Johan 9
1 Jesu loe loklam ah caeh, to naah tapen tangsuek hoi mikmaeng kami to a hnuk.
As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
2 A hnukbang kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Rabbi, hae kami loe angmah ih zaehaih pongah maw, to tih ai boeh loe amno ampanawk zaehaih pongah maw mik maengh? tiah dueng o.
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
3 Jesu mah, Angmah zaehaih pongah na ai, amno ampanawk zaehaih pongah doeh na ai: toe anih khaeah Sithaw toksakhaih to amtueng tih.
Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin nor his parents, but it happened so that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4 Khodai naah kai patoehkung ih tok to ka sak han oh: khoving naah loe mi doeh toksah thai mak ai.
I must do the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Kia long ah ka oh nathung, kai loe long aanghaih ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Hae loknawk a thuih pacoengah, anih mah long ah tamtui pathoih moe, long to tamtui hoiah kanaem ah pathluem; to pacoengah mikmaeng ih mik to long kanaem hoiah a nok pae,
After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he rubbed the mud on the blind man's eyes
7 caeh ah loe kangbuem Siloam tuili (thuih koehhaih loe patoeh tih haih ih ni) ah amsae ah, tiah a naa.
and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went and washed, and came away seeing.
8 Imtaeng kaminawk hoi anih loe mikmaeng ni, tiah hnuzong kaminawk mah, Hae kami loe anghnut moe, minawk khaeah ban patueng kami na ai maw? tiah thuih o.
Then his neighbors and those who had previously seen that he was blind were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”
9 Thoemto kaminawk mah, Hae kami loe anih to ni, tiah thuih o, kalah thoemto kaminawk mah loe, Hae kami loe anih hoiah anghmong, tiah thuih o: toe mikmaeng mah to kami loe kai ni, tiah a naa.
Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He is like him.” But he kept saying, “I am he.”
10 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Kawbangmaw na mik amtueng? tiah a naa o.
So they said to him, “How were yoʋr eyes opened?”
11 Anih mah, Jesu, tiah kawk ih kami mah long to kanaem ah pathluem moe, ka mik ah ang nok pae, to pacoengah kangbuem Siloam tuili ah amsaeh hanah ang thuih; ka caeh moe, kam saeh naah, ka mik hae amtueng, tiah pathim pae.
He answered, “A man named Jesus made mud, rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and received my sight.”
12 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, To kami loe naa ah maw oh? tiah dueng o. Anih mah, Ka panoek ai, tiah a naa.
They said to him, “Where is this man?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 Nihcae mah mikmaeng to Farasinawk khaeah hoih o.
So they brought the man who was once blind to the Pharisees.
14 Sabbath niah Jesu mah long to kanaem ah pathluem moe, mikmaeng to ngantuisak.
(Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened the man's eyes.)
15 Farasinawk mah doeh na mik loe kawbangmaw amtueng, tiah dueng o. Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Anih mah long kanaem to ka mik ah ang nok pae, tui hoiah mik ka pasaeh naah, ka mik hae amtueng, tiah a naa.
The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight, and he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.”
16 To naah thoemto Farasinawk mah, Hae kami loe Sabbath ni za ai pongah, Sithaw khae ih kami na ai ni, tiah thuih o. Kalah kaminawk mah loe, Kazae kami mah kawbangmaw hae baktih dawnrai hmuennawk to sah tih, tiah a naa o. To pongah maeto hoi maeto ampraek o.
Then some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And a division arose among them.
17 Nihcae mah mikmaeng khaeah, Na mik amtuengsak kami to kawbangmaw na poek? tiah dueng o let. To naah anih mah, To kami loe Tahmaa ni, tiah a naa.
So they said to the blind man again, “What do yoʋ say about him, since he opened yoʋr eyes?” The man said, “He is a prophet.”
18 Toe Judahnawk mah hae kami loe mikmaengh, toe vaihi loe mik amtueng boeh, tito mik amtueng kami ih amno hoi ampa kawk ai karoek to tang o ai.
Now the Jews did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they called in his parents.
19 Nihcae mah to kami ih amno hoi ampa khaeah, Anih loe tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah mik a maeng boeh, tiah na thuih hoi ih nanghnik ih capa maw? Kawbangmaw vaihi anih ih mik amtueng pae? tiah dueng o.
They asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 Anih ih amno hoi ampa mah nihcae khaeah, Hae kami loe kaihnik ih capa ni, anih loe tapen tangsuek na hoiah mikmaeng boeh:
His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21 toe kawbangmaw vaihi a mik amtueng pae let, mi mah maw a mik amtuengsak, tito ka panoek hoi ai: anih loe saning akoep boeh: to pongah angmah khaeah dueng oh: anih mah angmah kawng to thui tih hmang, tiah a naa hoi.
