John 9
1 And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,
Linu Jesu habahitite, nabona mukwame yabazalwa nalimuhofu.
2 and his disciples asked him, saying, 'Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'
Barutwana bakwe chibamubuza, “Muruti, babatendi chive njibani, uzu mukwame kapa bazazi bakwe, habazalwa nalimuhofu?”
3 Jesus answered, 'Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;
Jesus abetabi, “Kenakuti uzu mukwame aba tendi chive nandi bazazi bakwe “kono kuti mitendo ya Ireeza ibungutulwe chali.
4 it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: —
Tutameha kutenda mitendo yozo yabanitumi nichili musihali. Masiku akezite mweyonako kakwina yeti nawole kusebeza.
5 when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.'
Hanichina muchisi, njime nisele lyechinu chisi.
6 These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,
Jesu hamana kuwamba izi zintu, naswila hansi, kutenda itope chamate, imi nasinga itope hamenso akwe.
7 'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;
Nichati kwali, “Yenda, kasambe muchihumbi cha Siloe (Itoloka kuti: kutumwa.” Hakwinabulyo mukwame naliyendela, nakasamba, imi nakabola chobona.
8 the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'
Hahabulyo bababambene nozo mukwame nabana babamuboni nali mukumbili babali kuwamba kuti, “Uzu kanjiyena yaba kuikalanga na kumbila?”
9 others said — 'This is he;' and others — 'He is like to him;' he himself said, — 'I am [he].'
Balikene nibati, “Nji yena” Bamwi nibati, “Nanta, kono uboneka ubu njeye.” imi iye chati, “Njime.”
10 They said, therefore, to him, 'How were thine eyes opened?'
Nibati kwali, “Linuhe menso ako ayeluki bule?”
11 he answered and said, 'A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'
Netaba, mukwame yo sumpwa Jesu watenda itope ni kunisunga amenso angu imi nati kwangu, 'Yende kwa Siloe mi uka sambe,' Chobulyo chinayenda imi ninakasamba imi ninatanga kubona.”
12 they said, therefore, to him, 'Where is that one?' he saith, 'I have not known.'
Nibati kwali, “Winahi iye?” Netaba nati, “kanizi.”
13 They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,
Nibaleta mukwame yaba kubanga chihofu ku Mafalisi.
14 and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Linu ibali izuba lye nsabata ilyo Jesu aba tendi itope heyalula menso akwe.
15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, 'Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash — and I see.'
Linu hape Mafalisi chiba mubuza mwaba bonene. Nati kubali, “Wabika itope hamenso angu, naka samba imi hanu chini bona.”
16 Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man — a sinful one — able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.
Balikene ku Bafilisi nibati, “Uzu mukwame kazwi kwa Ireeza mukuti kechilili Insabata.” Bamwi nibati, “Kwiza buti kuti mukwame wina chive atende imakazo zisika aha?” Chobulyo ni kwaba ni kuliyaba mukati kabo.
17 They said to the blind man again, 'Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?'
Chobulyo nibabuza mukwame wechihofu hape, “Utinzi kuamana naye mukuti njobeyalulwa menso kwali?” Mukwame wechihofu nati, “mutanikizi.”
18 and he said — 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,
Nangaho Majuda kanababazumini kuti ibali chihofu yabeyalulwa menso ulukusikila habasumpa bazazi bakwe yasanaabali kubona.
19 and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'
Nibabuza bazazi bakwe, “Uzu nji mwanenu wamuswisu imutakuti abazalwa nali chihofu? Kwiza buti kuti linu abone?”
20 His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
Chobulyo bazazi bakwe babetabi, “Twizi kuti uzu nji mwanetu wamuswisu nikuti aba zalwa neli chihofu.
21 and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'
Mukubezili kuti abone hanu katwizi, ni yabeyaluli menso akwe katwizi. Mumubuze, mukulwana. Uwola kuliwambilila iye mwine.”
22 These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him — Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;
Bazazi bakwe babawambi izi zintu, mukuti babakutite Majuda. Mukuti Majuda chiba babazuminzene kale kuti iye yete alizumine kuti nji Kreste mubamuhindikile kunze yamasinagoge.
23 because of this his parents said — 'He is of age, ask him.'
Chebaka lyezi, bazazi bakwe nibati, “Mukulwana, mumubuze.”
24 They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'
Mukuti chibabahitite tobole nibasumpa mukwame yabakubanga chihofu ni chibati kwali, “Uhe ikanya kwa Ireeza. Twizi kuti uzu mukwame mutendi wazive.”
25 he answered, therefore, and said, 'If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'
Linu uzo mukwame netaba, “Kanizi nandi mutendi wazive. Chimwi chinizi: Nibali nimuhofu, imi hanu chinibona.”
26 And they said to him again, 'What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'
Kuzwaho nibamuti, “Chinzi chabatendi kwako? Abeyalula buti menso ako?”
27 He answered them, 'I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?'
Abetabi, namiwambila kale, imi kamutekelezi! Chinzi hamusaka kuzuwa chimwi hape? Kamusaki kuba barutwana bakwe nanwe, nandi musaka?
28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, 'Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;
Nichibamutuka imi nibati, “Umurutwana wakwe, imi iswe tubarutwana ba Mushe.
29 we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.'
Twizi kuti Ireeza abawambi kwa Mushe, imi katwizi kuti uzu uzwa kuhi.”
30 The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!
Mukwame netaba nabacho, Ichi chikomosa, kuti kamwizi kwazwa, kono abeyaluli menso angu.
31 and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;
Twizi kuti Ireeza katekelezi batendi bazive, kono haiba muntu ulibekite kwa Ireeza ni kutenda intato yakwe, umutekeleza.
32 from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind; (aiōn g165)
Kutanga kumatangilo achisi kana kubeni kuzuweka kuti kwina ichabeyaluli menso amukwame yabazalwa neli muhofu. (aiōn g165)
33 if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'
Haiba uzu mukwame kazwi kwa Ireeza, kakwina chiti nabatendi.”
34 They answered and said to him, 'In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.
Nibamwitaba nibati, “Iwe ubazalilwa muzive kumaniniza, imi utuluta?” Hahobulyo nibamusohela kunze.”
35 Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, 'Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'
Jesu abazuwi kuti babamuhindikili hanze yesinagoge. Hamusangana nati, “Uzumina ku Mwana Muntu na?”
36 he answered and said, 'Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'
Netaba nati, “Njeni uzo, Simwine, kokuti nizumine kwali?”
37 And Jesus said to him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'
Jesu nati kwali, “Ubamuboni, imi njeyena yowamba nawe.”
38 and he said, 'I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.
Mukwame nati, “Simwine, nizumina” imi namulapela.
39 And Jesus said, 'For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'
Jesu nati, “Kuatulwa chinibezili mwechinu chisi kokuti basaboni babone imi kokuti bana babona basanduke zihofu.”
40 And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, 'Are we also blind?'
Balikene ku Bafalisi babena naye babazuwi izi zintu imi nibamubuza, “Kana naswe bulyo tubahofu?”
41 Jesus said to them, 'If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say — We see, therefore doth your sin remain.
Jesu nabati, “Haiba mubali muzihofu, nimusena mubabi ni zive, kono hanu muti, 'Tubona,' chobulyo chive chako muzishale bobulyo.
