John 9
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
Karon samtang si Jesus milabay, nakita niya ang usa ka tawo nga buta gikan pa sa iyang pagkatawo.
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
Ang mga disipulo nangutana kaniya, “Rabbi, kinsa may nakasala, kining tawhana o ang iyang ginikanan, hinungdan nga siya natawo nga buta?”
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.
Si Jesus mitubag, “Dili kini tungod sa sala niining tawhana, o sa iyang mga ginikanan, apan aron nga ang mga buhat sa Dios mapadayag diha kaniya.
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].
Kinahanglan nga buhaton nato ang buluhaton sa nagpadala kanako samtang adlaw pa. Kay ang kagabhion moabot sa dihang wala nay makahimo sa pagbuhat ug buluhaton.
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].”
Samtang ania pa ako sa kalibotan, ako ang kahayag sa kalibotan.”
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.
Pagkahuman ni Jesus ug sulti niining mga butanga, miluwa siya sa yuta, naghimog lapok ginamit ang laway, ug gihidhidran niyag lapok ang mga mata sa buta.
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!
Siya miingon kaniya, “Lakaw, panghilam-os didto sa linaw sa Siloam (diin gihubad nga: gipaadto).” Busa ang tawo milakaw palayo, ug nanghilam-os, ug mibalik nga makakita na.
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?”
Unya ang mga silingan sa tawo ug kadtong mga nakakita kaniya kaniadto nga nagpakilimos miingon, “Dili ba kini nga tawo ang kanunay naglingkod ug nagpakilimos?”
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!”
Ang pipila miingon, “Siya gayod.” Ang uban miingon, “Dili, apan siya sama kaniya.” Apan siya miingon, “Ako kini.”
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
Sila miingon kaniya, “Unya giunsa man pagkabuka ang imong mga mata?”
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.”
Siya mitubag, “Ang tawo nga gitawag ug Jesus naghimog lapok ug gihidhid sa akong mga mata ug miingon kanako, 'Adto sa Siloam ug panghilam-os.' Busa miadto ako ug nanghilam-os, ug unya makakita na ako.”
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
Sila miingon kaniya, “Asa naman siya?” Siya mitubag, “Wala ako masayod.”
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
Unya gidala nila ang tawo nga kaniadto buta ngadto sa mga Pariseo.
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]).
Adlaw kadto nga Igpagpahulay sa dihang si Jesus naghimog lapok ug nabuka ang iyang mga mata.
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!”
Unya gipangutana pag-usab sa mga Pariseo kung giunsa niya pagdawat sa iyang panan-aw. Siya miingon kanila, “Gibutangan niyag lapok ang akong mga mata, unya nanghilam-os ako, ug ako karon makakita na.”
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.
Pipila sa mga Pariseo miingon, “Kining tawhana dili gikan sa Dios tungod kay wala niya ginasunod ang Igpapahulay.” Ang uban miingon, “Unsaon sa usa ka tawo nga makasasala pagbuhat sa maong mga timaan?” Busa adunay pagkabahin taliwala kanila.
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].
Busa ilang gipangutana ang buta nga tawo pag-usab, “Unsa may ikasulti nimo mahitungod kaniya sukad nga iyang gibuka ang imong mga mata?” Ang tawo nga buta miingon, “Siya usa ka propeta.”
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.
Karon ang mga Judio wala gihapon motuo mahitungod kaniya nga siya buta ug siya karon makakita na hangtod nga ilang gipatawag ang iyang ginikanan niadtong tawo nga makakita na.
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?”
Ilang gipangutana ang ginikanan, “Mao ba kini ang inyong anak nga giingon nga natawong buta? Giunsa nganong nakakita naman siya karon?”
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
Busa ang iyang ginikanan mitubag kanila, “Nasayod kami nga amo kining anak ug siya buta sukad pa sa iyang pagkatawo.
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!”
Giunsa niya pagkakita karon, wala kami masayod, ug kung kinsa ang mipabuka sa iyang mga mata, wala kami masayod. Pangutan-a siya, siya hamtong na. Siya makatubag na alang sa iyang kaugalingon.”
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].
Gisulti kini sa iyang mga ginikanan, tungod kay nahadlok man sila sa mga Judio. Kay ang mga Judio nagkauyon nang daan nga kung si bisan kinsa ang moingon nga siya ang Cristo, siya mahimo nang pagawason sa sinagoga.
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
Tungod niini, ang iyang mga ginikanan miingon, “Siya hamtong na, pangutan-a siya.”
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.”
Busa sa ikaduha nga higayon ilang gitawag pag-usab ang tawo nga buta ug giingnan siya, “Ihatag ang himaya sa Dios. Nasayod kami nga kining tawhana makasasala.”
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!”
Unya ang maong tawo mitubag, “Wala ako masayod kung makasasala siya. Usa lang ka butang ang akong nasayran: Buta ako, ug karon makakita na.”
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
Unya sila miingon kaniya, “Unsa ang iyang gibuhat kanimo? Giunsa niya pagbuka sa imong mga mata?”
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]).”
Siya mitubag, “Gisultihan ko na kamo, ug wala kamo maminaw! Nganong buot pa man ninyo nga madungog kini pag-usab? Kamo dili ba buot nga mahimo niyang mga disipulo, dili ba?
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
Ug ilang giinsulto siya sa pag-ingon, “Ikaw ang iyang disipulo, apan kami mga disipulo ni Moises.
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!”
Nasayod kami nga ang Dios misulti kang Moises, apan wala kami masayod kung kining usa asa naggikan.”
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!
Ang tawo mitubag ug miingon kanila. “Kini talagsaon, nga wala kamo masayod kung asa siya naggikan, apan iyang gibuka ang akong mga mata.
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.
Nasayod kami nga ang Dios dili maminaw sa mga makakasala, apan kung ang matag-usa masimbahon ug kanunay motuman sa iyang gisugo, siya maminaw kaniya.
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)
Sukad sa sinugdanan sa kalibotan wala pa gayoy nadungog nga adunay nakapabuka sa mga mata sa tawo nga buta sukad sa iyang pagkatawo. (aiōn g165)
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
Kung kining tawhana dili pa gikan sa Dios, wala gayod siyay mahimo.”
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].
Sila mitubag ug miingon kaniya, “Ikaw hingpit nga natawo sa kasal-anan, ug ikaw nagtudlo kanamo?” Unya ila siyang gipagawas palayo.
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]?”
Si Jesus nakabalita nga ila siyang gihinginlan pagawas sa sinagoga. Nakaplagan niya siya ug giingnan, “Mituo ka ba sa Anak sa Tawo?”
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
Siya mitubag ug miingon, “Kinsa man siya Ginoo, aron nga ako motuo kaniya?”
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
Si Jesus miingon kaniya, “Ikaw nakakita na kaniya, ug siya mao ang nakigsulti uban kanimo.”
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
Ang tawo miingon, “Ginoo, mituo ako “ug siya misimba kaniya.
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.”
Si Jesus miingon, “Alang sa paghukom ako miabot niining kalibotana aron ang kadtong dili makakita mahimong makakita ug kadtong makakita mahimong buta.”
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?”
Ang pipila sa mga Pariseo nga anaa didto uban kaniya nakadungog niining mga butanga ug nangutana kaniya, “Kami ba usab mga buta?”
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.”
Si Jesus miingon kanila, “Kung kamo buta, kamo unta wala nay sala, apan karon kamo nag-ingon, 'Kami nakakita; busa ang inyong sala magpabilin.
