John 9
1 As He passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
Usekhe, u Yesu wigenda, ahambwene umunu uyusilola khuma iholiwa.
2 So His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned--this man or his parents--that he was born blind?"
Avasiole vamwene vakhamboncha, “Rabi, veni ayavambile imbivi, umunu uyu au avahonohi vamwene, ipakha akhaliwe silola?”
3 "Neither he nor his parents sinned," answered Jesus, "but he was born blind in order that God's mercy might be openly shown in him.
UYesu akhanda, “Sio umunu oyu wala avakhoji vamwene vavombile imbivi, ili embombo ya Nguluve yepate ukhuvonekha ukhugendela khumwene.
4 We must do the works of Him who sent me while there is daylight. Night is coming on, when no one can work.
Yinogiwa ukhovamba embombo yamweni uyasukhile usekhe vabado musi. Eikhisi yikhwincha usekhe gugwa hakuna uyakheva iwesya uhuvomba embombo.
5 When I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."
Ulwahova ekhelonga, une nene lumumuli lwa khelunga.”
6 After thus speaking, He spat on the ground, and then, kneading the dust and spittle into clay, He smeared the clay over the man's eyes and said to him,
Ulwakhanchovile amamenyu aga, akhabekha pakhelunga, avekha elidope khumate, akhabaha umunu ula minukho nelidope.
7 "Go and wash in the pool of Siloam" --the name means 'Sent.' So he went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see.
Akhambula, ulute ukhoge ikhesiva kha Siloam (Uye yitafisiliwa kama 'uyasuhiwe').” Umunu uywa akhaluta, akhakalava, akhakilivokha, ilola.
8 His neighbours, therefore, and the other people to whom he had been a familiar object because he was a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"
Avajilani va munu uywa avalikhombona ukhuma khuvotengolelo ukhumbona kama idofi vakhachava, Uyu! sio vemunu uyakhatamaga idova?” Avange vakhachova, “Ve mwene.”
9 "Yes it is," replied some of them. "No it is not," said others, "but he is like him." His own statement was, "I am the man."
Avange vakhachova, “Ate, ila ikhwanana numwene.” Lakini alengonchava alen'kota, “Nene.”
10 "How then were your eyes opened?" they asked.
Vakhambola, “Isainchi amikho gakho gafumbiliwe nekhehi?”
11 "He whose name is Jesus," he answered, "made clay and smeared my eyes with it, and then told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and obtained sight."
Akhanda, umunu uyuikhuelangiwa ve Yesu akhaveha alidope nukhubaha amikho gango nukhumbula, “Luta khu Siloam ukhakalave.' Ponekhaluta, nekhakalava, nekhavona nilola khange.”
12 "Where is he?" they inquired, but the man did not know.
Vakhambola, “Alendakhu?” Akhanda. “Sanelumanyile.”
13 They brought him to the Pharisees--the man who had been blind.
Vakhan'gelekha umunu uywa uyagele ukhuva silola khuvamafalisayo.
14 Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened the man's eyes was the Sabbath.
Yekhale sikhu ya Sabato po u Yesu akhatengenisye ilidope nukhufumbula amikho gamwene.
15 So the Pharisees renewed their questioning as to how he had obtained his sight. "He put clay on my eyes," he replied, "and I washed, and now I can see."
Avamafalisayo vahamboncha tena ukhugahile ndakhehi ipakha ukhalola. Aliwaambia, “Aliweka tope katika macho yangu, nikanawa na sasa naweza kuona.”
16 This led some of the Pharisees to say, "That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it possible for a bad man to do such miracles?" argued others.
Avange Avamafalisayo vakhachova, “Umunu uywa sakhomile khwa Nguluve ulwakhova sibite Esabato.” Avange vakhanchova, “Yiwesehana ndakhehi umunu unyambivi ivomba imbombo inchi?” Pe vakhaga venyekha vawo.
17 And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, "What is your account of him? --for he opened your eyes." "He is a Prophet," he replied.
Po vakhambon'cha uyusilola ukhepofu khange, “Wita ndakhehi khomwene ulyakhova akhafumbwile amio gakho?” Ukhopofu akhachova, “Inyamalago.”
18 The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him--that he had been blind and had obtained his sight--until they called his parents and asked them,
Ipakha isaliin'chi avayahudi sava khedekhe ukhuta silola navope apatile ukhulola ipakha avelangile avakhon'chi vamwene uyawesije ukhulola.
19 "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then that he can now see?"
Vakhavovoncha avakhonchi, Je, uyu mwana venyo uyumwichova ukhuta akhaholiwe silola? Agakhile ndakhehi ukhulola?”
