John 9
1 As Jesus was passing by, he saw a man born blind.
Linu Jesu habahitite, nabona mukwame yabazalwa nalimuhofu.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, why was this man born blind? Was it him who sinned, or was it his parents?”
Barutwana bakwe chibamubuza, “Muruti, babatendi chive njibani, uzu mukwame kapa bazazi bakwe, habazalwa nalimuhofu?”
3 Jesus replied, “It wasn't because the man or his parents sinned. But so that what God can do may be shown in his life,
Jesus abetabi, “Kenakuti uzu mukwame aba tendi chive nandi bazazi bakwe “kono kuti mitendo ya Ireeza ibungutulwe chali.
4 we have to keep on doing the work of the one who sent me as long as it is still daytime. The night is coming when no one can work.
Tutameha kutenda mitendo yozo yabanitumi nichili musihali. Masiku akezite mweyonako kakwina yeti nawole kusebeza.
5 While I'm here in the world I am the light of the world.”
Hanichina muchisi, njime nisele lyechinu chisi.
6 After he'd said this, Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva which he put on the man's eyes.
Jesu hamana kuwamba izi zintu, naswila hansi, kutenda itope chamate, imi nasinga itope hamenso akwe.
7 Then Jesus told him, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “sent”). So the man went and washed, and when he went home he could see.
Nichati kwali, “Yenda, kasambe muchihumbi cha Siloe (Itoloka kuti: kutumwa.” Hakwinabulyo mukwame naliyendela, nakasamba, imi nakabola chobona.
8 His neighbors and those who had known him as a beggar, asked, “Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?”
Hahabulyo bababambene nozo mukwame nabana babamuboni nali mukumbili babali kuwamba kuti, “Uzu kanjiyena yaba kuikalanga na kumbila?”
9 Some said he was, while others said “no, it's just someone who looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “It is me!”
Balikene nibati, “Nji yena” Bamwi nibati, “Nanta, kono uboneka ubu njeye.” imi iye chati, “Njime.”
10 “So how is it you can see?” they asked him.
Nibati kwali, “Linuhe menso ako ayeluki bule?”
11 He replied, “A man called Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes and told me, ‘Go and wash yourself in the Pool of Siloam.’ So I went and washed, and now I can see.”
Netaba, mukwame yo sumpwa Jesu watenda itope ni kunisunga amenso angu imi nati kwangu, 'Yende kwa Siloe mi uka sambe,' Chobulyo chinayenda imi ninakasamba imi ninatanga kubona.”
12 “Where is he?” they asked. “I don't know,” he replied.
Nibati kwali, “Winahi iye?” Netaba nati, “kanizi.”
13 They took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Nibaleta mukwame yaba kubanga chihofu ku Mafalisi.
14 Now it was the Sabbath when Jesus had made the mud and opened the blind man's eyes.
Linu ibali izuba lye nsabata ilyo Jesu aba tendi itope heyalula menso akwe.
15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he could see. He told them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
Linu hape Mafalisi chiba mubuza mwaba bonene. Nati kubali, “Wabika itope hamenso angu, naka samba imi hanu chini bona.”
16 Some of the Pharisees said, “The man who did this can't be from God because he doesn't keep the Sabbath.” But others wondered, “How could a sinner do such miracles?” So they were divided in their opinion.
Balikene ku Bafilisi nibati, “Uzu mukwame kazwi kwa Ireeza mukuti kechilili Insabata.” Bamwi nibati, “Kwiza buti kuti mukwame wina chive atende imakazo zisika aha?” Chobulyo ni kwaba ni kuliyaba mukati kabo.
17 So they went on questioning the man. “What's your opinion about him, then, since it's your eyes he opened,” they asked. “He's surely a prophet,” the man replied.
Chobulyo nibabuza mukwame wechihofu hape, “Utinzi kuamana naye mukuti njobeyalulwa menso kwali?” Mukwame wechihofu nati, “mutanikizi.”
18 The Jewish leaders still refused to believe that the man who had been blind could now see until they had called in the man's parents.
Nangaho Majuda kanababazumini kuti ibali chihofu yabeyalulwa menso ulukusikila habasumpa bazazi bakwe yasanaabali kubona.
19 They asked them, “Is this your son whom you say was born blind? So how is it that now he can see?”
Nibabuza bazazi bakwe, “Uzu nji mwanenu wamuswisu imutakuti abazalwa nali chihofu? Kwiza buti kuti linu abone?”
20 His parents answered, “We know this is our son who was born blind.
Chobulyo bazazi bakwe babetabi, “Twizi kuti uzu nji mwanetu wamuswisu nikuti aba zalwa neli chihofu.
