John 9
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
Yesu da logoga ahoanoba, dunu da musa: si dofoiwane lalelegei lelebe ba: i.
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
Yesu Ea ado ba: su dunu da Ema amane adole ba: i, “Olelesu! Nowa ea wadela: i hou hamoiba: le, amo dunu da si dofoiwane lalelegebela: ? Ea wadela: i houba: le o eda amola eme, ela wadela: i houba: le agoane ba: sala: ?”
3 Jesus replied, “His being blind was not because he or his parents sinned. Instead, [he has been blind] in order that [people can] see the power of God {the power of God can be seen} as a result of [what will now happen] to him.
Yesu E bu adole i, “Amo si dofoi bai da ea, o eda amola ame ilia wadela: i hou hamoiba: le hame. Be bai da dunu eno ilia Gode Ea hadigi bagade hou ba: ma: ne, e da si dofoi.
4 While there is still time, I must do the work that the one who sent me [wants me to do. Just like daytime is followed by] nighttime when people do not work, [at the end of our lives] [MET] [it is too late for us to do what God wants].
Eso da diga: beba: le, Na Asunasisu Dunu Ea hawa: hamosu amo ninia hamomu da defea. Gasi da doaga: muba: le, hobea hawa: hamomu da hamedei ba: mu.
5 While I am still [living] in this world, I am the [one who enables people to know about God, like] [MET] [a] light enables the people in [MTY] this world [to see what is in the darkness].”
Na da osobo bagadega esalea, Na da osobo bagade ea hadigi dialebe!”
6 After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made [a little bit of] mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
Amo sia: nanu, Yesu da osoboga defo aduga: le, amo defo hano amola osobo bibiagone, fafu hamoi. E da amo fafu si dofoi dunu ea siga legei.
7 Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ‘sent;’ [just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus]). So the man went and washed [in the pool], and when he went home he was able to see!
Yesu da ema amane sia: i, “Dia odagi dodofemusa: , Siloua: me wayaboga masa.” (Siloua: me dawa: loma: ne da Asuna Asi). Amalalu, amo dunu da asili, hanoga dodofelalu, ea si fadegaiwane buhagi.
8 His neighbors and others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn’t he?”
Amalalu, ea na: iyado dunu, amola dunu amo da e musa: edegemusa: lelebe ba: i, ilia amane adole ba: i, “Dunu da musa: logo bega: muni edegemusa: fibi, amo dunu da waha misi dunula: ?”
9 Some said, “[Yes], he is.” Others said, “No, [he is not]. It is [just] a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
Mogili ilia amane sia: i, “E da amo dunu!” Be eno ilia amane sia: i, “Amo dunu hame. Be ea ba: su da amo dunu ea ba: su defele.” Be musa: si dofoi dunu hisu amane sia: i, “Na da amo dunu.”
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
Ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Amaiba: le, di da habodane wali siga ba: sala: ?”
11 He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam [pool] and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
E bu adole i, “Dunu Ea dio amo Yesu, E da fafu hamone, na siga legele, na da Siloua: me wayabo na odagi dodofemusa: masa: ne sia: i. Na da asili, odagi dodofelalu, na da bu hahawane ba: i.”
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
Ilia amane adole ba: i, “Amo dunu da habila: ?” E bu adole i, “Na hame dawa: !”
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
Amalalu, ilia da musa: si dofoi dunu amo Fa: lisi dunu ilima oule asi.
14 The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest). [The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
Yesu da fafu hamone, si dofoi dunu ea si fadegai, amo eso da Sa: bade eso galu.
15 So the Pharisees also asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I can see!”
Amo dunu ea bu ba: su hou habodane lai, Fa: lisi dunu da ema bu adole ba: i. E da ilima amane sia: i, “E da na siga fafu legei. Na odagi na dodofelalu, waha hahawane ba: sa.”
16 So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man [Jesus] disobeys [our rules about working] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, (he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?) [RHQ]” So they were divided.
Fa: lisi dunu mogili da amane sia: i, “Amo hamosu dunu da Godema hame misi. E da Sa: bade eso sema hame hamosu.” Be eno da amane sia: i, “Wadela: i hamosu dunu da musa: hame ba: su ilegei hou ninia waha ba: i, habodane hamoma: bela: ?” Amaiba: le ilia asigi dawa: su hisu hisu hamoiba: le, mogi.
17 So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “[I think] he is a prophet!” [So they told him to go].
Amalalu, Fa: lisi dunu da amo dunuma bu adole ba: i, “Amo dunu dia si fadegai di da sia: sa: Amaiba: le, amo dunu da nowa dunula: ?” E bu adole i, “E da balofede dunu.”
18 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was [now] able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man’s parents.
Be Yu ouligisu dunu, ilia da amo dunu da musa: si dofoi galu dafawaneyale hame dawa: i. Amaiba: le ilia da ea eda, amola ame, ilima misa: ne sia: i.
19 [When they got there], one of [the Jewish leaders] asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? [If that is true], how is he now able to see?”
Ilia da elama amane sia: i. “Amo dunu da alia manola: ? E da si dofoiwane lalelegei alia da sia: beba: le, e da wali abuliba: le bu ba: sala: ?”
