John 9
1 Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
Jesuh lama a ceh k’um üng, a hmi law üngkhyüh a mik müki khyang mat a hmuh.
2 and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Axüisawe naw, “Saja aw, a mik müa hmiki hin ua mkhyenaka phäha ni? Amäta mkhyenaka phäh aw, a nupaa ani mkhyenaka phäh aw?” ti lü, ami kthäh u.
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.
Jesuh naw, “Amäta mkhyenaka phäh am ni, a nupaa mkhyenaka phäha pi am ni. Ani üng Pamhnama johit khyange naw ami hmuh vaia phäha ni.
4 While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
“A mhnüp ham üng na tüih lawkia khut mi pawh khai. U naw pi khut am a binak theia mthan pha law hlüki.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
“Khawmdeka khana ka vea küt üng khawmdeka kvaia ka kyaki,” ti lü, a jah msang.
6 When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.
Acukba a pyen käna, mdek üng a mci msawh lü, a mci am mdek mthaü lü acun am a mikmüa mik a jut.
7 Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.
A mikmü üng, “Cit lü Silawng Tuili üng va hmaieia,” a ti. (Silawng ti cun “Tüih” tinak ni) Acunüng, cit lü va hmaiei se a mik vai law beki.
8 At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
A impei locenge ja, ahlana täei se hmu khawikie naw, “Hin hin ngaw lü täei khawiki am niki aw?” ami ti.
9 Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
Avang naw, “Acun ni” ami ti. Avang naw, “Acun ta am ni” a tängpüi ni” ami ti. Amät naw, “Kei acun ni” a ti.
10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
Amimi naw, “Na mik ihawkba vai beki?” ami ti.
11 He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”
Ani naw, “Jesuh ami ti naw mdek mthaü lü, ka mik üng jut lü, ‘Silawng Tuilia va cit lü va hmaieia’ ti se, cit lü hmaiei ngü se ka mik vai law beki,” a ti.
12 “Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
“Ani hawia veki ni?” ti lü a mi kthäh üng, ani naw “Am ksing veng” a ti be.
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
A mik mü khawikia khyang cun Phariseea veia ami cehpüi.
14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
Jesuh naw mdek mthaü lü a mik a vaisak bea mhnüp cun Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki.
15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
Pharisee naw, a mik a vai law bea mawng kthäh u se, ani naw, “Lawk am ka mik na nawi se, hmaei lü, ka hmu law be theiki ni,” a ti.
16 Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
Pharise avang naw, “Acuna khyang naw Sabbath am a jeiha phäha, Pamhnama üngkhyüh lawki ta am ni khü vai,” ami ti. Avang naw, “Khyangka naw ihawkba hina mäih müncanksee jah pawh khawh khai aw?” ami ti. Phariseea ksunga ngtainak ve lawki.
17 So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.
Acun käna, amikmü üng, “Na mik a vaisak bea phäha, nang naw ihawkba ani na ngaiki ni?” ti u lü, ami kthäh betü üng, “Ani cun Sahma ni” a ti.
18 The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
Judah ngvaie naw, a mik vai law bekia nu ja pa, am ami jah khü ham veia, amikmü khawiki vai law beki ni tia mawng am kcang na u.
19 and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
A nu ja a paa üng, “Hin hin nami ca, amikmüa hmi lawki nami ti khawi am niki aw? Ihawkba atuh hmu law be theiki ni?” ti u lü, ami jah kthäh.
20 His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
A nu ja pa naw, “Hin kami ca ti kami ksingki, amikmüa hmi lawki ti pi kami ksing.
21 But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”
Cunsepi, ihawkba atuh hmu law beki ti am kani ksingki, hmuhsak beki pi am ksing ve ning. Amät kthäh ua; khyang teh lawki; amäta mawng cun amät naw pyen se,” ti ni lü, ani jah msang.
22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
A nu ja pa naw Judah ngvaie ami jah kyüha phäha acukba ani pyena kyaki. Am acun ham üng pi, “Ani cun Mesijah ni” tiki naküt cun sinakok üngkhyüh ksät vaia ami mkhyäp thüpthüpa kyaki.
23 That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
Acunakyase, a nu ja pa naw, “Khyang teh lawki, amät kthäh ua” ani tia kyaki.
24 So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
Anghngihnaka amikmüa hmi lawki cun khü betü u lü, “Pamhnama veia akcang ka pyen khai tia sitih taa, nang ning mdaw beki cun khyangka ti kami ksingki ni,” ami ti.
25 He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”
Ani naw, “Khyangka a ni ja am a ni am ksing nawng. Mat ka ksing cun ahlana ka mik mü khawiki, tuh ka hmu law beki,” ti lü, a jah msang.
26 “What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
Amimi naw, “Na khana i ja a pawh? Na mik ihawkba ja a vaisak be?” ti lü, ami kthäh.
27 He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
Ani naw, “Cükta üng ka ning jah mtheh päng, am nami na ngai hlüki. Ise nami ngja hlü betükie ni? Nangmi pi axüisaw hea nami thawn hngaa nami yüki aw?” ti lü, a jah msang.
28 Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
Amimi naw ksekha na u lü, “Nang hin ania xüisawa na kyaki ni, keimi ta Mosia axüisaw he ni.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
“Pamhnam naw Mosi ngthuhei püiki ti kami ksingki, cunüngpi Jesuh hawia ka naw lawki ti am ksing u nawng,” ami ti.
30 “That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
“Ani naw ka mik vaisak be kyaw sepi, ani hawia khyüh lawki ti am nami ksing hin müncankse ni.
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
“Pamhnam naw khyangkaa ngthu am ngai khawiki ti mi ksingki. Acunsepi, au naw pi Pamhnam mhläkphya na lü a ngjakhlü a pawh üng Pamhnam naw ngaih pet khawiki.
“Khawmdek a ngtüi üngkhyüh, a mikmüa hmi lawki vaisak be ve u, tia u naw am mi ngja khawi. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”
“Hin hin Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawki am a ni ta, i am pawh khawh,” ti lü, a jah msang.
34 They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.
Amimi naw, “Na hmi law üng, mkhyenake am hmi law lü, na jah mthei lawki aw?” ti u lü, msangkie naw, Sinakok üngka naw ami ksät u.
35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
Ksätkie ti Jesuh naw ksing lü hmuki naw, “Khyanga Capa na jumki aw?” ti lü a kthäh.
36 “Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”
Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, ka jum law vaia, ani u ni na mtheha?” a ti.
37 “You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
Jesuh naw, “Ani na hmu päng ni, atuh ning ngthuheipüiki hin ani ni,” a ti.
38 “Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, jum veng,” ti lü, Jesuh hjawkhahki.
39 Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
Jesuh naw, “Ngthumkhyah khaia hina khawmdek khana ka lawki, amikmüea mik vai be lü, a mik kvaiea mik a münak vaia ka lawki ni,” a ti.
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
Ahlawnga vekia Pharisee naw, acun ngja u lü, “Keimi pi kami mik mü hngaki aw?” ti lü, ami kthäh u.
41 “If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
Jesuh naw, “Nami mik a mü üng mkhyenak am ta uki. Acunsepi, atuh ‘Kami mik vaiki’ nami tia phäh nami mkhyekatki” a ti.
