John 9
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
Na, i a Ihu e haere ana, ka kite ia i tetahi tangata i matapo, no tona whanautanga mai ano.
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
Na ka ui ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, ko wai i hara, ko tenei, ko ona matua ranei, i whanau matapo ai ia?
3 Jesus replied, “His being blind was not because he or his parents sinned. Instead, [he has been blind] in order that [people can] see the power of God {the power of God can be seen} as a result of [what will now happen] to him.
Ka whakahokia e Ihu, Ehara i te mea ko tenei kua hara, ko ona matua ranei: engari kia ai ai ia hei whakakitenga mo nga mahi a te Atua.
4 While there is still time, I must do the work that the one who sent me [wants me to do. Just like daytime is followed by] nighttime when people do not work, [at the end of our lives] [MET] [it is too late for us to do what God wants].
Me mahi e tatou nga mahi a toku kaitono mai i te mea e ao ana: meake ko te po e kore ai e taea he mahi e tetahi tangata.
5 While I am still [living] in this world, I am the [one who enables people to know about God, like] [MET] [a] light enables the people in [MTY] this world [to see what is in the darkness].”
I ahau i te ao nei, ko ahau te marama o te ao.
6 After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made [a little bit of] mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
Ka mutu enei korero ana, ka tuwha ia ki te whenua, a pokepokea ana tetahi paru ki te huware, pania atu ana te paru ki nga kanohi o te matapo,
7 Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ‘sent;’ [just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus]). So the man went and washed [in the pool], and when he went home he was able to see!
Na ka mea ki a ia, haere ki te horoi ki te kaukauranga i Hiroama, ko Tono te whakamaoritanga. Na haere ana ia, horoi ana, a hoki titiro ana mai.
8 His neighbors and others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn’t he?”
Na ka mea nga tangata e noho tata ana, ratou ko nga tangata i kite i tona matapotanga i mua, Ehara ianei tenei i taua tangata i noho ra, i tono mea ra mana?
9 Some said, “[Yes], he is.” Others said, “No, [he is not]. It is [just] a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
Ka mea etahi, Ko ia tenei: ko etahi i mea, Kahore, engari rite tonu ki a ia te ahua. Ka mea ia, Ko ahau ra ia.
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Na te aha ra i kite ai ou kanohi?
11 He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam [pool] and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
Ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Na te tangata, e huaina nei ko Ihu, i pokepoke he paru, pania ana e ia ki oku kanohi, ka mea mai ki ahau, Haere ki Hiroama horoi ai: na, ko toku haerenga atu, ko taku horoinga, kite ana ahau.
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kei hea ia? Ka mea ia, E kore ahau e mohio.
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
Ka kawea atu ki nga parihi taua tangata i matapo i mua ra.
14 The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest). [The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
Na no te hapati i pokepokea ai e Ihu te paru, i meinga ai ona kanohi kia kite.
15 So the Pharisees also asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I can see!”
Na ka ui ano nga Parihi ki a ia, ki te pehea i kite ai ia. Ka mea ia ki a ratou, I pania e ia he paru ki oku kanohi, na horoi ana ahau, kite ana.
16 So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man [Jesus] disobeys [our rules about working] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, (he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?) [RHQ]” So they were divided.
Na ka mea etahi o nga Parihi, Ehara tenei i te tangata na te Atua, ina mea etahi, Ma te aha e taea ai enei merekara e te tangata hara? Na ka wehewehea ratou.
17 So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “[I think] he is a prophet!” [So they told him to go].
Ka mea ano ratou ki te matapo, E pehea ana koe ki a ia, ki tana meatanga i ou kanohi kia kite? Ka mea ia, He poropiti ia.
18 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was [now] able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man’s parents.
Heoi kahore nga Hurai i whakapono i matapo taua tangata, kua meinga ano kia kite, karangatia noatia e ratou nga matua ona i meinga nei kia kite,
19 [When they got there], one of [the Jewish leaders] asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? [If that is true], how is he now able to see?”
A ka ui ratou ki a raua, ka mea, Ko ta korua tama tenei, e mea nei korua i whanau matapo mai? na te aha ra ia i titiro ai inaianei?
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
Ka whakahoki ona matua ki a ratou, ka mea, E mohio ana maua, ko ta maua tama tenei, i whanau matapo mai ano:
21 But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough [to answer questions from authorities like you] He can tell you himself!”
Ko te mea ia i kite ai ia inaianei, kahore i mohiotia e maua; kahore hoki maua e mohio na wai i mea ona kanohi kia kite: he kaumatua ia; ui atu ki a ia: mana ia e korero.
