Yanisa Mishiracho 9
1 yesussay ogera adhii bishe ba aay uloope yelletethape ayfee qooqidade beeydes.
As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
2 Iza kallizayt iza “tammarisizays haysi addezii qooqe gidi yellistana mala nagara oththiday oonne? iza yellidaytii oththidoye? izi oththide?” gidii Yesussa oychchida.
We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
3 Yesussayka isttas hizzgdees “iza gidinkka iza yellidaytika nagara oththibeytena, izi hessaththo haniday Xoossa oththoy iza bolla qonccanasiko.
Jesus replied, “His being blind was not because he or his parents sinned. Instead, [he has been blind] in order that [people can] see the power of God {the power of God can be seen} as a result of [what will now happen] to him.
4 Gaalasara tana kittdade oththo oththanas tas besses, buroo oonnika othanas danddaontta qammay yaana?
While there is still time, I must do the work that the one who sent me [wants me to do. Just like daytime is followed by] nighttime when people do not work, [at the end of our lives] [MET] [it is too late for us to do what God wants].
5 Ha bitta bolla diza wode ha bittas poo7oy tana.”
While I am still [living] in this world, I am the [one who enables people to know about God, like] [MET] [a] light enables the people in [MTY] this world [to see what is in the darkness].”
6 Hessa gi simmidi bitta bolla cuchchu cuttdii ba cuchchan urqqa gigsidi addeza ayfeza he urqqa tydii addeza
After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made [a little bit of] mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
7 “Baada selihomen asay xammaqetizason meccista” gides, selihome gusi kittetdaysa gusa, addezika bidi maccetdesine xeellishe simmi yides.
Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ‘sent;’ [just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus]). So the man went and washed [in the pool], and when he went home he was able to see!
8 Iza dosatnne kase izi hen wosishshin be7ida asay “hayssadey kase uttid wosiza addeza gidene? gida.
His neighbors and others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn’t he?”
9 Isttafe issi issi asati “ee izakko” gida, baggaytii “iza gidena” gida, izi qasse “ta izako” gidees.
Some said, “[Yes], he is.” Others said, “No, [he is not]. It is [just] a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
10 Isttika “histtin ne ayfey wani xeelide? gidi oychchida.
So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
11 Izika zaaridii “Yesussa geetetza assi bitta bolla urqqa urqqasddine ta ayfeza he urqqa tydiine tana baada seliihomen meccista gi yootin ta baada meccistada xeellanas dandda7eds” gidees.
He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam [pool] and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
12 Isttaka “histtin he uray hai awan dizee?” gida, izika “ta errke” gides.
They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 Isttikka he kasse ayfe qooqe addeza parssawistako ehaaththada.
They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
14 Yesussay urqqa urqqasiidii addeza ayfe paththida gaalasay ayhudata sambbata gaalasiko.
The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest). [The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
15 Hessa gish parssawetii addeza izii wostt xeeliidakone iza oychchida, addezika zaaridii “izi ta ayfen urqqa tydees, taka meccistadis, heko hai xeellides” gides.
So the Pharisees also asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I can see!”
16 parssawistape issi issi asati “hays addezi sambbata bonchonttade gidida gish izi Xoossafe gideena” gida, baaggay qasse “nagaranchay hayssa mala malata wani ooththana danddaize? gida, hessa gish istta gidon pallamay medhetides.
So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man [Jesus] disobeys [our rules about working] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, (he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?) [RHQ]” So they were divided.
17 Hessa gish kase ayfe qooqe addezzako simmidi “ha ne ayfe paththida addeza gish ne ay gazz? Gida, addezii zaaridi “izi nabeko” gides.
So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “[I think] he is a prophet!” [So they told him to go].
18 Ayhudati addeza yellida ayeyrane aawara xeeygsi eehisana gakanas addezii kase qooqe gididdaysa ammanibeytena.
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was [now] able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man’s parents.
19 Isttka (yelidayta) “inte nusi qooqe nay yelletdes giza nazi hayse? histtin hai wanidi xeelana danddaide?” gida.
[When they got there], one of [the Jewish leaders] asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? [If that is true], how is he now able to see?”