20 "We know," replied the parents, "that this is our son and that he was born blind;
Avakhonchi vamwene vakhanda, “Tulumanyile ukhuta uya mwana venyo naakha khaliwe silola.
21 but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it."
Ndakhehi leno ilola, satolomanyile, navopo uya dendwile amikho gamwene, satomanyile. Imbon'che yuywa. Munu imbakha. Iwesya ukhweyelesya yuywa.”
22 Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue.
Avakhon'chi vamwene vakhanchova amambo aga, ulwakhova vakhadwada Avayahudi ulwakhova Avayahudi vakhavile vedekhine tayali ukhuta, angave yeyoni ikhwedekha ukhuta u Yesu Klisiti, itengiwa ne Tembile.
23 That was why his parents said, "He is of full age: ask him himself."
Ulwa khuva, uvakhon'chi vamwene vakhachovile, “Munu igoge imbakha imbonche yuywa.”
24 A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner."
Ulwa vele, vakhamwelanga umunu ula uyegelile ukhuva silola nukhumbula, “Ipe u Nguluve uluginyo. Tulumanyile ukhuta umunu uyu inya mbivi.”
25 "Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know," he replied; "one thing I know--that I was once blind and that now I can see."
Umunu ula akhanda, “Angave inya mbivi, une salumanyile. Ekhenu khemo ekhenelumanyile: Nekhale sanetekholola, isaliichi nilola.”
26 "What did he do to you?" they asked; "how did he open your eyes?"
Po vakhambola, “Akhovambile khehi? Akhadendela amikho gakho?”
27 "I have told you already," he replied, "and you did not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also mean to be disciples of his?"
Akhanda, “Nekhavavolile tayali, numwe samukhapolekhenche! Khehi mwinogwa ukhupolekha khange? Numwe samwinogwa ukhova vasite vamwene, eti?
28 Then they railed at him, and said, "You are that man's disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Vakhadokha vakhanchova, uveve ulevasiole vamwene, ufyefye tolevasiole va Musa.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this fellow we do not know where he comes from."
Tulumanyile ukhuta u Nguluve akhanchovile nu Musa, khomunu uyu, satokhomanyile ukhwikhoma.”
30 "Why, this is marvellous!" the man replied; "you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes!
Umunu ula akhanda nukhuvavola, “Kwa nini, ele lijambo lwakhoswigencha, Unguluve ikhopolekhencha.
31 We know that God does not listen to bad people, but that if any one is a God-fearing man and obeys Him, to him He listens.
Tulumanyile ukhuta u Nguluve sikhova polekhencha avanya sambi, ingave umunu idova khwa Nguluve ivomba umwanogile mwene, Unguluve ikhopolekhencha.
32 From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind from his birth. (aiōn g165)
Ukhuma khitengola ikhelunga sayegele yekhomele wala ukhupolekha ukhuta yeyoni alalile amikho gamunu uyakhalwe silola. (aiōn g165)
33 Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing."
Ingave umunu uyu sakhahuma khwa Nguluve, sakhaivomba khokhoni.”
34 "You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin, and do you teach us?" And they put him out of the synagogue.
Vakhanda vakhombola, “Ukhaholiwe mumbivi hani, buve vukhutumanyesyaga ufye?” Po vakhaswema ukhutembile.
35 Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
U Yesu akhapolekhe ukhuta van'genchinche ukhutembile. Akhombona nukhumbula, vukhu mwedekha umwana va munu?”
36 "Who is He, Sir?" replied the man. "Tell me, so that I may believe in Him."
Akhanda nukhuchova, “Veni, Intwa, nayone nemwedekhe?”
37 "You have seen Him," said Jesus; "and not only so: He is now speaking to you."
U Yesu akhambula, “Umbwene, uyuwinchova nave vemwene.”
38 "I believe, Sir," he said. And he threw himself at His feet.
Umunu ula akhanchova, “Intwa, Nikhwamini.” Pokhamwinamela.
39 "I came into this world," said Jesus, "to judge men, that those who do not see may see, and that those who do see may become blind."
U Yesu akhanda, “Khuvakhegi ninchile in'kelunga umu vavo savilola valolage navavo vilola vavenchage savilola.”
40 These words were heard by those of the Pharisees who were present, and they asked Him, "Are we also blind?"
Avange Avamafalisayo vakhale popaninye vape vakhapolekha amamenyu ago vakhamboja, “Na yofye satulola?”
41 "If you were blind," answered Jesus, "you would have no sin; but as a matter of fact you boast that you see. So your sin remains!"
U Yesu avavola, “Mukhemvinchage samwilola, samukhale mwiva ni mbivi. Ata leno, mwinchova, 'Twilola,' imbivi nchenyo nchitama.”
