John 9
1 And as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man which was blinde from his birth.
UJesu wathi elokhu ehamba wabona indoda eyayiyisiphofu kusukela ekuzalweni kwayo.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde?
Abafundi bakhe bambuza bathi, “Rabi, ngubani owenza isono, indoda le loba abazali bayo ukuze izalwe iyisiphofu na?”
3 Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the workes of God should be shewed on him.
UJesu wathi, “Kakusikho ukuthi abazali bayo loba yona indoda le yenza isono kodwa lokhu kwenzakala ukuze umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ubonakaliswe empilweni yayo.
4 I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke.
Nxa kulokhu kusemini kumele siwenze umsebenzi wakhe ongithumileyo. Ubusuku buyeza lapho kungelamuntu ongasebenza khona.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Nxa ngisesemhlabeni, ngiyikukhanya komhlaba.”
6 Assoone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spettle, and anointed the eyes of the blinde with the clay,
Esekutshilo lokhu wakhafulela emhlabathini, wavuba udaka ngamathe walunameka emehlweni endoda.
7 And sayd vnto him, Go wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came againe seeing.
Wayitshela wathi, “Hamba uyegeza esizibeni saseSilowami” (ibizo leli litsho ukuthi “Ukuthunywa”). Ngakho indoda yahamba yayageza, yabuyela ekhaya isibona.
8 Nowe the neighbours and they that had seene him before, when he was blinde, sayd, Is not this he that sate and begged?
Omakhelwane bayo lalabo abahlezi beyibona icela babuza bathi, “Kakusiyo yini indoda le eyayihlala icela?”
9 Some said, This is he: and other sayd, He is like him: but he himselfe sayd, I am he.
Abanye baqinisa ukuthi kwakuyiyo. Abanye bathi, “Hatshi, lo ufana layo nje kuphela.” Kodwa yona yagcizelela yathi, “Ngiyiyo leyondoda.”
10 Therefore they sayd vnto him, Howe were thine eyes opened?
Bamjinga ngemibuzo bathi, “Pho amehlo akho avuleke kanjani?”
11 He answered, and sayd, The man that is called Iesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and sayde vnto me, Goe to the poole of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and receiued sight.
Waphendula wathi, “Indoda abayithi nguJesu ivube udaka yalunameka emehlweni ami. Ingitshele yathi kangiye eSilowami ngiyegeza. Ngakho ngiyile ngayageza, ngasengibona.”
12 Then they sayd vnto him, Where is he? He sayd, I can not tell.
Bayibuza bathi, “Ingaphi leyondoda?” Wathi, “Kangazi.”
13 They brought to the Pharises him that was once blinde.
Indoda leyo eyayikade iyisiphofu yalethwa kubaFarisi.
14 And it was the Sabbath day, when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Usuku uJesu enza ngalo udaka wavula amehlo endoda leyo lwaluyiSabatha.
15 Then againe the Pharises also asked him, how he had receiued sight. And hee sayd vnto them, He layd clay vpon mine eyes, and I washed, and doe see.
AbaFarisi baphinde bayibuzisisa ukuthi kwenziwani ukuze ibone. Indoda yaphendula yathi, “Uninde udaka emehlweni ami, ngageza, manje sengibona.”
16 Then said some of the Pharises, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others sayd, Howe can a man that is a sinner, doe such miracles? and there was a dissension among them.
Abanye abaFarisi bathi, “Umuntu lo kaveli kuNkulunkulu ngoba kaligcini iSabatha.” Kodwa abanye babuza bathi, “Isoni singayenza kanjani imimangaliso enje na?” Kanjalo adabukana.
17 Then spake they vnto the blinde againe, What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes? And he sayd, He is a Prophet.
Bacina sebephendukela endodeni eyayiyisiphofu njalo bathi, “Wena uthini ngaye? Ngamehlo akho awavulileyo.” Indoda yaphendula yathi, “Ungumphrofethi.”
18 Then the Iewes did not beleeue him (that he had bene blinde, and receiued his sight) vntill they had called the parents of him that had receiued sight.
AmaJuda kawazange akholwe ukuthi indoda le yayikade iyisiphofu lokuthi yayisiyenziwe yabona kwaze kwabizwa abazali bayo.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your sonne, whom ye say was borne blinde? How doeth he nowe see then?
Bababuza bathi, “Lo yindodana yenu yini? Nguye lo elithi wazalwa eyisiphofu? Sekwenzeke kanjani ukuthi khathesi usebona?”
20 His parents answered them, and sayd, We know that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blinde:
Abazali baphendula bathi, “Thina sazi ukuthi uyindodana yethu, njalo siyakwazi ukuthi wazalwa eyisiphofu.
