John 9
1 Ke Jesus el fahla, el liyauk sie mwet su nuna isusla kun.
As Jesus was passing by, he saw a man born blind.
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?”
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, why was this man born blind? Was it him who sinned, or was it his parents?”
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 replied, “It wasn't because the man or his parents sinned. But so that what God can do may be shown in his life,
4 Kut enenu in kwafeang oru orekma lun El su supweyume ke srakna len. Fong apkuran me ke wangin mwet ac ku in orekma.
we have to keep on doing the work of the one who sent me as long as it is still daytime. The night is coming when no one can work.
5 Ke nga oasr faclu, nga kalem lun faclu.”
While I'm here 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,
After he'd said this, Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva which he put on the 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.
Then Jesus told him, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “sent”). So the man went and washed, and when he went home he could see.
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?”
His neighbors and those who had known him as a beggar, asked, “Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?”
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.”
Some said he was, while others said “no, it's just someone who looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “It is me!”
10 Elos siyuk sel, “Fuka tuh kom ku in liye inge?”
“So how is it you can see?” they asked him.
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 replied, “A man called Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes and told me, ‘Go and wash yourself in the Pool of Siloam.’ So I went and washed, and now I can see.”
12 Elos siyuk, “El oasr oya?” El topuk, “Nga nikin.”
“Where is he?” they asked. “I don't know,” he replied.
13 Na elos pwanla mwet se ma tuh kun meet nu yurin mwet Pharisee.
They took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Len Sabbath se pa Jesus el orala fohk furarrar ac sang akwoyela mutun mwet kun sac.
Now it was the Sabbath when Jesus had made the mud and opened the blind man's 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 the Pharisees also asked him how he could see. He told them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can 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.
Some of the Pharisees said, “The man who did this can't be from God because he doesn't keep the Sabbath.” But others wondered, “How could a sinner do such miracles?” So they were divided in their opinion.
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 went on questioning the man. “What's your opinion about him, then, since it's your eyes he opened,” they asked. “He's surely a prophet,” the man replied.
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
The Jewish leaders still refused to believe that the man who had been blind could now see until they had called in the man's parents.
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?”
They asked them, “Is this your son whom you say was born blind? So how is it that now he can see?”
20 Papa ac nina kial topuk, “Kut etu lah el wen natusr, ac kut etu pac lah el isusla kun.
His parents answered, “We know this is our son who 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 we've no idea how he can see now, or who healed him. Why don't you ask him, he's old enough. He can 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.
The reason his parents said this was because they were afraid of what the Jewish leaders would do. The Jewish leaders had already announced that anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.
23 Pa oru papa ac nina kial ah fahk mu, “El matu. Siyuk sel!”
That was why his parents said, “Ask him, he's old enough.”
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.”
Once more they called in the man who had been blind, and told him, “Give God the glory! We know 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.”
The man replied, “Whether he's a sinner or not, I don't know. All I know is that I was blind and now I can see.”
26 Elos siyuk, “Mea el oru nu sum pwanang kom kwela liki kun lom ah?”
Then they asked him, “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?”
The man replied, “I already told you. Weren't you listening? 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 shouted abuse at him, and said, “You're that man's disciple.
29 Kut etu lah God El kaskas nu sel Moses, a funu ke mwet sacn, kut tiana etu lah el tuku ya me!”
We're disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this person, we don't even know where he comes 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, “That's incredible! You don't know where he comes from but 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.
We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does what he wants.
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)
Never before in the whole of history has anyone heard of a man born blind being healed. (aiōn g165)
33 Mwet se inge fin tia ma sin God me, el koflana oru kutena ma.”
If this man weren't from God, he could do nothing.”
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.
“You were born totally sinful, and yet you're trying to lecture us,” they replied. And they threw him out of the synagogue.
35 Ke Jesus el lohngak ma sikyak inge, el konauk mwet sac ac siyuk sel, “Ya kom lulalfongi ke Wen nutin Mwet?”
When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he went and found the man, and asked him, “Do you trust in the Son of man?”
36 Mwet sac topuk, “Leum, fahk nu sik su el uh, tuh ngan ku in lulalfongel!”
The man replied, “Tell me who he is, sir, so I can put my trust in him.”
37 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Kom liyal tari, ac el pa kaskas nu sum inge.”
“You've already seen him. He's the one speaking with you now!” Jesus told him.
38 Mwet sac fahk, “Leum, nga lulalfongi,” ac el pasrla ye mutal ac alu nu sel.
“I trust you, Lord!” he said, and he kneeled in worship before Jesus.
39 Jesus el fahk, “Nga tuku nu faclu in nununku, tuh mwet kun fah ku in liye, ac elos su liye fah ekla kun.”
Then Jesus told him, “I've come into the world to bring judgment so that those who are blind may see, and those who see will become blind.”
40 Kutu mwet Pharisee su welul elos lohng ma el fahk inge, na elos siyuk sel, “Ya kut kun pac?”
Some Pharisees who were there with Jesus asked him, “We're not 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 answered, “If you were blind, you wouldn't be guilty. But now that you say you see, your guilt remains.”
