Johana 9
1 Na rĩrĩa aathiiaga na njĩra-rĩ, akĩona mũndũ waciarĩtwo arĩ mũtumumu.
And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been 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 man 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 answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God might be manifested in him.
4 Rĩrĩa rĩothe arĩ mũthenya-rĩ, no nginya tũrute wĩra wa ũrĩa wandũmire. Ũtukũ nĩũrooka rĩrĩa gũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũruta wĩra.
I must perform the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Rĩrĩa ndĩ gũkũ thĩ, nĩ niĩ ũtheri wa thĩ.”
But as long as 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.
And when He had said these things, He spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
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 said to him, Go wash at the pool of Siloam (which signifies Sent.) He went therefore and washed, and came again 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?”
And the neighbors, and they that had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat 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, this is he: and others, It is like him: but he said, I am the man.
10 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maitho maku makĩhingũkire atĩa?”
Therefore they said to him, How were thine 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 answered and said, A man who is called Jesus, made clay and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed and received my sight.
12 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio arĩ ha?” Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũũĩ.”
Then said they unto him, Where is He? he answered, I know not.
13 Nao magĩtwara mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũtumumu kũrĩ Afarisai.
So they brought him, that had formerly been blind, to the pharisees.
14 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio Jesũ aaringirie ndoro na akĩhingũra maitho ma mũndũ ũcio warĩ wa Thabatũ.
Now it was the sabbath-day, when Jesus made the clay, 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.”
Therefore the pharisees also asked him again, how he recovered his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do 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 said some of the pharisees, This man is not of God, because He doth not keep the sabbath: but others said, How can a wicked man 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.”
So they asked the blind man again, What sayst thou concerning Him? as He hath opened thine eyes.
18 O na kũrĩ ũguo Ayahudi matiigana gwĩtĩkia ũhoro wa mũndũ ũcio atĩ aarĩ mũtumumu na atĩ nĩacookete kuona, nginya rĩrĩa maatũmanĩire aciari ake.
And he said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and recovered sight, till they called the parents of him, that had received his sight.
19 Makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ mwana wanyu? Ũyũ nĩwe mũroiga aaciarirwo arĩ mũtumumu? Rĩu ahotete atĩa kuona?”
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 Nao aciari ake magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũũĩ nĩ mwana witũ na tũũĩ aaciarirwo arĩ mũtumumu.
His parents answered them, We know that this 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 it is that he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age, ask him; he can 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.
These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if any one confessed Him to be Christ, he should be turned out of the synagogue.
23 Nĩkĩo aciari ake moigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũgima; mũũriei.”
Therefore his parents said, he is of age, ask him.
24 Magĩĩta mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũtumumu hĩndĩ ya keerĩ. Makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Goocithia Ngai. Nĩtũũĩ mũndũ ũyũ nĩ mwĩhia.”
Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great sinner.
25 Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ kana nĩ mwĩhia kana ti mwĩhia. No njũũĩ ũndũ ũyũ ũmwe; ndĩraarĩ mũtumumu na rĩu nĩndĩrona!”
He answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.
26 Ningĩ makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Agwĩkire atĩa? Akũhingũrire maitho atĩa?”
Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine eyes?
27 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩndamwĩra ũhoro o rĩu na inyuĩ mũtinathikĩrĩria. Mũrenda kũigua rĩngĩ nĩkĩ? O na inyuĩ nĩmũkwenda gũtuĩka arutwo ake?”
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye would not hear? why would ye now hear it again? have ye also a mind to be his disciples?
28 Nao makĩmũruma, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ mũrutwo wa mũndũ ũyũ! Ithuĩ tũrĩ arutwo a Musa!
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses:
29 Ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ Ngai nĩarĩirie Musa, no ha ũhoro wa mũndũ ũyũ-rĩ, tũtiũĩ o na kũrĩa oimĩte.”
but as for this man, we know not whence He is.
30 Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũcio nĩ ũrirũ-ĩ! Inyuĩ mũtiũĩ kũrĩa oimĩte, na nĩwe ũũhingũrire maitho.
The man answered, and said unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes.
31 Nĩtũũĩ atĩ Ngai ndathikagĩrĩria andũ ehia. Athikagĩrĩria mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũngai na ũrĩa wĩkaga wendi wake.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth.
From the beginning of the world it was never heard, that any one opened the eyes of a person that was born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Korwo mũndũ ũyũ ndoimĩte kũrĩ Ngai ndarĩ ũndũ angĩhota gwĩka.”
And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing.
34 Igũrũ rĩa ũhoro ũcio magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Wee waciarirwo ũrĩ na mehia. Ũngĩkĩgeria atĩa gũtũruta!” Nao makĩmũikania na kũu nja.
They answered, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?
35 Jesũ nĩaiguire atĩ nĩmaikĩtie mũndũ ũcio nja, na rĩrĩa aamuonire akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwĩtĩkĩtie Mũrũ wa Mũndũ?”
And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, ũcio nĩwe ũ? Njĩĩra, nĩgeetha ndĩmwĩtĩkie.”
He answered 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 unto him, Thou hast seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.
38 Nake mũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩndetĩkia,” na akĩmũthathaiya.
And he said, Lord, I believe; and worshipped 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, I am come into this world to execute judgement; that they who see not, may see; and that they who say they see, may be made blind.
40 Afarisai amwe arĩa maarĩ nake makĩigua akiuga ũguo, nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Atĩ atĩa? O na ithuĩ tũrĩ atumumu?”
And some of the pharisees who were present, heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?
41 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩrĩ atumumu-rĩ, mũtingĩrĩ na mehia; no rĩu tondũ muugaga atĩ nĩmuonaga-rĩ, mũgũikara o na wĩhia wanyu.”
Jesus replied, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin: but now ye say, We see; your sin therefore remaineth.
