John 9
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
Yesuus utuu darbuu namicha dhalootuma isaatii jalqabee jaamaa ture tokko arge.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Barattoonni isaas, “Yaa barsiisaa, akka namichi kun jaamaa taʼee dhalatuuf eenyutu cubbuu hojjete? Isuma moo abbaa fi haadha isaa ti?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebise; “Akka hojiin Waaqaa isaan mulʼatuuf malee inni yookaan abbaa fi haati isaa cubbuu hojjetanii miti.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
Utuu guyyaa taʼee jiruu hojii isa na ergee hojjechuun qabna. Halkan namni tokko iyyuu itti hojjechuu hin dandeenye ni dhufa.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Ani yommuun addunyaa irra jiru, ifa addunyaa ti.”
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
Innis erga waan kana dubbatee booddee lafatti tufee dhoqqee tolche; dhoqqee sanas ija namichaatti dibe.
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
Innis namicha sanaan, “Dhaqiitii Haroo Saliihoomitti dhiqadhu” jedhe. Saliihoom jechuun kan ergame jechuu dha. Namichis dhaqee dhiqate; argaas deebiʼee dhufe.
8 Therefore the neighbours and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
Olloonni isaatii fi namoonni duraan utuu inni kadhatuu argan, “Namichi kun isuma taaʼee kadhachaa ture sana mitii?” jedhan.
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
Namoonni tokko tokko, “Eeyyee, isa” jedhan. Kaan immoo, “Miti, isa fakkaata malee” jedhan. Inni garuu, “Namichi sun anuma” jedhe.
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
Jarris, “Iji kee akkamitti baname ree?” jedhaniin.
11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
Innis deebisee, “Namicha Yesuus jedhamutu dhoqqee tolchee ija koo dibee, ‘Gara Haroo Saliihoom dhaqiitii dhiqadhu’ naan jedhe; anis dhaqeen dhiqadhe; arguus nan dandaʼe.”
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
Isaanis, “Namichi sun eessa jira?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Inni immoo, “Ani hin beeku” jedheen.
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Isaanis namicha jaamaa ture sana Fariisotatti geessan.
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Guyyaan itti Yesuus dhoqqee tolchee ija namichaa bane Sanbata ture.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
Fariisonnis namichi akkamitti akka arguu dandaʼe isa gaafatan; namichis, “Inni dhoqqee tolchee ija koo dibe; anis nan dhiqadhe; nan arges” jedheen.
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division amongst them.
Fariisota keessaas tokko tokko, “Namichi kun waan Sanbata hin eegneef, inni Waaqa biraa hin dhufne” jedhan. Warri kaan garuu, “Cubbamaan tokko akkamitti dinqii akkanaa hojjechuu dandaʼa?” jedhan. Garaa garummaanis isaan gidduutti uumame.
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
Isaanis amma illee namicha jaamaa ture sanaan, “Waaʼee namicha ija kee siif bane sanaa maal jetta?” jedhan. Namichis deebisee, “Inni raajii dha” jedhe.
18 The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
Yihuudoonnis hamma abbaa fi haadha namicha agartuu isaa argate sanaa waamanitti akka inni jaamaa turee fi akka inni agartuu isaa argate amma illee hin amanne.
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
Isaanis, “Inni kun ilma keessan isuma isin jaamaa taʼee dhalate jettan sanaa? Yoos amma immoo akkamitti arguu dandaʼa ree?” jedhanii gaafatan.
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Abbaa fi haati namichaas deebisanii akkana jedhan; “Akka inni ilma keenya taʼee fi akka inni jaamaa taʼee dhalate ni beekna.
21 but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
Garuu amma akkamitti akka arguu dandaʼe yookaan ija isaa eenyu akka baneef nu hin beeknu. Inni nama gaʼaa dha; waaʼee mataa isaa dubbachuu ni dandaʼa; isuma gaafadhaa.”
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
Abbaa fi haati isaa sababii Yihuudoota sodaataniif waan kana jedhan; namni kam iyyuu yoo Yesuus inni Kiristoos jedhee dhugaa baʼe akka mana sagadaa keessaa ariʼamu Yihuudoonni kanaan dura walii galanii murteessanii turaniitii.
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
Kanaafuu abbaa fi haati isaa, “Inni nama gaʼaa dha; isuma gaafadhaa” jedhan.
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
Isaanis yeroo lammaffaa namicha jaamaa ture sana waamanii, “Waaqaaf ulfina kenni. Namichi kun cubbamaa taʼuu isaa nu ni beekna” jedhaniin.
25 He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
Innis, “Cubbamaa taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaa ani hin beeku. Ani waan tokkon beeka. Ani jaamaan ture; amma garuu nan arga!” jedhee deebise.
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
Isaanis, “Inni maal siif godhe? Ija kees akkamitti siif bane?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
Inni immoo, “Ani kanaan dura isinitti himeera; isinis hin dhageenye. Ammas maaliif dhagaʼuu barbaaddu? Isinis barattoota isaa taʼuu barbaadduu?” jedheen.
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Isaanis akkana jedhanii isa arrabsan; “Barataan namicha kanaa siʼi! Nu barattoota Musee ti!
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
Akka Waaqni Museetti dubbate nu beekna; namichi kun garuu eessaa akka dhufe iyyuu hin beeknu.”
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
Namichis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Inni eessaa akka dhufe wallaaluun keessan waan nama dinquu dha; garuu inni ija koo naa bane.
31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
Akka Waaqni cubbamoota hin dhageenye ni beekna. Inni nama isa waaqeffatuu fi fedhii isaa guutu dhagaʼa.
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
Eenyu iyyuu ija nama jaamaa taʼee dhalate tokkoo akka bane uumama addunyaatii jalqabee hin dhagaʼamne. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
Namichi kun utuu Waaqa biraa taʼuu baatee silaa homaa gochuu hin dandaʼu ture.”
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
Isaanis deebisanii, “Ati kan guutummaatti cubbuun dhalatte, situ nu barsiisaa?” jedhaniin. Alattis gad isa baasan.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
Yesuusis akka isaan gad isa baasan dhagaʼe; yommuu isa argettis, “Ati Ilma Namaatti ni amantaa?” jedheen.
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
Namichis, “Yaa gooftaa, akka ani isatti amanuuf inni eenyu?” jedhe.
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
Yesuusis, “Ati amma isa argiteerta; inni si wajjin haasaʼaa jiru isuma” jedheen.
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshipped him.
Namichi sunis, “Yaa Gooftaa, ani nan amana” jedhe; ni sagadeefis.
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgement, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
Yesuus immoo, “Warri hin argine akka arganiif, warri argan immoo akka jaamaniif ani murtiif gara addunyaa kanaa dhufeera” jedhe.
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
Fariisota isa wajjin turan keessaa tokko tokko waan kana jechuu isaa dhagaʼanii, “Nus jaamota mitii ree?” jedhanii gaafatan.
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
Yesuusis, “Utuu jaamota taatanii silaa cubbuu hin qabdan ture; isin garuu, ‘Ni argina’ jettu; cubbuun keessan ni jiraata” jedheen.
