Johan 9
1 A khum phai vaengah a thaang lamkah mik aka dael hlang te a hmuh.
Now as He was passing by 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, in that he was 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 this man nor his parents sinned, but so that the works of God might be displayed 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 accomplish the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.
5 Diklai ah ka om vaengah, diklai kah vangnah la ka om,” a ti nah.
While 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.
Upon saying these things He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud on the blind man's 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 translated, ‘Sent’). So he went and washed, and came away 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.
Then the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind started saying, “Isn't this the man who sat 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.
Others said, “This is he”; still others, “He is like him.” He kept saying, “I'm the one!”
10 Te dongah anih te, “Te koinih na mik te metlam a tueng?” a ti na uh.
So they said to him, “How were your eyes 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 my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So when I went and washed, I saw!”
12 Te vaengah, “Anih te melam a om,” a ti na uh hatah, “Ka ming pawh,” a ti nah.
Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He says, “I don't know.”
13 Hnukbuet kah mikdael te Pharisee rhoek taengah a khuen uh.
They bring the man who was formerly 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 a 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.
So once again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. So he said to them, “He put mud on my 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.
Then some of the Pharisees said, “This man cannot be from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath,” Others were saying, “How can a sinful man do 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.
So they address the blind man again, “What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?” 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.
However the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight until they summoned the parents of the one who 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: “Is this your son, whom you say 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.
So 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 by what means 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 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, because the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ he would be barred from the synagogue.
23 Te dongah ni a manu napa loh, “A lungcuei coeng amah te dawt uh,” a ti nah rhoi.
That is why 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.
So they summoned the man who had been blind a second time and said to him: “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
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.
So he answered and said: “That He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know, that having been blind I now see!”
26 Te dongah amah te, “Na taengah balae a saii? Na mik te metlam a tueng sak?” a ti na uh.
So they said to him again: “What did he do to you? How did he open your 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 already told you and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become His disciples too, do you?”
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 reviled him and said: “You are that fellow's disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
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 this fellow—we don't know where he's from.”
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: “Why, this is remarkable—you don't know where He is from; yet He opened my 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.
Now we know that God doesn't listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, to him He listens.
32 Mikdael la aka thang khat khat kah mik koep tueng tila khosuen lamkah n'yaak noek moenih. (aiōn g165)
Since time began it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person 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 from God he would not be able to do anything.”
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, “You were totally born in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they expelled him.
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 expelled him, and finding him He said to him, “Do you believe into 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 into Him?”
37 Jesuh loh anih te, “Anih te na hmuh tih nang taengah aka cal te anih ni,” a ti nah.
So Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and He is the One who is speaking with you.”
38 Te dongah, “Boeipa, kan tangnah,” a ti nah tih a bawk.
So he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.
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, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see, and those who ‘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 words and said to Him, “We aren't blind too, are we?”
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 you were ‘blind’ you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see,’ so your sin remains.
