John 9
1 And as he was passing along, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
Lino Jesu nakayinda, wakabona mwalumi moofu kuzwa kubuzyalwe bwakwe.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Basikwiya bakwe bakamubuzya, “Muyisyi, ngwani wakabisya, ngooyu mwalumi nakuti mbazyali bakwe, kuti azyalwe kali moofu?”
3 Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
Jesu wakasandula kuti, “teensi nguwepe wakachita chibi, nikuba bazyali bakwe, pesi kuti milimu ya Leza iyubununwe mulinguwe.
4 We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night is coming, when no one can work.
Tulelede kubeleka milimu ya oyo wakandituma nelichili isikati. Mansiku alasika nikuyochala katachikwe uyobeleka.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Ninchili munyika, ndime mumuni wenyika.”
6 Having thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,
Nakamaninsya Jesu kwamba ezi zintu, wakaswida anyika, wakakanda bulongo amate, akunanika bulongo kumeso akwe.
7 and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam; (which is, when translated, Sent.) He went away therefore, and washed and came seeing.
Wakamba kuti kulinguwe, “Yinka, ukasambe mukalambwa kaku kaku Silawomi” (kupandululwa kuti “kutumwa”). Lino mwalumi wakayinka, wakusamba, wakubola wabbwazula.
8 The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him as a beggar, said, Is not this he that sits and begs?
Mpawo mbakayakilene aabo mwalumi abakamubonwene kali mukumbizi bakalikwamba kuti, “teensi nguwe na mwalumi oyu walimukumbizi?”
9 Some said, This is he. Others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
Bamwi bakamba kuti, “Nguwe.” bamwi bakati, “pe, pesi ukozyania awe biyo.” Pesi wakati, “Ndime.”
10 They said therefore to him How then were thine eyes opened?
Bakamba kuti kulinguwe, “mpawo bakamubuzya kuti ajulika buti meso?”
11 He answered, The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam, and wash. I went therefore and washed, and received sight.
Wakasandula, mwalumi utegwa Jesu wakakkanda bulongo akubunanika mumeso angu akwamba kuti kulindime, Ýinka ku Silawomi ukasamb. 'Lino ndakayinka akuyosamba, alimwi ndakatambula kubona kwangu.
12 And they said to him, Where is that man? He saith, I do not know.
Bakati kulinguwe, “Ulikuli?” wakasandula, “Tandizi pe.”
13 They bring to the Pharisees him who had once been blind.
Bakeeta mwalumi wakali moofu kubaFalisi.
14 And the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the sabbath.
Eno lyakali zuba lyakwe lyesabata. Jesu mpakakanda bulongo akumujula menso akwe.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and I see.
Aboobo ba Falisi bakamubuzya kuti watambula buti kubona kwako. Wakati kulimbabo, wabika bulongo mumenso angu, ndakakusamba, alimwi lino ndabona.”
16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs. And there was a division among them.
Bamwi baFalisi bakati oyu mwalumi tazwi kuli Leza nkambo tabambi buzuba bwaSabata.” Bamwi bakati, “Anga wakonzya buti mwalumi sizibi kuchita zitondezyo zili boobu?” Lino kwakaba kwanzana akati kabo.
17 They say therefore to the blind man again, What dost thou say of him for having opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
Bakamubuzya moofu alimwi kuti, uwamba buti anguwe, mbwakajula menso aako?” Mwalumi moofu wakati, “Musinsimi.”
18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
Nkambo kako baJuda takwepe nibakasyoma kuti nguwakali moofu alimwi kuti watambula kubona.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?
Bakakubuzya bazyali, “Oyu ngumwana ngumwana wenu na ulokwamba kuti wakazyalwa kali moofu?
20 His parents, answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Lino wabona?” Bazyali bakwe bakasandula, “Tuzi biyo kuti oyu mwana wesu akuti wakazyalwa kali moofu.
21 but by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not; ask him, he is of age; he will speak for himself.
Kuti wazobona buti tatuzipe, akuti ngwani wajula menso akwe, tatuzipe. Amumubuzye, mupati. Ulakonzya kulyambwida lwakwe.”
22 This his parents said, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should acknowledge him as the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
Bazyali bakwe bakaamba ayamakani, nkambo bakali kuyowa ba Juda nkambo ma Juda bakali kuzumina kuti kufumbwa utazumine kuti ngu Kkilisitu, ulatandwa muchikombelo.
23 Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.
Nkambo kazezi, nchibakati, “Mupati, ulalyambwida.”
24 They therefore called a second time the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
Lino bakamwita lwabili mwalumi wakali moofu akuti kuli nguwe, “kupa bulemu kuli Leza. Tulizi kuti oyu mwalumi ngu sizibi.”
25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
Mpawo mwalumi wakasandula, “Tandizi pe kuti na ngu sizibi. Chintu chimwi nchinzi: Nkuti ndakali moofu, lino ndabona.”
26 They said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?
Mpawo bakaamba kuti kulinguwe, “ninzi nchaachita kulinduwe? Waajula buti menso aako?”
27 He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hear; why would ye hear it again? Are ye also inclined to become his disciples?
Wakasandula, “ndamwambila kale, alimwi tamuswilizyi pe! Nkambonzi nimuyanda kumvwa lubo? Tamuyandi pe kuba basikwiiya bakwe, mulayandana?
28 They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.
Bakamutukila alimwi bakati, “Nduwe sikwiiya wakwe, pesi swebo tulibasikwiiya ba Mozesi.
29 We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
Tulizi kuti Leza waambula kuli Mozesi, pesi tatwizi kuti ooyu uzwa kuli.”
30 The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes.
Mwalumi wakasandula akuti kulimbabo, “Eechi chilayoosya, kuti tamumuwi nkwazwa, alimwi wajula menso angu.
31 We know that God heareth not sinners; but if any one is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Tulizi kuti Leza taswilizyi pe kuli basizibi, pesi umwi kuti walipeda akuchita luyando lwakwe, ulamuswilizya.
32 Since the world began, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)
Kuzwa nyika niyakalengwa takuna mvwigwa pe kuti naba omwe wakajula menso amuntu wakazyalwa kali moofu. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
Kuti mwalumi oyu katazwi kuli Leza, natakwe anchakonzya kuchita.”
34 They answered and said to him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
Bakasandula akwamba kuti kuli nguwe, “Wakazyaligwa muchibi, alimwi ulokuyisya ndiswe?” Mpawo bakamutontela aanze.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and he found him, and said, Dost thou believe in the Son of man?
Jesu wakamvwa kuti bamutandila aanze achikombelo. Wakamujana alimwi wakati, “Ulasyoma na mu Mwana a Muntu?”
36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
Wakasandula kuti, “Ngwani, Mwami, kuti ndimusyome.
37 Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “Wamubona, alimwi nguwe ngulokwambula awe.
38 And he said, I believe, Lord; and he prostrated himself before him.
Mwalumi wakati, “Mwami, ndasyoma, “alimwi wakamukomba.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world; that they who see not might see, and that they who see might become blind.
Jesu wakati, “Nkambo kakubeteka nchindasikamunyika ino kuti abo bataboni babone alimwi kuti babona babe boofu.”
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this, and said to him, Are we also blind?
Bamwi ba Falisi bakali awe bakamvwa zintu eezi alimwi bakamubuzya kuti, “Tuliboofu na toonse?”
41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see. Your sin remaineth.
Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, “Naa mwakali boofu, munoli kamutakwe chibi, pesi mwamba kuti, 'Tulabona, Aboobo zibi zyanu zilakkalila.
