Yooxanaa 9
1 Ciise intuu socday, wuxuu arkay nin indhala'aan ku dhashay.
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
2 Xertiisu waxay weyddiiyeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, yaa dembaabay, ma kan baa mise waa waalidkiis, inuu indhala'aan ku dhasho?
‘Rabbi,’ asked his disciples, ‘who was it that sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’
3 Ciise ayaa ugu jawaabay, Ninkan iyo waalidkiis midna ma dembaabin, laakiin waa in shuqullada Ilaah lagu muujiyo isaga.
‘Neither the man nor the parents,’ replied Jesus, ‘but he was born blind so that the work of God should be made plain in him.
4 Waa inaan samayno shuqullada kii i soo diray intay maalin tahay; habeen baa imanaya mar aan ninna shaqayn karin.
We must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Intaan dunida joogo, waxaan ahay nuurkii dunida.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’
6 Markuu sidaas yidhi, ayuu dhulka candhuuf ku tufay, oo candhuuftii dhoobo ka sameeyey, markaasuu dhoobadii wuxuu mariyey ninkii indhihiisii,
Saying this, Jesus spat on the ground, made some paste with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
7 oo ku yidhi, Bax oo ku soo maydho balliga Siloo'am la yidhaahdo (oo fasirkiisii yahay, Waa la diray). Wuu tegey haddaba oo soo maydhay, markaasuu yimid isagoo wax arkaya.
‘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 Sidaa daraaddeed derisyadii iyo kuwii hortii arki jiray inuu miskiin yahay, waxay yidhaahdeen, Kanu miyaanu ahayn kii fadhiyi jiray oo dawarsan jiray?
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 Qaar baa yidhi, Waa isagii, Qaarna waxay yidhaahdeen, Maya, laakiin waa u eg yahay. Isagaa yidhi, Isagii baan ahay.
‘Yes,’ some said, ‘it is’; while others said, ‘No, but he is like him.’ The man himself said, ‘I am he.’
10 Sidaa daraaddeed waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaba sidee bay indhahaagu u furmeen?
‘How did you get your sight, then?’ they asked.
11 Wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Ninka Ciise la yidhaahdo ayaa dhoobo sameeyey oo indhahayga mariyey, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Siloo'am u kac, oo ku soo maydho, Sidaa aawadeed ayaan tegey, oo markaan soo maydhay ayaan arag helay.
‘The man whom they call Jesus,’ he answered, ‘made a paste, 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 Kolkaasay waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Xaggee buu joogaa? Isaguse wuxuu ku yidhi, Ma ogi.
‘Where is he?’ they asked. ‘I do not know,’ he answered.
13 Markaasaa kii markii hore indhaha la'aa waxaa loo geeyey Farrisiintii.
They took the man, who had been blind, to the Pharisees.
14 Waxayna ahayd sabti maalintii Ciise dhoobada sameeyey oo indhihiisii furay.
Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the paste and gave him his sight.
15 Mar kale haddaba Farrisiintii waxay weyddiiyeen siduu araggiisa ku helay. Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhoobuu indhahayga mariyey, oo aan maydhay, oo wax baan arkayaa.
So the Pharisees also questioned the man as to how he had gained his sight. ‘He put a paste on my eyes,’ he answered, ‘and I washed them, and I can see.’
16 Sidaa aawadeed Farrisiinta qaarkood waxay yidhaahdeen, Ninkan xaggii Ilaah kama iman, waayo, sabtida ma dhawro. Qaar kalese waxay yidhaahdeen, Sidee baa nin dembi leh calaamooyinkan oo kale u samayn karaa? Markaasay kala qaybsameen dhexdoodii.
‘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 Waxay haddaba ninkii indhaha la'aa ku yidhaahdeen, Maxaad ka leedahay isaga, waayo, waa kan indhahaaga furaye? Wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa nebi.
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 Sidaa aawadeed Yuhuuddu kama rumaysanin inuu indha la'aa, oo uu araggiisa helay, ilaa ay u yeedheen waalidkii kii araggiisa helay,
The religious authorities, however, refused to believe that he had been blind and had gained his sight, until they had called his parents and questioned them.
19 oo weyddiiyeen, iyagoo leh, Kanu ma wiilkiinnii baa aad leedihiin, Wuxuu ku dhashay indhala'aan? Sidee buu hadda wax ku arkaa?
‘Is this your son,’ they asked, ‘who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?’
