Yohana 9
1 Che Yesu paŵapitaga, ŵambweni mundu jwangalola chitandile kupagwa kwakwe.
AND as he passed along, he saw a man blind from his 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 inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
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 answered, Neither hath this man been in fault, nor his parents; but it is in order to make manifest the works of God in him.
4 Tukusachilwa kupanganya masengo ga ŵandumile une ŵala muusi uli chiŵela. Pakuŵa chilo chikwika ni ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kupanganya masengo.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
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.
So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man;
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, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing.
8 Nipele, ŵapachiŵandi ŵakwe ni aŵala ŵaŵambweni ali nkuŵendaŵenda kundanda ŵaliusisye, “Ana ajuju nganaŵa ajula mundu juŵaŵendaŵendaga?”
The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging?
9 Ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Ni jwelejo.” Nambo ŵane ŵatite, “Ajuju nganaŵa jwelejo agambile kulandana.” Nambo nsyene ŵatite, “Uneji ndili jujojo junaŵendaŵendaga!”
Some said, That this is he: but others, That he is like him: he himself said, I am he.
10 Nipele ŵambusisye, “Sambano iŵele uli nkulola?”
When said they to him, How were thine eyes opened?
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.”
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: then I went, and washing received sight.
12 Ni ŵambusisye, “Ana mundu jo alikwapi?” Nombejo ŵaajanjile, “Kwaalini!”
They said to him, Where is he? He replied, I know not.
13 Nipele ŵandu ŵanjawisye ajula juŵaliji ngakulola kundanda kwa Mafalisayo.
They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.
14 Lyuŵa lyo Che Yesu paŵagumbile litaka ni kumbugula meeso jwangalola jula lyaliji Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
(Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.)
15 Nipele Mafalisayo ŵambusisye ajula mundu juŵaliji ngakulola kundanda, “Ana nkombwele chinauli kulola?” Nombejo ŵajanjile, “Ŵambakesye litaka pa meeso, none nasukuswile ni sambano ngulola.”
The Pharisees therefore questioned him again, How he had received sight? And he told them, He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and do 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 said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he observeth not the sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a wicked man to do such miracles? And 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!”
They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him? that he opened thine eyes? Then he replied, That he is a prophet.
18 Achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi nganajitichisya kuti mundu jo ŵaliji ngakulola chitandilile kundanda ni sambano akulola, mpaka paŵaaŵilasile achaŵelesi ŵakwe.
Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received sight.
19 Ŵausisye, “Ana aju ngati ni mwanagwenu junkuti ŵapagwile ngakulola? Ana sambano akombwele chinauli kulola?”
And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 Achaŵelesi ŵakwe ŵajanjile, “Tukwimanyilila kuti ajuju ni mwanagwetu ni tukwimanyilila kuti ŵapagwile jwangalola.
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 Nambo akombwele chinauli kulola ngatukumanyilila, ni jwantesile akombole kulola nombejo ngatukwamanyilila. Mumbusye nsyene, jwelejo ali jwankule, chaliŵalanje.”
but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.
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.
So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.
23 Lyelelyo ni ligongo achaŵelesi ŵakwe ŵatite, “Jwelejo ali jwankule, mumbusye nsyene.”
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask 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.”
The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know 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.”
Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Nipele Ŵambusisye sooni, “Ana antesile chichi? Ana agaugwile chinauli meeso genu?”
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves?
27 Mundu jo ŵajanjile, “Nansalile sampano, ni ŵanyamwe nganinsaka kupilikanichisya, kwachichi nkusaka kupilikanila sooni ngani ji? Uli, nombe ŵanyamwe nkusaka kuŵa ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe?”
He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples?
28 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵantukene achitiji, “Mmwe ndi jwakulijiganya jwa mundu jo, nambo uweji tuli ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Musa.
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 Uweji tuimanyi kuti Akunnungu ŵaŵechete ni che Musa, nambo mundu ju ngatukukumanyilila kwakopochele!”
We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is.
30 Nombejo ŵaajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe nkuusimosya! Ŵanyamwe ngankukumanyilila kwakopochele mundu ju, nambo agaugwile meeso gangu!
The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes.
31 Tukumanyilila kuti Akunnungu ngakwapilikanila ŵandu ŵaali ni sambi, nambo Akunnungu akumpilikanila mundu jwakunchimbichisya ni kupanganya yakusaka.
Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32 Chitandile gumbikwa chilambo ngapagwa mundu jwapilikene kuti mundu agaugwile meeso ga mundu jwapagwilwe ali ngakulola. (aiōn g165)
From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Iŵaga mundu ju nganatyochela kwa Akunnungu, ngaakakombole kupanganya chachili chose!”
If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing.
34 Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Mmwejo mwapagwilwe ni kukula mu sambi ana nomwe nkusaka kutujiganya uweji?” Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵambinjile mundu jo mu nyuumba ja kupopelela.
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Che Yesu ŵapilikene kuti mundu juŵannamisye jula aŵinjikwe pa Nyuumba ja Kupopelela. Nipele paŵansimene ŵambusisye, “Ana mmwejo nkunkulupilila Mwana jwa Mundu?”
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?
36 Mundu jo ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ana ŵelewo ali ŵaani, musalile kuti nakulupilile.”
The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him?
37 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Sambano mummweni, nombe ni jwelejo jwakukunguluka nomwe.”
Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person.
38 Nipele mundu jo ŵatite, “Ambuje, ngukulupilila!” Ni ŵatindiŵele ni kwakotamila.
Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.
39 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Uneji nyiche pachilambo pano kukwasapulanya ŵandu, kuti ŵangalola akombole kulola, ni ŵakulola aŵeje ŵangalola.”
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind.
40 Mafalisayo ŵane ŵaŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu ŵagapilikene maloŵe go, ni ŵambusisye, “Uli, nowe ŵakwe tuli ŵangalola?”
And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, Are we blind also?
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 ye were blind, ye should not have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent.
