Yohanes 9
1 Esi Yesu yina la, ekpɔ ŋutsu aɖe si wodzi ŋkuagbãtɔe.
And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 Nusrɔ̃lawo bia Yesu be, “Nufiala, ame kae wɔ nu vɔ̃, ŋutsu sia alo edzilawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo tae wodzii ŋkuagbãtɔea? Eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃e wɔe be wòle alea loo alo edzilawo ƒe nu vɔ̃woe?”
And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Menye ame sia alo edzilawo ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta ame sia ƒe ŋku gbã ɖo o. Wodzii nenema be woatsɔ aɖe Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ afia.
Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4 Esi ŋu ke la, ele be míawɔ ame si dɔm la ƒe dɔ. Ne zã do la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu awɔ dɔ o.
We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Zi ale si mele xexea me la, nyee nye xexea me ƒe kekeli la.”
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6 Esi wògblɔ nya sia la, eɖe ta ɖe anyigba, eye wòtsɔ ta la blu ba vi aɖe ɖe asi hesisi ɖe ŋkuagbãtɔ la ƒe ŋkuwo dzi.
When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,
7 Azɔ egblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàle tsi le Siloam Ta la me” (Siloam gɔmee nye, “Wodɔe ɖa”). Ŋkuagbãtɔ la yi ɖawɔ abe ale si Yesu gblɔ nɛ la ene, eye enumake eƒe ŋkuwo ʋu, wòkpɔ nu.
and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
8 Ŋutsu sia ƒe aƒelikawo kple ame siwo katã nyae tsã be nubiala wònye la bia wo nɔewo be, “Alo ɖe menye ŋkuagbãtɔ ma si nɔ nu biam lae nye esia oa?”
The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?"
9 Ame aɖewo be eyae, eye ɖewo hã be menye eyae o, ɖeko wòɖii. Ke ŋutsu la ŋutɔ gblɔ be, “Nyee.”
Some said, "It is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
10 Ameawo biae be, “Ke aleke wɔ hafi wò ŋkuwo ʋu?”
They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
11 Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ŋutsu aɖe si woyɔna be Yesu lae nya anyi vi aɖe tsɔ sisi ɖe nye ŋkuwo dzi hegblɔ nam be maɖale tsi le Siloam Ta la me. Mewɔ esia ale nye ŋkuwo ʋu, eye mede asi nukpɔkpɔ me.”
He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
12 Ameawo gabiae be, “Afi ka ame sia le?” Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nyemenya o.”
Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13 Ale ameawo kplɔ ŋutsu la yi ɖe Farisitɔwo gbɔe.
They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Ke gbe si gbe Yesu nya anyi tsɔ ʋu ŋku nɛ la nye Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke.
Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 Farisitɔ la hã biae be aleke wòwɔ hafi nèle nu kpɔm? Egblɔ na wo be, “Etsɔ ba sisi ɖe nye ŋkuwo dzi, eye meɖale tsi, eye nye ŋkuwo ʋu, eye mele nu kpɔm.”
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."
16 Farisitɔwo dometɔ aɖewo gblɔ be, “Ŋutsu sia metso Mawu gbɔ o, elabena mede bubu Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la ŋu o.” Ke bubuawo bia be, “Aleke nu vɔ̃ wɔla nate ŋu awɔ nukunu siawoe?” Ale mama ɖo wo dome.
Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.
17 Mlɔeba la, wogatrɔ ɖe ŋkuagbãtɔ la ŋu hebiae be, “Ame ka ƒomevi nèbu be enye? Wòe wòʋu ŋku na.” Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nyagblɔɖila wònye.”
Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
18 Yudatɔwo mexɔe se be ŋutsu la nye ŋkuagbãtɔ, eye Yesu ʋu eƒe ŋkuwo o va se ɖe esime woyɔ edzilawo vɛ.
The Jewish leaders therefore did not 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,
19 Wobia wo be, “Mia vie nye ame sia? Ŋkuagbãtɔe wònye hafi miedzia? Nenye be ele eme nenema ɖe, aleke wɔ wòle nu kpɔm fifia?”
and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 Edzilawo ɖo eŋu be, “Vavã mía vie, eye ŋkuagbãtɔe míedzii.
