John 9
1 Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
A khum phai vaengah a thaang lamkah mik aka dael hlang te a hmuh.
2 and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “Rhabbi, unim aka tholh tih mikdael la a thaang, amah a, a manu napa a?” a ti uh.
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 loh, “Amah moenih, a manu napa khaw a tholh moenih. Tedae anih dongah Pathen kah bisai te a tueng ham dongah ni.
4 While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
Khohnin a om vaengah kai aka tueih kah bi te mamih loh saii ham a kuek. Khoyin ha pawk vaengah saii ham coeng mahpawh.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Diklai ah ka om vaengah, diklai kah vangnah la ka om,” a ti nah.
6 When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.
Hekah he a thui vanneh diklai a timthoih tih timtui neh dikpo a bol. Te phoeiah dikpo te a mik dongah a hluk pah.
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.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Cet lamtah Siloam tuibuem ah sil,” a ti nah. [Te tah a tueih coeng te a thuingaih]. Te dongah cet tih a silh phoeiah miktueng la ha pawk.
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?”
Te dongah imben rhoek neh anih te buhbih ni tila aka hmu noek rhoek loh, “Ngol tih buh aka bih te anih moenih a,” a ti uh.
9 Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
A tloe rhoek loh, “Anih ni,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Moenih, tedae anih phek la om,” a ti uh. Amah loh, “Kai kamah ni,” a ti nah.
10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
Te dongah anih te, “Te koinih na mik te metlam a tueng?” a ti na uh.
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.”
Te long te, “Jesuh la a khue uh hlang pakhat loh dikpo a bol tih kai mik a hluk. Te phoeiah kamah te, ‘Siloam la cet lamtah sil,’ a ti. Te dongah ka cet tih ka silh vaengah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
12 “Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
Te vaengah, “Anih te melam a om,” a ti na uh hatah, “Ka ming pawh,” a ti nah.
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
Hnukbuet kah mikdael te Pharisee rhoek taengah a khuen uh.
14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
Jesuh loh dikpo a bol tih a mik a tueng sak vaengkah khohnin te Sabbath la om.
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.”
Te dongah Pharisee rhoek long khaw metlam a tueng thai tila anih te koep a dawt uh. Te long te amih taengah, “Ka mik ah dikpo a hluk tih ka silh hatah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Pharisee rhoek khuikah hlangvang loh, “Sabbath te a tuem pawt dongah anih te Pathen taeng lamkah hlang moenih,” a ti uh. Tedae a tloe rhoek loh, “Hlang tholh loh hebang miknoek metlam a saii thai eh?” a ti uh tih amamih ah paekboenah la om.
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.
Te dongah mikdael te, “Na mik a tueng sak dongah anih kawng balae na thui eh,” koep a ti na uh hatah, “Anih tah tonghma ni,” a ti nah.
18 The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
Judah rhoek loh anih mikdael la om tih koep tueng tila a tangnah uh pawt dongah mik aka tueng coeng kah a manu napa te luemluem a khue uh.
19 and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
Te phoeiah amih rhoi te a dawt uh tih, “Anih he na capa ni nama? Anih ni mikdael la thaang na ti nama? Te koinih metlam a hmuh tarha?” a ti na uh.
20 His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
Te dongah a manu napa loh a doo rhoi tih, “Anih he ka ca la om tih mikdael la a thaang te ka ming rhoi.
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.”
Tedae metla a tueng tarha khaw ka ming rhoi pawh. A mik aka ong pah te khaw ka ming pawh. Amah te dawt uh a lungcuei coeng. Amah kawng te amah loh a thui bitni,” a ti rhoi.
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 manu napa loh Judah rhoek te a rhih dongah ni te te a thui. Khat khat long ni Khrih te a phoei atah a hael la om saeh tila Judah rhoek loh oepsoeh la a kotluep uh.
23 That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
Te dongah ni a manu napa loh, “A lungcuei coeng amah te dawt uh,” a ti nah rhoi.
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.”
Te dongah mikdael la aka om hlang te a pabae la a khue uh tih, “Anih te hlang tholh ni tila mamih loh m'ming uh dongah Pathen te thangpomnah pae lah,” a ti na uh.
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!”
Te long khaw, “Hlang tholh la a om khaw ka ming pawh. Pakhat ka ming tah mikdael la aka om loh ka hmuh coeng,” a ti nah.
26 “What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
Te dongah amah te, “Na taengah balae a saii? Na mik te metlam a tueng sak?” a ti na uh.
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?”
Amih te, “Nangmih taengah ka thui coeng dae na yaak uh moenih. Ba ham nim koep yaak ham na ngaih uh. Nangmih khaw anih hnukbang la om ham na ngaih uh pawt nim?” a ti nah.
28 Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
Te vaengah anih te ol a bai uh tih, “Namah la anih kah hnukbang la na om, kaimih tah Moses kah hnukbang rhoek ni.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
Pathen loh Moses a voek te ka ming uh. Tedae anih me lamkah a phoe khaw ka ming uh moenih,” a ti na uh.
30 “That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
Tekah hlang loh amih te a doo tih, “A khuet la a om lalah me lamkah ha phoe khaw na ming uh pawt te. Tedae ka mik he n'dai sak coeng.
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
Pathen loh hlangtholh rhoek kah ol te a hnatun moenih. Tedae Pathen aka hinyahkung pakhat te om tih a kongaih a saii atah anih ol a hnatun pah te m'ming.
Mikdael la aka thang khat khat kah mik koep tueng tila khosuen lamkah n'yaak noek moenih. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”
Pathen taeng lamkah anih ha om pawt koinih saii thai loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
34 They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.
Te dongah anih te a doo uh tih, “Nang tholh hoeng la na thaang tih nang loh kaimih nan thuituen van,” a ti na uh phoeiah amah te phawn a vai uh.
35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
Anih phawn poengla a haek uh te Jesuh loh a yaak phoeiah anih te a hmuh tih, “Hlang capa te na tangnah a?” a ti nah.
36 “Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”
Te long te a doo tih, “Boeipa, amah te ta, te vaengah anih te ka tangnah mako?” a ti nah.
37 “You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
Jesuh loh anih te, “Anih te na hmuh tih nang taengah aka cal te anih ni,” a ti nah.
38 “Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
Te dongah, “Boeipa, kan tangnah,” a ti nah tih a bawk.
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.”
Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Laitloeknah ham he diklai la ka pawk coeng. Te daengah ni aka hmu pawt rhoek loh a hmuh vetih aka hmuh loh mikdael la a om eh,” a ti nah.
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
Tekah te a taengkah aka om Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh. Te vaengah amah te, “Kaimih khaw mikdael la ka om uh pawt nim?” a ti na uh.
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 loh, “Mikdael la na om uh koinih tholhnah na khueh uh mahpawh. Tedae tahae ah ka miktueng na ti uh dongah nangmih kah tholhnah te naeh pueng,” a ti nah.
