John 9
1 AND as he passed along, he saw a man blind from his birth.
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’atambula, n’alaba omusajja eyazaalibwa nga muzibe w’amaaso.
2 And his disciples inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
Abayigirizwa be ne bamubuuza nti, “Labbi, ani eyayonoona, ono oba bazadde be alyoke azaalibwe nga muzibe w’amaaso?”
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man been in fault, nor his parents; but it is in order to make manifest the works of God in him.
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Ku bonna omusajja ono newaakubadde bazadde be tekuliiko yayonoona, wabula kino kyabaawo emirimu gya Katonda girabikire ku ye.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
Kale kitugwanidde okukola emirimu gy’oyo eyantuma, obudde nga bukyali misana. Ekiro kijja omuntu mw’atasobolera kukola.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Kyokka Nze bwe mbeera mu nsi mba musana gwa nsi.”
6 So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man;
Yesu bwe yamala okwogera bw’atyo, n’awanda amalusu ku ttaka n’atabula, n’alisiiga ku maaso g’omusajja oyo.
7 and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing.
N’amugamba nti, “Genda onaabe mu kidiba kya Sirowamu,” amakulu nti, “Eyatumibwa”. Awo omusajja n’agenda, n’anaaba, n’adda ng’alaba.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging?
Baliraanwa b’oyo eyawonyezebwa era n’abalala abaali bamumanyi nga muzibe w’amaaso, asabiriza, ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Ono si ye musajja oli eyatuulanga wali ng’asabiriza?”
9 Some said, That this is he: but others, That he is like him: he himself said, I am he.
Abamu ne bagamba nti, “Ye ye,” abalala ne bagamba nti, “Nedda, anaamufaanana bufaananyi.” Kyokka ye n’abagamba nti, “Ye nze ddala.”
10 When said they to him, How were thine eyes opened?
Bo kwe ku mubuuza nti, “Kale amaaso go gaazibuse gatya?”
11 he answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: then I went, and washing received sight.
N’abategeeza nti, “Omuntu ayitibwa Yesu, yatabula ettaka n’alinsiiga ku maaso, n’andagira nti, ‘Genda e Sirowamu onaabe.’ Ne ŋŋenda ne naaba, ne nsobola okulaba.”
12 They said to him, Where is he? He replied, I know not.
Ne bamubuuza nti, “Ali ludda wa?” N’addamu nti, “Simanyi.”
13 They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.
Awo ne batwala omusajja eyali omuzibe w’amaaso eri Abafalisaayo.
14 (Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.)
Olunaku olwo Yesu lwe yatabulirako ettaka n’azibula omusajja oyo amaaso, lwali lwa Ssabbiiti.
15 The Pharisees therefore questioned him again, How he had received sight? And he told them, He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.
Abafalisaayo nabo ne babuuza omuntu oyo engeri gye yazibuka amaaso. Awo n’ababuulira ng’agamba nti, “Yesu yatabula ettaka n’alinsiiga ku maaso, ne naaba, kaakano ndaba.”
16 Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he observeth not the sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a wicked man to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Abamu ku bo ne bagamba nti, “Omusajja oyo Yesu teyava wa Katonda kubanga takwata Ssabbiiti.” Kyokka abalala ne bagamba nti, “Omuntu omwonoonyi ayinza atya okukola eby’amagero ebifaanana bwe bityo?” Ne wabaawo okwawukana kunene mu bo.
17 They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him? that he opened thine eyes? Then he replied, That he is a prophet.
Awo Abafalisaayo ne bakyukira omusajja eyali omuzibe w’amaaso ne bamubuuza nti, “Omuntu oyo eyakuzibula amaaso olowooza wa ngeri ki?” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Ndowooza nnabbi.”
18 Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received sight.
Ne batakkiriza nti omusajja oyo yali muzibe, okutuusa lwe baayita abazadde be,
19 And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see?
ne bababuuza nti, “Ono mutabani wammwe? Era yazaalibwa nga muzibe wa maaso? Kale obanga bwe kiri kaakano asobola atya okulaba?”
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
Bakadde be ne baddamu nti, “Tumanyi ng’oyo ye mutabani waffe era nga yazaalibwa muzibe wa maaso.
21 but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.
Naye engeri gye yazibukamu amaaso tetugimanyi, era n’eyamuzibula amaaso tetumumanyi. Wuuyo musajja mukulu mumwebuulize ajja kweyogerera.”
22 So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.
Ekyaboogeza batyo lwa kutya Bayudaaya. Kubanga Abayudaaya baali bamaze okuteesa nti buli ayatula nti Yesu ye Kristo agobebwe mu kuŋŋaaniro.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
Ekyo kye kyaboogeza nti, “Wuuyo musajja mukulu mumwebuulize.”
24 The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.
Awo ate ne bongera okuyita omusajja eyali omuzibe w’amaaso ne bamugamba nti, “Gulumiza Katonda, kubanga tumanyi omusajja oyo mwonoonyi.”
25 Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Oba mwonoonyi oba si mwonoonyi simanyi, wabula kye mmanyi kiri kimu nti nnali muzibe w’amaaso, naye kaakano ndaba.”
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves?
Kyebaava bamubuuza nti, “Kiki kye yakola? Amaaso yagazibula atya?”
27 He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples?
Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Nabategeezezza dda ne mutawuliriza. Lwaki ate mwagala mbaddiremu? Nammwe mwagala kufuuka bayigirizwa be?”
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses.
Ne bamuvuma ne bamugamba nti, “Ggwe oli muyigirizwa we. Naye ffe tuli bayigirizwa ba Musa.
29 We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is.
Ffe tumanyi nga Katonda yayogera ne Musa, naye oyo tetumanyi gy’ava.”
30 The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes.
Ye n’addamu nti, “Kino kitalo, mmwe obutamanya gye yava ate nga nze yanzibula amaaso.
31 Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Tumanyi nti Katonda tawulira balina bibi, naye awulira abo abamutya era abakola by’ayagala.
32 From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
Ensi kasookedde ebaawo tewalabikangawo yali azibudde maaso ga muntu eyazaalibwa nga muzibe wa maaso. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing.
Kale omuntu ono eyanzibula amaaso singa teyava wa Katonda ekyo teyandikisobodde.”
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
Awo ne bamuboggolera nga bagamba nti, “Ggwe eyazaalirwa mu bibi, ggw’oyigiriza ffe?” Ne bamusindika ebweru.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?
Yesu n’ategeera nga bamusindise ebweru. Bwe yamusanga n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe okkiriza Omwana w’Omuntu?”
36 The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him?
Omusajja n’amubuuza nti, “Ssebo, y’aluwa mmukkirize?”
37 Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Omulabye, ye wuuyo ayogera naawe.”
38 Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.
Omusajja n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, nzikiriza!” N’amusinza.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind.
Awo Yesu n’agamba nti, “Najja mu nsi okusala omusango, abatalaba balabe, ate naabo abalaba babe bazibe ba maaso.”
40 And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, Are we blind also?
Abamu ku Bafalisaayo abaali bayimiridde awo bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo ne bamubuuza nti, “Ky’ogamba nti naffe tuli bazibe ba maaso?”
41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye should not have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Singa mubadde bazibe ba maaso, temwandibadde na kibi. Naye kubanga mugamba nti tulaba, ekibi kyammwe kyekiva kibasigalako.”
