John 9
1 As Jesus passed by, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
Basa naa ma, Yesus se lao. Boe ma nita atahori pokeꞌ esa, pokeꞌ eniꞌ a bonggi hendi ena.
2 ‘Rabbi,’ asked his disciples, ‘who was it that sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’
Basa ma, Yesus ana mana tungga nara ratane rae, “Papa Meser! Seka mana tao salaꞌ, de atahori ia dadꞌi poke onaꞌ ia? Laoꞌ mia mesaꞌ ne do, huu ina-ama nara?”
3 ‘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.
Yesus nataa nae, “Atahori pokeꞌ ia nda tao salaꞌ sa. Boe ma ina-ama nara o nda tao salaꞌ fo ana poke sa boe. Bonggi e onaꞌ naa, fo ona bee naa basa atahori rita Lamatualain naꞌahahaiꞌ e.
4 We must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
Lamatualain mana denu Au. Dadꞌi hita musi tao tahehere fo talalao Eni ue-tataon leleꞌ manggareloꞌ a feꞌe sia. Huu dei fo maꞌahatuꞌ a nema ena, atahori nda bisa tao ues sa ena.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’
Leleꞌ Au feꞌe sia raefafoꞌ ia, Au onaꞌ manggareloꞌ a mana naronda soaꞌ neu basa atahori.”
6 Saying this, Jesus spat on the ground, made some paste with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
Yesus olaꞌ basa naꞌo naa, boe ma Ana puras miru neu rae a. Basa ma Ana endoꞌ daka-daka, de sesebꞌoꞌ rae a dadꞌi tane. Boe ma ana lelemu tane a neu atahori pokeꞌ a matan.
7 ‘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.
Basa ma Ana helu nae, “Muu sia lifu Siloam, fo safe matam sia naa.” (Sia dedꞌea Ibrani, Siloam sosoan nae, ‘haitua nema’.) Basa de, atahori pokeꞌ a naa neu, de narou matan. Leleꞌ ana heoꞌ baliꞌ nema, ana bisa nita ena!
8 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?’
Basa naa ma, atahori mana sia ume bobꞌoa nara, ma mana parna rita e soaꞌ a hule-huleꞌ, ratatane rae, “We! Ia atahori pokeꞌ, fo feꞌesaꞌan mana endoꞌ hule-huleꞌ, to?”
9 ‘Yes,’ some said, ‘it is’; while others said, ‘No, but he is like him.’ The man himself said, ‘I am he.’
Atahori ruma rae, “Tebꞌe! Naa eni ena!” Atahori ruma fai rae, “Hokoꞌ! Eni, matan mahombeꞌ onaꞌ atahori naa boe!” Te atahori naa nafadꞌe nae, “Hokoꞌ! Ia au ena! Feꞌesaꞌan fo pokeꞌ a!”
10 ‘How did you get your sight, then?’ they asked.
Basa ma ratane rae, “Taꞌo bee de bisa mita onaꞌ ia, e?”
11 ‘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.’
Boe ma ana nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Atahori fo naran Yesus naa, tao tane, de Ana lelemu neu mata ngga. Boe ma Ana denu au nae, ‘Muu sia lifu Siloam, fo murou matam sia naa.’ De au tao tungga. Naeni de ia naa au bisa ita ena!”
12 ‘Where is he?’ they asked. ‘I do not know,’ he answered.
Basa ma ratane rae, “De atahori naa sia bee?” Ma ana nataa nae, “Teꞌee, de!”
13 They took the man, who had been blind, to the Pharisees.
Faiꞌ naa, leleꞌ Yesus sesebꞌoꞌ tane a, ma tao atahori pokeꞌ a bisa nita, nandaa no atahori Yahudi ra fai hahae tao ue-osaꞌ. Boe ma ara rendi atahori fo maꞌahulun pokeꞌ a, neu nataa sia partei agama Farisi ra atahori nara.
