John 9
1 Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
Yesu peavili mukuhamba ndi amuwene mundu mmonga mweavingalola kuhumila kuvelekewa.
2 and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Vawuliwa vaki vakamkota, “Muwula, yani mweambudili Chapanga, mundu uyu amala dadi na nyina vaki, hati avelekiwi ngalola?”
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.
Yesu akavayangula, “Mwene amala dadi na nyina waki avi lepi mweambudili Chapanga. Avelikiwi ngalola, muni makakala ga Chapanga gawonekanayi gihenga lihengu muwumi waki.
4 While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
Kwakona muhi yikutigana kuhenga lihengu laki yula mweanitumili. Muni kimihi yibwela mundu nakuhotola kuhenga lihengu.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Lukumbi penivii pamulima nene ndi lumuli lwa vandu va mulima.”
6 When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.
Peamali kujova genago, Yesu akahunya mata pahi, akakandagana ludaka na kumnyala ngalola yula mumihu.
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.
Akamjovela, “Hamba ukajisambisa kulitanda la Siloamu.” Liina lenilo mana yaki ndi mweatumwili. Penapo, ngalola yula akahamba akajisambisa, akawuya kuni ilola.
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?”
Hinu, vandu vevatama naku papipi vevammanyili kuvya avi mngangu myupaji, vakajova, “Wu, mwenuyu lepi ngalola mweatamayi na kuyupa?”
9 Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
Vamahele vakajova, “Ena.” Vangi vakajova “Lepi, ndi iwanana naku.” Nambu ngalola yula akajova, “Ndi nene mwenayupayi.”
10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
Ndi vakamkota, “Wu, hinu mihu gaku uhotwili kulola?”
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.”
Mwene akavayangula, “Mundu yula mweikemelewa Yesu akandagini ludaka, na kuninyala pamihu, akanijovela. Uhamba ukajisanja pamihu ku litanda la Siloamu. Nene nikahamba kujisanja na hinu nihotola kulola.”
12 “Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
Vakamkota, “Avi koki?” Mwene akavayangula, “Nene nimanyili lepi.”
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
Kangi vampeliki mundu yula mweavili hoti ngalola kwa Vafalisayu.
14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
Ligono Yesu peakandagini ludaka na kumdindula mihu yavili Ligono la Kupumulila.
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.”
Vafalisayu vakamkota kavili, “Uhotwili wuli kulola?” Mwene akavajovela, “Aninyalili ludaka pamihu, ndi nene najisambisi na hinu nilola.”
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.
Vafalisayu vangi vakajova, “Mundu mwenuyu ahumili lepi kwa Chapanga, muni ikamula lepi Ligono la Kupumulila.” Nambu vangi vakajova, “Ihotola wuli kuhenga gachinamtiti ngati genaga?” Pakavya na mpechenganu pagati yavi.
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.
Vakamkota kavili, “Veve wijova wuli kumvala mwene?” “Ndava akudindwili mihu?” Akavayangula, “Mwenuyo ndi mlota wa Chapanga!”
18 The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
Vachilongosi va Vayawudi nakusadika ngati mundu yula avi ngalola kadeni na hinu ilola, mbaka pavavakemili dadi na nyina waki.
19 and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
Vakavakota dadi na nyina waki, “Wu, mwenuyu ndi mwana winu? Ndi mwemwijova avelekiwi ngalola? Kangi ahotwili wuli kulola?”
20 His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
Vene vakayangula, “Timmanyili kuvya uyu ndi mwana witu, na avelikwi ngalola.
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.”
Nambu timanyi lepi cheahotwili kulola, mewa timmanyi lepi mweamdindwili mihu. Mumkota mwene, muni mundu mvaha ihotola kudandaula mwene.”
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.
Dadi na nyina waki vagajovili genago ndava ya kuvayogopa vachilongosi va Vayawudi muni vamali kuyidikilana kuvya mundu mweiyidakila na kujova kuvya Kilisitu ndi Msangula yati ivingiwa awuka munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.
23 That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
Ndava ya genago ndi dadi na nyina waki vajovili, “Mwene mundu mvaha ndi mumkota mwene.”
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.”
Vakamkemela kavili mundu yula mweavelikwi ngalola, vakamjovela, “Lapa palongolo ya Chapanga. Tete timanyili kuvya mundu uyu akumbudila Chapanga.”
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!”
Mwene akayangula, “Nene nimanyi lepi ngati akumbudila Chapanga. Nambu nimanyili chindu chimonga. Navi ngalola hinu nilola.”
26 “What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
Ndi vakamkota, “Akuhengili kyani? Akulamisi wuli mihu gaku?”
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?”
Mundu yula akavayangula, “Nimali kuvajovela, nyenye mniyuwana lepi, ndava kyani mwigana kuyuwana kavili? Wu, na nyenye mewa mwigana kuvya vawuliwa vaki?”
28 Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
Hinu vakamuliga na kumjovela, “Veve ndi muwuliwa wa mundu yula, nambu tete tavawuliwa va Musa.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
Tete timanyili kuvya Chapanga alongili na Musa, nambu nakummanya mundu uyu ahumili koki!”
30 “That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
Mwene akavayangula, “Chenichi ndi chindu cha kukangasa! Nyenye mwangamanya kweahumili, nambu anidindwili mihu gangu!
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
Timanyili kuvya Chapanga akuvayuwanila lepi vevakumbudila mwene, nambu akumyuwanila mundu yoyoha mweakumyogopa Chapanga na kuhenga geigana.
Kutumbula mulima pewawumbiwi yiyuwaniki lepi kuvya mundu agadindwili mihu ga mundu mweavelekiwi ngalola. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”
Ngati mundu mwenuyu nakuhuma kwa Chapanga ngaahotwili lepi kuhenga chochoha!”
34 They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.
Vene vakamyangula, Mwe! “Veve uvelekiwi na kukula mukumbudisa Chapanga, wihotola wuli kutiwula tete?” Hinu vakamuwusa munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.
35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
Yesu ayuwini kuvya vamuwusili munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi. Hinu pevamuwene akamkota, “Wu, veve ukumsadika Mwana wa Mundu?”
36 “Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”
Mundu yula akamyangula, “Mtopeswa unijovela mundu mwenuyo ndi yani, muni nimsadikayi.”
37 “You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
Yesu akamjovela, “Umali kumuwona, mwene mweujova nayu ndi mwene.”
38 “Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
Mundu yula akajova, “Bambu nisadika!” Ndi akamfugamila.
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.”
Yesu akajova, “Nene nibwelili pamulima kuvabagula vandu, muni vangalola vahotola kulola, na vevilola vavyai vangalola.”
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
Vafalisayu vangi vevavi pamonga naku vagayuwini genago, vakamkota, “Wu, na tete mewa vangalola?”
41 “If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
Yesu akavayangula, “Ngati mwavi vangalola, ngamvalangiwi lepi mumbudili Chapanga nambu nyenye mwijova, tete tilola hinu yilangisa kuvya nyenye mbudili.”
