John 9
1 And, passing along, he saw a man, blind from birth.
Lino Jesu nakayinda, wakabona mwalumi moofu kuzwa kubuzyalwe bwakwe.
2 And his disciples questioned him, saying—Rabbi! who sinned, this man or his parents, that, blind, he should be born?
Basikwiya bakwe bakamubuzya, “Muyisyi, ngwani wakabisya, ngooyu mwalumi nakuti mbazyali bakwe, kuti azyalwe kali moofu?”
3 Jesus answered—Neither, this man, sinned nor his parents; but…that the works of God should 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 needs be working the works of him that sent me, while it is, day: There cometh a night, when, no one, can work.
Tulelede kubeleka milimu ya oyo wakandituma nelichili isikati. Mansiku alasika nikuyochala katachikwe uyobeleka.
5 Whensoever I may be, in the world, I am, the light, of the world.
Ninchili munyika, ndime mumuni wenyika.”
6 These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes;
Nakamaninsya Jesu kwamba ezi zintu, wakaswida anyika, wakakanda bulongo amate, akunanika bulongo kumeso akwe.
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.
Wakamba kuti kulinguwe, “Yinka, ukasambe mukalambwa kaku kaku Silawomi” (kupandululwa kuti “kutumwa”). Lino mwalumi wakayinka, wakusamba, wakubola wabbwazula.
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?
Mpawo mbakayakilene aabo mwalumi abakamubonwene kali mukumbizi bakalikwamba kuti, “teensi nguwe na mwalumi oyu walimukumbizi?”
9 Others, were saying—’Tis, the same. Others, were saying—Nay! but he is, like him. He, was saying—I, am he.
Bamwi bakamba kuti, “Nguwe.” bamwi bakati, “pe, pesi ukozyania awe biyo.” Pesi wakati, “Ndime.”
10 So they were saying unto him—How [then] were thine eyes opened?
Bakamba kuti kulinguwe, “mpawo bakamubuzya kuti ajulika buti meso?”
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.
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 unto him—Where is, He? He saith—I know not.
Bakati kulinguwe, “Ulikuli?” wakasandula, “Tandizi pe.”
13 They bring him unto the Pharisees—him at one time blind.
Bakeeta mwalumi wakali moofu kubaFalisi.
14 Now it was Sabbath, on the day when Jesus made, the clay, and opened his eyes.
Eno lyakali zuba lyakwe lyesabata. Jesu mpakakanda bulongo akumujula menso akwe.
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.
Aboobo ba Falisi bakamubuzya kuti watambula buti kubona kwako. Wakati kulimbabo, wabika bulongo mumenso angu, ndakakusamba, alimwi lino ndabona.”
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.
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 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.
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 was blind, and received sight, —until they called the parents of him that had received sight,
Nkambo kako baJuda takwepe nibakasyoma kuti nguwakali moofu alimwi kuti watambula kubona.
19 and questioned them, saying—Is, this, your son, of whom, ye, say, that blind, he was, born? How, then, seeth he, even now?
Bakakubuzya bazyali, “Oyu ngumwana ngumwana wenu na ulokwamba kuti wakazyalwa kali moofu?
20 His parents, therefore, answered, and said—We know that, this, is our son, and that, blind, he was born;
Lino wabona?” Bazyali bakwe bakasandula, “Tuzi biyo kuti oyu mwana wesu akuti wakazyalwa kali moofu.
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.
Kuti wazobona buti tatuzipe, akuti ngwani wajula menso akwe, tatuzipe. Amumubuzye, mupati. Ulakonzya kulyambwida lwakwe.”
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.
Bazyali bakwe bakaamba ayamakani, nkambo bakali kuyowa ba Juda nkambo ma Juda bakali kuzumina kuti kufumbwa utazumine kuti ngu Kkilisitu, ulatandwa muchikombelo.
23 For this cause, his parents said—He is, of age, —question him.
Nkambo kazezi, nchibakati, “Mupati, ulalyambwida.”
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.
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, therefore, unto him—What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes?
Mpawo bakaamba kuti kulinguwe, “ninzi nchaachita kulinduwe? Waajula buti menso aako?”
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?
Wakasandula, “ndamwambila kale, alimwi tamuswilizyi pe! Nkambonzi nimuyanda kumvwa lubo? Tamuyandi pe kuba basikwiiya bakwe, mulayandana?
28 And they reviled him, and said—Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses’, disciples: —
Bakamutukila alimwi bakati, “Nduwe sikwiiya wakwe, pesi swebo tulibasikwiiya ba Mozesi.
29 We, know, that, unto Moses, hath God spoken; 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 unto them—Why! Herein, is, the marvel: That, ye, know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.
Mwalumi wakasandula akuti kulimbabo, “Eechi chilayoosya, kuti tamumuwi nkwazwa, alimwi wajula menso angu.
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.
Tulizi kuti Leza taswilizyi pe kuli basizibi, pesi umwi kuti walipeda akuchita luyando lwakwe, ulamuswilizya.
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)
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 have done nothing.
Kuti mwalumi oyu katazwi kuli Leza, natakwe anchakonzya kuchita.”
34 They answered and said unto him—In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, 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, finding him, said—Dost, thou, believe on 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, Sir, that I may believe on him?
Wakasandula kuti, “Ngwani, Mwami, kuti ndimusyome.
37 Jesus said unto him—Thou hast both seen him and, he that is speaking with thee, is, he.
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “Wamubona, alimwi nguwe ngulokwambula awe.
38 And, he, said—I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.
Mwalumi wakati, “Mwami, ndasyoma, “alimwi wakamukomba.
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.
Jesu wakati, “Nkambo kakubeteka nchindasikamunyika ino kuti abo bataboni babone alimwi kuti babona babe boofu.”
40 They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him—Are, we also, blind?
Bamwi ba Falisi bakali awe bakamvwa zintu eezi alimwi bakamubuzya kuti, “Tuliboofu na toonse?”
41 Jesus said unto them—If, blind, ye had been, ye had not had sin; but, now, ye say, We see, your sin, abideth.
Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, “Naa mwakali boofu, munoli kamutakwe chibi, pesi mwamba kuti, 'Tulabona, Aboobo zibi zyanu zilakkalila.