14 Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the paste and gave him his sight.
15 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.’
Basa ma, atahori Farisi ra ratane rae, “Mufadꞌe sobꞌa dei! Taꞌo bee de ia na bisa mita ena?” Ana nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia. Atahori naa tao tane neu mata ngga. Basa de au uu urou mata ngga. Ia na au bisa ita ena.”
16 ‘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?’
Hambu atahori Farisi ruma rae, “Atahori mana tao nahaiꞌ nggo naa, nda mia Lamatualain sa. Hai bubꞌuluꞌ, huu Ana nalena-langga hohoro-lalaneꞌ soꞌal fai hahae tao ue-osaꞌ.” Hambu ruma fai rae, “Taꞌo bee de atahori mana tao salaꞌ bisa tao manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ taꞌo naa?” Basa ma rareresi losa ara saranggaa.
17 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?’
Dadꞌi ara ratane seluꞌ atahori feꞌesaꞌan pokeꞌ a rae, “Tungga nggo naa, Atahori mana tao nalaa matam naa, atahori mataꞌ bee?” Ana nataa nae, “Tungga au, na, Eni, Lamatualain mana ola-olan esa.”
18 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.
Te atahori Yahudi ra malangga nara nda ramahere rae, atahori naa parna poke, te ia naa bisa nita ena. Boe ma ara denu reu roꞌe ina-aman fo rema rataa.
19 ‘Is this your son,’ they asked, ‘who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?’
Leleꞌ ara rema, malangga ra ratane rae, “Atahori ia, hei anam, do? Tebꞌe, do hokoꞌ, memaꞌ ana poke eniꞌ a bonggi e, do? Basa ma, taꞌo bee de ia na ana bisa nita?”
20 ‘We know that this is our son,’ answered the parents, ‘and that he was born blind;
Atahori na ina-aman rataa rae, “Eni ia, memaꞌ hai anam. Boe ma memaꞌ ana poke eniꞌ a bonggi e.
21 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.’
Te hai nda bubꞌuluꞌ, ana pake saa de ia naa ana bisa nita sa. Seka mana tao nalaa matan, hai o nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa boe. Eni, monaeꞌ ena. Netane sia e, huu ana bisa dui aon!”
22 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.
Ara olaꞌ taꞌo naa, huu ara ramatau atahori Yahudi ra malangga nara. Huu ara bubꞌuluꞌ oi, malangga ra ralaꞌ esa rae, “Mete ma hambu atahori rataa rae, Yesus, naeni Kristus, naa, hita musi mbuu hendi atahori mana nataa naꞌo naa mia hita atahori Yahudi ra ume hule-oꞌen.”
23 This was why his parents said “He is old enough; ask him.”
Naeni de atahori naa ina-ama nara, rataa rae, “Eni monaeꞌ ena. Netane sia e.”
24 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.’
Basa de ara roꞌe seluꞌ atahori fo feꞌesaꞌan pokeꞌ naa. Boe ma ara rae, “Taꞌo ia! Musi mutaa no matetuꞌ sia Lamatualain matan fo munea nara malolen. Huu hai mihine tebꞌeꞌ, Yesus naa, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ.”
25 ‘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.’
Atahori fo parna pokeꞌ a nataa nae, “Amaꞌ se afiꞌ miminasa, e! Huu au nda uhine ae Eni, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ, do hokoꞌ sa. Te au uhine tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ, naeni, feꞌesaꞌan au pokeꞌ; te ia naa, au bisa ita ena.”
26 ‘What did he do to you?’ they asked. ‘How did he give you your sight?’
Ara ratane fai rae, “Ana tao nggo taꞌo bee? Ana buka matam taꞌo bee?”
27 ‘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?’
Boe ma ana nataa nae, “Hee! Faꞌra au dui ena, te hei nda nau rena sa. Saa de hei nauꞌ a au dui seluꞌ fai? Seꞌu te amaꞌ se nau mae dadꞌi ana mana tunggan boe, do?”