21 But we've no idea how he can see now, or who healed him. Why don't you ask him, he's old enough. He can speak for himself.”
Mukubezili kuti abone hanu katwizi, ni yabeyaluli menso akwe katwizi. Mumubuze, mukulwana. Uwola kuliwambilila iye mwine.”
22 The reason his parents said this was because they were afraid of what the Jewish leaders would do. The Jewish leaders had already announced that anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.
Bazazi bakwe babawambi izi zintu, mukuti babakutite Majuda. Mukuti Majuda chiba babazuminzene kale kuti iye yete alizumine kuti nji Kreste mubamuhindikile kunze yamasinagoge.
23 That was why his parents said, “Ask him, he's old enough.”
Chebaka lyezi, bazazi bakwe nibati, “Mukulwana, mumubuze.”
24 Once more they called in the man who had been blind, and told him, “Give God the glory! We know this man is a sinner.”
Mukuti chibabahitite tobole nibasumpa mukwame yabakubanga chihofu ni chibati kwali, “Uhe ikanya kwa Ireeza. Twizi kuti uzu mukwame mutendi wazive.”
25 The man replied, “Whether he's a sinner or not, I don't know. All I know is that I was blind and now I can see.”
Linu uzo mukwame netaba, “Kanizi nandi mutendi wazive. Chimwi chinizi: Nibali nimuhofu, imi hanu chinibona.”
26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
Kuzwaho nibamuti, “Chinzi chabatendi kwako? Abeyalula buti menso ako?”
27 The man replied, “I already told you. Weren't you listening? Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples too, do you?”
Abetabi, namiwambila kale, imi kamutekelezi! Chinzi hamusaka kuzuwa chimwi hape? Kamusaki kuba barutwana bakwe nanwe, nandi musaka?
28 They shouted abuse at him, and said, “You're that man's disciple.
Nichibamutuka imi nibati, “Umurutwana wakwe, imi iswe tubarutwana ba Mushe.
29 We're disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this person, we don't even know where he comes from.”
Twizi kuti Ireeza abawambi kwa Mushe, imi katwizi kuti uzu uzwa kuhi.”
30 The man answered, “That's incredible! You don't know where he comes from but he opened my eyes.
Mukwame netaba nabacho, Ichi chikomosa, kuti kamwizi kwazwa, kono abeyaluli menso angu.
31 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does what he wants.
Twizi kuti Ireeza katekelezi batendi bazive, kono haiba muntu ulibekite kwa Ireeza ni kutenda intato yakwe, umutekeleza.
32 Never before in the whole of history has anyone heard of a man born blind being healed. (aiōn g165)
Kutanga kumatangilo achisi kana kubeni kuzuweka kuti kwina ichabeyaluli menso amukwame yabazalwa neli muhofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man weren't from God, he could do nothing.”
Haiba uzu mukwame kazwi kwa Ireeza, kakwina chiti nabatendi.”
34 “You were born totally sinful, and yet you're trying to lecture us,” they replied. And they threw him out of the synagogue.
Nibamwitaba nibati, “Iwe ubazalilwa muzive kumaniniza, imi utuluta?” Hahobulyo nibamusohela kunze.”
35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he went and found the man, and asked him, “Do you trust in the Son of man?”
Jesu abazuwi kuti babamuhindikili hanze yesinagoge. Hamusangana nati, “Uzumina ku Mwana Muntu na?”
36 The man replied, “Tell me who he is, sir, so I can put my trust in him.”
Netaba nati, “Njeni uzo, Simwine, kokuti nizumine kwali?”
37 “You've already seen him. He's the one speaking with you now!” Jesus told him.
Jesu nati kwali, “Ubamuboni, imi njeyena yowamba nawe.”
38 “I trust you, Lord!” he said, and he kneeled in worship before Jesus.
Mukwame nati, “Simwine, nizumina” imi namulapela.
39 Then Jesus told him, “I've come into the world to bring judgment so that those who are blind may see, and those who see will become blind.”
Jesu nati, “Kuatulwa chinibezili mwechinu chisi kokuti basaboni babone imi kokuti bana babona basanduke zihofu.”
40 Some Pharisees who were there with Jesus asked him, “We're not blind too, are we?”
Balikene ku Bafalisi babena naye babazuwi izi zintu imi nibamubuza, “Kana naswe bulyo tubahofu?”
41 Jesus answered, “If you were blind, you wouldn't be guilty. But now that you say you see, your guilt remains.”
Jesu nabati, “Haiba mubali muzihofu, nimusena mubabi ni zive, kono hanu muti, 'Tubona,' chobulyo chive chako muzishale bobulyo.
