Johan 9
1 A khum phai vaengah a thaang lamkah mik aka dael hlang te a hmuh.
And passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
2 Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “Rhabbi, unim aka tholh tih mikdael la a thaang, amah a, a manu napa a?” a ti uh.
and His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
3 Jesuh loh, “Amah moenih, a manu napa khaw a tholh moenih. Tedae anih dongah Pathen kah bisai te a tueng ham dongah ni.
Jesus answered, “Neither this one sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God may be revealed in him;
4 Khohnin a om vaengah kai aka tueih kah bi te mamih loh saii ham a kuek. Khoyin ha pawk vaengah saii ham coeng mahpawh.
it is necessary for Me to be working the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night comes when no one is able to work:
5 Diklai ah ka om vaengah, Diklai kah vangnah la ka om,” a ti nah.
when I am in the world, I AM [the] light of the world.”
6 Hekah he a thui vanneh diklai a timthoeih tih timtui neh dikpo a bol. Te phoeiah dikpo te a mik dongah a hluk pah.
Saying these things, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,
7 Te phoeiah anih te, “Cet lamtah Siloam tuibuem ah sil,” a ti nah. Te tah a tueih coeng te a thuingaih. Te dongah cet tih a silh phoeiah miktueng la ha pawk.
“Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,” which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came seeing;
8 Te dongah imben rhoek neh anih te buhbih ni tila aka hmu noek rhoek loh, “Ngol tih buh aka bih te anih moenih a,” a ti uh.
the neighbors, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, “Is this not he who is sitting and begging?”
9 A tloe rhoek loh, “Anih ni,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Moenih, tedae anih phek la om,” a ti uh. Amah loh, “Kai kamah ni,” a ti nah.
Others said, “This is he”; and others, “He is like to him”; he himself said, “I am [he].”
10 Te dongah anih te, “Te koinih na mik te metlam a tueng?” a ti nauh.
They said, therefore, to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 Te long te, “Jesuh la a khue uh hlang pakhat loh dikpo a bol tih kai mik a hluk. Te phoeiah kamah te, “Silaom la cet lamtah sil,’ a ti. Te dongah ka cet tih ka silh vaengah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
He answered and said, “A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight”;
12 Te vaengah, “Anih te melam a om,” a ti na uh hatah, “Ka ming pawh,” a ti nah.
they said, therefore, to him, “Where is that One?” He says, “I have not known.”
13 Hnukbuet kah mikdael te Pharisee rhoek taengah a khuen uh.
They bring him who once [was] blind to the Pharisees,
14 Jesuh loh dikpo a bol tih a mik a tueng sak vaengkah khohnin te Sabbath la om.
and it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Te dongah Pharisee rhoek long khaw metlam a tueng thai tila anih te koep a dawt uh. Te long te amih taengah, “Ka mik ah dikpo a hluk tih ka silh hatah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed—and I see.”
16 Te dongah Pharisee rhoek khuikah hlangvang loh, “Sabbath te a tuem pawt dongah anih te Pathen taeng lamkah hlang moenih,” a ti uh. Tedae a tloe rhoek loh, “Hlang tholh loh hebang miknoek metlam a saii thai eh?” a ti uh tih amamih ah paekboenah la om.
Certain of the Pharisees therefore said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath”; others said, “How is a man—a sinful one—able to do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
17 Te dongah mikdael te, “Na mik a tueng sak dongah anih kawng balae na thui eh?”koep a ti na uh hatah, “Anih tah tonghma ni,” a ti nah.
They said to the blind man again, “You—what do you say of Him—that He opened your eyes?”
18 Judah rhoek loh anih mikdael la om tih koep tueng tila a tangnah uh pawt dongah mik aka tueng coeng kah a manu napa te luemluem a khue uh.
And he said, “He is a prophet.” The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him who received sight,
19 Te phoeiah amih roi te a dawt uh tih, “Anih he na capa ni nama? Anih ni mikdael la thaang na ti nama? Te koinih metlam a hmuh tarha?,” a ti nauh.
and they asked them, saying, “Is [this] your son, of whom you say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 Te dongah a manu napa loh a doo rhoi tih, “Anih he ka ca la om tih mikdael la a thaang te ka ming rhoi.
His parents answered them and said, “We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Tedae metla a tueng tarha khaw ka ming rhoi pawh. A mik aka ong pah te khaw ka ming pawh. Amah te dawt uh a lungcuei coeng. Amah kawng te amah loh a thui bitni,” a ti rhoi.
and how he now sees, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; he is of age, ask him; he himself will speak concerning himself.”