28 ‘You are his disciple,’ they retorted scornfully. ‘But we are disciples of Moses.
Basa ma ara rarai e, ma rae, “Hela neu fo akaꞌ mesaꞌ nggo dadꞌi ana mana tunggan! Huu hai ia, baꞌi Musa ana mana tungga nara.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but, as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.’
Hai bubꞌuluꞌ Lamatualain ola-olaꞌ no baꞌi Musa. Te hai nda bubꞌuluꞌ Atahori naa, nema mia ndolaꞌ bee sa boe.”
30 ‘Well,’ the man replied, ‘this is very strange; you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has given me my sight!
Atahori fo maꞌahulun pokeꞌ a nataa nae, “Heran, e! Hei nda mihine Ana mia bee nema sa boe. Tao-tao te Eni mana tao nalaa mata ngga de ia na au ita ena.
31 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.
Basa nggita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, Lamatualain nda rena atahori deꞌulakaꞌ ra sa, to? Te Lamatualain rena atahori rala ndoos, mana nasodꞌa tao tungga Eni hihii-nanaun.
32 Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as anyone’s giving sight to a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
Eniꞌ a Lamatualain naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ losa leleꞌ ia, nda hambu dudꞌuit esa sa boe, soꞌal atahori tao nahaiꞌ atahori pokeꞌ mana pokeꞌ eniꞌ a bonggi hendi e, de ana bisa nita. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.’
Dadꞌi mete ma Yesus nda nema mia Lamatualain sa, tantu Ana nda bisa tao nala saa sa boe, to?”
34 ‘You,’ they retorted, ‘were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?’ So they expelled him.
Boe ma ara rataa rae, “Weh! Ho ia, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ mia ina ma bonggi hendi nggo! Taꞌo bee de bisa duꞌa mae ho bisa munori baliꞌ hai fai?” Basa ma ara mbuu hendi e mia sira ume hule-oꞌen.
35 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?’
Leleꞌ Yesus rena ara mbuu hendi atahori feꞌesaꞌan pokeꞌ a mia ume hule-oꞌeꞌ a, ma Ana neu sangga atahori naa, losa hambu e. Boe ma Ana nae, “Taꞌo bee! Mumuhere Atahori Matetuꞌ a, do?”
36 ‘Tell me who he is, Sir,’ he replied, ‘so that I may believe in him.’
Ana natane baliꞌ nae, “Eni seka, Papa? Tulun nefadꞌe dei, naa fo au bisa umuhere E boe.”
37 ‘Not only have you seen him,’ said Jesus, ‘but it is he who is now speaking to you.’
Boe ma Yesus nafadꞌe nae, “Mundaa mo E ena. Naeni Au ia, mana ola-olaꞌ no nggo leleꞌ ia.”
38 ‘Then, Sir, I do believe,’ said the man, bowing to the ground before him;
Basa ma atahori naa nae, “Papa, au umuhere!” Boe ma ana sendeꞌ lululanggan de beꞌutee mbali Yesus.
39 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.’
Basa ma Yesus olaꞌ mbali e nae, “Au uma sia raefafoꞌ ia fo utudꞌu atahori ra sala-kilu nara, naa fo atahori pokeꞌ ra rita, ma atahori mata meu-malaaꞌ ra dadꞌi pokeꞌ.”
40 Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him said, ‘Then are we blind too?’
Sia naa hambu atahori Farisi hira rena oꞌolan boe. Boe ma ara ratane rae, “Taꞌo bee, ia? Tebe-tebeꞌ hai nda pokeꞌ sa, to?”
41 ‘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.
Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia. Mete ma memaꞌ hei nda pokeꞌ sa, na, nda hambu mana fee salaꞌ neu nggi sa. Te mae, hei atahori mata meu-malaaꞌ. Naeni de hei feꞌe lemba-doi sala mara.”
