John 9
1 Ke Jesus el fahla, el liyauk sie mwet su nuna isusla kun.
Now as He was passing by He saw a man blind from birth.
2 Mwet tumal lutlut siyuk sel, “Mwet Luti, su kac koluk pwanang el uh el isusla tuh kun? Ya ma koluk lal sifacna, ku ma lun papa tumal ac nina kial?”
And His disciples asked Him saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, in that he was born blind?”
3 Jesus el topuk, “Tia ke sripen ma koluk lal sifacna ku koluk lun papa tumal ac nina kial pa pwanang el kun, a tuh ku lun God in ku in akilenyuk in el.
Jesus answered: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
4 Kut enenu in kwafeang oru orekma lun El su supweyume ke srakna len. Fong apkuran me ke wangin mwet ac ku in orekma.
I must accomplish the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.
5 Ke nga oasr faclu, nga kalem lun faclu.”
While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”
6 Tukun el fahk ma inge, Jesus el anila nu infohk uh ac arukak ani nu ke fohk uh, ac sang mosrwela mutun mwet sac,
Upon saying these things He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud on the blind man's eyes.
7 na el fahk nu sel, “Fahla ac twanla motom ke Lulu in Kof Siloam.” (Kalmen ine se inge pa “Supweyukla.”) Ouinge mwet sac som, twanla mutal, ac el foloko tuh liyaten.
And He said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, ‘Sent’). So he went and washed, and came away seeing!
8 Na mwet tulan lal ac elos su liyal ke el mwet ngusr se meet, elos asiyuki, “Tia pa inge mwet se ma muta ngusr ah?”
Then the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind started saying, “Isn't this the man who sat begging?”
9 Kutu selos fahk, “Pwaye, el pa ingan,” a kutu pac fahk, “Mo, tia el. El oana mwet sac.” Ouinge mwet sac sifacna fahk, “Nga pa mwet sac.”
Others said, “This is he”; still others, “He is like him.” He kept saying, “I'm the one!”
10 Elos siyuk sel, “Fuka tuh kom ku in liye inge?”
So they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 El topuk, “Mwet se pangpang Jesus el orala fohk furarrar, ac sang mosrwela mutuk, ac fahk nga in som nu Siloam ac twanla mutuk. Na nga som, ac pacl se na nga twanla mutuk, nga ku in liye.”
He answered and said: “A man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So when I went and washed, I saw!”
12 Elos siyuk, “El oasr oya?” El topuk, “Nga nikin.”
Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He says, “I don't know.”
13 Na elos pwanla mwet se ma tuh kun meet nu yurin mwet Pharisee.
They bring the man who was formerly blind to the Pharisees.
14 Len Sabbath se pa Jesus el orala fohk furarrar ac sang akwoyela mutun mwet kun sac.
(Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.)
15 Na mwet Pharisee elos sifilpa siyuk sin mwet sac lah fuka nwe el ku in liye. El fahk nu selos, “El sang fohk furarrar nu ke mutuk. Nga twanla mutuk, ac inge nga ku in liye.”
So once again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. So he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
16 Kutu sin mwet Pharisee fahk, “Mwet se ma orala ma se inge tia ku in ma sin God me, mweyen el tia akos Ma Sap ke Sabbath.” A kutu mwet uh fahk, “Fuka tuh mwet koluk se in ku in oru kain luman mwenmen inge?” Na elos srisrielik.
Then some of the Pharisees said, “This man cannot be from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath,” Others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
17 Ke ma inge mwet Pharisee elos sifilpa siyuk sin mwet sac, “Kom fahk mu el akkalemyela motom — kwal, mea kom ac fahk kacl?” Mwet sac topuk, “El mwet palu se.”
So they address the blind man again, “What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
18 Tusruktu mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos tia lungse lulalfongi mu el kun meet ac inge el ku in liye, nwe ke na elos pangonma papa ac nina kial
However the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had received sight.
19 ac siyuk seltal, “Ma nutumtal pa mukul se inge? Komtal fahk mu el isusla tuh kun. Na fuka tuh inge el ku in liye?”
And they asked them saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 Papa ac nina kial topuk, “Kut etu lah el wen natusr, ac kut etu pac lah el isusla kun.
