< John 9 >

1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
Ikighono kimonga uYesu ye ighenda, ali na vavulanisivua vaake, akamwagha umuunhu jumonga umbofu amaaso kuhuma iholua.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Avavulanisivua vala vakamposia uYesu vakati, “Ghwe m'bulanisi, umuunhu uju alyaholilue m'bofu vwimila inyivi saani? Vwimila inyivi saake nambe vwimila inyivi sa vapaafi vaake?”
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
UYesu akavamula akati, “Umuunhu uju naalyaholilue m'bofu vwimila inyivi saka, nambe vwimila inyivi sa vapaafi vaake. Ulwene alyaholilue mbofu, neke ingufu sa Nguluve sivoneke kukilila umwene.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
Tulondua kuvomba imbombo ija Nguluve juno asung'hile, pano jijiighe mwisi. Ikilo jikwisa pano umuunhu nangavombe imbombo iji.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Pano nijighe mu iisi, nili lumuli ku vaanhu vooni.
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
UYesu ye ajovile isio, akafuunya amati paasi, akakanda akatope na mati ghala, akapaka amaaso gha m'bofu jula.
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
Akambuula akati, “Lutagha ghwoghe ku maaso mu lilamba ilya Siloamu (Ilitavua ili Siloamu kwe kuti juno asunghile). Pepano akaluta kukwogha ku maaso, akagomoka ilola.
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
Avabading'hani vaake na vange vooni vano valyale vikumwagha ulutasi isuuma ifiinu, vakava vikuposania viiti, “Asi, umuunhu uju naghwe juno ikalagha pamonga isuuma ifiinu?”
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
Vamonga vakati, “Ghwe mwene. “Avange vakati, “Naghwe mwene looli ahwaniine fiijo nu mwene. “Neke umwene akavavuula akati, “Neene!”
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
Pe vakamposia vakati, “Luveele ndaani kuhanga amaaso ghaako ghilola?”
11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
Umwene akavamula akati, “Umuunhu juno itambulua Yesu, avele akandile akatope, amhakile amaaso, pe ambulile atiile, 'Lutagha ghwoghe mu lilamba ilya Siloamu.' Naluta, noogha, ye navonagha ilola.”
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
Avaanhu vala vakamposia, vakati, “Umuunhu ujuo alikughi?' Umwene akavamula akati, “Nwisi.”
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Pe avaanhu vala vakantwala ku Vafalisayi umuunhu jula juno alyale m'bofu.
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Ikighono kino uYesu alyakandile akarope na kukunsosia um'bofu jula, kilyale kighono kya Sabati.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
Pe aVafalisayi vakamposia umuunhu jula vakati, “Asi, usokile ndaani uvubofu vwako?” Akavamula akati, “Umuunhu jumonga amhaka akatope amaaso, neke noogha, lino nilola.”
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.
Pepano aVafalisayi vamonga vakati, “Umuunhu juno avombile uluo, naahumile kwa Nguluve, ulwakuva ivomba mukighono ikya Sabati luno nalukwitikisivua mu ndaghilo. “Neke avange vakati, “Umuunhu umhosi ndepoonu ivomba ifidegho fino fihufia ifivalilo ndavule ifi?” Mu uluo vakalekeng'hana.
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
Pe aVafalisayi vakamposi kange umuunhu jula vakati, “Asi, uve ghwiti ndaani vwimila umuunhu juno akusosisie amaaso?” Umwene akavamula akati, “Une niiti umuunhu jula m'bili ghwa Nguluve.”
18 The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
Avalongosi va Vayahudi vala navalyitiike kuuti umuunhu jula alyaholilue m'bofu neke lino asokile ilola, kuhanga vakavakemela avapaafi vaake.
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
Vakavaposia avapaafi avakati, “Asi, umuunhu uju juno mwiti aholilue m'bofu, mwana ghwinu? Asokile ndaani uvubofu vwake?”
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Avapaafi vaake vakavamula vakati, “Usue tukagwile kuuti, uju ghwe mwana ghwitu, alyaholilue m'bofu.
21 but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
Neke natukagwile atengwile ndaani kulola. Kange naju muunhu juno ansosisie amaaso, natummanyile. Mumposie, muunhu n'goyo, ikuvavuula jujuo.”
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
Avapaafi vaake valyajovile uluo, ulwakuva valyale vikwoghopa avalongosi va Vayahudi. Avalongosi avuo valyiting'hiine kuuti umuunhu juno ikwitika kuuti uYesu ghwe Kilisite, vikun'daga mumasinagogi ghaave.
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
Fye nambe avapaafi vala valyatiile, “Umwene muunhu n'goyo, mumposie jujuo.”
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
Avalongosi va Vayahudi vakankemeela ulwa vuvili umuunhu jula juno alyale m'bofu, vakam'buula vakati, “Jova isa kyang'haani pamaaso gha Nguluve! Usue tukagwile kuuti umuunhu ujuo juno akusosisie, mhosi.”
25 He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
Umwene akavamula akati, “kuuti umuunhu ujuo mhosi, une nanikagwile, looli nikagwile kuuti nilyale m'bofu, lino nilola.
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
Vakamposia kange vakati, “Asi, umuunhu ujuo avombile kiki kukukusosia amaaso ghaako?”
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
Umwene akavamula akati, “Une nivavulile, umue namulonda kukumhulika, kiki mulonda nivavuule kange? NeKe najumue mulonda kuuva vavulanisivua vaake?”
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Pe vakam'bepanula vakanjova vakati, “Uve veeve m'bulanisivua ghwake! Usue tulivavulanisivua va Moose.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
Tukagwile kuuti uNguluve alyajovile nu Moose, neke umuunhu ujuo, natunkagwile na kuno ahumile.
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
Umwene akavamula akati, “Isi sa kudegha! Namunkagwile kuno ahumile umuunu juno asosisie amaaso ghaango!
31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
Tukagwile kuuti uNguluve naipulika inyifunyo isa vahosi looli ikumpulika umuunhu juno ikumwoghopa nakuvomba isa vughane vwake.
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
Kuhuma uNguluve ipela iisi, natughelile kupulika nambe lusiku kuuti umuunhu jumonga ansosisie umuunhu juno aholilue m'bofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
Umuunhu ujuo aale aave naahumile kwa Nguluve, naale ivomba isi.”
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
Avene vakamwamula vakati, “Uve ulyaholilue mu vuhosi, ghulonda pikutuvulanisia usue? Pe vakan'daga mu sinagogi.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
UYesu akapulika kuuti umuunhu jula van'dagile mu sinagogi. Pe akalondagha kutang'hana naghwo. Ye amwaghile, akamposia akati, “Uve, ghukumwitika uMwana ghwa Muunhu?
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
Umuunhu jula akamwamula akati, “Gwe Mutwa, ghwe veeni uMwana ghwa Muunhu, nimwitike?”
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Umwaghile, umuunhu ujuo ghwe juno ijova nuuve lino.”
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
Umuunhu jula akati, “Nikwitika! “Pe akamwimika uYesu.
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
UYesu akati, “Une nisile mu isi kuhiga avaanhu, kuuti avabofu amaaso valolaghe, vano vikuvona vilola, vave vabofu amaaso.”
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
Avafalisayi vamonga vano pwevalyale pala, ye vapuliike imhola isio, vakamposia vakati, Asi, kwe kuti usue tulivabofu?
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
UYesu akavamula akati, “Mwale muuve vabofu, namwale muuva vahosi. Neke ulwakuva mwiti mulola, mujigha nu vuhosi vwinu.”
