Johan 9
1 A khum phai vaengah a thaang lamkah mik aka dael hlang te a hmuh.
And when he went on his way, 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 put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?
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 said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly 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.
While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.
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 timthoeih tih timtui neh dikpo a bol. Te phoeiah dikpo te a mik dongah a hluk pah.
Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the 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 said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.
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 neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?
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, I am he.
10 Te dongah anih te, “Te koinih na mik te metlam a tueng?” a ti nauh.
So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?
11 Te long te, “Jesuh la a khue uh hlang pakhat loh dikpo a bol tih kai mik a hluk. Te phoeiah kamah te, “Silaom la cet lamtah sil,’ a ti. Te dongah ka cet tih ka silh vaengah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.
12 Te vaengah, “Anih te melam a om,” a ti na uh hatah, “Ka ming pawh,” a ti nah.
And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.
13 Hnukbuet kah mikdael te Pharisee rhoek taengah a khuen uh.
They took him before the Pharisees — this man who had been blind.
14 Jesuh loh dikpo a bol tih a mik a tueng sak vaengkah khohnin te Sabbath la om.
Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.
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 the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to 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, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So 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.
Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your 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.
Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,
19 Te phoeiah amih roi 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 nauh.
And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to 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.
In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:
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 it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer 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 om saeh tila laJudah rhoek loh oepsoeh la a kotluep uh.
They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.
23 Te dongah ni a manu napa loh, “A lungcuei coeng amah te dawt uh,” a ti nah rhoi.
That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to 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 nauh.
So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us 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.
He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.
26 Te dongah amah te, “Na taengah balae a saii? Na mik te metlam a tueng sak?” a ti nauh.
Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of 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.
His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire 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.
And they were angry with him and said, You are 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 nauh.
We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes 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 said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of 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.
We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.
32 Mikdael la aka thang khat khat kah mik koep tueng tila khosuen lamkah n'yaak noek moenih. (aiōn g165)
In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open. (aiōn g165)
33 Pathen taeng lamkah anih ha om pawt koinih saii thai loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
If this man did not come from God he would be unable 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.
Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.
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.
It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?
36 Te long te a doo tih, “Boeipa, amah te ta, te vaengah anih te ka tangnah mako?” a ti nah.
He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.
37 Jesuh loh anih te, “Anih te na hmuh tih nang taengah aka cal te anih ni,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.
38 Te dongah, “Boeipa, kan tangnah,” a ti nah tih a bawk.
And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.
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 to be a judge, 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 nauh.
These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?
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 have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.
