John 9
1 And as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man which was blinde from his birth.
Mme ya re a santse a tsamaya, a bona monna yo o saleng a tsalwa a foufetse.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde?
Mme barutwa ba gagwe ba mmotsa ba re, “Morena, ke eng fa monna yo a tsetswe e le sefofu? A ke ka ntlha ya dibe tsa gagwe kgotsa dibe tsa batsadi ba gagwe?”
3 Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the workes of God should be shewed on him.
Mme Jesu a araba a re, “Ga se ka ntlha ya dibe dipe. Go ne go direlwa gore nonofo ya Modimo e supiwe.
4 I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke.
Rotlhe re tshwanetse go akofa ra dira ditiro tse re di neetsweng ke yo o nthomileng, gonne go setse nakonyana fela pele ga bosigo bo tla mme tiro yotlhe e bo e khutla.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Mme fa ke santse ke le fano mo lefatsheng, ke naya lefatshe lesedi la me.”
6 Assoone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spettle, and anointed the eyes of the blinde with the clay,
Mme a kgwela mathe mo mmung a duba seretse ka mathe mme a se tshasa mo matlhong a monna yo o foufetseng,
7 And sayd vnto him, Go wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came againe seeing.
mme a mo raya a re, “Tsamaya o ye go tlhapa mo lekadibeng la Siloame” (lefoko le le reng ‘Siloame’ le raya gore ‘Romilwe’) jalo monna a ya kwa a romilweng teng, mme a feta a tlhapa a boela kwa morago a bona!
8 Nowe the neighbours and they that had seene him before, when he was blinde, sayd, Is not this he that sate and begged?
Mme ba ga gabo le batho ba bangwe ba ba mo itseng e le sefofu sa mokopi ba botsanya ba re, “A yo ke ene tota, mokopi yo re mo itseng?”
9 Some said, This is he: and other sayd, He is like him: but he himselfe sayd, I am he.
Bangwe ba re, ee, mme ba bangwe ba re nnyaa. Jalo ba akanyetsa ba re, “Ga e ka ke ya nna ene, mme o lebega jaaka ene!” Mme mokopi a ba raya a re, “Ke nna yo lo nkitseng!”
10 Therefore they sayd vnto him, Howe were thine eyes opened?
Mme ba mmotsa gore go diragetse jang gore a foufologe. Tota-tota go tsamaile jang!
11 He answered, and sayd, The man that is called Iesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and sayde vnto me, Goe to the poole of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and receiued sight.
Mme a ba raya a re, “Monna yo ba mmitsang Jesu o ne a duba seretse a se tshasa mo matlhong a me mme a nthaya a re ke ye kwa lekadibeng la Siloame ke ye go tlhapa seretse. Mme ke ne ka dira jalo, jaanong ke a bona!”
12 Then they sayd vnto him, Where is he? He sayd, I can not tell.
Mme ba mmotsa ba re, “O kae jaanong?” Mme a araba a re, “Ga ke itse.”
13 They brought to the Pharises him that was once blinde.
Mme ba tsaya monna ba mo isa kwa Bafarasaing.
14 And it was the Sabbath day, when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Mme ya re mo go diragala ga bo go le letsatsi la Sabata.
15 Then againe the Pharises also asked him, how he had receiued sight. And hee sayd vnto them, He layd clay vpon mine eyes, and I washed, and doe see.
Mme Bafarasai ba mmotsa gotlhe ka ga tiragalo eo. Jalo a ba bolelela ka fa Jesu a neng a dira seretse ka teng a se tshasa mo matlhong a gagwe, mme ya re a sena go tlhapa a bona!
16 Then said some of the Pharises, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others sayd, Howe can a man that is a sinner, doe such miracles? and there was a dissension among them.
Bangwe ba bone ba re, “Motho yo Jesu ga a tswe kwa Modimong gonne o dira go le Sabata.” Ba bangwe ba re, “Mme motho fela wa modira dibe ao ka dira dikgakgamatso tse jang?” Mme ga nna kgaogano e tona ya megopolo mo go bone.
17 Then spake they vnto the blinde againe, What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes? And he sayd, He is a Prophet.
Mme Bafarasai ba retologela kwa monneng yo a neng a foufetse ba mmotsa ba re, “Wa re monna yo o go foufolotseng ke mang?” Mme monna a re, “Ke bona gore e tshwanetse ya bo e le moporofiti a romilwe ke Modimo.”
18 Then the Iewes did not beleeue him (that he had bene blinde, and receiued his sight) vntill they had called the parents of him that had receiued sight.
Mme Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba seka ba dumela gore o ne a foufetse, go fitlhelela ba botsa batsadi ba gagwe.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your sonne, whom ye say was borne blinde? How doeth he nowe see then?
Erile ba sena go ba bitsa ba ba botsa ba re, “A motho yo ke morwaa lona? A o-tsetswe a foufetse? Fa go ntse jalo, ke eng fa a bona?”
