Johana 9
1 Na rĩrĩa aathiiaga na njĩra-rĩ, akĩona mũndũ waciarĩtwo arĩ mũtumumu.
And passing along, He saw a man blind from his birth.
2 Nao arutwo ake makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Rabii, nũũ wehirie, nĩ mũndũ ũyũ kana nĩ aciari ake, nĩgeetha aciarwo arĩ mũtumumu?”
And His disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned, this one, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti mũndũ ũyũ kana aciari ake mehirie. No ũndũ ũyũ wekĩkire nĩgeetha wĩra wa Ngai wonanio mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wake.
Jesus responded, Neither did he nor his parents sin; but that the works of God may be made manifest in him.
4 Rĩrĩa rĩothe arĩ mũthenya-rĩ, no nginya tũrute wĩra wa ũrĩa wandũmire. Ũtukũ nĩũrooka rĩrĩa gũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũruta wĩra.
It behooveth us to work the works of Him that sent us, while it is day: the night comes, when no one is able to work.
5 Rĩrĩa ndĩ gũkũ thĩ, nĩ niĩ ũtheri wa thĩ.”
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Na aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩtua mata thĩ, akĩringia ndoro na mata macio, na akĩmĩhaka mũndũ ũcio maitho.
Saying these words, He spat on the ground, and made mortar out of the spittle, and besmeared the mortar on his eyes,
7 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũgethambe Karia-inĩ ga Siloamu” (narĩo rĩĩtwa Siloamu nĩ kuuga Gũtũmwo.) Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ na agĩĩthamba, na agĩũka mũciĩ akĩonaga.
and He said to him; Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is interpreted, Sent). Then he went away, and washed, and came seeing.
8 Nao andũ a itũũra rĩake na arĩa maamuonete mbere ĩyo akĩhooya ũteithio makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Githĩ mũndũ ũyũ ti ũrĩa ũraikaraga thĩ ahooyage ũteithio?”
Then the neighbors, and those seeing him previously, because he was a beggar, continued to say, Is not this the one sitting and begging?
9 Andũ amwe makiuga atĩ aarĩ we. Nao arĩa angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca, no kũhaana amũhaana.” Nowe agĩkĩrĩrĩria kuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ mũndũ ũcio.”
Some said, That he is: others said, No, but he is like him: he said, I am he.
10 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maitho maku makĩhingũkire atĩa?”
Then they said to him, How then were your eyes opened?
11 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa metaga Jesũ nĩwe ũringirie ndoro aahaka maitho, anjĩĩra thiĩ ngeethambe Karia-inĩ ga Siloamu. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndathiĩ na ndeethamba, na ndahota kuona.”
He responded, a man called Jesus made mortar and besmeared my eyes, and said, Go to Siloam, and wash. Then having gone away and washed, I looked up.
12 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio arĩ ha?” Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũũĩ.”
They said to him, Where is He? He says, I know not.
13 Nao magĩtwara mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũtumumu kũrĩ Afarisai.
They lead him to the Pharisees, him formerly blind.
14 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio Jesũ aaringirie ndoro na akĩhingũra maitho ma mũndũ ũcio warĩ wa Thabatũ.
And it was the Sabbath on the day on which Jesus made mortar, and opened his eyes.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afarisai o nao makĩmũũria ũrĩa aahotete kuona. Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Aahakire ndoro maitho, na niĩ ndeethamba na rĩu nĩndĩrona.”
Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he looked up. And he said to them, He placed the mortar on my eyes, and I washed, and see.
16 Nao Afarisai amwe makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ ndoimĩte kũrĩ Ngai, nĩgũkorwo ndamenyagĩrĩra Thabatũ.” No arĩa angĩ makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ mwĩhia ahota atĩa kũringa ciama ta ici?” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩamũkana.
Then certain ones of the Pharisees said, This man is not with God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is a wicked man able to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 Mũthia-inĩ Afarisai acio makĩhũgũkĩra mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũtumumu, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũkuuga atĩa ha ũhoro wake? Nĩwe araahingũrire maitho.” Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũnabii.”
Then they again say to the blind man, What do you say concerning Him, because He opened your eyes? And he said that, He is a prophet.
18 O na kũrĩ ũguo Ayahudi matiigana gwĩtĩkia ũhoro wa mũndũ ũcio atĩ aarĩ mũtumumu na atĩ nĩacookete kuona, nginya rĩrĩa maatũmanĩire aciari ake.
Then the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he was blind, and looked up, until they called the parents of him that looked up,
19 Makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ mwana wanyu? Ũyũ nĩwe mũroiga aaciarirwo arĩ mũtumumu? Rĩu ahotete atĩa kuona?”
and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?
20 Nao aciari ake magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũũĩ nĩ mwana witũ na tũũĩ aaciarirwo arĩ mũtumumu.