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
Ea ada amola ame bu adole i, “E da ania mano ania dawa: E da si dofoiwane lalelegei, ania dawa:
21 But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough [to answer questions from authorities like you] He can tell you himself!”
Be e da habodane uhibala: ? Nowa dunu da e uhibela: ? amo ania hame dawa: Ema adole ba: ma! E da asigilaiba: le bu adole imunusa: dawa:”
22 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from [entering] their synagogues. His parents [knew that, so] they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Ela da Yu ouligisu dunu ilima beda: iba: le amane sia: i. Bai Yu ouligisu dunu ilia musa: amane sia: i dagoi, “Nowa dunu da Yesu da Mesaia dafawaneyale dawa: be sia: sea, amo ninia da sinagoge diasuga fadegale sefasimu.”
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
Amaiba: le ea ada amola ame, amane sia: i, “E da asigilaiba: le, ema adole ba: ma.”
24 So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. [When he got there], the [Jewish leaders] said to him, “Knowing that God [is listening] [IDM], tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
Fa: lisi dunu da musa: si dofoi dunu bu eno ilima misa: ne sia: i. Ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Di da Gode Ea Dioba: le, dafawane sia: fawane sia: ma. Dia uhinisu dunu da wadela: i hamosu dunu, amo ninia dawa: !”
25 He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
E bu adole i, “E da wadela: i hamosu dunu o dunu ida: iwane gala amo na hame dawa: Liligi afadafa fawane na dawa: Na da musa: hame ba: su be waha ba: lala.”
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
Ilia amane sia: i, “E da dima adi hamobela: ? Dia si dofoi E da habodane hahamobela: ?”
27 He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not [RHQ] pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? (Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though [IRO] you also want to become his disciples [RHQ]).”
E bu adole i, “Na da dilima olelei dagoi be dilia hamedafa nabi. Abuliba: le bu adoma: bela: ? Dilia, Ema fa: no bobogemusa: dawa: bela: ?”
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
Ilia da ema lasogole amane sia: i, “Di da amo dunu Ea ado ba: su dunu esala. Be ninia da Mousese ea ado ba: su dunu.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he [gets any authority] from!”
Gode da Mousesema sia: i, amo ninia dawa: Be amo dunu da habodili misi, ninia da hamedafa dawa:”
30 The man replied, “That is very surprising! You [say that] you do not know where he [gets any authority]. But he enabled me to see!
E bu adole i, “Goe da fofogadigisu liligi! Na si dofoi E hahamoi, be E da habodili misi amo dilia hame dawa:
31 We know that God does not help sinners [who ask God to help them]. Instead, he listens to [and helps] godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
Gode da wadela: i hamosu dunu hame naba, ninia dawa: Be Ea sia: nabawane hamosu dunu, amo ea sia: ne gadosu E da naba.
32 No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
Osobo bagade degabo hahamosu esoha amola fa: no, si dofoi dunu ea si bu hahamoi amo hou da hamedafa ba: su. (aiōn g165)
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
Amo dunu da Godema hame maha ganiaba, E da amo hou hamomu hamedela: loba:”
34 They replied to him, “You (were born [as a result of your parents’] sin [EUP]/bastard)! (Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!) [RHQ]” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
Ilia bu adole i, “Di da wadela: i hou amo ganodini lalelegele, asigilai dagoi. Di da abuliba: le ninima olelebela: ?” Amalalu, ilia da amo musa: si dofoi dunu, sinagoge diasuga fadegale fasi.
35 Jesus heard [people say] that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven [is the Messiah]?”
Amo hou nababeba: le, Yesu da amo dunu hogole ba: loba, ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da Dunu Egefe ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: sala: ?”
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
Musa: si dofoi dunu da bu adole i, “Hina! Na dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne, E da nowayale nama olelema!”
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
Yesu da ema amane sia: i, “Amo di da ba: i dagoi. E da wali dima sia: daha.”
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
Amo dunu da Yesuma muguni bugili, amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Na da dafawaneyale dawa: be!”
39 Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge [the people in the world]. The result will be that [those who realize that they do not know God’s truth will perceive it. That is like] [MET] [enabling] those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who [falsely think] [IRO] that [they understand God’s truth will never understand it. That is like] [MET] [people] who are blind remaining blind permanently.”
Yesu E amane sia: i, “Na da osobo bagadega fofada: musa: misi. Si dofoi dunu da bu ba: ma: ne, amola si noga: i dunu da mae ba: ma: ne, Na da misi dagoi.”
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are [like] blind people, are you?”
Mogili Fa: lisi dunu esalu, amo sia: nababeba: le, Ema amane adole ba: i, “Dia da nini si dofoi dunuyale dawa: bela: ?”
41 Jesus said to them, “If you [realized that you did not yet know God’s truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like] blind people [who wanted to see. God would be able to] forgive your sins. But you are now [falsely] claiming that you [know God’s truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they] can see. [Because of that, God is not able to] forgive your sins.”
Yesu da bu adole i, “Dilia da si dofoi ganiaba, dilia da hame ba: beba: le, wadela: i hou hame hamoi ba: la: loba. Be dilia da noga: le ba: sa amo dilia da sia: beba: le, dilia wadela: i hou da hame dedeboi, diala.”
