John 9
1 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
Mgbe ọ na-agafe, ọ hụrụ otu nwoke kpuru ìsì site nʼafọ nne ya.
2 And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man 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 answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Jisọs sịrị, “Nwoke a emehieghị, ndị mụrụ ya emehiekwaghị, kama o kpuru ìsì ka ọrụ Chineke pụta ìhè na ndụ ya.
4 We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can 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 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,
Mgbe o kwusiri nke a, ọ bụsara ọnụ mmiri asụ nʼala gwakọta ya na aja, werekwa aja ahụ tee nwoke ahụ nʼanya.
7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back 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 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?"
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, "It is he." Others said, "He looks 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 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
Ha na-asị ya, “Olee otu anya gị sịrị meghee?”
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."
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 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
Ha sịrị ya, “Olee ebe nwoke ahụ nọ?” Ọ sịrị, “Amaghị m.”
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Ha dutere nwoke ahụ kpuru ìsì na mbụ nʼihu ndị Farisii.
14 Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Ma ọ bụ nʼụbọchị izuike ka Jisọs gwakọtara aja, jiri ya meghe anya ya.
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."
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 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.
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 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "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 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,
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, "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 His parents answered them, "We know that this 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 do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him. 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 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.
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, "He is of age. Ask him."
Nke a mere ndị mụrụ ya jiri sị, “Ọ bụ dimkpa, unu jụọ ya.”
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."
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 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."
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 They said to him, "What did he do 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 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?"
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 insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are 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 has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
Anyị mara na Chineke gwara Mosis okwu, ma gbasara nwoke a, anyị amaghị ebe o siri bịa.”
30 The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he 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 does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to 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 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone 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 this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
Ọ bụrụ na nwoke a esiteghị nʼebe Chineke nọ, ọ gaghị enwe ike ime ihe ọbụla.”
34 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw 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 had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in 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 answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
Ọ zara sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụ onye? Gwa m ka m nwe ike ikwere na ya.”
37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ị hụla ya ugbu a; onye gị na ya na-ekwurịta okwu bụ onye ahụ.”
38 He said, "Lord, I believe." and he worshiped him.
Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe m, ekwela m.” Ọ kpọrọ isiala nye ya.
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."
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 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "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 have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
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.”
