Yohana 9
1 U Yesu ka si hi, nato iguri u fyen wa ndi a yar shishi tu rji ni wa ba ngrji'a.
Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
2 U almajere ma ba miyen wu, “Mala, ahi nha mba latre, ahi gu'a ka a ba Itma ba Iyimma, wa ba ngrji ti fyen naki?”
and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Yesu hla ni bawu, ana igu'a na a na, Itima bi Iyima na wa ba la tre na, ani ndu iIti Irji tsira.
Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.
4 A gbigbi ndu ta ki ti ndu wa a ton me rji ni mumla. Ichu ni ye iwa idiori na tindu na.
While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Ni wa mi he ni gbungbulu'a ime yi mi ikpan u gbungbulu'a.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Ni kogon wa Yesu hla ikpi biyi a ti ten yo meme, na tsie iten ni meme'a, na vu gban ni shishi gu'a.
When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.
7 Na hla niwu hi, ni hi ngla ni takpo ma u Siloan (wa ani hla ndi mi ton).” Igu'a luhi na ka ngla, a kaban ye na ni to.
Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.
8 U indji bi igon kanhlan mba ni bi wa ba zi to rji ni sisenmu'a ani bre, u ba tre, “ana igu yi'i wa ani son na ni bre'a na?”
At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
9 Bari ba tre, a wawuyi, bari ba tisan, 'A'a, a rju wawu yi,' iwawu tre, ahime wawuyi.”
Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
10 U ba tre niwu, ba bu'u shishi'a ni he?
“How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
11 I wa sa ni bawu, iguri wa ba yo ni Yesu a hu meme na gban ni mu shishi na hla nimu, hi ni ne Siluwan ni ngla u mi hi ka ngla, u shishi lu ni to.
He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”
12 U ba miyen, “Ahe ni tsen?” wa hla, mina to na.”
“Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
13 U ba nji igu hi iwa ana indji u fyen ni Farisawa.
They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
14 Ahe ni ivi u asabar wa Yesu a hu meme na bu'u shishi niwu.
Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
15 U Farisawa ba la miyen ngari ya da a fe nito bubu, a hla bawu, a yo meme ni mu shishi u mi nglau zizan ni to.”
So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
16 Ba ni mi Farisawa ba tre, iguyi a indji Rji na, ana ni to ivi u asabar na.” U bari ba tre, “Indji u latre ni ti ni heri na to ti gban biki?” ba ga kpa ti hari.
Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
17 U ba la miyen indji u fyen ngari, “U tre ni ngeri ni tuma'a tu rji chachu iwa a bu'u shishi me?” Indji nfyen tre, ahi Anebi.”
So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.
18 Ye zizan me Farisawa ba me ba na kpa yeme nda ahi wawuyi indji u nfyen na wa ba bu'u shishima na se wa ba yo ba Time ni ba Iyi ma iwa a shishima bu'a.
The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
19 U ba miyen ba Tima ni Yima, iwa yi ahi vren bi wa bi tre bi ngrji ni fifyen? Ani he mba ani to zizan?”
and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
20 U ba Tima ba hla, “Ki to iwa yi a vren mbu wa ki ngrji ni fyen.
His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
21 Ati ni nani ya, kina to na, miyen a sen ndi, ani ya tre kima.”
But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”
22 Ba tima ba tre biyi, nitu wa ba si tie sisir Yahudawa. Yahudawa ba ba riga zi indji iwa a tre ikpe wa ani hu gon ma andi ahi Kristi, ba ban ta yo ni mi ta kpoma.
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Nitu kima, ba itima ba tre, “A sen ndi ye, miyen.”
That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
24 Ngari ba la yo u gyu u ha ba la yo igu fyen na hla niwu, “No Rji ni kon. Ki to igu yi a ndi u latre.”
So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 I gu ki hla bawu, mina to na ka a hi ndji u latre na. Ikpe riri mi to na'a mina ndji u fyen, u zizan mi to.”
He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”
26 U ba tre ahi geri a ti niwu?” ani he a bu'u shishi niwu?
“What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
27 Wa hla, “Mi hla ni yiwu ye, bina wo na ahi geri bi son bi wo ngari?
He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
28 U ba mren na hla, u almajerema, ki ta ki almare u Musa.
Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
29 Ki to Irji a tre ni mu, ki na to i wurji wa iwayi a rji'a na.”
We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
30 Igu'a sa bawu na tre, iwayi a kpe u shan (mamaki), iwa bina to iwurji iwa a rji'a na, me a bu'u shishi mu.
“That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
31 Ki to Irji na wo indji bi latre na, indji wa anita no tuma na ni tie ikpe wa ani son, ani wo wu.
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
32 Rji ni tuntru mu ni gbugbulu'a ki ti bre wo ndi idiori bu'u shishi ni indji wa ba ngrji ni fyen na. (aiōn g165)
Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Ide indji'a ana rji ni Rji na, ana ya ti kperi na.”
If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”
34 U ba sa niwu nha hla niwu, wawu'u ba ngrji ni latre, i u la si tsoro ta? U ba ban ta rju ra.
They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.
35 Yesu a wo andi ba zu rju nimi hekeli'a a wau na tre, u kpayenme ni Vren Ndji?
When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 Wa sa na tre, “Ahi nha, Bachi, wa mi kpayenme niwu?”
“Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”
37 Yesu hla niwu, “U to, ahi wawuyi wa a si tre niwu.”
“You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
38 Igu'a tre, Bachi, mi kpayenme, wa no ninkon ma (kwu gbarju niwu).
“Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
39 Yesu tre, “A tron miye, miye ni gbungbulu yi ni ndu biwa ba na to na ndu ba to, U bi wa ba ta to ndu ba yarshi (tifyen).”
Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
40 Bari ni Farisawa ba, wa ba heni wu'a ba wo wayi, na miye, “Ki me ki yarshi?”
Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
41 Yesu hla bawu, bina yarshi, bina to na, zizan bi tre, kito, naki latre bi riheri.
“If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
