Jan 9
1 Jezi t'ap pase yon kote konsa lè l' wè yon nonm ki te avèg depi li te fèt.
And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 Disip li yo mande li: Mèt, poukisa nonm sa a te fèt tou avèg en? Se peche pa l' osinon peche manman l' ak papa l' ki lakòz sa?
And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 Jezi reponn yo: Se pa ni peche pa l' ni peche manman l' ak papa l' ki lakòz sa. Li fèt avèg, se pou moun ka wè sa pouvwa Bondye a ka fè nan li.
Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4 Toutotan fè klè toujou, se pou m' fè travay moun ki voye m' lan ban m' fè a. Talè konsa pral fè nwit, pesonn p'ap ka travay.
We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Toutotan mwen la sou latè, mwen se limyè k'ap klere tout moun ki sou latè.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6 Apre li fin di pawòl sa yo, Jezi krache atè, li fè yon ti labou ak krache a, li fwote je nonm lan avèk labou a.
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 Li di l' konsa: Al lave figi ou nan gwo basen Siloe a. (Mo Siloe sa a vle di: Moun yo te voye a.) Avèg la ale, li lave figi li. Lè l' tounen, li te ka wè nan tou de je l' yo.
and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
8 Moun ki te rete bò lakay li yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te konn wè l' ap mande charite anvan sa, yo tout t'ap di: Apa nonm ki te konn chita ap mande charite a!
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 Gen moun ki t'ap di: Se li menm wi. Gen lòt ki t'ap di tou: Non. Se pa li. Men, li sanble l' anpil. Lè sa a nonm lan di yo: Se mwen menm menm.
Some said, "It is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
10 Yo mande li: Ki jan ou fè wè nan je ou yo?
They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
11 Li reponn yo: Nonm yo rele Jezi a fè yon ti labou, li fwote je m' ak labou a, epi li di m' al lave figi m' nan basen Siloe a. m' ale. Lè m' fin lave figi m', mwen wè m' wè.
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 Yo mande li: Kote nonm sa a? Li reponn yo: Mwen pa konnen non.
Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13 Yo pran nonm ki te avèg la, yo mennen l' bay farizyen yo.
They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Se te yon jou repo Jezi te fè labou a pou louvri je l' yo.
Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 Se poutèt sa, farizyen yo tou, yo mande nonm lan sak te pase ki te fè l' ka wè koulye a. Li di yo: Li mete ti kras labou sou je m' yo, lèfini mwen lave figi mwen. Se konsa, koulye a mwen wè.
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 Te gen de twa nan farizyen yo ki t'ap di: Nonm ki fè sa a pa ka soti nan Bondye. Li pa obeyi lalwa repo a. Men, gen lòt ki t'ap di: Ki jan yon nonm k'ap fè sa ki mal kapab fè yon mirak konsa? Te vin gen divizyon nan mitan yo.
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 Farizyen yo mande nonm ki te avèg la: Ou menm, dapre ou, nonm ki louvri je ou yo, ki moun li ye? Li reponn: Se yon pwofèt li ye.
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 Men, jwif yo pa t' vle kwè li te avèg anvan sa. Yo fè chache papa l' ak manman l' pou poze yo kekzyon.
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 Yo mande yo: Eske nonm sa a se pitit gason nou an vre? Eske se vre li te fèt avèg? Sak pase l' ki fè li wè koulye a?
and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 Papa a ak manman an reponn yo: Nou konnen se pitit gason nou li ye, li te fèt avèg.
His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Men, nou pa konnen sak pase l' ki fè l' wè koulye a. Nou pa konnen tou ki moun ki louvri je li. Nou mèt mande li. li ase gran konsa. Li ka reponn li menm.
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 Papa a ak manman an te pale konsa paske yo te pè jwif yo. Paske, jwif yo te tonbe dakò sou pwen sa a: Tout moun ki ta di Jezi se Kris la, yo t'ap mete yo deyò nan sinagòg la.
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 Se poutèt sa papa l' ak manman l' te di: li ase gran, li ka reponn li menm. Nou mèt mande li.
Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
24 Farizyen yo rele nonm ki te avèg la yon dezyèm fwa. Yo di li: Di verite a devan Bondye. Nou konnen nonm sa a se yon nonm k'ap fè sa ki mal.
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 Li reponn yo: Mwen pa konnen si se yon moun k'ap fè sa ki mal osinon sa ki byen. Yon sèl bagay mwen konnen: mwen te avèg, koulye a mwen wè.
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 Yo mande li: Men, kisa l' te fè? Ki jan l' te fè pou louvri je ou yo?
They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27 Li reponn yo: Mwen deja di nou ki jan, men nou pa t'ap koute. Poukisa nou vle m' redi l' ankò? Gen lè, nou menm tou, nou ta renmen tounen disip li?
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 Yo joure l', yo di l' konsa: Se ou menm ki disip li! Nou menm, nou se disip Moyiz.
They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Nou konnen Bondye te pale ak Moyiz. Men, li menm, nou pa menm konnen ki bò l' soti.
We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
30 Nonm lan reponn yo: Ala bagay dwòl en! Nou pa konnen ki bò l' soti? Epi, se li menm ki louvri je m' yo!
The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 Nou tout nou konnen sa: Bondye pa tande lè se yon moun k'ap fè sa ki mal ki pale avè li. Men, se pa menm bagay lè se yon moun ki respekte l', yon moun ki fè volonte l' k'ap pale avè li.
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 Si nonm sa a pa t' soti nan Bondye, li pa ta ka fè anyen.
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
34 Yo reponn li: Se nan peche ou fèt, epi ou konprann pou ou vin ban nou leson koulye a? Epi yo mete l' deyò nan sinagòg la.
They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out.
35 Jezi te vin konnen yo te mete nonm ki te avèg la deyò nan sinagòg la. Lè li kontre avè l', li di l' konsa: Eske ou kwè nan Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a?
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36 Nonm lan reponn li: Mèt, di m' ki moun li ye pou m' ka kwè nan li?
He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
37 Jezi reponn li: Apa w'ap gade li! Se li menm k'ap pale avè ou la a wi.
Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
38 Nonm lan di: Seyè, mwen kwè. Epi li tonbe ajenou devan Jezi.
He said, "Lord, I believe." and he worshiped him.
39 Lè sa a, Jezi di: Mwen vin sou tè a pou yon jijman: Moun ki avèg yo pral wè. Men moun ki wè yo pral tounen avèg.
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 Te gen kèk farizyen la avèk li. Lè yo tande pawòl sa yo, yo mande l': Eske nou menm tou, nou avèg?
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
41 Jezi reponn yo: Si nou te avèg, nou pa ta koupab. Men, n'ap plede di nou wè, nou wè. Se poutèt sa nou antò toujou.
Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