But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.”
22 Mi kawbaktih doeh Anih loe Kri ni, tiah thui kami loe sineko hoiah pathok si, tiah Judahnawk palung adue o; Judah kaminawk to a zit hoi pongah ni, anih ih amno hoi ampa mah to tiah lokthuih hoi.
(His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess that Jesus was the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 To pongah, anih ih amno hoi ampa mah anih loe saning akoep boeh; angmah khaeah dueng oh, tiah a thuih pae hoi.
That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”)
24 Nihcae mah mikmaeng to kawk o let moe, anih khaeah, Sithaw to mah pakoeh ah: hae kami loe kami zae, tiah ni ka panoek o, tiah a naa o.
So for a second time they called in the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 Anih mah, Hae kami loe kami zae maw, kami zae ai, tito ka panoek ai: hmuen maeto ka panoek ih oh, kai loe canghniah mik ka maengh, toe vaihi loe mik amtueng boeh, tiah a naa.
He answered, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
26 To naah nihcae mah anih khaeah, Anih mah tih maw ang sak pae? Anih mah na mik to kawbangmaw amtuengsak? tiah dueng o let.
Again they said to him, “What did he do to yoʋ? How did he open yoʋr eyes?”
27 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kang thui o boeh, toe na tahngai o ai: tikhoe thaih let han na koeh o loe? Nangcae doeh Anih hnukbang kami ah oh hanah na koeh o maw? tiah a naa.
He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”
28 To naah nihcae mah anih to zoeh o, Nang loe Anih hnukbang kami ah na oh, toe kaicae loe Mosi hnukbang kami ah ni ka oh o.
Then they reviled him and said, “Yoʋ are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Sithaw mah Mosi khaeah ni lokthuih pae, tito ka panoek o: toe hae kami loe naa ih kami maw, tito ka panoek o ai, tiah a naa o.
We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he is from.”
30 To kami mah nihcae khaeah, Dawnrai han oh, Anih loe naa ih kami maw, tito na panoek o ai, toe anih mah ni ka mik hae amtuengsak.
The man answered them, “Why, this is an amazing thing, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes!
31 Sithaw mah kami zaenawk ih lok tahngai ai, tito a panoek o: toe Sithaw to bok moe, a koehhaih sah kami ih lok loe, Anih mah tahngai pae.
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who is devout and does his will.
32 Tapen tangsuek na hoi kaom mikmaeng to mik amtuengsak, tiah long oh tangsuek na hoi mi mah doeh thai vai ai vop. (aiōn g165)
Never before has anyone heard of someone opening the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Hae kami loe Sithaw ih kami ai nahaeloe, anih mah tidoeh sah thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Kami zae ah tapen nang mah kaicae hae nang patuk maw? tiah a naa o. Anih to tasa bangah pathok o ving.
They answered him, “Yoʋ were born entirely in sin, and yet yoʋ are trying to teach us?” And they threw him out.
35 Nihcae mah mikmaeng to haek o ving, tiah Jesu mah thaih; Jesu mah mikmaeng to hnuk naah, anih khaeah, Kami Capa to na tang maw? tiah a naa.
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, “Do yoʋ believe in the Son of God?”
36 To naah mikmaeng mah Jesu khaeah, Angraeng, Anih to ka tang thai hanah, Anih loe mi maw? tiah a naa.
He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
37 Jesu mah anih khaeahAnih to na hnuk boeh bae, nang hoi lokpae kami loe anih to boeh ni, tiah a naa.
Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have seen him, and the one speaking with yoʋ is he.”
38 To naah mikmaeng mah, Angraeng, Ka tang, tiah thuih moe, Anih to a bok.
The man said, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped him.
39 Jesu mah, Kai loe mikmaengnawk mik amtuengsak moe, mik amtueng kaminawk mikmaengsak han hoi lokcaek han ih ni hae long nuiah kang zoh, tiah a naa.
Then Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”
40 Anih khae kaom thoemto Farasinawk mah to loknawk to thaih o naah, anih khaeah, Kaicae doeh mik ka maengh o maw? tiah a naa o.
Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, “We are not also blind, are we?”
41 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Mik na maeng o nahaeloe, zaehaih na tawn o mak ai: toe kaicae loe mik amtueng, tiah vaihi na thuih o pongah, zaehaih na tawnh o, tiah a naa.
Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
