Jọn 9
1 Mgbe ọ na-agafe, ọ hụrụ otu nwoke kpuru ìsì site nʼafọ nne ya.
And while passing, he saw a man blind from his mother's womb.
2 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya sị, “Onye ozizi, onye mehiere? Nwoke a ka ọ bụ ndị mụrụ ya, nke mere e ji mụọ ya nʼìsí?”
And his disciples asked him, and said: Our Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jisọs sịrị, “Nwoke a emehieghị, ndị mụrụ ya emehiekwaghị, kama o kpuru ìsì ka ọrụ Chineke pụta ìhè na ndụ ya.
Jesus said to them: Neither did he sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be seen in him.
4 Anyị aghaghị ịrụ ọrụ onye ahụ zitere m, mgbe chi ka dị, anyasị na-abịa mgbe o nweghị onye pụrụ ịrụ ọrụ.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh, in which no one can work.
5 Dị ka m nọ nʼụwa, Abụ m ìhè nke ụwa.”
So long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Mgbe o kwusiri nke a, ọ bụsara ọnụ mmiri asụ nʼala gwakọta ya na aja, werekwa aja ahụ tee nwoke ahụ nʼanya.
And having spoken thus, he spit on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and spread it on the eyes of the blind man;
7 Ọ gwara ya, “Gaa nʼọdọ mmiri Sailọm saa ihu gị” (nke a pụtara “Zitere”). Ọ gara saa ihu ya, lọghachita na-ahụ ụzọ.
and said to him: Go, wash in the baptistery of Siloam. And he went, and washed, and came away seeing.
8 Ndị agbataobi ya na ndị nʼahụ ya nʼoge gara aga ka ọ na-arịọ arịrịọ sịrị, “Nke a, ọ bụghị nwoke ahụ na-anọdụ ala na-arịọ arịrịọ?”
And his neighbors, and they by whom he had before been seen begging, said: Is not this he, who sat and begged?
9 Ụfọdụ na-asị, “Ọ bụ ya.” Ma ndị ọzọ na-asịkwa, “Ọ bụghị ya. Ọ bụ onye yiri ya.” Ma ọ na-asị, “Abụ m nwoke ahụ.”
Some said, It is he: and others said, No; but he is very like him. But he said: I am he.
10 Ha na-asị ya, “Olee otu anya gị sịrị meghee?”
And they said to him: How were thy eyes opened?
11 Ọ zara, “Nwoke a na-akpọ Jisọs gwakọtara ụrọ tee m nʼanya. Ọ gwara m sị, ‘Gaa saa ihu gị nʼọdọ mmiri Sailọm.’ A gara m saa onwe m, malitekwa ịhụ ụzọ.”
He answered, and said to them: A man whose name is Jesus, made mud and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, Go, wash in the waters of Siloam. And I went, and washed, and my sight was restored.
12 Ha sịrị ya, “Olee ebe nwoke ahụ nọ?” Ọ sịrị, “Amaghị m.”
They said to him: Where is he? He said to them: I know not.
13 Ha dutere nwoke ahụ kpuru ìsì na mbụ nʼihu ndị Farisii.
And they brought him that had been blind, before the Pharisees.
14 Ma ọ bụ nʼụbọchị izuike ka Jisọs gwakọtara aja, jiri ya meghe anya ya.
Now it was on the sabbath that Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.
15 Ya mere, ndị Farisii jụrụ ya otu o si bido ịhụ ụzọ. Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ gwakọtara aja tee m nʼanya, a sakwara m ihu ma ugbu a ana m ahụ ụzọ.”
And again the Pharisees asked him: How was thy sight restored? And he said to them: He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and my sight was restored.
16 Ụfọdụ ndị Farisii sịrị, “Nwoke a esiteghị nʼebe Chineke nọ bịa, nʼihi na ọ dịghị edebe ụbọchị izuike.” Ma ndị ọzọ na-asị, “Olee otu onye mmehie ga-esi rụọ ọrụ ịrịbama ndị dị otu a?” Nkewa dịrị nʼetiti ha.
And some of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, for he doth not observe the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner, work these signs? And there was a division among them.
17 Ya mere, ha sịrị nwoke ahụ kpuru ìsì, “Gịnị ka i nwere ikwu banyere ya? Ọ bụ anya gị ka o meghere.” Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ onye amụma.”
They say again to the blind man: What sayest thou of him, seeing he hath opened thy eyes? He said to them: I say, that he is a prophet.
18 Ma ndị Juu ahụ ekweghị na nwoke a bụ onye kpuru ìsì na mbụ, nke e mere ka ọ hụ ụzọ, tutu ruo mgbe ha kpọrọ ndị mụrụ ya.
And the Jews would not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and recovered sight, until they called the parents of him who recovered sight.
19 Ha jụrụ ha sị, “Onye a ọ bụ nwa unu, onye unu na-asị na o kpuru ìsì site nʼoge a mụrụ ya? O si aṅaa ahụ ụzọ ugbu a?”
And they asked them: Is this your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? And how doth he now see?
