John 9

1 And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

Wakati achipfuura, akaona munhu bofu kubva pakuberekwa.

2 and his disciples asked him, saying, 'Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'

Vadzidzi vake ndokumubvunza, vachiti: Rabhi, ndiani wakatadza, uyu kana vabereki vake, kuti aberekwe ari bofu?

3 Jesus answered, 'Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

Jesu akapindura akati: Uyu haana kutadza, kana vabereki vake; asi kuti mabasa aMwari aoneswe maari.

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: —

Ndinofanira kushanda mabasa ewakandituma achiri masikati; usiku hunouya, apo pasina munhu angagona kushanda.

5 when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.'

Kana ndichiri panyika, ndiri chiedza chenyika.

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,

Wakati areva izvi, akapfira pasi, akaita dope nemate, akazodza dope pameso ebofu,

7 'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

akati kwaari: Enda unoshamba mudziva reSiroami (zvinoshandurwa kuti: Wakatumwa). Naizvozvo wakaenda akashamba, akadzoka achiona.

8 the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

Naizvozvo vavakidzani nevaimuona pakutanga kuti wakange ari bofu, vakati: Haasi iye uyu waigara achipemha here?

9 others said — 'This is he;' and others — 'He is like to him;' he himself said, — 'I am [he].'

Vamwe vakati: Uyu ndiye; asi vamwe vakati: Wakaita saiye. Iye akati: Ndini.

10 They said, therefore, to him, 'How were thine eyes opened?'

Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Meso ako akazarurwa sei?

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;'

Akapindura izvo akati: Munhu anonzi Jesu wakaita dope, akazodza meso angu, akati kwandiri: Enda kudziva reSiroami unoshamba. Zvino ndikaenda ndikashamba, ndikaonazve.

12 they said, therefore, to him, 'Where is that one?' he saith, 'I have not known.'

Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Iye aripi? Akati: Handizivi.

13 They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,

Vakamuisa kuVaFarisi, iye waimbova bofu.

14 and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

Zvino raiva sabata apo Jesu akaita dope, akasvinudza meso ake.

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.'

Naizvozvo zvekare VaFarisi vakamubvunzawo, kuti wakaonazve sei. Akati kwavari: Waisa dope pameso angu ndikashamba, ndava kuona.

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.

Naizvozvo vamwe veVaFarisi vakati: Munhu uyu haabvi kuna Mwari, nokuti haachengeti sabata. Vamwe vakati: Munhu ari mutadzi angaita sei zviratidzo zvakadai? Kukava nekupesana pakati pavo.

17 They said to the blind man again, 'Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?'

Vakatizve kubofu: Iwe unoti kudini pamusoro pake, sezvo asvinudza meso ako? Akati: Muporofita.

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,

Zvino VaJudha havana kutenda pamusoro pake, kuti wakange ari bofu, akaonazve, kusvikira vadana vabereki vewakaonazve,

19 and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

zvino vakavabvunza, vachiti: Uyu mwanakomana wenyu imwi wamunoti wakaberekwa ari bofu here? Naizvozvo ikozvino woona sei?

20 His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

Vabereki vake vakavapindura vakati: Tinoziva kuti uyu mwanakomana wedu, uye kuti wakaberekwa ari bofu;

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.'

asi kuti ikozvino woona sei, hatizivi; kana ndiani wasvinudza meso ake, isu hatizivi; iye wayaruka, mubvunzei, iye pachake achazvitaurira.

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;

Vabereki vake vakareva izvi, nokuti vaitya VaJudha; nokuti VaJudha vakange vatotenderana kuti kana ani nani anobvuma kuti ndiye Kristu, abudiswe musinagoge.

23 because of this his parents said — 'He is of age, ask him.'

Naizvozvo vabereki vake vakati: Wayaruka, mubvunzei.

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;'

Naizvozvo vakadana rwechipiri uyo munhu wakange ari bofu, vakati kwaari: Ipa Mwari rumbidzo; isu tinoziva kuti munhu uyu mutadzi.

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.'

Naizvozvo iye akapindura achiti: Kana ari mutadzi handizivi; chinhu chimwe chandinoziva, kuti ndaiva bofu, ikozvino ndoona.

26 And they said to him again, 'What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'

Zvino vakati kwaarizve: Wakaitei kwauri? Wakasvinudza meso ako sei?

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?'

Akavapindura, akati: Ndadokuudzai, asi hamuna kunzwa, munodirei kunzwa zvekare? Nemwi munoda kuva vadzidzi vake kanhi?

28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, 'Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;

Naizvozvo vakamutuka, vakati: Ndiwe mudzidzi wake; asi isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi.

29 we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.'

Isu tinoziva kuti Mwari wakataura kuna Mozisi; asi uyu hatizivi kwaanobva.

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!

Munhu akapindura akati kwavari: Nokuti pachinhu ichi pane chinoshamisa, kuti imwi hamuzivi kwaanobva, asi wasvinudza meso 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;

Zvino tinoziva kuti Mwari haanzwi vatadzi; asi kana munhu ari mushumiri waMwari, achiita chido chake, uyu anomunzwa.

32 from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind; (aiōn g165)

Kubvira rinhi hakuna kumbonzwika kuti umwe wakasvinudza meso ewakaberekwa ari bofu. (aiōn g165)

33 if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'

Dai uyu anga asingabvi kuna Mwari, haasaigona kuita chinhu.

34 They answered and said to him, 'In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Iwe zvachese wakaberekerwa muzvivi, zvino iwe wotidzidzisa here? Vakamudzingira 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 akanzwa kuti vamudzingira kunze; akati amuwana, akati kwaari: Iwe unotenda kuMwanakomana waMwari here?

36 he answered and said, 'Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'

Iye akapindura akati: Ndiani, Ishe, kuti nditende kwaari?

37 And Jesus said to him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'

Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Newe wamuona, uye anotaura newe, ndiye.

38 and he said, 'I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.

Zvino akati: Ishe ndinotenda; akamunamata.

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 ndokuti: Kutonga ndiko ini kwandakauira panyika ino, kuti vasingaoni vaone; nevanoona vave mapofu.

40 And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, 'Are we also blind?'

Uye avo veVaFarisi vaiva naye vakanzwa zvinhu izvi, vakati kwaari: Nesu tiri mapofu here?

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 akati kwavari: Dai maiva mapofu, mungadai musina chivi. Asi ikozvino munoti: Tinoona; naizvozvo chivi chenyu chinogara.