20 His parents answered them, and sayd, We know that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blinde:
Batsadi ba gagwe ba fetola ba re, “e itse gore motho yo ke ngwana wa rona le gore o tsetswe e le sefofu,
21 But by what meanes hee nowe seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell: he is olde ynough: aske him: hee shall answere for himselfe.
mme ga re itse gore go diragetse jang gore a foufologe, kgotsa gore o foufolotswe ke mang. O setse a godile o lekanye go ikarabela. Mmotseng.”
22 These wordes spake his parents, because they feared the Iewes: for the Iewes had ordeined already, that if any man did confesse that he was Christ, he should be excommunicate out of the Synagogue.
Ba ne ba bua jaana ka ba boifa baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba ba neng ba setse ba anamisitse gore mongwe fela yo o reng Jesu ke Mesia o tlaa kgaolwa mo phuthegong.
23 Therefore sayde his parents, Hee is olde ynough: aske him.
24 Then againe called they the man that had bene blinde, and sayd vnto him, Giue glory vnto God: we know that this man is a sinner.
Mme lwa bobedi ba bitsa monna yo o foufolotsweng ba mo raya ba re, “Galaletsa Modimo e seng Jesu, gonne re itse gore Jesu ke motho yo o bosula.”
25 Then he answered, and sayd, Whether hee be a sinner or no, I can not tell: one thing I know, that I was blinde, and nowe I see.
Mme monna a fetola a re, “Ga ke itse gore a o siame kgotsa o bosula, mme nna ke itse fela gore, ke ne ke le sefofu mme jaanong ke a bona!”
26 Then sayd they to him againe, What did he to thee? howe opened he thine eyes?
Ba mmotsa ba re, “O ne a dira eng? O ne a go fodisa jang”?
27 Hee answered them, I haue tolde you already, and yee haue not heard it: wherefore would yee heare it againe? will yee also be his disciples?
Mme monna a ba botsa a re, “Bonang! Ke lo boleletse gagwe fela, a lo ne lo sa reetsa? Ke eng fa lo mpotsa gape? A le lona lo batla go nna barutwa ba gagwe?”
28 Then reuiled they him, and sayd, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses disciples.
Mme ba mo hutsa ba mo raya ba re, “Morutwa wa gagwe, mme rona re barutwa ba ga Moshe.
29 We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is.
Re itse gore Modimo o buile le Moshe, mme fa e le yo ene ga re itse sepe ka ga gagwe.”
30 The man answered, and sayde vnto them, Doutlesse, this is a marueilous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
Mme a fetola a re, “Ka ntlha yang, go a hakgamatsa!
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.
O foufolola difofu, mme o na le ditsebe tse di bulegetseng ba ba o obamelang ba dirago rata ga one.
32 Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde. (aiōn g165)
Fa e sale lefatshe le simologa ga go ise go ke go nne le ope yo a neng a ka foufola matlho a mongwe yo o tsetsweng a le sefofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not of God, hee could haue done nothing.
Fa monna yo a ne a sa tswe kwa Modimong, o ka bo a sa kgona go foufolola difofu.”
34 They answered, and sayd vnto him, Thou art altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? so they cast him out.
Mme ba goa ba re, “Ngwana wa mpa ya dikgora ke wena! A o leka go re ruta?” Mme ba mo kgoromeletsa kwa ntle.
35 Iesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he sayd vnto him, Doest thou beleeue in the Sonne of God?
Erile fa Jesu a utlwalela se se diragetseng, a bona monna yo mme a mo raya a re, “A o dumela mo go Mesis?”
36 He answered, and sayd, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue in him?
Mme monna a araba a re, “E mang, rra, gonne ke a batla.”
37 And Iesus sayd vnto him, Both thou hast seene him, and he it is that talketh with thee.
Mme Jesu a re, “O mmonye, ebile ke ene yo o buang le wena!”
38 Then he sayd, Lord, I beleeue, and worshipped him.
Monna a re, “Ee, Morena, Ke a dumela!” mme a obamela Jesu.
39 And Iesus sayd, I am come vnto iudgement into this world, that they which see not, might see: and that they which see, might be made blinde.
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “E tletse mo lefatsheng go naya ba ba foufetseng mo moweng pono le go kaela ba ba ithayang ba re ba a bona gore ba foufetse.”
40 And some of the Pharises which were with him, heard these things, and sayd vnto him, Are we blinde also?
Bafarasai ba ba neng eme foo ba botsa ba re, “A wa re re foufetse?”
41 Iesus sayd vnto them, If ye were blinde, ye should not haue sinne: but nowe ye say, We see: therefore your sinne remaineth.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Fa lo ne lo foufetse, lo ka bo lo se molato! Mme lo molato gonne lo ipona gore lo itse se lo se dirang.”
