Johan 9
1 A khum phai vaengah a thaang lamkah mik aka dael hlang te a hmuh.
And Jesus, while passing by, 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, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would 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 responded: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God would be made manifest 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 who sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no one is able to 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 timthoeih tih timtui neh dikpo a bol. Te phoeiah dikpo te a mik dongah a hluk pah.
When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and he made clay from the spittle, and he smeared the clay over 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 translated as: one who has been sent). Therefore, he went away and washed, and he returned, 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.
And so the bystanders and those who had seen him before, when he was a beggar, said, “Is this not the one who was sitting and begging?” Some said, “This is he.”
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.
But others said, “Certainly not, but he is similar to him.” Yet truly, he himself said, “I am he.”
10 Te dongah anih te, “Te koinih na mik te metlam a tueng?” a ti nauh.
Therefore, 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, “Silaom la cet lamtah sil,’ a ti. Te dongah ka cet tih ka silh vaengah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
He responded: “That man who is called Jesus made clay, and he anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ And I went, and I washed, and I 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?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 Hnukbuet kah mikdael te Pharisee rhoek taengah a khuen uh.
They brought the one who had been 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 the Sabbath, when Jesus made the clay 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.
Therefore, again the Pharisees questioned him as to how he had seen. And he said to them, “He placed clay over 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.
And so certain Pharisees said: “This man, who does not keep the Sabbath, is not from God.” But others said, “How could a sinful man accomplish these signs?” And there was a schism 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.
Therefore, they spoke again to the blind man, “What do you say about him who opened your eyes?” Then 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.
Therefore, the Jews did not believe, about him, that he had been blind and had seen, until they called the parents of him who had seen.
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 they questioned them, saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how is it that he now sees?”
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 responded to 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 it is that he now sees, we do not know. And who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough. Let him 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 om saeh tila laJudah rhoek loh oepsoeh la a kotluep uh.
His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already conspired, so that if anyone were to confess him to be the Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
23 Te dongah ni a manu napa loh, “A lungcuei coeng amah te dawt uh,” a ti nah rhoi.
It was for this reason that his parents said: “He is old enough. 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 nauh.
Therefore, they again called the man who had been blind, and they 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.
And so he said to them: “If he is a sinner, I do not know it. One thing I do know, that although I was blind, 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 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 have already told you, and you heard it. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want 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.
Therefore, they cursed him and said: “You be 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 know that God spoke to Moses. But this man, we do not know where he is 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 responded and said to them: “Now in this is a wonder: that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has 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.
And we know that God does not hear sinners. But if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, then he heeds him.
32 Mikdael la aka thang khat khat kah mik koep tueng tila khosuen lamkah n'yaak noek moenih. (aiōn g165)
From ancient times, it has not been heard that anyone has opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Pathen taeng lamkah anih ha om pawt koinih saii thai loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Unless this man were of God, he would not be able to do any such thing.”
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 responded and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you would teach 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 when he had found him, he said to him, “Do you believe in 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 responded and said, “Who is he, Lord, so that I may believe in 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, “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.
And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And falling prostrate, he worshipped 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 in judgment, so that those who do not see, may see; and so that 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.
And certain Pharisees, who were with him, heard this, and they said to him, “Are we also 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 not have sin. Yet now you say, ‘We see.’ So your sin persists.”
