Johan 9
1 A khum phai vaengah a thaang lamkah mik aka dael hlang te a hmuh.
And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “Rhabbi, unim aka tholh tih mikdael la a thaang, amah a, a manu napa a?” a ti uh.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?
3 Jesuh loh, “Amah moenih, a manu napa khaw a tholh moenih. Tedae anih dongah Pathen kah bisai te a tueng ham dongah ni.
Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.
4 Khohnin a om vaengah kai aka tueih kah bi te mamih loh saii ham a kuek. Khoyin ha pawk vaengah saii ham coeng mahpawh.
I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Diklai ah ka om vaengah, diklai kah vangnah la ka om,” a ti nah.
As long as I am in the world, I am [the] light of the world.
6 Hekah he a thui vanneh diklai a timthoih tih timtui neh dikpo a bol. Te phoeiah dikpo te a mik dongah a hluk pah.
Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.
7 Te phoeiah anih te, “Cet lamtah Siloam tuibuem ah sil,” a ti nah. [Te tah a tueih coeng te a thuingaih]. Te dongah cet tih a silh phoeiah miktueng la ha pawk.
And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.
8 Te dongah imben rhoek neh anih te buhbih ni tila aka hmu noek rhoek loh, “Ngol tih buh aka bih te anih moenih a,” a ti uh.
The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?
9 A tloe rhoek loh, “Anih ni,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Moenih, tedae anih phek la om,” a ti uh. Amah loh, “Kai kamah ni,” a ti nah.
Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: he said, It is I.
10 Te dongah anih te, “Te koinih na mik te metlam a tueng?” a ti na uh.
They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?
11 Te long te, “Jesuh la a khue uh hlang pakhat loh dikpo a bol tih kai mik a hluk. Te phoeiah kamah te, ‘Siloam la cet lamtah sil,’ a ti. Te dongah ka cet tih ka silh vaengah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.
12 Te vaengah, “Anih te melam a om,” a ti na uh hatah, “Ka ming pawh,” a ti nah.
They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
13 Hnukbuet kah mikdael te Pharisee rhoek taengah a khuen uh.
They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.
14 Jesuh loh dikpo a bol tih a mik a tueng sak vaengkah khohnin te Sabbath la om.
Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 Te dongah Pharisee rhoek long khaw metlam a tueng thai tila anih te koep a dawt uh. Te long te amih taengah, “Ka mik ah dikpo a hluk tih ka silh hatah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.
16 Te dongah Pharisee rhoek khuikah hlangvang loh, “Sabbath te a tuem pawt dongah anih te Pathen taeng lamkah hlang moenih,” a ti uh. Tedae a tloe rhoek loh, “Hlang tholh loh hebang miknoek metlam a saii thai eh?” a ti uh tih amamih ah paekboenah la om.
Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.
17 Te dongah mikdael te, “Na mik a tueng sak dongah anih kawng balae na thui eh,” koep a ti na uh hatah, “Anih tah tonghma ni,” a ti nah.
They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18 Judah rhoek loh anih mikdael la om tih koep tueng tila a tangnah uh pawt dongah mik aka tueng coeng kah a manu napa te luemluem a khue uh.
The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.
19 Te phoeiah amih rhoi te a dawt uh tih, “Anih he na capa ni nama? Anih ni mikdael la thaang na ti nama? Te koinih metlam a hmuh tarha?” a ti na uh.
And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?
20 Te dongah a manu napa loh a doo rhoi tih, “Anih he ka ca la om tih mikdael la a thaang te ka ming rhoi.
His parents answered [them] and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Tedae metla a tueng tarha khaw ka ming rhoi pawh. A mik aka ong pah te khaw ka ming pawh. Amah te dawt uh a lungcuei coeng. Amah kawng te amah loh a thui bitni,” a ti rhoi.
but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself.
22 A manu napa loh Judah rhoek te a rhih dongah ni te te a thui. Khat khat long ni Khrih te a phoei atah a hael la om saeh tila Judah rhoek loh oepsoeh la a kotluep uh.
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.
23 Te dongah ni a manu napa loh, “A lungcuei coeng amah te dawt uh,” a ti nah rhoi.
On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.
24 Te dongah mikdael la aka om hlang te a pabae la a khue uh tih, “Anih te hlang tholh ni tila mamih loh m'ming uh dongah Pathen te thangpomnah pae lah,” a ti na uh.
They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.
25 Te long khaw, “Hlang tholh la a om khaw ka ming pawh. Pakhat ka ming tah mikdael la aka om loh ka hmuh coeng,” a ti nah.
He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.
26 Te dongah amah te, “Na taengah balae a saii? Na mik te metlam a tueng sak?” a ti na uh.
And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 Amih te, “Nangmih taengah ka thui coeng dae na yaak uh moenih. Ba ham nim koep yaak ham na ngaih uh. Nangmih khaw anih hnukbang la om ham na ngaih uh pawt nim?” a ti nah.
He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?
28 Te vaengah anih te ol a bai uh tih, “Namah la anih kah hnukbang la na om, kaimih tah Moses kah hnukbang rhoek ni.
They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Pathen loh Moses a voek te ka ming uh. Tedae anih me lamkah a phoe khaw ka ming uh moenih,” a ti na uh.
We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.
30 Tekah hlang loh amih te a doo tih, “A khuet la a om lalah me lamkah ha phoe khaw na ming uh pawt te. Tedae ka mik he n'dai sak coeng.
The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.
31 Pathen loh hlangtholh rhoek kah ol te a hnatun moenih. Tedae Pathen aka hinyahkung pakhat te om tih a kongaih a saii atah anih ol a hnatun pah te m'ming.
[But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.
32 Mikdael la aka thang khat khat kah mik koep tueng tila khosuen lamkah n'yaak noek moenih. (aiōn g165)
Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Pathen taeng lamkah anih ha om pawt koinih saii thai loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.
34 Te dongah anih te a doo uh tih, “Nang tholh hoeng la na thaang tih nang loh kaimih nan thuituen van,” a ti na uh phoeiah amah te phawn a vai uh.
They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.
35 Anih phawn poengla a haek uh te Jesuh loh a yaak phoeiah anih te a hmuh tih, “Hlang capa te na tangnah a?” a ti nah.
Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 Te long te a doo tih, “Boeipa, amah te ta, te vaengah anih te ka tangnah mako?” a ti nah.
He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
37 Jesuh loh anih te, “Anih te na hmuh tih nang taengah aka cal te anih ni,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.
38 Te dongah, “Boeipa, kan tangnah,” a ti nah tih a bawk.
And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.
39 Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Laitloeknah ham he diklai la ka pawk coeng. Te daengah ni aka hmu pawt rhoek loh a hmuh vetih aka hmuh loh mikdael la a om eh,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.
40 Tekah te a taengkah aka om Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh. Te vaengah amah te, “Kaimih khaw mikdael la ka om uh pawt nim?” a ti na uh.
And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesuh loh, “Mikdael la na om uh koinih tholhnah na khueh uh mahpawh. Tedae tahae ah ka miktueng na ti uh dongah nangmih kah tholhnah te naeh pueng,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
