John 9
1 As Jesus was passing by, he saw a man born blind.
Akati achifamba, akaona murume akanga aberekwa ari bofu.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, why was this man born blind? Was it him who sinned, or was it his parents?”
Vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza vakati, “Rabhi, ndianiko akatadza, murume uyu kana kuti vabereki vake, zvaakaberekwa ari bofu?”
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,
Jesu akapindura akati, “Hakusi kutadza kwomurume uyu kana kwavabereki vake kwakaita kuti zvidai, asi izvi zvakaitika kuti basa raMwari riratidzwe muupenyu hwake.
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.
Kana achiri masikati kudai, tinofanira kubata basa raiye akandituma. Usiku huri kuuya, husina munhu angagona kushanda basa nahwo.
5 While I'm here in the world I am the light of the world.”
Ndichiri munyika, ndiri chiedza chenyika.”
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.
Akati ataura izvozvo, akapfira mate pasi, akakanya dope namate, uye akariisa pameso omurume uya.
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.
Akati kwaari, “Enda undoshamba mudziva reSiroami” (shoko iri rinoreva kuti Kutumwa). Saka murume uya akaenda akandoshamba, akadzoka ava kuona.
8 His neighbors and those who had known him as a beggar, asked, “Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?”
Vavakidzani vake navaya vakanga vambomuona achipemha vakati, “Ko, uyu haasi iye murume uya aisimbogara achipemha here?”
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!”
Vamwe vakati, “Ndiye.” Vamwe vakati, “Kwete, anenge akangofanana naye chete.” Asi iye pachake akaramba achiti, “Ndini iye.”
10 “So how is it you can see?” they asked him.
Vakamubvunza vakati, “Meso ako akasvinudzwa sei?”
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.”
Akapindura akati, “Murume anonzi Jesu akakanya dope akarizora pameso angu. Akandiudza kuti ndiende kuSiroami ndinoshamba. Saka ndakaenda ndikandoshamba, uye ipapo ndakagona kuona.”
12 “Where is he?” they asked. “I don't know,” he replied.
Vakamubvunza vakati, “Aripiko murume wacho?” Iye akati, “Handizivi.”
13 They took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Vakauyisa murume uya aimbova bofu kuvaFarisi.
14 Now it was the Sabbath when Jesus had made the mud and opened the blind man's eyes.
Zvino zuva iro rakakanyiwa dope rikazorwa pameso omurume uya naJesu, raiva zuva reSabata.
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.”
Naizvozvo vaFarisi vakamubvunzawo kuti akasvinudzwa sei. Murume uya akapindura akati, “Azora dope pameso angu uye ndikandoshamba, zvino ndava kuona.”
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.
Vamwe vaFarisi vakati, “Murume uyu haabvi kuna Mwari, nokuti haachengeti Sabata.” Asi vamwe vakati, “Ko, mutadzi angaita zviratidzo zvakadai seiko?” Nokudaro vakabva vapesana.
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.
Pakupedzisira vakadzokerazve kumurume uya akaberekwa ari bofu vakati, “Ko, iwe unoti kudini naye, sezvo akasvinudza meso ako.” Murume uya akapindura akati, “Muprofita.”
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.
Kunyange zvakadaro, vaJudha havana kubvuma kuti akanga ari bofu uye kuti akanga asvinudzwa meso ake, kusvikira vadana vabereki vake.
19 They asked them, “Is this your son whom you say was born blind? So how is it that now he can see?”
Vakati kwavari, “Mwanakomana wenyu here uyu? Ndiye here wamunoti akaberekwa ari bofu? Seiko ava kuona iye zvino?”
20 His parents answered, “We know this is our son who was born blind.
Vabereki vake vakati, “Tinoziva kuti ndiye mwanakomana wedu, uye tinoziva kuti akaberekwa ari bofu.
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.”
Asi kuti ari kuona sei nhasi kana kuti ndiani asvinudza meso ake, isu hatizivi. Mubvunzei. Akura; achazvidavirira oga.”
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.
Vabereki vake vakataura izvi nokuti vaitya vaJudha, nokuti vaJudha vakanga vatotenderana kuti ani naani anenge angopupura kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu aizofanira kubudiswa musinagoge.
23 That was why his parents said, “Ask him, he's old enough.”
Ndokusaka vabereki vake vakati, “Akura mubvunzei iye.”
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.”
Vakadanazve murume uya akambenge ari bofu kechipiri. Vakati kwaari, “Ipa mbiri kuna Mwari. Isu tinoziva kuti murume uyu mutadzi.”
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.”
Akapindura akati, “Kana ari mutadzi kana asiri, ini handizvizivi. Ndinoziva chinhu chimwe chete. Ndakanga ndiri bofu asi zvino ndoona!”
26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
Ipapo vakamubvunza vakati, “Akaiteiko kwauri? Akasvinudza meso ako seiko?”
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?”
Akapindura akati, “Ndanguri ndakuudzai, asi hamuna kuteerera. Munodireiko kuzvinzwazve? Munoda kuva vadzidzi vakewo here?”
28 They shouted abuse at him, and said, “You're that man's disciple.
Ipapo vakamutuka vakati, “Iwe hako ndiwe mudzidzi wake munhu uyu! Isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi!
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.”
Tinoziva kuti Mwari akataura naMozisi, asi kana ari munhu uyu, hatimbozivi kwaanobva.”
30 The man answered, “That's incredible! You don't know where he comes from but he opened my eyes.
Murume uya akapindura akati, “Zvino, izvi zvinoshamisa chose! Hamuzivi kwaanobva, asi iye akasvinudza meso 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.
Tinoziva kuti Mwari haanzwi vatadzi. Anonzwa munhu anomutya uye anoita kuda kwake.
32 Never before in the whole of history has anyone heard of a man born blind being healed. (aiōn g165)
Hakuna munhu akatombonzwa nezvokusvinudzwa kwameso omunhu akaberekwa ari bofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man weren't from God, he could do nothing.”
Dai murume uyu asina kubva kuna Mwari, haaigona kuita chinhu.”
34 “You were born totally sinful, and yet you're trying to lecture us,” they replied. And they threw him out of the synagogue.
Ipapo vakapindura vakati, “Iwe wakaberekerwa muchivi; unoda seiko kutidzidzisa!” Ipapo vakamubudisa 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 akanzwa kuti vakanga vamudzingira kunze, uye akati amuwana, akati kwaari, “Unotenda here kuMwanakomana woMunhu?”
36 The man replied, “Tell me who he is, sir, so I can put my trust in him.”
Murume uya akapindura akati, “Iye ndianiko nhai, Ishe? Ndiudzei kuti ndigotenda kwaari.”
37 “You've already seen him. He's the one speaking with you now!” Jesus told him.
Jesu akati, “Wamuona zvino; uye ndiye ari kutaura newe.”
38 “I trust you, Lord!” he said, and he kneeled in worship before Jesus.
Ipapo murume uya akati, “Ishe, ndinotenda,” akabva amunamata.
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 akati, “Kutonga ndiko kwandakavinga munyika ino, kuitira kuti mapofu aone uye avo vanoona vave mapofu.”
40 Some Pharisees who were there with Jesus asked him, “We're not blind too, are we?”
Vamwe vaFarisi vaiva naye vakamunzwa achitaura izvi vakati, “Watii? Nesuwo tiri mapofu here?”
41 Jesus answered, “If you were blind, you wouldn't be guilty. But now that you say you see, your guilt remains.”
Jesu akati, “Dai maiva mapofu, mungadai musina mhosva yechivi; asi zvino zvamunoti munoona, mhosva yenyu inoramba iripo.”
