John 9
1 And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.
Wakati achipfuura, akaona munhu bofu kubva pakuberekwa.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?
Vadzidzi vake ndokumubvunza, vachiti: Rabhi, ndiani wakatadza, uyu kana vabereki vake, kuti aberekwe ari bofu?
3 Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.
Jesu akapindura akati: Uyu haana kutadza, kana vabereki vake; asi kuti mabasa aMwari aoneswe maari.
4 I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work.
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 things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.
Wakati areva izvi, akapfira pasi, akaita dope nemate, akazodza dope pameso ebofu,
7 And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.
akati kwaari: Enda unoshamba mudziva reSiroami (zvinoshandurwa kuti: Wakatumwa). Naizvozvo wakaenda akashamba, akadzoka achiona.
8 The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?
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, It is I.
Vamwe vakati: Uyu ndiye; asi vamwe vakati: Wakaita saiye. Iye akati: Ndini.
10 They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Meso ako akazarurwa sei?
11 He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.
Akapindura izvo akati: Munhu anonzi Jesu wakaita dope, akazodza meso angu, akati kwandiri: Enda kudziva reSiroami unoshamba. Zvino ndikaenda ndikashamba, ndikaonazve.
12 They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Iye aripi? Akati: Handizivi.
13 They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.
Vakamuisa kuVaFarisi, iye waimbova bofu.
14 Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Zvino raiva sabata apo Jesu akaita dope, akasvinudza meso ake.
15 The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.
Naizvozvo zvekare VaFarisi vakamubvunzawo, kuti wakaonazve sei. Akati kwavari: Waisa dope pameso angu ndikashamba, ndava kuona.
16 Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And 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 They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
Vakatizve kubofu: Iwe unoti kudini pamusoro pake, sezvo asvinudza meso ako? Akati: Muporofita.
18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.
Zvino VaJudha havana kutenda pamusoro pake, kuti wakange ari bofu, akaonazve, kusvikira vadana vabereki vewakaonazve,
19 And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?
zvino vakavabvunza, vachiti: Uyu mwanakomana wenyu imwi wamunoti wakaberekwa ari bofu here? Naizvozvo ikozvino woona sei?
20 His parents answered [them] and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Vabereki vake vakavapindura vakati: Tinoziva kuti uyu mwanakomana wedu, uye kuti wakaberekwa ari bofu;
21 but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself.
asi kuti ikozvino woona sei, hatizivi; kana ndiani wasvinudza meso ake, isu hatizivi; iye wayaruka, mubvunzei, iye pachake achazvitaurira.
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.
Vabereki vake vakareva izvi, nokuti vaitya VaJudha; nokuti VaJudha vakange vatotenderana kuti kana ani nani anobvuma kuti ndiye Kristu, abudiswe musinagoge.
23 On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.
Naizvozvo vabereki vake vakati: Wayaruka, mubvunzei.
24 They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.
Naizvozvo vakadana rwechipiri uyo munhu wakange ari bofu, vakati kwaari: Ipa Mwari rumbidzo; isu tinoziva kuti munhu uyu mutadzi.
25 He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.
Naizvozvo iye akapindura achiti: Kana ari mutadzi handizivi; chinhu chimwe chandinoziva, kuti ndaiva bofu, ikozvino ndoona.
26 And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
Zvino vakati kwaarizve: Wakaitei kwauri? Wakasvinudza meso ako sei?
27 He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?
Akavapindura, akati: Ndadokuudzai, asi hamuna kunzwa, munodirei kunzwa zvekare? Nemwi munoda kuva vadzidzi vake kanhi?
28 They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Naizvozvo vakamutuka, vakati: Ndiwe mudzidzi wake; asi isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.
Isu tinoziva kuti Mwari wakataura kuna Mozisi; asi uyu hatizivi kwaanobva.
30 The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.
Munhu akapindura akati kwavari: Nokuti pachinhu ichi pane chinoshamisa, kuti imwi hamuzivi kwaanobva, asi wasvinudza meso angu.
31 [But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.
Zvino tinoziva kuti Mwari haanzwi vatadzi; asi kana munhu ari mushumiri waMwari, achiita chido chake, uyu anomunzwa.
32 Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
Kubvira rinhi hakuna kumbonzwika kuti umwe wakasvinudza meso ewakaberekwa ari bofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.
Dai uyu anga asingabvi kuna Mwari, haasaigona kuita chinhu.
34 They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.
Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Iwe zvachese wakaberekerwa muzvivi, zvino iwe wotidzidzisa here? Vakamudzingira kunze.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?
Jesu akanzwa kuti vamudzingira kunze; akati amuwana, akati kwaari: Iwe unotenda kuMwanakomana waMwari here?
36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
Iye akapindura akati: Ndiani, Ishe, kuti nditende kwaari?
37 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.
Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Newe wamuona, uye anotaura newe, ndiye.
38 And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.
Zvino akati: Ishe ndinotenda; akamunamata.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.
Jesu ndokuti: Kutonga ndiko ini kwandakauira panyika ino, kuti vasingaoni vaone; nevanoona vave mapofu.
40 And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?
Uye avo veVaFarisi vaiva naye vakanzwa zvinhu izvi, vakati kwaari: Nesu tiri mapofu here?
41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
Jesu akati kwavari: Dai maiva mapofu, mungadai musina chivi. Asi ikozvino munoti: Tinoona; naizvozvo chivi chenyu chinogara.
