Ioane 9
1 A I kona hele ana, ike no ia i kekahi kanaka i makapo mai ka hanau ana mai.
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
2 Ninau aku la kana poe haumana ia ia, i aku la, E Rabi, owai ka i hewa, oia nei anei, a o kona mau makua anei, i hanau makapo mai ai ia?
“Rabbi,” asked his disciples, “who was it that sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 I mai la o Iesu, Aole i hewa oia nei, aole hoi o kona mau makua: aka, o ka mea ia e ikeia'i na hana a ke Akua ia ia.
“Neither the man nor the parents,” replied Jesus, “but he was born blind so that the work of God should be made plain in him.
4 He pono no'u e hana i na hana a ka mea nana au i hoouna mai, oiai ka la; e hiki mai auanei ka po, aohe kanaka e hiki ke hana ilaila.
We must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Ia'u e noho ai i ke ao nei, owau no ka malamalama o keia ao.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 A pau ae la kana olelo ana ia mau mea, kuha iho la ia ma ka lepo, a hokahokai iho la i ke kuha me ka lepo, a hoopala ae la i ka lepo ma na maka o ua makapo la;
Saying this, Jesus spat on the ground, made some paste with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
7 A i mai la ia ia, E hele oe, e holoi ma ka wai auau o Siloama, (ma ka hoohalike ana, O ka hoounaia: ) nolaila hele aku la ia, a holoi iho la, a hoi mai la e ike ana.
“Go,” he said, “and wash your eyes in the Bath of Siloam” (a word which means ‘messenger’). So the man went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see.
8 No ia mea, ninau ae la na hoalauna, a me ka poe i ike ia ia mamua, he makapo. Aole anei oia nei ka mea i noho e nonoi ana?
His neighbors, and those who had formerly known him by sight as a beggar, exclaimed, “Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?”
9 I mai la kekahi poe, Oia no: a kekahi poe, Ua like oia me ia; aka, i mai la oia, Owau no ia.
“Yes,” some said, “it is”; while others said, “No, but he is like him.” The man himself said, “I am he.”
10 Nolaila, ninau aku la lakou ia ia, Pehea la i hookaakaaia'i kou mau maka?
“How did you get your sight, then?” they asked.
11 Olelo mai la ia, i mai la, He kanaka i kapaia o Iesu, nana i hokahokai ka lepo, a hopala i kuu maka, a i mai la la'u, E hele i ka wai auau o Siloama, a holoi. Hele aku au, a holoi, a loaa ia'u ka ike.
“The man whom they call Jesus,” he answered, “made a paste, and anointed my eyes, and said to me ‘Go to Siloam and wash your eyes.’ So I went and washed my eyes, and gained my sight.”
12 No ia hoi, ninau aku la lakou ia ia, Aihea oia? I mai la ia, Aole au i ike.
“Where is he?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
13 Alakai aku la lakou i ka mea i makapo mamua i ka poe Parisaio.
They took the man, who had been blind, to the Pharisees.
14 He Sabati ka manawa a Iesu i hokahokai ai i ka lepo, a hookaakaa mai ai i kona maka.
Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the paste and gave him his sight.
15 Alaila ninau hou aku la ka poe Parisaio ia ia i ka mea i ike ai oia. I mai la ia ia lakou, Hoopala mai la ia i ka lepo ma kuu mau maka, holoi iho la au, a ua ike.
So the Pharisees also questioned the man as to how he had gained his sight. “He put a paste on my eyes,” he answered, “and I washed them, and I can see.”
16 No ia hoi, olelo ae la kekahi poe o na Parisaio, Aole no ke Akua keia kanaka, no ka mea, aole ia i malama i ka Sabati. Olelo mai la kokahi poe, Pehea la e hiki ai i ke kanaka hewa ke hana i na hana mana me keia? A mokuahana iho la lakou.
“The man cannot be from God,” said some of the Pharisees, “for he does not keep the Sabbath.” “How is it possible,” retorted others, “for a bad man to give signs like this?”
17 Ninau hou aku la lakou i ua makapo la, Heaha kau e olelo ai nona, I kona hookaakaa i kou mau maka? I mai la keia, He kaula ia.
So there was a difference of opinion among them, and they again questioned the man. “What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?”
18 Aole nae i manaoio na Iudaio nona, ua makapo ia, a ua loaa ia ia ka ike, a kahea aku la lakou i na makua o ka mea i loaa ka ike.
The religious authorities, however, refused to believe that he had been blind and had gained his sight, until they had called his parents and questioned them.
19 A ninau aku la lakou ia laua, i aku la, O ka olua keiki anei keia, ka mea a olua i i mai ai, ua hanau makapo ia? Pehea la ia i ike ai i keia wa?
“Is this your son,” they asked, “who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?”
20 Olelo mai la kona mau makua ia lakou, i mai la, Ua ike maua, o ka maua keiki no ia, a ua hanau makapo ia:
“We know that this is our son,” answered the parents, “and that he was born blind;
21 Aka, o ka mea i ike ai oia i keia wa, aole o maua i ike; o ka mea hoi nana i hookaakaa kona mau maka, aole o maua i ike. He kanakamakua no ia, e ninau aku oukou ia ia; nana no e hai mai nona iho.
but how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him – he is old enough – he will tell you about himself.”
