John 9
1 And passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
Jesuh lama a ceh k’um üng, a hmi law üngkhyüh a mik müki khyang mat a hmuh.
2 and His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
Axüisawe naw, “Saja aw, a mik müa hmiki hin ua mkhyenaka phäha ni? Amäta mkhyenaka phäh aw, a nupaa ani mkhyenaka phäh aw?” ti lü, ami kthäh u.
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this one sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God may be revealed in him;
Jesuh naw, “Amäta mkhyenaka phäh am ni, a nupaa mkhyenaka phäha pi am ni. Ani üng Pamhnama johit khyange naw ami hmuh vaia phäha ni.
4 it is necessary for Me to be working the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night comes when no one is able to work:
“A mhnüp ham üng na tüih lawkia khut mi pawh khai. U naw pi khut am a binak theia mthan pha law hlüki.
5 when I am in the world, I AM [the] light of the world.”
“Khawmdeka khana ka vea küt üng khawmdeka kvaia ka kyaki,” ti lü, a jah msang.
6 Saying these things, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,
Acukba a pyen käna, mdek üng a mci msawh lü, a mci am mdek mthaü lü acun am a mikmüa mik a jut.
7 “Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,” which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came seeing;
A mikmü üng, “Cit lü Silawng Tuili üng va hmaieia,” a ti. (Silawng ti cun “Tüih” tinak ni) Acunüng, cit lü va hmaiei se a mik vai law beki.
8 the neighbors, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, “Is this not he who is sitting and begging?”
A impei locenge ja, ahlana täei se hmu khawikie naw, “Hin hin ngaw lü täei khawiki am niki aw?” ami ti.
9 Others said, “This is he”; and others, “He is like to him”; he himself said, “I am [he].”
Avang naw, “Acun ni” ami ti. Avang naw, “Acun ta am ni” a tängpüi ni” ami ti. Amät naw, “Kei acun ni” a ti.
10 They said, therefore, to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
Amimi naw, “Na mik ihawkba vai beki?” ami ti.
11 He answered and said, “A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight”;
Ani naw, “Jesuh ami ti naw mdek mthaü lü, ka mik üng jut lü, ‘Silawng Tuilia va cit lü va hmaieia’ ti se, cit lü hmaiei ngü se ka mik vai law beki,” a ti.
12 they said, therefore, to him, “Where is that One?” He says, “I have not known.”
“Ani hawia veki ni?” ti lü a mi kthäh üng, ani naw “Am ksing veng” a ti be.
13 They bring him who once [was] blind to the Pharisees,
A mik mü khawikia khyang cun Phariseea veia ami cehpüi.
14 and it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Jesuh naw mdek mthaü lü a mik a vaisak bea mhnüp cun Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki.
15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed—and I see.”
Pharisee naw, a mik a vai law bea mawng kthäh u se, ani naw, “Lawk am ka mik na nawi se, hmaei lü, ka hmu law be theiki ni,” a ti.
16 Certain of the Pharisees therefore said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath”; others said, “How is a man—a sinful one—able to do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
Pharise avang naw, “Acuna khyang naw Sabbath am a jeiha phäha, Pamhnama üngkhyüh lawki ta am ni khü vai,” ami ti. Avang naw, “Khyangka naw ihawkba hina mäih müncanksee jah pawh khawh khai aw?” ami ti. Phariseea ksunga ngtainak ve lawki.
17 They said to the blind man again, “You—what do you say of Him—that He opened your eyes?”
Acun käna, amikmü üng, “Na mik a vaisak bea phäha, nang naw ihawkba ani na ngaiki ni?” ti u lü, ami kthäh betü üng, “Ani cun Sahma ni” a ti.
18 And he said, “He is a prophet.” The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him who received sight,
Judah ngvaie naw, a mik vai law bekia nu ja pa, am ami jah khü ham veia, amikmü khawiki vai law beki ni tia mawng am kcang na u.
19 and they asked them, saying, “Is [this] your son, of whom you say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?”
A nu ja a paa üng, “Hin hin nami ca, amikmüa hmi lawki nami ti khawi am niki aw? Ihawkba atuh hmu law be theiki ni?” ti u lü, ami jah kthäh.
20 His parents answered them and said, “We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
A nu ja pa naw, “Hin kami ca ti kami ksingki, amikmüa hmi lawki ti pi kami ksing.
21 and how he now sees, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; he is of age, ask him; he himself will speak concerning himself.”
Cunsepi, ihawkba atuh hmu law beki ti am kani ksingki, hmuhsak beki pi am ksing ve ning. Amät kthäh ua; khyang teh lawki; amäta mawng cun amät naw pyen se,” ti ni lü, ani jah msang.