21 But by what meanes hee nowe seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell: he is olde ynough: aske him: hee shall answere for himselfe.
Kodwa ukuthi khathesi usebona lokuthi amehlo akhe avulwe ngubani kasikwazi. Mbuzeni. Usekhulile; uzazikhulumela.”
22 These wordes spake his parents, because they feared the Iewes: for the Iewes had ordeined already, that if any man did confesse that he was Christ, he should be excommunicate out of the Synagogue.
Abazali bakhe bakutsho lokhu ngoba babesesaba amaJuda, ngoba amaJuda ayesevele aquma ukuthi loba ngubani owayezakuthi uJesu nguKhristu wayezaxotshwa esinagogweni.
23 Therefore sayde his parents, Hee is olde ynough: aske him.
Yikho abazali bakhe bathi, “Usekhulile; mbuzeni yena.”
24 Then againe called they the man that had bene blinde, and sayd vnto him, Giue glory vnto God: we know that this man is a sinner.
Aphinda ayibiza okwesibili indoda eyayiyisiphofu athi, “Nika udumo kuNkulunkulu. Siyakwazi ukuthi umuntu lo uyisoni.”
25 Then he answered, and sayd, Whether hee be a sinner or no, I can not tell: one thing I know, that I was blinde, and nowe I see.
Yaphendula yathi, “Ukuthi uyisoni kumbe hatshi kangikwazi. Mina kunye engikwaziyo. Bengiyisiphofu kodwa manje sengibona!”
26 Then sayd they to him againe, What did he to thee? howe opened he thine eyes?
Aseyibuza athi, “Wenzeni kuwe na? Uwavule njani amehlo akho?”
27 Hee answered them, I haue tolde you already, and yee haue not heard it: wherefore would yee heare it againe? will yee also be his disciples?
Yaphendula yathi, “Sengilitshelile kodwa kalifunanga ukuzwa. Lifunelani ukukuzwa njalo? Lani lifuna ukuba ngabafundi bakhe na?”
28 Then reuiled they him, and sayd, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses disciples.
Khonapho asemthuka esithi, “Ungumfundi walumuntu! Thina singabafundi bakaMosi!
29 We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is.
Siyakwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuMosi, kodwa umfokazi lo kasimazi lokuthi uvela ngaphi.”
30 The man answered, and sayde vnto them, Doutlesse, this is a marueilous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
Indoda yaphendula yathi, “Manje lokhu kuyamangalisa! Kalimazi lapho avela khona kodwa uwavulile amehlo ami.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.
Siyakwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu kazilaleli izoni. Ulalela umuntu olobunkulunkulu, owenza intando yakhe.
32 Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde. (aiōn g165)
Kakho osewake wezwa ngokuvulwa kwamehlo omuntu owazalwa eyisiphofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not of God, hee could haue done nothing.
Aluba umuntu lo ubengaveli kuNkulunkulu ubengasoze enze lutho.”
34 They answered, and sayd vnto him, Thou art altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? so they cast him out.
Aphendula lokhu ngokuthi, “Wazalwa ucwile nya esonweni; ngeke sifundiswe nguwe thina!” Asemxotshela phandle.
35 Iesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he sayd vnto him, Doest thou beleeue in the Sonne of God?
UJesu wakuzwa ukuthi ayemxotshele phandle, wathi esembonile wathi kuye, “Uyakholwa eNdodaneni yoMuntu na?”
36 He answered, and sayd, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue in him?
Indoda yabuza yathi, “Ingubani na, nkosi? Ngitshela ukuze ngikholwe kuyo.”
37 And Iesus sayd vnto him, Both thou hast seene him, and he it is that talketh with thee.
UJesu wathi, “Khathesi usuyibonile; iqiniso yikuthi yiyo le ekhuluma lawe.”
38 Then he sayd, Lord, I beleeue, and worshipped him.
Indoda yasisithi, “Nkosi, ngiyakholwa,” yasimkhonza.
39 And Iesus sayd, I am come vnto iudgement into this world, that they which see not, might see: and that they which see, might be made blinde.
UJesu wathi, “Ngeza lapha emhlabeni ukuzakwahlulela, ukuze iziphofu zibone kuthi labo ababonayo babonakale beyiziphofu.”
40 And some of the Pharises which were with him, heard these things, and sayd vnto him, Are we blinde also?
Abanye abaFarisi ababelaye bamuzwa uJesu esitsho lokhu babuza bathi, “Uthini? Lathi siyiziphofu yini?”
41 Iesus sayd vnto them, If ye were blinde, ye should not haue sinne: but nowe ye say, We see: therefore your sinne remaineth.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kube beliyiziphofu ngabe kalilamlandu wesono. Kodwa umlandu wenu umi ngoba lizenza abakwaziyo abakwenzayo.”
