John 9
1 And, passing along, he saw a man, blind from birth.
Jesuh lama a ceh k’um üng, a hmi law üngkhyüh a mik müki khyang mat a hmuh.
2 And his disciples questioned him, saying—Rabbi! who sinned, this man or his parents, that, blind, he should be born?
Axüisawe naw, “Saja aw, a mik müa hmiki hin ua mkhyenaka phäha ni? Amäta mkhyenaka phäh aw, a nupaa ani mkhyenaka phäh aw?” ti lü, ami kthäh u.
3 Jesus answered—Neither, this man, sinned nor his parents; but…that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Jesuh naw, “Amäta mkhyenaka phäh am ni, a nupaa mkhyenaka phäha pi am ni. Ani üng Pamhnama johit khyange naw ami hmuh vaia phäha ni.
4 We must needs be working the works of him that sent me, while it is, day: There cometh a night, when, no one, can work.
“A mhnüp ham üng na tüih lawkia khut mi pawh khai. U naw pi khut am a binak theia mthan pha law hlüki.
5 Whensoever I may be, in the world, I am, the light, of the world.
“Khawmdeka khana ka vea küt üng khawmdeka kvaia ka kyaki,” ti lü, a jah msang.
6 These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes;
Acukba a pyen käna, mdek üng a mci msawh lü, a mci am mdek mthaü lü acun am a mikmüa mik a jut.
7 and said unto him—Withdraw! wash in the pool of Siloam, —which is to be translated, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came, seeing.
A mikmü üng, “Cit lü Silawng Tuili üng va hmaieia,” a ti. (Silawng ti cun “Tüih” tinak ni) Acunüng, cit lü va hmaiei se a mik vai law beki.
8 The neighbours, therefore, and they who used to observe him aforetime—that he was, a beggar, were saying—Is not, this, he that used to sit and beg?
A impei locenge ja, ahlana täei se hmu khawikie naw, “Hin hin ngaw lü täei khawiki am niki aw?” ami ti.
9 Others, were saying—’Tis, the same. Others, were saying—Nay! but he is, like him. He, was saying—I, am he.
Avang naw, “Acun ni” ami ti. Avang naw, “Acun ta am ni” a tängpüi ni” ami ti. Amät naw, “Kei acun ni” a ti.
10 So they were saying unto him—How [then] were thine eyes opened?
Amimi naw, “Na mik ihawkba vai beki?” ami ti.
11 He, answered—The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I received sight.
Ani naw, “Jesuh ami ti naw mdek mthaü lü, ka mik üng jut lü, ‘Silawng Tuilia va cit lü va hmaieia’ ti se, cit lü hmaiei ngü se ka mik vai law beki,” a ti.
12 And they said unto him—Where is, He? He saith—I know not.
“Ani hawia veki ni?” ti lü a mi kthäh üng, ani naw “Am ksing veng” a ti be.
13 They bring him unto the Pharisees—him at one time blind.
A mik mü khawikia khyang cun Phariseea veia ami cehpüi.
14 Now it was Sabbath, on the day when Jesus made, the clay, and opened his eyes.
Jesuh naw mdek mthaü lü a mik a vaisak bea mhnüp cun Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki.
15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them—Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed, —and do see.
Pharisee naw, a mik a vai law bea mawng kthäh u se, ani naw, “Lawk am ka mik na nawi se, hmaei lü, ka hmu law be theiki ni,” a ti.
16 Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying—This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not. Others, [however] were saying—How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? And there was, a division, among them.
Pharise avang naw, “Acuna khyang naw Sabbath am a jeiha phäha, Pamhnama üngkhyüh lawki ta am ni khü vai,” ami ti. Avang naw, “Khyangka naw ihawkba hina mäih müncanksee jah pawh khawh khai aw?” ami ti. Phariseea ksunga ngtainak ve lawki.
17 So they were saying unto the blind man, again, What dost, thou, say concerning him, in that he opened thine eyes? And, he, said—A prophet, is he.
Acun käna, amikmü üng, “Na mik a vaisak bea phäha, nang naw ihawkba ani na ngaiki ni?” ti u lü, ami kthäh betü üng, “Ani cun Sahma ni” a ti.
18 The Jews, therefore, did not believe, concerning him, that he was blind, and received sight, —until they called the parents of him that had received sight,
Judah ngvaie naw, a mik vai law bekia nu ja pa, am ami jah khü ham veia, amikmü khawiki vai law beki ni tia mawng am kcang na u.
19 and questioned them, saying—Is, this, your son, of whom, ye, say, that blind, he was, born? How, then, seeth he, even now?
A nu ja a paa üng, “Hin hin nami ca, amikmüa hmi lawki nami ti khawi am niki aw? Ihawkba atuh hmu law be theiki ni?” ti u lü, ami jah kthäh.
20 His parents, therefore, answered, and said—We know that, this, is our son, and that, blind, he was born;
A nu ja pa naw, “Hin kami ca ti kami ksingki, amikmüa hmi lawki ti pi kami ksing.