22 Olelo mai la kona mau makua pela, no ka makau i ka poe Iudaio; no ka mea, ua holo e ka manao o ka poe Iudaio, ina paha e hooiaio mai kekahi, oia ka Mesia, e kipakuia oia iwaho o ka halehalawai.
His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the authorities; for the authorities had already agreed that, if anyone should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.
23 No ia mea, i olelo mai ai kona mau makua, He kanakamakua ia; e ninau aku oukou ia ia.
This was why his parents said ‘He is old enough; ask him.’
24 Alaila kahea hou aku la lakou i ua kanaka la, ka mea i makapo, i aku la ia ia, E hoonani aku oe i ke Akua: ua ike makou he kanaka hewa keia.
So the authorities again called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give God the praise; we know that this is a bad man.”
25 No ia mea hoi, olelo mai la ia, i mai la, Ina he kanaka hewa ia aole au i ike; hookahi mea a'u i ike, mamua he makapo ko'u, ano la ua ike.
“I know nothing about his being a bad man,” he replied. “One thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I can see.”
26 Ninau hou aku la lakou ia ia, Heaha kana i hana mai ai ia oe? Pehea la ia i hookaakaa mai ai i kou mau maka?
“What did he do to you?” they asked. “How did he give you your sight?”
27 I mai la oia ia lakou, Ua hai aku au ia oukou, aole oukou i hoolohe mai; no ke aha la o makemake ai oukou e lohe hou? Ke manao nei anei oukou e lilo i haumana naua?
“I told you just now,” he answered, “and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Surely you also do not want to become his disciples?”
28 Henehene aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, O oe no kana haumana; aka, he poe haumana makou na Mose.
“You are his disciple,” they retorted scornfully. “But we are disciples of Moses.
29 Ua ike no makou, ua olelo mai no ke Akua ma o Mose la: aka, o keia kanaka, aole makou i ike i kona wahi i hele mai ai.
We know that God spoke to Moses; but, as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.”
30 Olelo aku la ua kanaka la, i aku la ia lakou, He mea kupanaha ka keia, o ko oukou ike ole i kona wahi i hele mai, ua hookaakaa mai no nae ia i ko'u mau maka.
“Well,” the man replied, “this is very strange; you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has given me my sight!
31 Ua ike no kakou aole ke Akua e hoolohe mai i ka poe hewa; aka, ina e haipule kekahi i ke Akua, a e hana hoi i kona makemake, oia kana e hoolohe mai ai.
We know that God never listens to bad people, but, when a person is god-fearing and does God’s will, God listens to them.
32 Mai ko kumu mai, aole i loheia, ua hookaakaa kekahi i na maka o ka mea i hanau makapo mai. (aiōn g165)
Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as anyone’s giving sight to a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 lua aole no ke Akua mai keia kanaka, ina aole loa e hiki ia ia ke hana i kekahi mea.
If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.”
34 Olelo aku la lakou, i aku la ia ia, Ua hanau okoa oe iloko o na hewa, a ke ao mai nei anei oe ia makou? A kipaku aku la lakou ia ia mawaho.
“You,” they retorted, “were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?” So they expelled him.
35 Lohe ae la o Iesu, ua kipaku lakou ia ia iwaho; a halawai aku la me ia, i aku la ia ia, Ko manaoio nei anei oe i ke Keiki a ke Akua?
Jesus heard of their having put him out; and, when he had found the man, he asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 Ninau aku la ia, i aku la, Owai la ia, e ka Haku, i manaoio aku ai au ia ia?
“Tell me who he is, Sir,” he replied, “so that I may believe in him.”
37 I mai la o Iesu ia ia, Ua ike no oe ia ia, a o ka mea e kamailio pu ana me oe, oia no ia.
“Not only have you seen him,” said Jesus, “but it is he who is now speaking to you.”
38 I aku la kela, Ke manaoio nei au: a kukuli hoomaikai aku ia ia.
“Then, Sir, I do believe,” said the man, bowing to the ground before him;
39 Olelo mai la o Iesu, No ka hooponopono ka'u i hele mai ai i keia ao, i lilo ai ka poe ike ole i poe ike; a i lilo ai ka poe ike i poe makapo.
and Jesus added, “It was to put people to the test that I came into this world, in order that those that cannot see should see, and that those that can see should become blind.”
40 A lohe ae la kekahi poe o na Parisaio me ia i keia mea, ninau aku la lakou ia ia, o makou anei kekahi i makapo?
Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him said, “Then are we blind too?”
41 I mai la o Iesu ia lakou, Ina ua makapo oukou ina ua hewa ole oukou: aka, ke olelo nei oukou, Ua ike makou; no ia mea, ke koe nei ko oukou hewa.
“If you had been blind,” replied Jesus, “you would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, you say ‘We can see,’ and so your sin remains.
