John 9
1 And passing along, He saw a man blind from his birth.
Mgbe ọ na-agafe, ọ hụrụ otu nwoke kpuru ìsì site nʼafọ nne ya.
2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned, this one, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya sị, “Onye ozizi, onye mehiere? Nwoke a ka ọ bụ ndị mụrụ ya, nke mere e ji mụọ ya nʼìsí?”
3 Jesus responded, Neither did he nor his parents sin; but that the works of God may be made manifest in him.
Jisọs sịrị, “Nwoke a emehieghị, ndị mụrụ ya emehiekwaghị, kama o kpuru ìsì ka ọrụ Chineke pụta ìhè na ndụ ya.
4 It behooveth us to work the works of Him that sent us, while it is day: the night comes, when no one is able to work.
Anyị aghaghị ịrụ ọrụ onye ahụ zitere m, mgbe chi ka dị, anyasị na-abịa mgbe o nweghị onye pụrụ ịrụ ọrụ.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Dị ka m nọ nʼụwa, Abụ m ìhè nke ụwa.”
6 Saying these words, He spat on the ground, and made mortar out of the spittle, and besmeared the mortar on his eyes,
Mgbe o kwusiri nke a, ọ bụsara ọnụ mmiri asụ nʼala gwakọta ya na aja, werekwa aja ahụ tee nwoke ahụ nʼanya.
7 and He said to him; Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is interpreted, Sent). Then he went away, and washed, and came seeing.
Ọ gwara ya, “Gaa nʼọdọ mmiri Sailọm saa ihu gị” (nke a pụtara “Zitere”). Ọ gara saa ihu ya, lọghachita na-ahụ ụzọ.
8 Then the neighbors, and those seeing him previously, because he was a beggar, continued to say, Is not this the one sitting and begging?
Ndị agbataobi ya na ndị nʼahụ ya nʼoge gara aga ka ọ na-arịọ arịrịọ sịrị, “Nke a, ọ bụghị nwoke ahụ na-anọdụ ala na-arịọ arịrịọ?”
9 Some said, That he is: others said, No, but he is like him: he said, I am he.
Ụfọdụ na-asị, “Ọ bụ ya.” Ma ndị ọzọ na-asịkwa, “Ọ bụghị ya. Ọ bụ onye yiri ya.” Ma ọ na-asị, “Abụ m nwoke ahụ.”
10 Then they said to him, How then were your eyes opened?
Ha na-asị ya, “Olee otu anya gị sịrị meghee?”
11 He responded, a man called Jesus made mortar and besmeared my eyes, and said, Go to Siloam, and wash. Then having gone away and washed, I looked up.
Ọ zara, “Nwoke a na-akpọ Jisọs gwakọtara ụrọ tee m nʼanya. Ọ gwara m sị, ‘Gaa saa ihu gị nʼọdọ mmiri Sailọm.’ A gara m saa onwe m, malitekwa ịhụ ụzọ.”
12 They said to him, Where is He? He says, I know not.
Ha sịrị ya, “Olee ebe nwoke ahụ nọ?” Ọ sịrị, “Amaghị m.”
13 They lead him to the Pharisees, him formerly blind.
Ha dutere nwoke ahụ kpuru ìsì na mbụ nʼihu ndị Farisii.
14 And it was the Sabbath on the day on which Jesus made mortar, and opened his eyes.
Ma ọ bụ nʼụbọchị izuike ka Jisọs gwakọtara aja, jiri ya meghe anya ya.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he looked up. And he said to them, He placed the mortar on my eyes, and I washed, and see.
Ya mere, ndị Farisii jụrụ ya otu o si bido ịhụ ụzọ. Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ gwakọtara aja tee m nʼanya, a sakwara m ihu ma ugbu a ana m ahụ ụzọ.”
16 Then certain ones of the Pharisees said, This man is not with God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is a wicked man able to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Ụfọdụ ndị Farisii sịrị, “Nwoke a esiteghị nʼebe Chineke nọ bịa, nʼihi na ọ dịghị edebe ụbọchị izuike.” Ma ndị ọzọ na-asị, “Olee otu onye mmehie ga-esi rụọ ọrụ ịrịbama ndị dị otu a?” Nkewa dịrị nʼetiti ha.
17 Then they again say to the blind man, What do you say concerning Him, because He opened your eyes? And he said that, He is a prophet.
Ya mere, ha sịrị nwoke ahụ kpuru ìsì, “Gịnị ka i nwere ikwu banyere ya? Ọ bụ anya gị ka o meghere.” Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ onye amụma.”
18 Then the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he was blind, and looked up, until they called the parents of him that looked up,
Ma ndị Juu ahụ ekweghị na nwoke a bụ onye kpuru ìsì na mbụ, nke e mere ka ọ hụ ụzọ, tutu ruo mgbe ha kpọrọ ndị mụrụ ya.
19 and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?
Ha jụrụ ha sị, “Onye a ọ bụ nwa unu, onye unu na-asị na o kpuru ìsì site nʼoge a mụrụ ya? O si aṅaa ahụ ụzọ ugbu a?”
20 Then his parents responded and said; We know that he is our son, and that he was born blind:
Ndị mụrụ ya zara, “nke a bụ nwa anyị. Anyị matakwara na o kpuru ìsì site nʼoge anyị mụrụ ya.
