Yohana 9
1 U Yesu ka si hi, nato iguri u fyen wa ndi a yar shishi tu rji ni wa ba ngrji'a.
As Jesus passed along, he saw a man who had been born blind.
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, saying, 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. It was only that the works of God might be displayed upon him.
4 A gbigbi ndu ta ki ti ndu wa a ton me rji ni mumla. Ichu ni ye iwa idiori na tindu na.
I must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man 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.
Having said this, he spit upon the ground, and with the clay, which he made with the spittle, anointed the blind 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.
and said to him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies Sent.) He went, therefore, and washed them, and returned 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?”
Then the neighbors, and they who had before seen him blind, said, Is not this he who sat and begged?
9 Bari ba tre, a wawuyi, bari ba tisan, 'A'a, a rju wawu yi,' iwawu tre, ahime wawuyi.”
Some said, It is he; others, He is like him. He said, I am he.
10 U ba tre niwu, ba bu'u shishi'a ni he?
They asked him, then, How did you receive your sight?
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, A man called Jesus, made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash your eyes. I went accordingly, and washed them, and saw.
12 U ba miyen, “Ahe ni tsen?” wa hla, mina to na.”
Then they asked him, Where is he? He answered, I know not.
13 U ba nji igu hi iwa ana indji u fyen ni Farisawa.
Then they brought him, who had been blind, to the Pharisees;
14 Ahe ni ivi u asabar wa Yesu a hu meme na bu'u shishi niwu.
(now it was on a Sabbath, that Jesus made the clay, and gave him his sight.)
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.”
The Pharisees likewise, therefore, asked him how he had received his sight. He answered, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now 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.
Upon this some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, for he observes not the Sabbath. Others said, How can one that is a sinner perform such miracles? And they were divided among themselves.
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.”
Again they asked the man, who had been blind, What do you say of him, for giving you sight? He answered, He is a prophet.
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.
But the Jews believed not that the man had been blind, and had received his sight; till they called 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 them, Do you say, that this is your son, who was born blind? How, then, does he 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 that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 Ati ni nani ya, kina to na, miyen a sen ndi, ani ya tre kima.”
but how he now sees, or who opened his eyes, we know not. He is of age, ask him; he will answer 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 spoke thus, because they fear the Jews: for the Jews had already determined, that whosoever acknowledged Jesus to be the Messiah, should be expelled from the synagogue.
23 Nitu kima, ba itima ba tre, “A sen ndi ye, miyen.”
For this reason his parents said, He is of age, 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.”
A second time, therefore, they called the man, who had been born blind, and said to him, 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 replied, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, I now see.
26 U ba tre ahi geri a ti niwu?” ani he a bu'u shishi niwu?
They said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he make you see?
27 Wa hla, “Mi hla ni yiwu ye, bina wo na ahi geri bi son bi wo ngari?
He answered, I told you before; did you not hear? Why would you hear it repeated? Will you, also, be his disciples?
28 U ba mren na hla, u almajerema, ki ta ki almare u Musa.
They reviled him and said, You are his disciple. As for us, 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: as for this man, we know not whence he is.
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.
The man replied, This is surprising, that you know not whence he is, although he has given me sight.
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 hears not sinners; but if any man worship God, and obey him, that man he hears.
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 was it heard before, that any man gave sight to one 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 nothing.
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 altogether born in sin, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Yesu a wo andi ba zu rju nimi hekeli'a a wau na tre, u kpayenme ni Vren Ndji?
Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having met him, said to him, Do you believe on the Son of God?
36 Wa sa na tre, “Ahi nha, Bachi, wa mi kpayenme niwu?”
He answered, Who is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?
37 Yesu hla niwu, “U to, ahi wawuyi wa a si tre niwu.”
Jesus said to him, Not only have you seen him; but it is he, who talks with you.
38 Igu'a tre, Bachi, mi kpayenme, wa no ninkon ma (kwu gbarju niwu).
And he cried, Master, I believe; and threw himself prostrate before him.
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).”
And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they who see not, may see; and that they 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 Pharisees, who were present, hearing this, said to him, Are we also blind?
41 Yesu hla bawu, bina yarshi, bina to na, zizan bi tre, kito, naki latre bi riheri.
Jesus answered, If you were blind, you would not have sin: but you say, We see: therefore your sin remains.