22 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from [entering] their synagogues. His parents [knew that, so] they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
I penei ona matua, no te mea i mataku raua i nga Hurai: kua takoto noa ake hoki ta nga Hurai tikanga, na ki te whakaae tetahi, ko te Karaiti ia, me pei ki waho o te whare karakia.
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
Koia ona matua i mea ai, he kaumatua ia; ui atu ki a ia.
24 So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. [When he got there], the [Jewish leaders] said to him, “Knowing that God [is listening] [IDM], tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
Na ka karanga tuarua ratou ki te tangata i matapo i mua ra, ka mea ki a ia, Hoatu he kororia ki te Atua; e matau ana matou he tangata hara tenei.
25 He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kahore ahau e matau he tangata hara ranei ia: kotahi ano taku e matau nei, he matapo ahau i mua, a ina kua kite.
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
Ka mea ano ratou ki a ia, I aha ia ki a koe? I peheatia ou kanohi i meinga ai e ia kia kite?
27 He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not [RHQ] pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? (Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though [IRO] you also want to become his disciples [RHQ]).”
Ka whakahokia e ia ki a ratou, Kua korerotia ano e ahau ki a koutou ina tonu nei, a kihai koutou i whakarongo: he aha koutou i hiahia ai kia rongo ano? E mea ana oti koutou kia meinga hei akonga mana?
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
Na whakahi ana ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Ko tana akonga koe; ko matou ia he akonga na Mohi.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he [gets any authority] from!”
E matau ana matou i korero te Atua ki a Mohi: ko tenei tangata ia kahore matou e matau ki tona wahi i haere mai ai.
30 The man replied, “That is very surprising! You [say that] you do not know where he [gets any authority]. But he enabled me to see!
Na ka whakahoki taua tangata, ka mea ki a ratou, Ha! he mea whakamiharo ra tenei, kahore koutou i matau ki tona wahi i haere mai ai, otira kua meinga e ia oku kanohi kia kite.
31 We know that God does not help sinners [who ask God to help them]. Instead, he listens to [and helps] godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
E matau ana ra tatou, e kore te Atua e whakarongo ki nga tangata hara: tena ki te mea he tangata karakia tetahi ki te Atua, he mea i tana e pai ai, ka whakarongo ia ki a ia.
32 No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
Kahore rawa i rangona no te timatanga ra ano o te ao, i whakatirohia e tetahi nga kanohi o te tangata i whanau matapo. (aiōn g165)
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
Ki te mea kihai i puta mai tenei tangata i te Atua, e kore e taea e ia tetahi mea.
34 They replied to him, “You (were born [as a result of your parents’] sin [EUP]/bastard)! (Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!) [RHQ]” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, I whanau pu koe i roto i nga hara, ko koe ranei hei whakaako i a matou? Na peia ana ia e ratou ki waho.
35 Jesus heard [people say] that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven [is the Messiah]?”
I rongo a Ihu kua oti ia te pei e ratou ki waho; a, i tona kitenga i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E whakapono ana ranei koe ki te Tama a te Atua?
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
Ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ko wai ia, e te Ariki, kia whakapono ai ahau ki a ia?
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kua kite koe i a ia, ko ia hoki tenei e korero nei ki a koe.
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
Na ko tana meatanga, E te Ariki, e whakapono ana ahau. Na koropiko ana ia ki a ia.
39 Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge [the people in the world]. The result will be that [those who realize that they do not know God’s truth will perceive it. That is like] [MET] [enabling] those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who [falsely think] [IRO] that [they understand God’s truth will never understand it. That is like] [MET] [people] who are blind remaining blind permanently.”
Katahi a Ihu ka mea, I haere mai ahau ki tenei ao ki te whakarite whakawa, he mea e kite ai te hunga kahore nei i kite; e whakamatapotia ai hoki te hunga e kite ana.
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are [like] blind people, are you?”
A, ka rangona enei mea e etahi o nga Parihi e tu tahi ana me ia, ka mea ratou ki a ia, E matapo ana ano ranei matou?
41 Jesus said to them, “If you [realized that you did not yet know God’s truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like] blind people [who wanted to see. God would be able to] forgive your sins. But you are now [falsely] claiming that you [know God’s truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they] can see. [Because of that, God is not able to] forgive your sins.”
Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Me i matapo koutou, kahore o koutou hara: tena ka mea na koutou, E kite ana matou; na e mau na to koutou hara.
