John 9
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
Mme ya re a santse a tsamaya, a bona monna yo o saleng a tsalwa a foufetse.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Mme barutwa ba gagwe ba mmotsa ba re, “Morena, ke eng fa monna yo a tsetswe e le sefofu? A ke ka ntlha ya dibe tsa gagwe kgotsa dibe tsa batsadi ba gagwe?”
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Mme Jesu a araba a re, “Ga se ka ntlha ya dibe dipe. Go ne go direlwa gore nonofo ya Modimo e supiwe.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
Rotlhe re tshwanetse go akofa ra dira ditiro tse re di neetsweng ke yo o nthomileng, gonne go setse nakonyana fela pele ga bosigo bo tla mme tiro yotlhe e bo e khutla.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Mme fa ke santse ke le fano mo lefatsheng, ke naya lefatshe lesedi la me.”
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,
Mme a kgwela mathe mo mmung a duba seretse ka mathe mme a se tshasa mo matlhong a monna yo o foufetseng,
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
mme a mo raya a re, “Tsamaya o ye go tlhapa mo lekadibeng la Siloame” (lefoko le le reng ‘Siloame’ le raya gore ‘Romilwe’) jalo monna a ya kwa a romilweng teng, mme a feta a tlhapa a boela kwa morago a bona!
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
Mme ba ga gabo le batho ba bangwe ba ba mo itseng e le sefofu sa mokopi ba botsanya ba re, “A yo ke ene tota, mokopi yo re mo itseng?”
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
Bangwe ba re, ee, mme ba bangwe ba re nnyaa. Jalo ba akanyetsa ba re, “Ga e ka ke ya nna ene, mme o lebega jaaka ene!” Mme mokopi a ba raya a re, “Ke nna yo lo nkitseng!”
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
Mme ba mmotsa gore go diragetse jang gore a foufologe. Tota-tota go tsamaile jang!
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.”
Mme a ba raya a re, “Monna yo ba mmitsang Jesu o ne a duba seretse a se tshasa mo matlhong a me mme a nthaya a re ke ye kwa lekadibeng la Siloame ke ye go tlhapa seretse. Mme ke ne ka dira jalo, jaanong ke a bona!”
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
Mme ba mmotsa ba re, “O kae jaanong?” Mme a araba a re, “Ga ke itse.”
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Mme ba tsaya monna ba mo isa kwa Bafarasaing.
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Mme ya re mo go diragala ga bo go le letsatsi la Sabata.
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.”
Mme Bafarasai ba mmotsa gotlhe ka ga tiragalo eo. Jalo a ba bolelela ka fa Jesu a neng a dira seretse ka teng a se tshasa mo matlhong a gagwe, mme ya re a sena go tlhapa a bona!
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.
Bangwe ba bone ba re, “Motho yo Jesu ga a tswe kwa Modimong gonne o dira go le Sabata.” Ba bangwe ba re, “Mme motho fela wa modira dibe ao ka dira dikgakgamatso tse jang?” Mme ga nna kgaogano e tona ya megopolo mo go bone.
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.”
Mme Bafarasai ba retologela kwa monneng yo a neng a foufetse ba mmotsa ba re, “Wa re monna yo o go foufolotseng ke mang?” Mme monna a re, “Ke bona gore e tshwanetse ya bo e le moporofiti a romilwe ke Modimo.”
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,
Mme Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba seka ba dumela gore o ne a foufetse, go fitlhelela ba botsa batsadi ba gagwe.
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
Erile ba sena go ba bitsa ba ba botsa ba re, “A motho yo ke morwaa lona? A o-tsetswe a foufetse? Fa go ntse jalo, ke eng fa a bona?”
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Batsadi ba gagwe ba fetola ba re, “e itse gore motho yo ke ngwana wa rona le gore o tsetswe e le sefofu,
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.”
mme ga re itse gore go diragetse jang gore a foufologe, kgotsa gore o foufolotswe ke mang. O setse a godile o lekanye go ikarabela. Mmotseng.”
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.
Ba ne ba bua jaana ka ba boifa baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba ba neng ba setse ba anamisitse gore mongwe fela yo o reng Jesu ke Mesia o tlaa kgaolwa mo phuthegong.
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
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.”
Mme lwa bobedi ba bitsa monna yo o foufolotsweng ba mo raya ba re, “Galaletsa Modimo e seng Jesu, gonne re itse gore Jesu ke motho yo o bosula.”
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.”
Mme monna a fetola a re, “Ga ke itse gore a o siame kgotsa o bosula, mme nna ke itse fela gore, ke ne ke le sefofu mme jaanong ke a bona!”
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
Ba mmotsa ba re, “O ne a dira eng? O ne a go fodisa jang”?
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?”
Mme monna a ba botsa a re, “Bonang! Ke lo boleletse gagwe fela, a lo ne lo sa reetsa? Ke eng fa lo mpotsa gape? A le lona lo batla go nna barutwa ba gagwe?”
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Mme ba mo hutsa ba mo raya ba re, “Morutwa wa gagwe, mme rona re barutwa ba ga Moshe.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
Re itse gore Modimo o buile le Moshe, mme fa e le yo ene ga re itse sepe ka ga gagwe.”
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
Mme a fetola a re, “Ka ntlha yang, go a hakgamatsa!
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.
O foufolola difofu, mme o na le ditsebe tse di bulegetseng ba ba o obamelang ba dirago rata ga one.
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
Fa e sale lefatshe le simologa ga go ise go ke go nne le ope yo a neng a ka foufola matlho a mongwe yo o tsetsweng a le sefofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
Fa monna yo a ne a sa tswe kwa Modimong, o ka bo a sa kgona go foufolola difofu.”
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
Mme ba goa ba re, “Ngwana wa mpa ya dikgora ke wena! A o leka go re ruta?” Mme ba mo kgoromeletsa kwa ntle.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
Erile fa Jesu a utlwalela se se diragetseng, a bona monna yo mme a mo raya a re, “A o dumela mo go Mesis?”
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
Mme monna a araba a re, “E mang, rra, gonne ke a batla.”
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
Mme Jesu a re, “O mmonye, ebile ke ene yo o buang le wena!”
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
Monna a re, “Ee, Morena, Ke a dumela!” mme a obamela Jesu.
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.”
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “E tletse mo lefatsheng go naya ba ba foufetseng mo moweng pono le go kaela ba ba ithayang ba re ba a bona gore ba foufetse.”
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
Bafarasai ba ba neng eme foo ba botsa ba re, “A wa re re foufetse?”
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Fa lo ne lo foufetse, lo ka bo lo se molato! Mme lo molato gonne lo ipona gore lo itse se lo se dirang.”