22 A manu napa loh Judah rhoek te a rhih dongah ni te te a thui. Khat khat long ni Khrih te a phoei atah a hael om saeh tila laJudah rhoek loh oepsoeh la a kotluep uh.
His parents said these things, because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed together, that if anyone may confess Him—Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;
23 Te dongah ni a manu napa loh, “A lungcuei coeng amah te dawt uh,” a ti nah rhoi.
because of this his parents said, “He is of age, ask him.”
24 Te dongah mikdael la aka om hlang te a pabae la a khue uh tih, “Anih te hlang tholh ni tila mamih loh m'ming uh dongah Pathen te thangpomnah pae lah,” a ti nauh.
They called, therefore, the man who was blind a second time, and they said to him, “Give glory to God, we have known that this Man is a sinner”;
25 Te long khaw, “Hlang tholh la a om khaw ka ming pawh. Pakhat ka ming tah mikdael la aka om loh ka hmuh coeng,” a ti nah.
he answered, therefore, and said, “If He is a sinner—I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.”
26 Te dongah amah te, “Na taengah balae a saii? Na mik te metlam a tueng sak?” a ti nauh.
And they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
27 Amih te, “Nangmih taengah ka thui coeng dae na yaak uh moenih. Ba ham nim koep yaak ham na ngaih uh. Nangmih khaw anih hnukbang la om ham na ngaih uh pawt nim?” a ti nah.
He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to hear [it] again? Do you also wish to become His disciples?”
28 Te vaengah anih te ol a bai uh tih, “Namah la anih kah hnukbang la na om, kaimih tah Moses kah hnukbang rhoek ni.
They reviled him, therefore, and said, “You are His disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;
29 Pathen loh Moses a voek te ka ming uh. Tedae anih me lamkah a phoe khaw ka ming uh moenih,” a ti nauh.
we have known that God has spoken to Moses, but this One—we have not known where He is from.”
30 Tekah hlang loh amih te a doo tih, “A khuet la a om lalah me lamkah ha phoe khaw na ming uh pawt te. Tedae ka mik he n'dai sak coeng.
The man answered and said to them, “Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that you have not known where He is from, and He opened my eyes!
31 Pathen loh hlangtholh rhoek kah ol te a hnatun moenih. Tedae Pathen aka hinyahkung pakhat te om tih a kongaih a saii atah anih ol a hnatun pah te m'ming.
And we have known that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone may be a worshiper of God, and may do His will, He hears him;
32 Mikdael la aka thang khat khat kah mik koep tueng tila khosuen lamkah n'yaak noek moenih. (aiōn g165)
from the age it was not heard that anyone opened eyes of one who has been born blind; (aiōn g165)
33 Pathen taeng lamkah anih ha om pawt koinih saii thai loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
if this One were not from God, He were not able to do anything.”
34 Te dongah anih te a doo uh tih, “Nang tholh hoeng la na thaang tih nang loh kaimih nan thuituen van,” a ti na uh phoeiah amah te phawn a vai uh.
They answered and said to him, “In sins you were born altogether, and you teach us?” And they cast him forth outside.
35 Anih phawn poengla a haek uh te Jesuh loh a yaak phoeiah anih te a hmuh tih, “Hlang capa te na tangnah a?” a ti nah.
Jesus heard that they cast him forth outside, and having found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 Te long te a doo tih, “Boeipa, amah te ta, te vaengah anih te ka tangnah mako?” a ti nah.
He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
37 Jesuh loh anih te, “Anih te na hmuh tih nang taengah aka cal te anih ni,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He who is speaking with you is He”;
38 Te dongah, “Boeipa, kan tangnah,” a ti nah tih a bawk.
and he said, “I believe, Lord,” and worshiped Him.
39 Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Laitloeknah ham he Diklai la ka pawk coeng. Te daengah ni aka hmu pawt rhoek loh a hmuh vetih aka hmuh loh mikdael la a om eh?,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said, “I came to this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.”
40 Tekah te a taengkah aka om Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh. Te vaengah amah te, “Kaimih khaw mikdael la ka om uh pawt nim?” a ti nauh.
And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and they said to Him, “Are we also blind?”
41 Jesuh loh, “Mikdael la na om uh koinih tholhnah na khueh uh mahpawh. Tedae tahae ah ka miktueng na ti uh dongah nangmih kah tholhnah te naeh pueng,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you were not having had sin, but now you say—We see, therefore your sin remains.”