So his parents answered them and said: “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Tusruktu kut tia etu lah fuka tuh inge el ku in liye. Kut tia pac etu lah su akkeyalla ke kun lal uh. Siyuk sel. El matu ac el ku in sifacna topuk!”
but by what means 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.”
22 Papa ac nina kial ah fahk ouinge mweyen eltal sangeng sin mwet fulat lun mwet Jew, su insesela tari mu mwet se ma fahk mu el lulalfongi lah Jesus pa Christ, ac sisila el liki iwen lolngok.
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, because the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ he would be barred from the synagogue.
23 Pa oru papa ac nina kial ah fahk mu, “El matu. Siyuk sel!”
That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24 Elos sifilpa solama mwet se su isusla kun, ac fahk nu sel, “Wulela ye mutun God lah kom ac kaskas na pwaye! Kut etu lah mwet se su akkeyekomla inge el mwet koluk se.”
So they summoned the man who had been blind a second time and said to him: “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 Mwet sac topuk, “Nga tia etu lah el mwet koluk se ku tia. Ma sefanna nga etu: nga mwet kun se meet, ac inge nga liye.”
So he answered and said: “That He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know, that having been blind I now see!”
26 Elos siyuk, “Mea el oru nu sum pwanang kom kwela liki kun lom ah?”
So they said to him again: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 El topuk, “Nga fahk tari nu suwos, a kowos tiana porongo. Efu kowos ku lungse sifilpa lohng? Mea, kowos lungse wela pac mwet tumal lutlut?”
He answered them: “I already told you and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become His disciples too, do you?”
28 Elos suwoswosyang nu sel ac fahk, “Kom pa mwet tuma lutlut lun mwet sacn, a kut mwet lutlut lal Moses.
They reviled him and said: “You are that fellow's disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
29 Kut etu lah God El kaskas nu sel Moses, a funu ke mwet sacn, kut tiana etu lah el tuku ya me!”
We know that God spoke to Moses; but this fellow—we don't know where he's from.”
30 Mwet sac topuk, “Mea sakirik se! Kowos tia etu lah el tuku ya me, a el akkeyeyula liki kun luk uh!
The man answered and said to them: “Why, this is remarkable—you don't know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!
31 Kut etu lah God El porongo mwet su inse pwaye nu sel ac akos ma lungse lal. El tia porongo mwet koluk uh.
Now we know that God doesn't listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, to him He listens.
32 Oe ke mutawauk lun faclu, wangin sie mwet lohng mu sie mwet ku in sang liyaten nu sin sie mwet su isusla kun. (aiōn g165)
Since time began it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Mwet se inge fin tia ma sin God me, el koflana oru kutena ma.”
If this man were not from God he would not be able to do anything.”
34 Ac elos topuk, “Kom isusla in ma koluk ac matula in ma koluk, a kom srike in luti kut?” Na elos sisella liki iwen lolngok uh.
They answered and said to him, “You were totally born in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they expelled him.
35 Ke Jesus el lohngak ma sikyak inge, el konauk mwet sac ac siyuk sel, “Ya kom lulalfongi ke Wen nutin Mwet?”
Jesus heard that they had expelled him, and finding him He said to him, “Do you believe into the Son of God?”
36 Mwet sac topuk, “Leum, fahk nu sik su el uh, tuh ngan ku in lulalfongel!”
He answered and said, “And who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?”
37 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Kom liyal tari, ac el pa kaskas nu sum inge.”
So Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and He is the One who is speaking with you.”
38 Mwet sac fahk, “Leum, nga lulalfongi,” ac el pasrla ye mutal ac alu nu sel.
So he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.
39 Jesus el fahk, “Nga tuku nu faclu in nununku, tuh mwet kun fah ku in liye, ac elos su liye fah ekla kun.”
And Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see, and those who ‘see’ may become blind.”
40 Kutu mwet Pharisee su welul elos lohng ma el fahk inge, na elos siyuk sel, “Ya kut kun pac?”
And some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words and said to Him, “We aren't blind too, are we?”
41 Jesus el fahk, “Kowos fin kun, na ac wangin mwatuwos. Tusruktu ke kowos fahk mu kowos ku in liye, kalmac pa oasr na mwatuwos.”
Jesus said to them: “If you were ‘blind’ you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see,’ so your sin remains.
