< John 9 >

1 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.
A khum phai vaengah a thaang lamkah mik aka dael hlang te a hmuh.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he should be 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 should be made manifest 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 that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man 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 When 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 thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,
Hekah he a thui vanneh diklai a timthoih tih timtui neh dikpo a bol. Te phoeiah dikpo te a mik dongah a hluk pah.
7 and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came 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 neighbours therefore, and they which saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
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 Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is 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 said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?
Te dongah anih te, “Te koinih na mik te metlam a tueng?” a ti na uh.
11 He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto 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, ‘Siloam la cet lamtah sil,’ a ti. Te dongah ka cet tih ka silh vaengah ka mik tueng,” a ti nah.
12 And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.
Te vaengah, “Anih te melam a om,” a ti na uh hatah, “Ka ming pawh,” a ti nah.
13 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
Hnukbuet kah mikdael te Pharisee rhoek taengah a khuen uh.
14 Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, 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. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do 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 keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a 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 They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And 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 Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that 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, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
Te phoeiah amih rhoi 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 na uh.
20 His parents answered and said, 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 seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall 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 These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should 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 la om saeh tila Judah rhoek loh oepsoeh la a kotluep uh.
23 Therefore said his parents, 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 a second time the man that was blind, and said unto 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 na uh.
25 He therefore answered, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas 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 therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
Te dongah amah te, “Na taengah balae a saii? Na mik te metlam a tueng sak?” a ti na uh.
27 He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?
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 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art 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 hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
Pathen loh Moses a voek te ka ming uh. Tedae anih me lamkah a phoe khaw ka ming uh moenih,” a ti na uh.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and [yet] he opened mine 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 heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.
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 was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man 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 and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast 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 cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
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 and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
Te long te a doo tih, “Boeipa, amah te ta, te vaengah anih te ka tangnah mako?” a ti nah.
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.
Jesuh loh anih te, “Anih te na hmuh tih nang taengah aka cal te anih ni,” a ti nah.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
Te dongah, “Boeipa, kan tangnah,” a ti nah tih a bawk.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they which see not may see; and that they which 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 which were with him heard these things, and said unto 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 na uh.
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.
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.