Then his parents responded and said; We know that he is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 No ũrĩa ahotete kuona, kana ũrĩa ũmũhingũrire maitho make, ithuĩ tũtiũĩ. Mũũriei nĩ mũgima, nĩekwĩyarĩrĩria.”
but how he now sees, we know not; nor who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he has majority; he will speak for himself.
22 Aciari ake moigire ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Ayahudi, nĩgũkorwo Ayahudi nĩmarĩkĩtie gũtua atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũngiuga atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ nĩegũikio nja ya thunagogi.
And his parents said these things, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already stipulated, that if any one should confess Him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Nĩkĩo aciari ake moigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũgima; mũũriei.”
Therefore his parents said that, He has majority, ask him.
24 Magĩĩta mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũtumumu hĩndĩ ya keerĩ. Makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Goocithia Ngai. Nĩtũũĩ mũndũ ũyũ nĩ mwĩhia.”
Then they asked the man the second time who was blind, and said to him, Give God the glory: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ kana nĩ mwĩhia kana ti mwĩhia. No njũũĩ ũndũ ũyũ ũmwe; ndĩraarĩ mũtumumu na rĩu nĩndĩrona!”
Then he responded, If He is a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that being blind I now see.
26 Ningĩ makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Agwĩkire atĩa? Akũhingũrire maitho atĩa?”
Then they said to him, What did He to you? how did He open your eyes?
27 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩndamwĩra ũhoro o rĩu na inyuĩ mũtinathikĩrĩria. Mũrenda kũigua rĩngĩ nĩkĩ? O na inyuĩ nĩmũkwenda gũtuĩka arutwo ake?”
He responded to them, I told you already, and you did not hearken: why do you wish to hear again? whether do you wish to become His disciples?
28 Nao makĩmũruma, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ mũrutwo wa mũndũ ũyũ! Ithuĩ tũrĩ arutwo a Musa!
They railed on him, and said, You are His disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses:
29 Ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ Ngai nĩarĩirie Musa, no ha ũhoro wa mũndũ ũyũ-rĩ, tũtiũĩ o na kũrĩa oimĩte.”
we know that God spoke to Moses: but we do not know this One, whence He is.
30 Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũcio nĩ ũrirũ-ĩ! Inyuĩ mũtiũĩ kũrĩa oimĩte, na nĩwe ũũhingũrire maitho.
The man responded and said to them; For in this it is wonderful, that you do not know whence He is, He truly opened my eyes.
31 Nĩtũũĩ atĩ Ngai ndathikagĩrĩria andũ ehia. Athikagĩrĩria mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũngai na ũrĩa wĩkaga wendi wake.
We know that God hears not sinners: but if any one may be a worshiper of God, and do His will, He hears him.
It was never heard of from the beginning that any one opened the eyes of a man who was born blind: (aiōn g165)
33 Korwo mũndũ ũyũ ndoimĩte kũrĩ Ngai ndarĩ ũndũ angĩhota gwĩka.”
if He were not with God, He would not be able to do anything.
34 Igũrũ rĩa ũhoro ũcio magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Wee waciarirwo ũrĩ na mehia. Ũngĩkĩgeria atĩa gũtũruta!” Nao makĩmũikania na kũu nja.
They responded and said to him, Thou art altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesũ nĩaiguire atĩ nĩmaikĩtie mũndũ ũcio nja, na rĩrĩa aamuonire akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwĩtĩkĩtie Mũrũ wa Mũndũ?”
Jesus heard that they cast him out; and having found him, said, Do you believe on the Son of man?
36 Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, ũcio nĩwe ũ? Njĩĩra, nĩgeetha ndĩmwĩtĩkie.”
He responded and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on, Him?
37 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩũmuonete; nĩwe ũyũ ũraaria nawe.”
Jesus said to him, Indeed you have seen Him, and the One speaking with you is He.
38 Nake mũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩndetĩkia,” na akĩmũthathaiya.
And He said, I believe, Lord: and he worshiped Him.
39 Ningĩ Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Njũkĩte gũkũ thĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gũtuanĩra ciira, nĩgeetha arĩa atumumu mahote kuona, nao arĩa monaga matuĩke atumumu.”
And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, that those not seeing may see; and those seeing may be made blind.
40 Afarisai amwe arĩa maarĩ nake makĩigua akiuga ũguo, nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Atĩ atĩa? O na ithuĩ tũrĩ atumumu?”
And those of the Pharisees being with Him heard, and said to Him, Whether are we also blind?
41 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩrĩ atumumu-rĩ, mũtingĩrĩ na mehia; no rĩu tondũ muugaga atĩ nĩmuonaga-rĩ, mũgũikara o na wĩhia wanyu.”
Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would not have sin: but now you say that, We see: your sin remaineth.