20 Yellidaytka hizzgi zaarida “izi nu na gididaysane qooqe gididi yelletdaysa errosu.
His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
21 Hai qasse izi wani xeelana danddaidakone iza ayfe oonni pogidakone nu erroko, izi bena danddaidade gidida gish izi ba gish yootanas danddaees, iza oychchitee” gida.
But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough [to answer questions from authorities like you] He can tell you himself!”
22 Iza yellidayt hessaththo giday oonnika Yesussa izi Kristtossa giidi markkatday wuri ayhudata woosafe godistana mala Ayhudati kase seera oththida gish ayhudatas babidi gida.
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from [entering] their synagogues. His parents [knew that, so] they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
23 Hesa gish iza yellidayt izi bena danddaidade gidida gish iza ochchte” gida.
That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
24 Kase qooqe addeza qasseka xeeygd “hayso ne tummayo yootada xoossa boncha, haysi addezi nagarancha gididaysa nu errosu” gida.
So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. [When he got there], the [Jewish leaders] said to him, “Knowing that God [is listening] [IDM], tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
25 Izika “izi nagarancha gididaysa ta errike, gido attin ta kase qooqe gididarone qasse hai ta xeelizaro hano xaala errays” gides.
He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
26 Istt qasse iza “izi nes ay oththide? Ne ayfeza wostt pogide?” gidi oychchida
So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
27 Izika “ta intes kase yootin wozinan woth siybeykista shin hai qasse aazas zarethi siyana koyetii? inteka iza kalliizayta gidana koyet?” gides.
He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not [RHQ] pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? (Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though [IRO] you also want to become his disciples [RHQ]).”
28 Hesafe guye iza “nu musse kallizadentta, ne iza kallizade gida” gi caydda.
Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
29 Kase Xoossi Mussera hasaetdaysa nu erros, haysi addezi awape yidakone nu erroko.”
We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he [gets any authority] from!”
30 Addezika isttas hizzgi zaarides “izi awapekone inte erronttays malalththes, gido attin ta ayfe xeelisdadey iza.
The man replied, “That is very surprising! You [say that] you do not know where he [gets any authority]. But he enabled me to see!
31 Xoossi bes babizadene iza sheene oththizades attin nagarancha ura siyonttaysa nu eerros.
We know that God does not help sinners [who ask God to help them]. Instead, he listens to [and helps] godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
32 Ayfe qooqidi yelletdade ayfey xeelides gizaysa allamey medhetdasope oonnika siyy errena. (aiōn g165)
No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
33 Haysadey xoossafe gidonttako hayssa ooththanas danddaena.
So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
34 Isttika iza “neni ne Mule asattethay nagaran munuqettin yelletdays ne nuna tammarssana wana xaladi?” gidi iza goodida.
They replied to him, “You (were born [as a result of your parents’] sin [EUP]/bastard)! (Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!) [RHQ]” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
35 Addeza goodidaysa Yesussay siydes, iza demmidine “ne asa nan ammanyy?” gides.
Jesus heard [people say] that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven [is the Messiah]?”
36 Addezika “godo ta izan ammanana mala izi oonne?” gidi oychchides.
The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
37 Yesussayka “ne iza beyadasa hai nenara hasaizay izakoo” gides.
Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
38 Addezika “Godoo iza ammanadis” gidi izas hooki goyniides.
The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
39 Yesussayka “qooqeti xeelana malane xeelizayti qooqana mala pirdanas ta hayssa allamezan yadiis” gides.
Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge [the people in the world]. The result will be that [those who realize that they do not know God’s truth will perceive it. That is like] [MET] [enabling] those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who [falsely think] [IRO] that [they understand God’s truth will never understand it. That is like] [MET] [people] who are blind remaining blind permanently.”
40 Izara diza parssawistape issi issi asati hessa siydi “hesi ayy guuse? histtin nuka qooqe?” gida.
Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are [like] blind people, are you?”
41 Yesussayka istta inte qooqeta gididdakoo intes nagara gidena shin inte hai nu xiiloosu giza gish inte nagaray diza mala dana” gides.
Jesus said to them, “If you [realized that you did not yet know God’s truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like] blind people [who wanted to see. God would be able to] forgive your sins. But you are now [falsely] claiming that you [know God’s truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they] can see. [Because of that, God is not able to] forgive your sins.”