22 His parents said these things, because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed together, that if anyone may confess Him—Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;
A nu ja pa naw Judah ngvaie ami jah kyüha phäha acukba ani pyena kyaki. Am acun ham üng pi, “Ani cun Mesijah ni” tiki naküt cun sinakok üngkhyüh ksät vaia ami mkhyäp thüpthüpa kyaki.
23 because of this his parents said, “He is of age, ask him.”
Acunakyase, a nu ja pa naw, “Khyang teh lawki, amät kthäh ua” ani tia kyaki.
24 They called, therefore, the man who was blind a second time, and they said to him, “Give glory to God, we have known that this Man is a sinner”;
Anghngihnaka amikmüa hmi lawki cun khü betü u lü, “Pamhnama veia akcang ka pyen khai tia sitih taa, nang ning mdaw beki cun khyangka ti kami ksingki ni,” ami ti.
25 he answered, therefore, and said, “If He is a sinner—I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.”
Ani naw, “Khyangka a ni ja am a ni am ksing nawng. Mat ka ksing cun ahlana ka mik mü khawiki, tuh ka hmu law beki,” ti lü, a jah msang.
26 And they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
Amimi naw, “Na khana i ja a pawh? Na mik ihawkba ja a vaisak be?” ti lü, ami kthäh.
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to hear [it] again? Do you also wish to become His disciples?”
Ani naw, “Cükta üng ka ning jah mtheh päng, am nami na ngai hlüki. Ise nami ngja hlü betükie ni? Nangmi pi axüisaw hea nami thawn hngaa nami yüki aw?” ti lü, a jah msang.
28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, “You are His disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;
Amimi naw ksekha na u lü, “Nang hin ania xüisawa na kyaki ni, keimi ta Mosia axüisaw he ni.
29 we have known that God has spoken to Moses, but this One—we have not known where He is from.”
“Pamhnam naw Mosi ngthuhei püiki ti kami ksingki, cunüngpi Jesuh hawia ka naw lawki ti am ksing u nawng,” ami ti.
30 The man answered and said to them, “Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that you have not known where He is from, and He opened my eyes!
“Ani naw ka mik vaisak be kyaw sepi, ani hawia khyüh lawki ti am nami ksing hin müncankse ni.
31 And we have known that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone may be a worshiper of God, and may do His will, He hears him;
“Pamhnam naw khyangkaa ngthu am ngai khawiki ti mi ksingki. Acunsepi, au naw pi Pamhnam mhläkphya na lü a ngjakhlü a pawh üng Pamhnam naw ngaih pet khawiki.
32 from the age it was not heard that anyone opened eyes of one who has been born blind; (aiōn g165)
“Khawmdek a ngtüi üngkhyüh, a mikmüa hmi lawki vaisak be ve u, tia u naw am mi ngja khawi. (aiōn g165)
33 if this One were not from God, He were not able to do anything.”
“Hin hin Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawki am a ni ta, i am pawh khawh,” ti lü, a jah msang.
34 They answered and said to him, “In sins you were born altogether, and you teach us?” And they cast him forth outside.
Amimi naw, “Na hmi law üng, mkhyenake am hmi law lü, na jah mthei lawki aw?” ti u lü, msangkie naw, Sinakok üngka naw ami ksät u.
35 Jesus heard that they cast him forth outside, and having found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
Ksätkie ti Jesuh naw ksing lü hmuki naw, “Khyanga Capa na jumki aw?” ti lü a kthäh.
36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, ka jum law vaia, ani u ni na mtheha?” a ti.
37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He who is speaking with you is He”;
Jesuh naw, “Ani na hmu päng ni, atuh ning ngthuheipüiki hin ani ni,” a ti.
38 and he said, “I believe, Lord,” and worshiped Him.
Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, jum veng,” ti lü, Jesuh hjawkhahki.
39 And Jesus said, “I came to this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.”
Jesuh naw, “Ngthumkhyah khaia hina khawmdek khana ka lawki, amikmüea mik vai be lü, a mik kvaiea mik a münak vaia ka lawki ni,” a ti.
40 And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and they said to Him, “Are we also blind?”
Ahlawnga vekia Pharisee naw, acun ngja u lü, “Keimi pi kami mik mü hngaki aw?” ti lü, ami kthäh u.
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you were not having had sin, but now you say—We see, therefore your sin remains.”
Jesuh naw, “Nami mik a mü üng mkhyenak am ta uki. Acunsepi, atuh ‘Kami mik vaiki’ nami tia phäh nami mkhyekatki” a ti.