His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Gake míenya ale si wòwɔ hafi le nu kpɔm o, eye míenya ame si ʋu eƒe ŋkuwo nɛ o. Mibia eya ŋutɔ; etsi, ate ŋu aƒo nu, aɖe eɖokui nu.”
but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."
22 Edzilawo gblɔ nya sia, elabena wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m na Yudatɔwo, elabena Yudatɔwo ɖoe be ame si agblɔ be Yesue nye Kristo la la, woanyae le gbedoxɔ la me.
His parents said these things because they feared the Jewish leaders; for the Jewish leaders had already agreed that if anyone would confess him as the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Esia ta edzilawo gblɔ be, “Etsi, mibia eya ŋutɔ ɖo.”
Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
24 Farisitɔawo gayɔ ŋutsu si ƒe ŋkuwo gbã kpɔ la zi evelia, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Kafu Mawu boŋ. Míenya be nu vɔ̃ wɔla wònye.”
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."
25 Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Eɖanye nu vɔ̃ wɔla o, eɖanye ame nyui o, nyemenya o. Nu ɖeka si ko menya lae nye be, tsã la, menye ŋkuagbãtɔ, ke azɔ la, mele nu kpɔm!”
He therefore answered, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."
26 Ameawo gabiae be, “Nu ka wòwɔ na wò? Aleke wòwɔ hafi ʋu wò ŋkuwo na wò?”
They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27 Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Megblɔ nya sia na mi xoxo, gake miesee o. Nu ka ta miedi be magagblɔe na mi ɖo? Alo ɖe miedi be yewoazu eƒe nusrɔ̃lawoa?”
He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not also want to become his disciples, do you?"
28 Farisitɔawo de asi ŋutsu la dzudzu me hegblɔ be, “Wò la, ŋutsu sia ƒe nusrɔ̃lae nènye, ke míawo la, Mose ƒe nusrɔ̃lawoe míenye.
They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Míenya be Mawu ƒo nu na Mose, ke ame sia la, míenya afi si wòtso hã o.”
We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
30 Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ewɔ nuku ŋutɔ be mienya afi si wòtso o, gake eyae ʋu nye ŋkuwo nam.
The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 Mienya be Mawu meɖoa to nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo o, ke boŋ eɖoa to mawuvɔ̃la kple ame si wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu.
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.
Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Ɖe ŋutsu sia metso Mawu gbɔ o la, mate ŋu awɔ naneke o.”
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
34 Wogblɔ na ŋutsu la be, “Wò la, nu vɔ̃ me wodzi wò ɖo. Nu ka ta nèdi be yeafia nu mí ɖo?” Ale wonyae do goe.
They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out.
35 Yesu se be wonya ŋutsu sia le gbedoxɔ me, eya ta esi wòdo goe la, ebiae be, “Èxɔ Amegbetɔ Vi la dzi sea?”
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36 Ŋutsu la biae be, “Aƒetɔ, ame kae? Gblɔe nam, ne maxɔ edzi ase.”
He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
37 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ame si nèle kpɔkpɔm lae. Le nyateƒe me la, eyae le nu ƒom na wò fifia.”
Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
38 Ŋutsu la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, mexɔe se,” eye wòsubɔe.
He said, "Lord, I believe." and he worshiped him.
39 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nye la, ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ ta meva xexea me ɖo, be ŋkuagbãtɔwo nakpɔ nu, eye ame siwo le nu kpɔm la nazu ŋkuagbãtɔwo.”
Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."
40 Farisitɔ siwo nɔ afi ma la biae be, “Ɖe nèle gbɔgblɔm be míawo hã míenye ŋkuagbãtɔwoa?”
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
41 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ne mienye ŋkuagbãtɔwo la, womabu fɔ mi be miewɔ nu vɔ̃ o, gake esi miebe yewole nu kpɔm la, miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo anɔ mia dzi.”
Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
