John 9
1 As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
Yesu bu kaba mvioka, wumona mutu wumosi wubutuka phofo.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
Buna minlonguki miandi minyuvula: —Labi, nani wuvola masumu: mutu wawu voti bambuta bandi muingi kabutuka phofo e?
3 Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin nor his parents, but it happened so that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Nana, kadi sia ti niandi wuvola masumu voti zimbota ziandi vayi mu diambu di mavanga ma Nzambi mamonika mu niandi.
4 I must do the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
Mfueti vanga mavanga ma mutu wowo wuthuma muini bu wukidi. Buisibuawu yila mutu kalendi buela sala ko.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Bu ndikidi va nza, minu ndidi kiezila ki nza.
6 After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he rubbed the mud on the blind man's eyes
Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, wulobula madita va tsi, wusoba nyamba mu madita mandi; wuvinda nyamba beni mu meso ma phofo.
7 and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went and washed, and came away seeing.
Buna wunkamba: —Yenda ayi wukisukula ku buindi ki Silowe (“Silowe” dinsundula “wutumu”). Phofo beni wuyenda, wukisukula. Wutoma mona bu kaba mvutuka.
8 Then his neighbors and those who had previously seen that he was blind were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”
Batu bafikasana yandi ayi batu babo batuama kunzaba ti niandi wubanlombi, bayuvasana: —A beno! Niandi ko mutu wowo wubedi vuandanga ayi wubedi lombanga e?
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He is like him.” But he kept saying, “I am he.”
Bankaka batuba ti: —Niandi! Bankaka batuba ti: —Nana, niandi ko! Dedakana kuandi badedikini! Vayi niandi veka wuba kamba: —Minu kuandi!
10 So they said to him, “How were yoʋr eyes opened?”
Buna bawu banyuvula: —Vayi buevi buzibukididingi meso maku e?
11 He answered, “A man named Jesus made mud, rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and received my sight.”
Wuba kamba: —Mutu wowo bantedilanga Yesu, niandi sobikisidingi nyamba, vindidi yawu mu meso mama, bosi wukhembi ti yenda kisukula ku buindi ki Silowe. Buna ndiedingi, ndikisukudi ayi mbueningi.
12 They said to him, “Where is this man?” He said, “I do not know.”
Banyuvula: —Mutu beni kuevi kadi e? Wuba vutudila: —Ndikadi zaba!
13 So they brought the man who was once blind to the Pharisees.
Banata mutu wowo wuba phofo kuidi Bafalisi.
14 (Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened the man's eyes.)
Kiba lumbu ki saba kioki Yesu kasobikisa nyamba ayi kazibula meso ma phofo.
15 The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight, and he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.”
Bafalisi mamvawu banyuvula buevi meso mandi mazibukila. Niandi wuba vutudila ti: —Nyamba katudidingi mu meso mama, ndikisukudingi ayi ndilembo moni!
16 Then some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And a division arose among them.
Ndambu Bafalisi bakamba: —Mutu wawu kasi ba kuidi Nzambi ko. Bila kakinzikanga ko lumbu ki saba! Vayi bankaka bavutula: —Buna buevi nkua masumu kalenda vangila bikumu banga biobi e? Mu bila kioki batu bavasuka.
17 So they said to the blind man again, “What do yoʋ say about him, since he opened yoʋr eyes?” The man said, “He is a prophet.”
Babuela yuvula diaka phofo: —Ngeyo veka, mbi wuntuba mu diambu di mutu wowo e? Bila meso maku kazibudi. Wuba vutudila: —Niandi mbikudi kadi.
18 Now the Jews did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they called in his parents.
Bayuda basia wilukila ko ti niandi wuba phofo ayi basia wilukila ko ti meso mandi mazibukidi; diawu nate batumisa bambuta bandi.
19 They asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
Baba yuvula: —Bukiedika kuandi ti niawu niandi muanꞌeno wowo lueti kamba ti wubutuka phofo e? Vayi buna buevi kalembo monina buabu e?
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
Zimbuta bandi baba vutudila: —Tuzebi ti niawu niandi muanꞌeto, wubutuka phofo.