21 but how he now sees, we know not; nor who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he has majority; he will speak for himself.
Ma otu o si ahụ ụzọ ugbu a maọbụ onye meghere anya ya, anyị amaghị. Jụọnụ ya. Ọ bụ dimkpa, ya zara ọnụ ya.”
22 And his parents said these things, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already stipulated, that if any one should confess Him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
Ihe a ka ndị mụrụ ya kwuru nʼihi na ha na-atụ egwu ndị Juu. Ndị kpebirila na ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ekwuo na Jisọs bụ Kraịst ahụ, ha ga-achụpụ onye ahụ site nʼụlọ ekpere ha.
23 Therefore his parents said that, He has majority, ask him.
Nke a mere ndị mụrụ ya jiri sị, “Ọ bụ dimkpa, unu jụọ ya.”
24 Then they asked the man the second time who was blind, and said to him, Give God the glory: we know that this man is a sinner.
Ha kpọrọ nwoke a nke ugboro abụọ, bụ onye ahụ kpuburu ìsì, sị ya, “Nye Chineke otuto. Anyị maara na nwoke a bụ onye mmehie.”
25 Then he responded, If He is a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that being blind I now see.
Ọ zara, “Amaghị m maọbụ onye mmehie ma ọ bụghị. Ma otu ihe ka m maara, ekpuru m ìsì na mbụ ma ugbu a ana m ahụ ụzọ.”
26 Then they said to him, What did He to you? how did He open your eyes?
Ha sịrị ya, “Gịnị ka o mere gị? Olee otu o si meghe anya gị?”
27 He responded to them, I told you already, and you did not hearken: why do you wish to hear again? whether do you wish to become His disciples?
Ọ zara ha, “Agwala m unu ihe niile, ma unu achọghị ikwere. Gịnị mere unu ji chọọ ịnụ ya ọzọ? Unu chọkwara ịghọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya?”
28 They railed on him, and said, You are His disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses:
Ha bigbọrọ ya sị, “Gị onwe gị bụrụkwa onye na-eso ụzọ ya! Anyị bụ ndị na-eso ụzọ Mosis.
29 we know that God spoke to Moses: but we do not know this One, whence He is.
Anyị mara na Chineke gwara Mosis okwu, ma gbasara nwoke a, anyị amaghị ebe o siri bịa.”
30 The man responded and said to them; For in this it is wonderful, that you do not know whence He is, He truly opened my eyes.
Nwoke ahụ zaghachiri sị ha, “Ma otu ọ dị, nke a bụ ihe ịtụnanya! Unu amaghị ebe o sịrị bịa ma o meghere anya m.
31 We know that God hears not sinners: but if any one may be a worshiper of God, and do His will, He hears him.
Anyị mara na Chineke adịghị ege ndị mmehie ntị, ma ọ na-ege ntị onye na-atụ egwu ya na onye na-eme uche ya.
32 It was never heard of from the beginning that any one opened the eyes of a man who was born blind: (aiōn g165)
Site na mgbe e kere ụwa, ọ dịbeghị onye a nụrụ na o meghere anya onye kpuru ìsì. (aiōn g165)
33 if He were not with God, He would not be able to do anything.
Ọ bụrụ na nwoke a esiteghị nʼebe Chineke nọ, ọ gaghị enwe ike ime ihe ọbụla.”
34 They responded and said to him, Thou art altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
Ha zara sị ya, “Gị onye a mụrụ nʼime mmehie, ị na-achọ ikuziri anyị ihe?” Ha chụpụrụ ya nʼezi.
35 Jesus heard that they cast him out; and having found him, said, Do you believe on the Son of man?
Jisọs nụrụ na ha achụpụla ya nʼezi, ma mgbe ọ chọtara ya, ọ sịrị ya, “I kweere na Nwa nke Mmadụ?”
36 He responded and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on, Him?
Ọ zara sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụ onye? Gwa m ka m nwe ike ikwere na ya.”
37 Jesus said to him, Indeed you have seen Him, and the One speaking with you is He.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ị hụla ya ugbu a; onye gị na ya na-ekwurịta okwu bụ onye ahụ.”
38 And He said, I believe, Lord: and he worshiped Him.
Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe m, ekwela m.” Ọ kpọrọ isiala nye ya.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, that those not seeing may see; and those seeing may be made blind.
Jisọs sịrị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi ikpe ka m ji bịa nʼụwa, ka ndị na-adịghị ahụ ụzọ bido ịhụ ụzọ, na ka ndị na-ahụ ụzọ ghọọ ndị kpuru ìsì.”
40 And those of the Pharisees being with Him heard, and said to Him, Whether are we also blind?
Mgbe ụfọdụ ndị Farisii nọ nso nʼebe ahụ nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị ya, “Anyị onwe anyị, anyị bụkwa ndị kpuru ìsì?”
41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would not have sin: but now you say that, We see: your sin remaineth.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu kpuru ìsì, ikpe ọmụma mmehie agaghị ama unu, ma ugbu a ebe unu sị na unu na-ahụ ụzọ ikpe ọmụma unu na-adịgide.”
