, “Hin kami ca ti kami ksingki, amikmüa hmi lawki ti pi kami ksing.
21 but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
Cunsepi, ihawkba atuh hmu law beki ti am kani ksingki, hmuhsak beki pi am ksing ve ning. Amät kthäh ua; khyang teh lawki; amäta mawng cun amät naw pyen se,” ti ni lü, ani jah msang.
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
A nu ja pa naw Judah ngvaie ami jah kyüha phäha acukba ani pyena kyaki. Am acun ham üng pi, “Ani cun Mesijah ni” tiki naküt cun sinakok üngkhyüh ksät vaia ami mkhyäp thüpthüpa kyaki.
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
Acunakyase, a nu ja pa naw, “Khyang teh lawki, amät kthäh ua” ani tia kyaki.
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
Anghngihnaka amikmüa hmi lawki cun khü betü u lü, “Pamhnama veia akcang ka pyen khai tia sitih taa, nang ning mdaw beki cun khyangka ti kami ksingki ni,” ami ti.
25 He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
Ani naw, “Khyangka a ni ja am a ni am ksing nawng. Mat ka ksing cun ahlana ka mik mü khawiki, tuh ka hmu law beki,” ti lü, a jah msang.
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
Amimi naw, “Na khana i ja a pawh? Na mik ihawkba ja a vaisak be?” ti lü, ami kthäh.
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
Ani naw, “Cükta üng ka ning jah mtheh päng, am nami na ngai hlüki. Ise nami ngja hlü betükie ni? Nangmi pi axüisaw hea nami thawn hngaa nami yüki aw?” ti lü, a jah msang.
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Amimi naw ksekha na u lü, “Nang hin ania xüisawa na kyaki ni, keimi ta Mosia axüisaw he ni.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
“Pamhnam naw Mosi ngthuhei püiki ti kami ksingki, cunüngpi Jesuh hawia ka naw lawki ti am ksing u nawng,” ami ti.
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
“Ani naw ka mik vaisak be kyaw sepi, ani hawia khyüh lawki ti am nami ksing hin müncankse ni.
31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
“Pamhnam naw khyangkaa ngthu am ngai khawiki ti mi ksingki. Acunsepi, au naw pi Pamhnam mhläkphya na lü a ngjakhlü a pawh üng Pamhnam naw ngaih pet khawiki.
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
“Khawmdek a ngtüi üngkhyüh, a mikmüa hmi lawki vaisak be ve u, tia u naw am mi ngja khawi. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
“Hin hin Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawki am a ni ta, i am pawh khawh,” ti lü, a jah msang.
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
Amimi naw, “Na hmi law üng, mkhyenake am hmi law lü, na jah mthei lawki aw?” ti u lü, msangkie naw, Sinakok üngka naw ami ksät u.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
Ksätkie ti Jesuh naw ksing lü hmuki naw, “Khyanga Capa na jumki aw?” ti lü a kthäh.
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, ka jum law vaia, ani u ni na mtheha?” a ti.
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
Jesuh naw, “Ani na hmu päng ni, atuh ning ngthuheipüiki hin ani ni,” a ti.
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, jum veng,” ti lü, Jesuh hjawkhahki.
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
Jesuh naw, “Ngthumkhyah khaia hina khawmdek khana ka lawki, amikmüea mik vai be lü, a mik kvaiea mik a münak vaia ka lawki ni,” a ti.
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
Ahlawnga vekia Pharisee naw, acun ngja u lü, “Keimi pi kami mik mü hngaki aw?” ti lü, ami kthäh u.
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
Jesuh naw, “Nami mik a mü üng mkhyenak am ta uki. Acunsepi, atuh ‘Kami mik vaiki’ nami tia phäh nami mkhyekatki” a ti.
