Johana 9
1 Kane oyudo owuotho odhi, noneno ngʼat moro mane osebedo muofu nyaka aa nywolne.
And Jesus, while passing by, saw a man blind from birth.
2 Jopuonjre nopenje niya, “Rabi, en ngʼa ma notimo richo; ngʼatni koso jonywolne, momiyo nonywole muofu?”
And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”
3 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Ngʼatni kata jonywolne ne ok otimo richo, to ma notimore mondo teko mar Nyasaye onenre e changne.
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 Nyaka wati tije mag Jal mane oora ka pod piny odiechiengʼ, nikech otieno biro maonge ngʼama nyalo tiyo.
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 Ka pod an e piny, to an e ler mar piny.”
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Kane osewacho kamano, nongʼudho olawo piny, mi olosogo chwodho, kaeto oketo e wangʼ ngʼatno.
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 Eka nowachone ngʼatno niya, “Dhiyo ilwok wangʼi e yawo mar Siloam” (tiende ni “Ote”). Omiyo ngʼatno nodhi moluoko wangʼe, kendo noduogo dala koneno.
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 Jogwengʼ-gi gi joma nosenene motelo kokwecho nopenjo niya, “Donge ma e ngʼat mosebedo kakwechocha?”
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 Jomoko kuomgi nowacho ni mano en. Ji mamoko to nowacho niya, “Ooyo, ngʼatni chal mana kode.” Ngʼatno owuon to nowacho koramo niya, “En mana an.”
But others said, “Certainly not, but he is similar to him.” Yet truly, he himself said, “I am he.”
10 Negimedo penje niya, “Ka en kamano, to wengeni nokelo yawore nade?”
Therefore, they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 Nodwokogi niya, “Ngʼat miluongo ni Yesu noloso chwodho moro bangʼe oketo chwodhono e wengena. Nonyisa ni adhi Siloam aluok wangʼa, kendo ne adhi mi aluoko wangʼa, bangʼe ne aneno.”
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 Negipenje niya, “Ere ngʼatno?” To nodwokogi niya, “Ok angʼeyo kuma entiere.”
And they said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 Ne gitero ngʼat machon ne muofuno ir jo-Farisai.
They brought the one who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 To chiengʼ mane Yesu olose chwodho kendo ochango wangʼ muofuno ne en chiengʼ Sabato.
Now it was the Sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 Omiyo jo-Farisai nopenje kaka nokelo neno. To ngʼatno nodwokogi niya, “Nende oketo chwodho e wengena, bangʼe aluoko mi koro aneno.”
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 Moko kuom jo-Farisaigo nowacho niya, “Ngʼatni ok oa kuom Nyasaye, nimar ok orito Sabato.” Ji mamoko to nopenjo niya, “Ere kaka ngʼama jaricho nyalo timo tim hono machal kama?” Omiyo ne gipogore e kindgi giwegi.
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 Eka negichako gidonjore gi muofuno, mi gipenje niya, “In manende ochangi, to iwacho angʼo kuome?” Ngʼatno nodwokogi niya, “En janabi.”
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 To jo-Yahudi ne pod ok oyie ni ngʼatni nonywol ka en muofu, kendo ni wengene noseyawore, nyaka negioro wach mondo oluong jonywol ngʼatno.
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 Ne gipenjogi niya, “Bende ngʼatni e wuodu ma uwacho ni nonywol muofu? Obet nade ni koro onyalo neno?”
And they questioned them, saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how is it that he now sees?”
20 Jonywolgo nodwokogi niya, “Wangʼeyo ni ma en wuodwa, kendo wangʼeyo ni nonywole muofu.
His parents responded to them and said: “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21 To kaka koro onyalo neno sani, kata ngʼama noyawo wengene, to wakia. Penjeuru, tinde oduongʼ. Obiro wacho wach kuome owuon.”
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 Jonywolne nowacho kamano nikech negiluoro jo-Yahudi, nimar noyudo jo-Yahudi osengʼado wach ni ngʼato angʼata ma nohul ni Yesu en Kristo ne ibiro riembi e sinagogi.
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 Mano emomiyo jonywolne nowacho niya, “Tinde oduongʼ, penjeuru.”
It was for this reason that his parents said: “He is old enough. Ask him.”
24 Negichako giluongo ngʼat ma nonywol ka en muofuno mi gikone niya, “Wach adier e nyim Nyasaye! Wan wangʼeyo ni ngʼatni en jaricho.”
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 Nodwokogi niya, “An akia kata ka en jaricho kata ka ok en. Gimoro achiel kende ema angʼeyo: Ni chon ne an muofu, to sani koro aneno!”
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 Eka negipenje niya, “Angʼo ma notimoni ma wangʼi oneno? Ere kaka noyawo wengeni?”
Then they said to him: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 Nodwokogi niya, “Donge ne asenyisou, to ok uyie. Udwaro winje kendo nangʼo? Koso un bende udwaro doko jopuonjrene?”
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 Kuom mano, ne giyanye mangʼeny kagiwacho niya, “In e japuonjrene! Wan to wan jopuonjre Musa.
Therefore, they cursed him and said: “You be his disciple. But we are disciples of Moses.
29 Wangʼeyo ni Nyasaye nowuoyo gi Musa, to ngʼatni to wakia kata mana kuma oaye.”
We know that God spoke to Moses. But this man, we do not know where he is from.”
30 Ngʼatno nodwokogi niya, “Mano en wach miwuoro! Ukia kuma oaye to en ema noyawo wengena?
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 Wangʼeyo ni Nyasaye ok winj jaricho. Owinjo mana ngʼatno matimo dwarone.
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.
From ancient times, it has not been heard that anyone has opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Ka dine bed ni ngʼatni ok noa kuom Nyasaye, to ok dine otimo gimoro.”
Unless this man were of God, he would not be able to do any such thing.”
34 Omiyo negidwoke niya, “In nonywoli e chuny richo, koro ere kaka inyalo bukori ni ipuonjowa!” Bangʼ mano negiriembe oko.
They responded and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you would teach us?” And they cast him out.
35 Yesu nowinjo ni ne oseriemb ngʼatno oko, omiyo kane oyude, nopenje niya, “Bende iyie kuom Wuod Dhano?”
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 Ngʼatno nopenjo niya, “Jaduongʼ, Wuod Dhano to en ngʼa? Nyisago mondo ayie kuome.”
He responded and said, “Who is he, Lord, so that I may believe in him?”
37 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Eri koro isenene; kendo en ema owuoyo kodini.”
And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.”
38 Ngʼatno nowachone niya, “Ruoth, ayie,” kendo nolame.
And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And falling prostrate, he worshipped him.
39 Eka Yesu nowacho niya, “Asebiro e piny mondo angʼadne bura, mondo joma muofni onen, to joma neno olokre muofni.”
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 Jo-Farisai moko mane ni kode nowinje kowacho kamano mi openje niya, “Iwacho angʼono? Kare wan bende wan muofni?”
And certain Pharisees, who were with him, heard this, and they said to him, “Are we also blind?”
41 Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Ka dine bed ni un muofni, to dine ok ubedo joketho nikech richo; to nikech uketoru ni uneno, koro kethou osiko.”
Jesus said to them: “If you were blind, you would not have sin. Yet now you say, ‘We see.’ So your sin persists.”
