Yohana 9
1 Che Yesu paŵapitaga, ŵambweni mundu jwangalola chitandile kupagwa kwakwe.
And when he went on his way, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya, Ana ŵaani ŵatesile sambi mpaka mundu ju apagwe ali ngakulola, mundu ju pane achaŵelesi ŵakwe?”
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 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngaŵa mundu ju atamuno achaŵelesi ŵakwe ŵaŵatesile sambi, nambo apagwile jwangalola kuti machili ga Akunnungu gawoneche gachipanganyaga masengo mu utame wakwe.
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 Tukusachilwa kupanganya masengo ga ŵandumile une ŵala muusi uli chiŵela. Pakuŵa chilo chikwika ni ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kupanganya masengo.
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 Ndili chiŵela mchilambo, uneji ndili lulanga lwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.”
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, ŵasunile mata paasi ŵagumbile litaka ni mata ni kumpakasya pa meeso jwangalola jula.
Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,
7 Nipele ŵansalile jwangalola jula, “Njaule nkasukusule mu litanda lya Siloamu.” Siloamu malumbo gakwe “Ŵaŵalajiswe.” Pelepo jwangalola jo ŵajawile ni kusukusula, nipele ŵausile kumusi ali nkulola.
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 Nipele, ŵapachiŵandi ŵakwe ni aŵala ŵaŵambweni ali nkuŵendaŵenda kundanda ŵaliusisye, “Ana ajuju nganaŵa ajula mundu juŵaŵendaŵendaga?”
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 Ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Ni jwelejo.” Nambo ŵane ŵatite, “Ajuju nganaŵa jwelejo agambile kulandana.” Nambo nsyene ŵatite, “Uneji ndili jujojo junaŵendaŵendaga!”
Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
10 Nipele ŵambusisye, “Sambano iŵele uli nkulola?”
So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?
11 Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Mundu jwakuŵilanjikwa Che Yesu jula ŵagumbile litaka, ŵambakesye pa meeso ni kuusalila, ‘Njaule nkasukusule mu litanda lya Siloamu.’ Pelepo uneji najawile ni panasukusulaga natandite kulola.”
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 Ni ŵambusisye, “Ana mundu jo alikwapi?” Nombejo ŵaajanjile, “Kwaalini!”
And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.
13 Nipele ŵandu ŵanjawisye ajula juŵaliji ngakulola kundanda kwa Mafalisayo.
They took him before the Pharisees — this man who had been blind.
14 Lyuŵa lyo Che Yesu paŵagumbile litaka ni kumbugula meeso jwangalola jula lyaliji Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.
15 Nipele Mafalisayo ŵambusisye ajula mundu juŵaliji ngakulola kundanda, “Ana nkombwele chinauli kulola?” Nombejo ŵajanjile, “Ŵambakesye litaka pa meeso, none nasukuswile ni sambano ngulola.”
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 Mafalisayo ŵane ŵatite, “Mundu jwatesile yeleyi nganatyochela kwa Akunnungu pakuŵa ngakugakamula malajisyo ga Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.” Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Ana mundu jwali ni sambi chakombole kutendekanya imanyisyo mpela ayiyi?” Nipele, kwaliji ni utinda mwa ŵandu wo.
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 Nipele Mafalisayo ŵambusisye sooni juŵaliji ngakulola jula, “Nkuti ambugwile meeso genu, sambano mmwejo nkuŵecheta ichichi nkati mundu jo?” Nombejo ŵajanjile, “Mundu jo ali jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu!”
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 Achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi nganajitichisya kuti mundu jo ŵaliji ngakulola chitandilile kundanda ni sambano akulola, mpaka paŵaaŵilasile achaŵelesi ŵakwe.
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 Ŵausisye, “Ana aju ngati ni mwanagwenu junkuti ŵapagwile ngakulola? Ana sambano akombwele chinauli kulola?”
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 Achaŵelesi ŵakwe ŵajanjile, “Tukwimanyilila kuti ajuju ni mwanagwetu ni tukwimanyilila kuti ŵapagwile jwangalola.
