John 9
1 Ke Jesus el fahla, el liyauk sie mwet su nuna isusla kun.
As he passed 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?”
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, 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, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed 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 work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The 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,
When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
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 said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back 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?”
Therefore the neighbours and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
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 were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
10 Elos siyuk sel, “Fuka tuh kom ku in liye inge?”
They therefore were asking 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, “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.”
12 Elos siyuk, “El oasr oya?” El topuk, “Nga nikin.”
Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
13 Na elos pwanla mwet se ma tuh kun meet nu yurin mwet Pharisee.
They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Len Sabbath se pa Jesus el orala fohk furarrar ac sang akwoyela mutun mwet kun sac.
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.”
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.”
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 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 amongst 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.”
Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because 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
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,
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 asked them, “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.
His parents answered them, “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 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.”
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; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Pa oru papa ac nina kial ah fahk mu, “El matu. Siyuk sel!”
Therefore 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 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.”
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.”
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.”
26 Elos siyuk, “Mea el oru nu sum pwanang kom kwela liki kun lom ah?”
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 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?”
28 Elos suwoswosyang nu sel ac fahk, “Kom pa mwet tuma lutlut lun mwet sacn, a kut mwet lutlut lal Moses.
They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
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 has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t 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 them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes 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.
We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
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 the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone 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 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.
They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
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 thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 Mwet sac topuk, “Leum, fahk nu sik su el uh, tuh ngan ku in lulalfongel!”
He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
37 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Kom liyal tari, ac el pa kaskas nu sum inge.”
Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
38 Mwet sac fahk, “Leum, nga lulalfongi,” ac el pasrla ye mutal ac alu nu sel.
He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshipped 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.”
Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgement, that those who don’t see may see; and that 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?”
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
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 have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