21 But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.”
Vayi buevi keka monina buabu, diodi tukadi dizaba ayi tukadi zaba nani wunzibudingi meso. Vayi weka wuyunduka, lunyuvula niandi veka bila maka tuba mambu momo madi mu niandi.
22 (His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess that Jesus was the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
Zimbuta bandi zitubila mambu momo bila boma zimona Bayuda; mu diambu di Bayuda bawizana ti woso mutu wela kikinina ti niandi Klisto, buna mutu wowo wela kanduku mu buela kotanga mu nzo yi lukutukunu.
23 That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”)
Diawu bambuta bandi zitubila ti: “weka wuyunduka, lunyuvula niandi veka.”
24 So for a second time they called in the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
Bafalisi batumisa mu khumbu yimmuadi mutu wowo wuba phofo, bankamba: —Vana nkembo kuidi Nzambi bila beto tuzebi ti mutu wuna widi nkua masumu!
25 He answered, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
Vayi mutu beni wuba vutudila: —Enati widi nkua masumu, diodi ndisi dizaba ko vayi diambu dimosi kaka nzebi: ndibedi phofo vayi buabu ndilembo moni.
26 Again they said to him, “What did he do to yoʋ? How did he open yoʋr eyes?”
Babuela kunyuvula diaka: —Vayi mbi kasidingi e? Buevi kazibudidingi meso maku e?
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”
Niandi wuba vutudila: —A mamveno diaka, keti ndilukembingi mambu moso! Vayi lumengi kueno wa! Bila mbi lutididi diaka kuma wila e? Bati beno mamveno lutidi kituka minlonguki miandi e?
28 Then they reviled him and said, “Yoʋ are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.
Bamfinga ayi bankamba: —Ngeyo widi nlonguki andi, vayi beto tuidi minlonguki mi Moyize!
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he is from.”
Beto tuzebi ti Nzambi wuyolukila mu Moyize, vayi mutu wowo, tuisi zaba ko kuevi kaba!
30 The man answered them, “Why, this is an amazing thing, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes!
Mutu beni wuba vutudila: —Didi ditsiminanga! Beno luisi zaba ko kuevi kaba, vayi zibudingi meso mama e.
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who is devout and does his will.
Muaki beto tuzebi ti Nzambi kawilanga bankua masumu ko vayi enati mutu weti kinzika Nzambi ayi weta vanga luzolo luandi buna niandi Nzambi keta wila.
Bila tuwilu ko ti mutu wuzibula meso ma mutu wubutuka phofo. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
Enati mutu wowo kasia ba kuidi Nzambi ko nganu kalendi vanga diambu dimosi ko.
34 They answered him, “Yoʋ were born entirely in sin, and yet yoʋ are trying to teach us?” And they threw him out.
Bawu bamvutudila: —Ngeyo wubutukila mu masumu ayi ngeyo weka kutulonga e? Bankuka ku nganda.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, “Do yoʋ believe in the Son of God?”
Yesu bu kawa ti bankuka ku nganda ayi bu kambakula, buna wunkamba: —Wunwilukila mu Muana Mutu e?
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
Buna mutu beni wumvutudila: —Tata, mutu beni nani muingi ndiwilukila mu niandi e?
37 Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have seen him, and the one speaking with yoʋ is he.”
Yesu wunkamba: —Wummueni, mutu wowo wulembo tubana yaku, niandi.
38 The man said, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped him.
Mutu wumvutudila: —Pfumu, nguilukidi! Wumbuongimina.
39 Then Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”
Yesu wunkamba: —Minu ndiyiza va nza yayi mu diambu di tsambusulu muingi bankambu monanga bamona ayi muingi bobo bammonanga bakituka baphofo.
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, “We are not also blind, are we?”
Bafalisi bankaka baba yandi bawa mambu momo, banyuvula: —Buevi, beto mamveto tuidi baphofo e?
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Enati luidi baphofo nganu luisi masumu ko. Vayi buabu lulembo tubi ti lulembo moni diawu masumu meno madi kaka yeno!