20 Ndị mụrụ ya zara, “nke a bụ nwa anyị. Anyị matakwara na o kpuru ìsì site nʼoge anyị mụrụ ya.
And his parents answered and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Ma otu o si ahụ ụzọ ugbu a maọbụ onye meghere anya ya, anyị amaghị. Jụọnụ ya. Ọ bụ dimkpa, ya zara ọnụ ya.”
but how he now seeth, or who opened his eyes, we know not. He hath come to his years, ask him; he will speak for himself.
22 Ihe a ka ndị mụrụ ya kwuru nʼihi na ha na-atụ egwu ndị Juu. Ndị kpebirila na ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ekwuo na Jisọs bụ Kraịst ahụ, ha ga-achụpụ onye ahụ site nʼụlọ ekpere ha.
These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had decided, that if any one should confess him to be Messiah, they would expel him from the synagogue.
23 Nke a mere ndị mụrụ ya jiri sị, “Ọ bụ dimkpa, unu jụọ ya.”
For this reason his parents said, He hath come to his years, ask him.
24 Ha kpọrọ nwoke a nke ugboro abụọ, bụ onye ahụ kpuburu ìsì, sị ya, “Nye Chineke otuto. Anyị maara na nwoke a bụ onye mmehie.”
And they called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; for we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Ọ zara, “Amaghị m maọbụ onye mmehie ma ọ bụghị. Ma otu ihe ka m maara, ekpuru m ìsì na mbụ ma ugbu a ana m ahụ ụzọ.”
He replied, and said to them: Whether he is a sinner, I know not; but, one thing I know, that I was blind, and lo, now I see.
26 Ha sịrị ya, “Gịnị ka o mere gị? Olee otu o si meghe anya gị?”
They said to him again: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?
27 Ọ zara ha, “Agwala m unu ihe niile, ma unu achọghị ikwere. Gịnị mere unu ji chọọ ịnụ ya ọzọ? Unu chọkwara ịghọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya?”
He said to them: I have told you, and ye did not hear. Why would ye hear again? Do ye also wish to become his disciples?
28 Ha bigbọrọ ya sị, “Gị onwe gị bụrụkwa onye na-eso ụzọ ya! Anyị bụ ndị na-eso ụzọ Mosis.
But they reproached him, and said to him: Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 Anyị mara na Chineke gwara Mosis okwu, ma gbasara nwoke a, anyị amaghị ebe o siri bịa.”
And we know that God conversed with Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
30 Nwoke ahụ zaghachiri sị ha, “Ma otu ọ dị, nke a bụ ihe ịtụnanya! Unu amaghị ebe o sịrị bịa ma o meghere anya m.
The man replied and said to them: In this therefore is something to be admired, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened my eyes.
31 Anyị mara na Chineke adịghị ege ndị mmehie ntị, ma ọ na-ege ntị onye na-atụ egwu ya na onye na-eme uche ya.
Now we know, that God heareth not the voice of sinners; but him that feareth him, and doeth his pleasure, him he heareth.
Never hath it been heard, that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Ọ bụrụ na nwoke a esiteghị nʼebe Chineke nọ, ọ gaghị enwe ike ime ihe ọbụla.”
If this man were not of God, he could not do this thing.
34 Ha zara sị ya, “Gị onye a mụrụ nʼime mmehie, ị na-achọ ikuziri anyị ihe?” Ha chụpụrụ ya nʼezi.
They replied, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they expelled him.
35 Jisọs nụrụ na ha achụpụla ya nʼezi, ma mgbe ọ chọtara ya, ọ sịrị ya, “I kweere na Nwa nke Mmadụ?”
And Jesus heard that they had expelled him; and he found him, and said to him: Believest thou on the Son of God?
36 Ọ zara sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụ onye? Gwa m ka m nwe ike ikwere na ya.”
And he that was healed, answered and said: My Lord, who is he, that I may believe on him?
37 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ị hụla ya ugbu a; onye gị na ya na-ekwurịta okwu bụ onye ahụ.”
Jesus said to him: Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe m, ekwela m.” Ọ kpọrọ isiala nye ya.
And he said: My Lord, I believe: and he fell down, and worshipped him.
39 Jisọs sịrị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi ikpe ka m ji bịa nʼụwa, ka ndị na-adịghị ahụ ụzọ bido ịhụ ụzọ, na ka ndị na-ahụ ụzọ ghọọ ndị kpuru ìsì.”
And Jesus said: For the judgment of this world, have I come; that they who see not, might see; and that they who see, might become blind.
40 Mgbe ụfọdụ ndị Farisii nọ nso nʼebe ahụ nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị ya, “Anyị onwe anyị, anyị bụkwa ndị kpuru ìsì?”
And some of those Pharisees who were with him, heard these things; and they said to him: How? Are we also blind?
41 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu kpuru ìsì, ikpe ọmụma mmehie agaghị ama unu, ma ugbu a ebe unu sị na unu na-ahụ ụzọ ikpe ọmụma unu na-adịgide.”
Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would be without sin; but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is established.
