John 9
1 And passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
Lino Yesu mpwalikwenda walabona muntu walasemwa kaliwashipilwa.
2 and His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
Beshikwiya bakendi balamwipusheti, “mwiyi, niyani walalubisha kwambeti muntuyu asemwe kaliwashipilwa? Sena nimwine nambi, nibashali bakendi?”
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this one sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God may be revealed in him;
Yesu walambeti, “Nteko kwambeti walasemwa kaliwashipilwa cebo ca bwipishi bwakendi, nambi bwipishi bwabashali bakendi sobwe. Nsombi kwambeti Lesa apewe bulemu kupitila mumuntuyu
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:
Nkakucili munshi twela kusebensa ncito njebalantumina Bata. Mashiku alesanga muntu wela kusebensa
5 when I am in the world, I AM [the] light of the world.”
Kandicili panshi pano, njame ndapanga mumuni bantu bonse.”
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,
Mpwalambeco, Yesu walasankila mata panshi, walakandila tumankatya nekumunanika mumenso muntu washipilwa
7 “Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,” which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came seeing;
Lino walamwambileti, “Koya usambe pakalishiba kaSiloyamu. Lina lyakwambeti Siloyamu lilapandululungeti mutumwa. Neco muntuyo walaya akusamba, walatatika kulanga mpwalikubwelela.”
8 the neighbors, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, “Is this not he who is sitting and begging?”
Popelapo baneshi nnebantu balikumubona nkasenga senga balambeti, “Sena uyu nte usa walikukute cinga cakusenga senga kaliwekala panshi?”
9 Others said, “This is he”; and others, “He is like to him”; he himself said, “I am [he].”
Bambi balambeti, “Ee endiye.” Nabambi balikwambeti, “Nteye, wakoshanakowa nendi.” Nsombi mwine walambeti, “Njame.”
10 They said, therefore, to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
Lino bantu basa balamwipusheti, “Nomba nicani capesheti utatike kubona?”
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”;
Nendi walambeti, “Muntu usa ngobakute kukuweti Yesu, walakandila bulongo nekunanika mumenso mwakame nekung'ambileti, ‘Koya, usambe mukalishiba kaSiloamu. Mpondalasamba ndalatatika kubona.’”
12 they said, therefore, to him, “Where is that One?” He says, “I have not known.”
Neco basa bantu balamwipusheti, “Ingalino ulikupeyo?” Muntu usa walambeti, “Nkandikwishi nkwabele.”
13 They bring him who once [was] blind to the Pharisees,
Neco balamumanta usa muntu walikuba washipilwa nekuya nendi kuli bamakulene baBafalisi,
14 and it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
pakwinga busuba mbwalakandila bulongo mbwalashilikisha muntu washipilwa bwalikuba bwaSabata
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.”
Neco bamakulene ba Bafalisi balamwipusheti, “Obe watatika coni kubona?” Nendi walabambileti, “walananika bulongo mumenso, ndalaya akusamba, weco lino ndabononga.”
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.
Ba falisi nabambi balambeti, “Muntuyu nkalatumwa neLesa, pakwinga nkalakonkelenga mulawo wa Sabata.” Nsombi nabambi balambeti, “Muntu shikwinsa byaipa ngawinsa byeshikukankamanisha byamushobo uyu?” Neco palaba kupansana umo ne munendi.
17 They said to the blind man again, “You—what do you say of Him—that He opened your eyes?”
Kayi muntusa walikuba washipilwa Bafalisi balamwipusheti, “Nomba obe ulambangaponga aconi pali uyo lakushiliki?” Neye walambeti, “Ni Mushinshimi.”
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,
Nomba bamakulene ba Bayuda nkabalashometi muntuyo nkalikubona nomba lino labononga, mpaka balakuwa bamashali bakendi.
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?”
Mpobalesa balabepusheti, “Amwe uyu nimwanenu? sena nicakubinga walasemwa nkatalanga? Nomba kulabeconi kwambeti lino lakonshonga kubona?”
20 His parents answered them and said, “We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Bamashali bakendi balambeti, “Ncotwinshi afwe nikwambeti uyu nimwanetu, kayi walasemwa nkatalanga.
