John 9
1 And when he went on his way, he saw a man blind from birth.
Wakati achipfuura, akaona munhu bofu kubva pakuberekwa.
2 And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?
Vadzidzi vake ndokumubvunza, vachiti: Rabhi, ndiani wakatadza, uyu kana vabereki vake, kuti aberekwe ari bofu?
3 Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.
Jesu akapindura akati: Uyu haana kutadza, kana vabereki vake; asi kuti mabasa aMwari aoneswe maari.
4 While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.
Ndinofanira kushanda mabasa ewakandituma achiri masikati; usiku hunouya, apo pasina munhu angagona kushanda.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Kana ndichiri panyika, ndiri chiedza chenyika.
6 Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,
Wakati areva izvi, akapfira pasi, akaita dope nemate, akazodza dope pameso ebofu,
7 And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.
akati kwaari: Enda unoshamba mudziva reSiroami (zvinoshandurwa kuti: Wakatumwa). Naizvozvo wakaenda akashamba, akadzoka achiona.
8 Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?
Naizvozvo vavakidzani nevaimuona pakutanga kuti wakange ari bofu, vakati: Haasi iye uyu waigara achipemha here?
9 Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
Vamwe vakati: Uyu ndiye; asi vamwe vakati: Wakaita saiye. Iye akati: Ndini.
10 So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Meso ako akazarurwa sei?
11 His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.
Akapindura izvo akati: Munhu anonzi Jesu wakaita dope, akazodza meso angu, akati kwandiri: Enda kudziva reSiroami unoshamba. Zvino ndikaenda ndikashamba, ndikaonazve.
12 And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Iye aripi? Akati: Handizivi.
13 They took him before the Pharisees — this man who had been blind.
Vakamuisa kuVaFarisi, iye waimbova bofu.
14 Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.
Zvino raiva sabata apo Jesu akaita dope, akasvinudza meso ake.
15 So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.
Naizvozvo zvekare VaFarisi vakamubvunzawo, kuti wakaonazve sei. Akati kwavari: Waisa dope pameso angu ndikashamba, ndava kuona.
16 Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.
Naizvozvo vamwe veVaFarisi vakati: Munhu uyu haabvi kuna Mwari, nokuti haachengeti sabata. Vamwe vakati: Munhu ari mutadzi angaita sei zviratidzo zvakadai? Kukava nekupesana pakati pavo.
17 Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
Vakatizve kubofu: Iwe unoti kudini pamusoro pake, sezvo asvinudza meso ako? Akati: Muporofita.
18 Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,
Zvino VaJudha havana kutenda pamusoro pake, kuti wakange ari bofu, akaonazve, kusvikira vadana vabereki vewakaonazve,
19 And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?
zvino vakavabvunza, vachiti: Uyu mwanakomana wenyu imwi wamunoti wakaberekwa ari bofu here? Naizvozvo ikozvino woona sei?
20 In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:
Vabereki vake vakavapindura vakati: Tinoziva kuti uyu mwanakomana wedu, uye kuti wakaberekwa ari bofu;
21 But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.
asi kuti ikozvino woona sei, hatizivi; kana ndiani wasvinudza meso ake, isu hatizivi; iye wayaruka, mubvunzei, iye pachake achazvitaurira.
22 They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.
Vabereki vake vakareva izvi, nokuti vaitya VaJudha; nokuti VaJudha vakange vatotenderana kuti kana ani nani anobvuma kuti ndiye Kristu, abudiswe musinagoge.
23 That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.
Naizvozvo vabereki vake vakati: Wayaruka, mubvunzei.
24 So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.
Naizvozvo vakadana rwechipiri uyo munhu wakange ari bofu, vakati kwaari: Ipa Mwari rumbidzo; isu tinoziva kuti munhu uyu mutadzi.
25 He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.
Naizvozvo iye akapindura achiti: Kana ari mutadzi handizivi; chinhu chimwe chandinoziva, kuti ndaiva bofu, ikozvino ndoona.
26 Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?
Zvino vakati kwaarizve: Wakaitei kwauri? Wakasvinudza meso ako sei?
27 His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?
Akavapindura, akati: Ndadokuudzai, asi hamuna kunzwa, munodirei kunzwa zvekare? Nemwi munoda kuva vadzidzi vake kanhi?
28 And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Naizvozvo vakamutuka, vakati: Ndiwe mudzidzi wake; asi isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi.
29 We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.
Isu tinoziva kuti Mwari wakataura kuna Mozisi; asi uyu hatizivi kwaanobva.
30 The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.
Munhu akapindura akati kwavari: Nokuti pachinhu ichi pane chinoshamisa, kuti imwi hamuzivi kwaanobva, asi wasvinudza meso angu.
31 We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.
Zvino tinoziva kuti Mwari haanzwi vatadzi; asi kana munhu ari mushumiri waMwari, achiita chido chake, uyu anomunzwa.
32 In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open. (aiōn g165)
Kubvira rinhi hakuna kumbonzwika kuti umwe wakasvinudza meso ewakaberekwa ari bofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.
Dai uyu anga asingabvi kuna Mwari, haasaigona kuita chinhu.
34 Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.
Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Iwe zvachese wakaberekerwa muzvivi, zvino iwe wotidzidzisa here? Vakamudzingira kunze.
35 It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?
Jesu akanzwa kuti vamudzingira kunze; akati amuwana, akati kwaari: Iwe unotenda kuMwanakomana waMwari here?
36 He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.
Iye akapindura akati: Ndiani, Ishe, kuti nditende kwaari?
37 Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.
Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Newe wamuona, uye anotaura newe, ndiye.
38 And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.
Zvino akati: Ishe ndinotenda; akamunamata.
39 And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.
Jesu ndokuti: Kutonga ndiko ini kwandakauira panyika ino, kuti vasingaoni vaone; nevanoona vave mapofu.
40 These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?
Uye avo veVaFarisi vaiva naye vakanzwa zvinhu izvi, vakati kwaari: Nesu tiri mapofu here?
41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.
Jesu akati kwavari: Dai maiva mapofu, mungadai musina chivi. Asi ikozvino munoti: Tinoona; naizvozvo chivi chenyu chinogara.
