< John 9 >

1 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
A khum phai vaengah a thaang lamkah mik aka dael hlang te a hmuh.
2 And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “Rhabbi, unim aka tholh tih mikdael la a thaang, amah a, a manu napa a?” a ti uh.
3 Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Jesuh loh, “Amah moenih, a manu napa khaw a tholh moenih. Tedae anih dongah Pathen kah bisai te a tueng ham dongah ni.
4 We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
Khohnin a om vaengah kai aka tueih kah bi te mamih loh saii ham a kuek. Khoyin ha pawk vaengah saii ham coeng mahpawh.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
Diklai ah ka om vaengah, Diklai kah vangnah la ka om,” a ti nah.
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,
Hekah he a thui vanneh diklai a timthoeih tih timtui neh dikpo a bol. Te phoeiah dikpo te a mik dongah a hluk pah.
7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Cet lamtah Siloam tuibuem ah sil,” a ti nah. Te tah a tueih coeng te a thuingaih. Te dongah cet tih a silh phoeiah miktueng la ha pawk.
8 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?"
Te dongah imben rhoek neh anih te buhbih ni tila aka hmu noek rhoek loh, “Ngol tih buh aka bih te anih moenih a,” a ti uh.
9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
A tloe rhoek loh, “Anih ni,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Moenih, tedae anih phek la om,” a ti uh. Amah loh, “Kai kamah ni,” a ti nah.
10 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
Te dongah anih te, “Te koinih na mik te metlam a tueng?” a ti nauh.
11 He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
Te long te, “Jesuh la a khue uh hlang pakhat loh dikpo a bol tih kai mik a hluk. Te phoeiah kamah te, “Silaom la cet lamtah sil,’ a ti. Te dongah ka cet tih ka silh vaengah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
12 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
Te vaengah, “Anih te melam a om,” a ti na uh hatah, “Ka ming pawh,” a ti nah.
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Hnukbuet kah mikdael te Pharisee rhoek taengah a khuen uh.
14 Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Jesuh loh dikpo a bol tih a mik a tueng sak vaengkah khohnin te Sabbath la om.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."
Te dongah Pharisee rhoek long khaw metlam a tueng thai tila anih te koep a dawt uh. Te long te amih taengah, “Ka mik ah dikpo a hluk tih ka silh hatah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.
Te dongah Pharisee rhoek khuikah hlangvang loh, “Sabbath te a tuem pawt dongah anih te Pathen taeng lamkah hlang moenih,” a ti uh. Tedae a tloe rhoek loh, “Hlang tholh loh hebang miknoek metlam a saii thai eh?” a ti uh tih amamih ah paekboenah la om.
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
Te dongah mikdael te, “Na mik a tueng sak dongah anih kawng balae na thui eh?”koep a ti na uh hatah, “Anih tah tonghma ni,” a ti nah.
18 The Jewish leaders therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
Judah rhoek loh anih mikdael la om tih koep tueng tila a tangnah uh pawt dongah mik aka tueng coeng kah a manu napa te luemluem a khue uh.
19 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
Te phoeiah amih roi te a dawt uh tih, “Anih he na capa ni nama? Anih ni mikdael la thaang na ti nama? Te koinih metlam a hmuh tarha?,” a ti nauh.
20 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Te dongah a manu napa loh a doo rhoi tih, “Anih he ka ca la om tih mikdael la a thaang te ka ming rhoi.
21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."
Tedae metla a tueng tarha khaw ka ming rhoi pawh. A mik aka ong pah te khaw ka ming pawh. Amah te dawt uh a lungcuei coeng. Amah kawng te amah loh a thui bitni,” a ti rhoi.
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jewish leaders; for the Jewish leaders had already agreed that if anyone would confess him as the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
A manu napa loh Judah rhoek te a rhih dongah ni te te a thui. Khat khat long ni Khrih te a phoei atah a hael om saeh tila laJudah rhoek loh oepsoeh la a kotluep uh.
23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
Te dongah ni a manu napa loh, “A lungcuei coeng amah te dawt uh,” a ti nah rhoi.
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
Te dongah mikdael la aka om hlang te a pabae la a khue uh tih, “Anih te hlang tholh ni tila mamih loh m'ming uh dongah Pathen te thangpomnah pae lah,” a ti nauh.
25 He therefore answered, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."
Te long khaw, “Hlang tholh la a om khaw ka ming pawh. Pakhat ka ming tah mikdael la aka om loh ka hmuh coeng,” a ti nah.
26 They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
Te dongah amah te, “Na taengah balae a saii? Na mik te metlam a tueng sak?” a ti nauh.
27 He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not also want to become his disciples, do you?"
Amih te, “Nangmih taengah ka thui coeng dae na yaak uh moenih. Ba ham nim koep yaak ham na ngaih uh. Nangmih khaw anih hnukbang la om ham na ngaih uh pawt nim?” a ti nah.
28 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Te vaengah anih te ol a bai uh tih, “Namah la anih kah hnukbang la na om, kaimih tah Moses kah hnukbang rhoek ni.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
Pathen loh Moses a voek te ka ming uh. Tedae anih me lamkah a phoe khaw ka ming uh moenih,” a ti nauh.
30 The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
Tekah hlang loh amih te a doo tih, “A khuet la a om lalah me lamkah ha phoe khaw na ming uh pawt te. Tedae ka mik he n'dai sak coeng.
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.
Pathen loh hlangtholh rhoek kah ol te a hnatun moenih. Tedae Pathen aka hinyahkung pakhat te om tih a kongaih a saii atah anih ol a hnatun pah te m'ming.
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
Mikdael la aka thang khat khat kah mik koep tueng tila khosuen lamkah n'yaak noek moenih. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
Pathen taeng lamkah anih ha om pawt koinih saii thai loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
34 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out.
Te dongah anih te a doo uh tih, “Nang tholh hoeng la na thaang tih nang loh kaimih nan thuituen van,” a ti na uh phoeiah amah te phawn a vai uh.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
Anih phawn poengla a haek uh te Jesuh loh a yaak phoeiah anih te a hmuh tih, “Hlang capa te na tangnah a?” a ti nah.
36 He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
Te long te a doo tih, “Boeipa, amah te ta, te vaengah anih te ka tangnah mako?” a ti nah.
37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
Jesuh loh anih te, “Anih te na hmuh tih nang taengah aka cal te anih ni,” a ti nah.
38 He said, "Lord, I believe." and he worshiped him.
Te dongah, “Boeipa, kan tangnah,” a ti nah tih a bawk.
39 Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."
Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Laitloeknah ham he Diklai la ka pawk coeng. Te daengah ni aka hmu pawt rhoek loh a hmuh vetih aka hmuh loh mikdael la a om eh?,” a ti nah.
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
Tekah te a taengkah aka om Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh. Te vaengah amah te, “Kaimih khaw mikdael la ka om uh pawt nim?” a ti nauh.
41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
Jesuh loh, “Mikdael la na om uh koinih tholhnah na khueh uh mahpawh. Tedae tahae ah ka miktueng na ti uh dongah nangmih kah tholhnah te naeh pueng,” a ti nah.
