Johana 9
1 Kane oyudo owuotho odhi, noneno ngʼat moro mane osebedo muofu nyaka aa nywolne.
Now as he was passing along he saw a man, blind from birth.
2 Jopuonjre nopenje niya, “Rabi, en ngʼa ma notimo richo; ngʼatni koso jonywolne, momiyo nonywole muofu?”
"Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Ngʼatni kata jonywolne ne ok otimo richo, to ma notimore mondo teko mar Nyasaye onenre e changne.
"Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might 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 that sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Ka pod an e piny, to an e ler mar piny.”
"While 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 thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and smeared the clay on the man’s 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.
Then he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (a word which means "sent"). So the man went and washed his eyes, and came back seeing.
8 Jogwengʼ-gi gi joma nosenene motelo kokwecho nopenjo niya, “Donge ma e ngʼat mosebedo kakwechocha?”
Upon this the neighbors and those who used to know him by sight as a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"
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.”
Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he looks like him." "I am the man," he said.
10 Negimedo penje niya, “Ka en kamano, to wengeni nokelo yawore nade?”
So they asked him, "How then 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 answered. "The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went and washed and received my sight."
12 Negipenje niya, “Ere ngʼatno?” To nodwokogi niya, “Ok angʼeyo kuma entiere.”
"Where is he?" they asked. "I do not know," answered the man.
13 Ne gitero ngʼat machon ne muofuno ir jo-Farisai.
Then they brought the man 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 on the Sabbath that Jesus had made 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.”
so the Pharisees again began to ask him questions about how he had regained his sight; and he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now 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.
Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"
17 Eka negichako gidonjore gi muofuno, mi gipenje niya, “In manende ochangi, to iwacho angʼo kuome?” Ngʼatno nodwokogi niya, “En janabi.”
So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.
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.
The Jews, however, did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man whose sight had been restored,
19 Ne gipenjogi niya, “Bende ngʼatni e wuodu ma uwacho ni nonywol muofu? Obet nade ni koro onyalo neno?”
and questioned them. "Is this your son," they said, "who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 Jonywolgo nodwokogi niya, “Wangʼeyo ni ma en wuodwa, kendo wangʼeyo ni nonywole muofu.
Then in reply his parents 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 he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who has opened his eyes. Ask him, himself. He is of age. He will 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.
This his parents said because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess that he was the Christ, he should be expelled from the synagogue.
23 Mano emomiyo jonywolne nowacho niya, “Tinde oduongʼ, penjeuru.”
It was because this that his parents said. "He is of age. Ask him, himself."
24 Negichako giluongo ngʼat ma nonywol ka en muofuno mi gikone niya, “Wach adier e nyim Nyasaye! Wan wangʼeyo ni ngʼatni en jaricho.”
So the Jews a second time summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him.
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!”
"Give glory to God! we know that this man is a sinner." Upon this the blind man answered. "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that once I was blind, and know I can see."
26 Eka negipenje niya, “Angʼo ma notimoni ma wangʼi oneno? Ere kaka noyawo wengeni?”
"What was it he did to you?" they asked him; "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. "I have told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear it again? Can it be that you, too, wish to become his disciples?"
28 Kuom mano, ne giyanye mangʼeny kagiwacho niya, “In e japuonjrene! Wan to wan jopuonjre Musa.
Then they stormed at him. "You are his disciple. We are Moses’ disciples.
29 Wangʼeyo ni Nyasaye nowuoyo gi Musa, to ngʼatni to wakia kata mana kuma oaye.”
"We know that God spoke to Moses. But this fellow! We do not know where he comes from."
30 Ngʼatno nodwokogi niya, “Mano en wach miwuoro! Ukia kuma oaye to en ema noyawo wengena?
"This is truly astonishing," said the man in reply, "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.
"We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God- fearing and does his will, to such he listens.
"Since the beginning of the world such a thing as opening the eyes of one who was born blind was never heard of. (aiōn g165)
33 Ka dine bed ni ngʼatni ok noa kuom Nyasaye, to ok dine otimo gimoro.”
"If this man had not come of God he could have done nothing."
34 Omiyo negidwoke niya, “In nonywoli e chuny richo, koro ere kaka inyalo bukori ni ipuonjowa!” Bangʼ mano negiriembe oko.
They answered, "You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then 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, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"
36 Ngʼatno nopenjo niya, “Jaduongʼ, Wuod Dhano to en ngʼa? Nyisago mondo ayie kuome.”
"Who is he, Sir," he replied, "that I may believe on him."
37 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Eri koro isenene; kendo en ema owuoyo kodini.”
"You have already seen him," Jesus answered, "and it is he who now speaks to you."
38 Ngʼatno nowachone niya, “Ruoth, ayie,” kendo nolame.
"I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,
39 Eka Yesu nowacho niya, “Asebiro e piny mondo angʼadne bura, mondo joma muofni onen, to joma neno olokre muofni.”
"For judgment am I come into the world, to make the sightless see, and to make the seeing blind."
40 Jo-Farisai moko mane ni kode nowinje kowacho kamano mi openje niya, “Iwacho angʼono? Kare wan bende wan muofni?”
Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked, "We are not blind, are we?"
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.”
"If you were blind," Jesus answered them, "you would have no sin. But now you are declaring, ‘We see’; so your sin remains.
