Yohanes 9
1 Esi Yesu yina la, ekpɔ ŋutsu aɖe si wodzi ŋkuagbãtɔe.
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his 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, saying, Master, 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 hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should 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.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 Zi ale si mele xexea me la, nyee nye xexea me ƒe kekeli la.”
As long as 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 thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
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 is by interpretation, Sent.) He went away therefore, and washed, and came 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 neighbours therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Ame aɖewo be eyae, eye ɖewo hã be menye eyae o, ɖeko wòɖii. Ke ŋutsu la ŋutɔ gblɔ be, “Nyee.”
Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 Ameawo biae be, “Ke aleke wɔ hafi wò ŋkuwo ʋu?”
Therefore they said to him, How were thy 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 and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Ameawo gabiae be, “Afi ka ame sia le?” Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nyemenya o.”
Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 Ale ameawo kplɔ ŋutsu la yi ɖe Farisitɔwo gbɔe.
They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind.
14 Ke gbe si gbe Yesu nya anyi tsɔ ʋu ŋku nɛ la nye Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke.
And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, 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.”
Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do 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.
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a 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.”
They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy 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.
But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that 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 they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 Edzilawo ɖo eŋu be, “Vavã mía vie, eye ŋkuagbãtɔe míedzii.
His parents answered them and said, 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 by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall 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.
These words his parents spoke, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Esia ta edzilawo gblɔ be, “Etsi, mibia eya ŋutɔ ɖo.”
Therefore said his parents, 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.”
Then again they called the man that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: 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 answered and said, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I 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?”
Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thy 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 have told you already, and ye did not hear: Why would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Farisitɔawo de asi ŋutsu la dzudzu me hegblɔ be, “Wò la, ŋutsu sia ƒe nusrɔ̃lae nènye, ke míawo la, Mose ƒe nusrɔ̃lawoe míenye.
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 Míenya be Mawu ƒo nu na Mose, ke ame sia la, míenya afi si wòtso hã o.”
We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this man, we know not where he is 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 and said to them, Why here is a marvellous thing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he hath opened my eyes.
31 Mienya be Mawu meɖoa to nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo o, ke boŋ eɖoa to mawuvɔ̃la kple ame si wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was 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 and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast 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 cast him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 Ŋutsu la biae be, “Aƒetɔ, ame kae? Gblɔe nam, ne maxɔ edzi ase.”
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
37 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ame si nèle kpɔkpɔm lae. Le nyateƒe me la, eyae le nu ƒom na wò fifia.”
And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 Ŋutsu la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, mexɔe se,” eye wòsubɔe.
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped 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.”
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and that they who see may be made blind.
40 Farisitɔ siwo nɔ afi ma la biae be, “Ɖe nèle gbɔgblɔm be míawo hã míenye ŋkuagbãtɔwoa?”
And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also?
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 ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