21 But, how he now seeth, we know not, or, who opened his eyes, we, know not, —Question, him, he is, of age, he, concerning himself, shall speak.
Cunsepi, ihawkba atuh hmu law beki ti am kani ksingki, hmuhsak beki pi am ksing ve ning. Amät kthäh ua; khyang teh lawki; amäta mawng cun amät naw pyen se,” ti ni lü, ani jah msang.
22 These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews, —for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made.
A nu ja pa naw Judah ngvaie ami jah kyüha phäha acukba ani pyena kyaki. Am acun ham üng pi, “Ani cun Mesijah ni” tiki naküt cun sinakok üngkhyüh ksät vaia ami mkhyäp thüpthüpa kyaki.
23 For this cause, his parents said—He is, of age, —question him.
Acunakyase, a nu ja pa naw, “Khyang teh lawki, amät kthäh ua” ani tia kyaki.
24 So they called the man a second time—[him] who had been blind, and said unto him—Give glory unto God! We know that, this man, is, a sinner.
Anghngihnaka amikmüa hmi lawki cun khü betü u lü, “Pamhnama veia akcang ka pyen khai tia sitih taa, nang ning mdaw beki cun khyangka ti kami ksingki ni,” ami ti.
25 He, therefore, answered—Whether he is a sinner, I know not: One thing, I know, —That, whereas I was, blind, now, I see!
Ani naw, “Khyangka a ni ja am a ni am ksing nawng. Mat ka ksing cun ahlana ka mik mü khawiki, tuh ka hmu law beki,” ti lü, a jah msang.
26 They said, therefore, unto him—What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes?
Amimi naw, “Na khana i ja a pawh? Na mik ihawkba ja a vaisak be?” ti lü, ami kthäh.
27 He answered them—I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples?
Ani naw, “Cükta üng ka ning jah mtheh päng, am nami na ngai hlüki. Ise nami ngja hlü betükie ni? Nangmi pi axüisaw hea nami thawn hngaa nami yüki aw?” ti lü, a jah msang.
28 And they reviled him, and said—Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses’, disciples: —
Amimi naw ksekha na u lü, “Nang hin ania xüisawa na kyaki ni, keimi ta Mosia axüisaw he ni.
29 We, know, that, unto Moses, hath God spoken; but, as for this man, we know not whence he is.
“Pamhnam naw Mosi ngthuhei püiki ti kami ksingki, cunüngpi Jesuh hawia ka naw lawki ti am ksing u nawng,” ami ti.
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.
“Ani naw ka mik vaisak be kyaw sepi, ani hawia khyüh lawki ti am nami ksing hin müncankse ni.
31 We know that, God, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth.
“Pamhnam naw khyangkaa ngthu am ngai khawiki ti mi ksingki. Acunsepi, au naw pi Pamhnam mhläkphya na lü a ngjakhlü a pawh üng Pamhnam naw ngaih pet khawiki.
32 Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born. (aiōn g165)
“Khawmdek a ngtüi üngkhyüh, a mikmüa hmi lawki vaisak be ve u, tia u naw am mi ngja khawi. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could have done nothing.
“Hin hin Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawki am a ni ta, i am pawh khawh,” ti lü, a jah msang.
34 They answered and said unto him—In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out.
Amimi naw, “Na hmi law üng, mkhyenake am hmi law lü, na jah mthei lawki aw?” ti u lü, msangkie naw, Sinakok üngka naw ami ksät u.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and, finding him, said—Dost, thou, believe on the son of Man?
Ksätkie ti Jesuh naw ksing lü hmuki naw, “Khyanga Capa na jumki aw?” ti lü a kthäh.
36 He answered [and said]—And, who, is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?
Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, ka jum law vaia, ani u ni na mtheha?” a ti.
37 Jesus said unto him—Thou hast both seen him and, he that is speaking with thee, is, he.
Jesuh naw, “Ani na hmu päng ni, atuh ning ngthuheipüiki hin ani ni,” a ti.
38 And, he, said—I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.
Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, jum veng,” ti lü, Jesuh hjawkhahki.
39 And Jesus said—For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind.
Jesuh naw, “Ngthumkhyah khaia hina khawmdek khana ka lawki, amikmüea mik vai be lü, a mik kvaiea mik a münak vaia ka lawki ni,” a ti.
40 They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him—Are, we also, blind?
Ahlawnga vekia Pharisee naw, acun ngja u lü, “Keimi pi kami mik mü hngaki aw?” ti lü, ami kthäh u.
41 Jesus said unto them—If, blind, ye had been, ye had not had sin; but, now, ye say, We see, your sin, abideth.
Jesuh naw, “Nami mik a mü üng mkhyenak am ta uki. Acunsepi, atuh ‘Kami mik vaiki’ nami tia phäh nami mkhyekatki” a ti.