20 Waalidkiis waxay haddaba ugu jawaabeen, Waannu garanaynaa kani inuu wiilkayagii yahay oo uu indhala'aan ku dhashay,
‘We know that this is our son,’ answered the parents, ‘and that he was born blind;
21 laakiin siduu hadda wax ku arko garan mayno, kii indhihiisii furayna garan mayno. Isaga weyddiiya. Waa nin weyn. Waa isu hadli doonaaye.
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 Waxyaalahaas waxay waalidkiis u yidhaahdeen, waayo, Yuhuudday ka baqeen. Maxaa yeelay, Yuhuuddu waxay mar hore ku heshiiyeen in qof uun hadduu u qirto inuu yahay Masiixa, sunagogga laga saaro.
His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the authorities; for the authorities had already agreed that, if anyone should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.
23 Sidaa aawadeed waalidkiis waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Waa nin weyn ee weyddiiya isaga.
This was why his parents said “He is old enough; ask him.”
24 Haddaba mar labaad ayay ninkii indhaha la'aa u yeedheen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Ilaah ammaan. Waxaannu garanaynaa inuu ninkanu dembi leeyahaye.
So the authorities 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 Wuxuu haddaba ugu jawaabay, Inuu dembi leeyahay garan maayo, waxa keli ahoo aanse garanayaa, inaan indha la'aa, oo aan haddana wax arkayo.
‘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 Waxay haddaba ku yidhaahdeen, Muxuu kugu sameeyey? Sidee buu indhahaaga u furay?
‘What did he do to you?’ they asked. ‘How did he give you your sight?’
27 Wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Horaan idiinku sheegay, mana aydnaan maqlin. Maxaad u doonaysaan inaad mar kale maqashaan? Idinkuna ma waxaad doonaysaan inaad xertiisa noqotaan?
‘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 Markaasay caayeen oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Adigu xertiisa baad tahay, annaguse waxaannu nahay xertii Muuse.
‘You are his disciple,’ they retorted scornfully. ‘But we are disciples of Moses.
29 Waxaannu garanaynaa inuu Ilaah la hadlay Muuse, laakiinse ninkanu meeshuu ka yimid garan mayno.
We know that God spoke to Moses; but, as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.’
30 Ninkii baa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Waxakanu waa yaab inaydnaan garanaynin meeshuu ka yimid, isaguna uu indhaha ii furay.
‘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 Waannu garanaynaa inaan Ilaah dembilayaashii maqlayn, laakiin wuxuu maqlaa kii Ilaah caabuda oo doonistiisa sameeya.
We know that God never listens to bad people, but, when a person is god-fearing and does God’s will, God listens to them.
32 Tan iyo dunida bilowgeedii lama maqlin nin indhaha u furay qof indhala'aan ku dhashay. (aiōn g165)
Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as anyone’s giving sight to a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Ninkanu haddaanu xaggii Ilaah ka iman, waxba ma uu samayn kareen.
If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.’
34 Markaasay u jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Dhammaantaaba dembiyo waad ku dhalatay ee ma wax baad na baraysaa? Kolkaasay dibadda ku tuureen.
‘You,’ they retorted, ‘were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?’ So they expelled him.
35 Ciise ayaa maqlay inay dibadda ku tuureen, wuuna helay oo ku yidhi, Wiilka Ilaah ma rumaysan tahay?
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 Markaasuu u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Yuu yahay, Sayidow, aan rumaystee?
‘Tell me who he is, Sir,’ he replied, ‘so that I may believe in him.’
37 Ciise ayaa ku yidhi, Waad aragtay, waana isaga kan kula hadlayaa.
‘Not only have you seen him,’ said Jesus, ‘but it is he who is now speaking to you.’
38 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Waa rumaysnahay, Sayidow. Wuuna caabuday.
‘Then, Sir, I do believe,’ said the man, bowing to the ground before him;
39 Ciise wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan dunidan u imid xukun, kuwa aan wax arkin inay wax arkaan, kuwa wax arkaana inay indho beelaan.
and Jesus added, ‘It was to put people 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 Kuwii Farrisiinta ahaa oo la joogay ayaa waxyaalahaas maqlay, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annaguna ma indha la' nahay?
Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him said, ‘Then are we blind too?’
41 Ciise ayaa ku yidhi, Haddaad indhala'aan lahaydeen, dembi ma aydin lahaateen, laakiinse haatan waxaad tidhaahdaan, Wax baannu aragnaa. Dembigiinnu waa sii jiraa.
‘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.
