John 9
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
Wakati achipfuura, akaona munhu bofu kubva pakuberekwa.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Vadzidzi vake ndokumubvunza, vachiti: Rabhi, ndiani wakatadza, uyu kana vabereki vake, kuti aberekwe ari bofu?
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Jesu akapindura akati: Uyu haana kutadza, kana vabereki vake; asi kuti mabasa aMwari aoneswe maari.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
Ndinofanira kushanda mabasa ewakandituma achiri masikati; usiku hunouya, apo pasina munhu angagona kushanda.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Kana ndichiri panyika, ndiri chiedza chenyika.
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,
Wakati areva izvi, akapfira pasi, akaita dope nemate, akazodza dope pameso ebofu,
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
akati kwaari: Enda unoshamba mudziva reSiroami (zvinoshandurwa kuti: Wakatumwa). Naizvozvo wakaenda akashamba, akadzoka achiona.
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
Naizvozvo vavakidzani nevaimuona pakutanga kuti wakange ari bofu, vakati: Haasi iye uyu waigara achipemha here?
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
Vamwe vakati: Uyu ndiye; asi vamwe vakati: Wakaita saiye. Iye akati: Ndini.
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Meso ako akazarurwa sei?
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.”
Akapindura izvo akati: Munhu anonzi Jesu wakaita dope, akazodza meso angu, akati kwandiri: Enda kudziva reSiroami unoshamba. Zvino ndikaenda ndikashamba, ndikaonazve.
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Iye aripi? Akati: Handizivi.
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Vakamuisa kuVaFarisi, iye waimbova bofu.
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Zvino raiva sabata apo Jesu akaita dope, akasvinudza meso ake.
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.”
Naizvozvo zvekare VaFarisi vakamubvunzawo, kuti wakaonazve sei. Akati kwavari: Waisa dope pameso angu ndikashamba, ndava kuona.
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.
Naizvozvo vamwe veVaFarisi vakati: Munhu uyu haabvi kuna Mwari, nokuti haachengeti sabata. Vamwe vakati: Munhu ari mutadzi angaita sei zviratidzo zvakadai? Kukava nekupesana pakati pavo.
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.”
Vakatizve kubofu: Iwe unoti kudini pamusoro pake, sezvo asvinudza meso ako? Akati: Muporofita.
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,
Zvino VaJudha havana kutenda pamusoro pake, kuti wakange ari bofu, akaonazve, kusvikira vadana vabereki vewakaonazve,
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
zvino vakavabvunza, vachiti: Uyu mwanakomana wenyu imwi wamunoti wakaberekwa ari bofu here? Naizvozvo ikozvino woona sei?
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Vabereki vake vakavapindura vakati: Tinoziva kuti uyu mwanakomana wedu, uye kuti wakaberekwa ari bofu;
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.”
asi kuti ikozvino woona sei, hatizivi; kana ndiani wasvinudza meso ake, isu hatizivi; iye wayaruka, mubvunzei, iye pachake achazvitaurira.
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.
Vabereki vake vakareva izvi, nokuti vaitya VaJudha; nokuti VaJudha vakange vatotenderana kuti kana ani nani anobvuma kuti ndiye Kristu, abudiswe musinagoge.
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
Naizvozvo vabereki vake vakati: Wayaruka, mubvunzei.
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.”
Naizvozvo vakadana rwechipiri uyo munhu wakange ari bofu, vakati kwaari: Ipa Mwari rumbidzo; isu tinoziva kuti munhu uyu mutadzi.
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.”
Naizvozvo iye akapindura achiti: Kana ari mutadzi handizivi; chinhu chimwe chandinoziva, kuti ndaiva bofu, ikozvino ndoona.
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
Zvino vakati kwaarizve: Wakaitei kwauri? Wakasvinudza meso ako sei?
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?”
Akavapindura, akati: Ndadokuudzai, asi hamuna kunzwa, munodirei kunzwa zvekare? Nemwi munoda kuva vadzidzi vake kanhi?
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Naizvozvo vakamutuka, vakati: Ndiwe mudzidzi wake; asi isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
Isu tinoziva kuti Mwari wakataura kuna Mozisi; asi uyu hatizivi kwaanobva.
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
Munhu akapindura akati kwavari: Nokuti pachinhu ichi pane chinoshamisa, kuti imwi hamuzivi kwaanobva, asi wasvinudza meso angu.
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.
Zvino tinoziva kuti Mwari haanzwi vatadzi; asi kana munhu ari mushumiri waMwari, achiita chido chake, uyu anomunzwa.
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
Kubvira rinhi hakuna kumbonzwika kuti umwe wakasvinudza meso ewakaberekwa ari bofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
Dai uyu anga asingabvi kuna Mwari, haasaigona kuita chinhu.
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Iwe zvachese wakaberekerwa muzvivi, zvino iwe wotidzidzisa here? Vakamudzingira kunze.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
Jesu akanzwa kuti vamudzingira kunze; akati amuwana, akati kwaari: Iwe unotenda kuMwanakomana waMwari here?
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
Iye akapindura akati: Ndiani, Ishe, kuti nditende kwaari?
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Newe wamuona, uye anotaura newe, ndiye.
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
Zvino akati: Ishe ndinotenda; akamunamata.
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.”
Jesu ndokuti: Kutonga ndiko ini kwandakauira panyika ino, kuti vasingaoni vaone; nevanoona vave mapofu.
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
Uye avo veVaFarisi vaiva naye vakanzwa zvinhu izvi, vakati kwaari: Nesu tiri mapofu here?
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
Jesu akati kwavari: Dai maiva mapofu, mungadai musina chivi. Asi ikozvino munoti: Tinoona; naizvozvo chivi chenyu chinogara.