In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:
21 Nambo akombwele chinauli kulola ngatukumanyilila, ni jwantesile akombole kulola nombejo ngatukwamanyilila. Mumbusye nsyene, jwelejo ali jwankule, chaliŵalanje.”
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 Achaŵelesi ŵakwe ŵaŵechete yeleyo ligongo ŵaajogwepe achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi, pakuŵa ŵelewo ŵalangene chile kuti, mundu jwalijose ajitichisyaga kuti Che Yesu ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola chaŵinjikwe mu nyuumba ja kupopelela.
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 Lyelelyo ni ligongo achaŵelesi ŵakwe ŵatite, “Jwelejo ali jwankule, mumbusye nsyene.”
That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.
24 Nipele ŵambilasile kaaŵili juŵapagwile ali ngakulola jula ni kunsalila, “Nnumbile kwa Akunnungu iŵaga nkusala isyene! Uweji tukwimanyilila kuti mundu jwannamisye mmwe ali jwa sambi.”
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 Nombejo ŵajanjile, “Iŵaga mundu ju ali jwa sambi pane nganakola sambi une ngangwimanyilila. Nambo une nguchimanyilila chindu chimo, kuti naliji jwangalola ni sambano ngulola.”
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 Nipele Ŵambusisye sooni, “Ana antesile chichi? Ana agaugwile chinauli meeso genu?”
Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?
27 Mundu jo ŵajanjile, “Nansalile sampano, ni ŵanyamwe nganinsaka kupilikanichisya, kwachichi nkusaka kupilikanila sooni ngani ji? Uli, nombe ŵanyamwe nkusaka kuŵa ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe?”
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 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵantukene achitiji, “Mmwe ndi jwakulijiganya jwa mundu jo, nambo uweji tuli ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Musa.
And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Uweji tuimanyi kuti Akunnungu ŵaŵechete ni che Musa, nambo mundu ju ngatukukumanyilila kwakopochele!”
We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.
30 Nombejo ŵaajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe nkuusimosya! Ŵanyamwe ngankukumanyilila kwakopochele mundu ju, nambo agaugwile meeso gangu!
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 Tukumanyilila kuti Akunnungu ngakwapilikanila ŵandu ŵaali ni sambi, nambo Akunnungu akumpilikanila mundu jwakunchimbichisya ni kupanganya yakusaka.
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 Chitandile gumbikwa chilambo ngapagwa mundu jwapilikene kuti mundu agaugwile meeso ga mundu jwapagwilwe ali ngakulola. (aiōn g165)
In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open. (aiōn g165)
33 Iŵaga mundu ju nganatyochela kwa Akunnungu, ngaakakombole kupanganya chachili chose!”
If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.
34 Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Mmwejo mwapagwilwe ni kukula mu sambi ana nomwe nkusaka kutujiganya uweji?” Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵambinjile mundu jo mu nyuumba ja kupopelela.
Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.
35 Che Yesu ŵapilikene kuti mundu juŵannamisye jula aŵinjikwe pa Nyuumba ja Kupopelela. Nipele paŵansimene ŵambusisye, “Ana mmwejo nkunkulupilila Mwana jwa Mundu?”
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 Mundu jo ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ana ŵelewo ali ŵaani, musalile kuti nakulupilile.”
He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.
37 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Sambano mummweni, nombe ni jwelejo jwakukunguluka nomwe.”
Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.
38 Nipele mundu jo ŵatite, “Ambuje, ngukulupilila!” Ni ŵatindiŵele ni kwakotamila.
And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.
39 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Uneji nyiche pachilambo pano kukwasapulanya ŵandu, kuti ŵangalola akombole kulola, ni ŵakulola aŵeje ŵangalola.”
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 Mafalisayo ŵane ŵaŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu ŵagapilikene maloŵe go, ni ŵambusisye, “Uli, nowe ŵakwe tuli ŵangalola?”
These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?
41 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nkaliji ŵangalola, ngankaŵe ni sambi, nambo sambano ŵanyamwe nkulitenda, ‘Uweji tukulola,’ yelei ikulosya kuti nli mu sambi.”
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.