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.”
Lino nkatucinshi cilenshiki kwambeti atatike kubona, kayi nkatucinshi mobilenshikili. Kayi nkatumwinshi naniyani lamushiliki. Kamumwipusha mwine nimukulene.”
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;
Bashali balambeco cebo cakutina bamakulene baBayuda, abo balapangana kwambeti, muntu uliyense eshyakambeti Yesu eMupulushi Walaiwa, nibakamutandanye munga'nda yakupaililamo.
23 because of this his parents said, “He is of age, ask him.”
Weco bashali bakendi balambeti, “nimukulene, kamumwipushani.”
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”;
Popelapo bamakulene baBayuda balamukuwa katubilli usa muntu walikuba washipilwa, nekumwambileti, “Lumbila kuli Lesa, kayi wambe cakubinga. Afwe tucinshi kwambeti muntu usa nishikwinsa byaipa.”
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.”
Nendi walambeti, “nkandicinshi nanishikwinsa byaipa, ncenjinshi, nikwambeti nkandalikubona, nsombi lino ndabononga.”
26 And they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
Nabo balamwipusheti, “nomba walakwinsaconi pakukushilika?”
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?”
Nendi walabakumbuleti, “Ndamwambilikendi, nomba muliya kunyumfwa. Nomba nicani mulayandanga kubinyumfwa kayi? Mpani nenjamwe mulayandanga kuba beshikwiya bakendi?”
28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, “You are His disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;
Popelapo balatatika kumushingana, nekumwambileti, “Njobe shikwiya wakendi. Afwe njafwe beshikwiya baMose.
29 we have known that God has spoken to Moses, but this One—we have not known where He is from.”
Twashometi Lesa walambila Mose, nomba uyu nkatukwinshi nkwalafuma.”
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!
Muntuyo walakumbuleti, “Ndakankamananga kunyumfweti nkamukwinshi nkwalafuma, nsombi elamboneshe.
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;
Tucinshi kwambeti Lesa nkakute kunyumfwila bantu beshikwinsa byaipa. Lesa, ukute kunyumfwila bantu bakute kumunyumfwila nekwinsa mbyalayandanga.
32 from the age it was not heard that anyone opened eyes of one who has been born blind; (aiōn g165)
Kufuma kumatatikilo acishi kuliyawa muntu walanyumfwapo kwambeti muntu lashiliki muntu walasemwa kaliwashipilwa. (aiōn g165)
33 if this One were not from God, He were not able to do anything.”
Muntuyu nalabula kufuma kuli Lesa, naliyawa kucikonshya kwinsa ici cintu.”
34 They answered and said to him, “In sins you were born altogether, and you teach us?” And they cast him forth outside.
Lino nabo balambeti, “Obe walasemwa mubwipishi. Ulayandanga kutwiyisha?” Mpobalambeco balamutandanya mung'anda yakupaililamo.
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?”
Yesu mpwalanyumfweti bamakulene baBayuda balamutandanya munga'nda yakupaililamo usa walikuba washipilwa mpwalamucana walamwipusheti, “Wamushoma Mwana Muntu?”
36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
Nendi walambeti, “Mwami, ng'ambileni niyani kwambeti ndimushome!”
37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He who is speaking with you is He”;
Yesu walamwambileti, “Ulamubono kendi, endiye lambanga nenjobe.”
38 and he said, “I believe, Lord,” and worshiped Him.
Neye walamusuntamina nekwambeti, “Mwami, ndashomo.”
39 And Jesus said, “I came to this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.”
Lino Yesu walambeti, “Lombolosho ndondaleshila nikwambeti batabono babone, balabononga bashipilwe.”
40 And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and they said to Him, “Are we also blind?”
Bafalisi nabambi balikuba pepi, mpobalanyumfweco balamwipusheti, “Sena nenjafwe twashipilwa?”
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.”
Yesu walambeti, “Nemwanga mwashipilwa, nemuliya mulandu. Nsombi pakwinga mulalyambangeti, mulabononga, ekwambeti mucikute mulandu.”
