Jọn 9
1 Mgbe ọ na-agafe, ọ hụrụ otu nwoke kpuru ìsì site nʼafọ nne ya.
And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his birth.
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, saying, Master, 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 answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God might be manifested 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 perform the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Dị ka m nọ nʼụwa, Abụ m ìhè nke ụwa.”
But as 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 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 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 at the pool of Siloam (which signifies Sent.) He went therefore and washed, and came again 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 the neighbors, and they that had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat begging?
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, this is he: and others, It is like him: but he said, I am the man.
10 Ha na-asị ya, “Olee otu anya gị sịrị meghee?”
Therefore they said to him, How were thine 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, 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 Ha sịrị ya, “Olee ebe nwoke ahụ nọ?” Ọ sịrị, “Amaghị m.”
Then said they unto him, Where is He? he answered, I know not.
13 Ha dutere nwoke ahụ kpuru ìsì na mbụ nʼihu ndị Farisii.
So they brought him, that had formerly been blind, to the pharisees.
14 Ma ọ bụ nʼụbọchị izuike ka Jisọs gwakọtara aja, jiri ya meghe anya ya.
Now it was the sabbath-day, when Jesus made the clay, 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.”
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 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.
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 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.”
So they asked the blind man again, What sayst thou concerning Him? as He hath opened thine eyes.
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 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 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, saying, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then 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.
His parents answered them, 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 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 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 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 Nke a mere ndị mụrụ ya jiri sị, “Ọ bụ dimkpa, unu jụọ ya.”
Therefore his parents said, he is of age, 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.”
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 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 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 Ha sịrị ya, “Gịnị ka o mere gị? Olee otu o si meghe anya gị?”
Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine 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 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 Ha bigbọrọ ya sị, “Gị onwe gị bụrụkwa onye na-eso ụzọ ya! Anyị bụ ndị na-eso ụzọ Mosis.
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 Anyị mara na Chineke gwara Mosis okwu, ma gbasara nwoke a, anyị amaghị ebe o siri bịa.”
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 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 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 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 Ọ bụrụ na nwoke a esiteghị nʼebe Chineke nọ, ọ gaghị enwe ike ime ihe ọbụla.”
And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing.
34 Ha zara sị ya, “Gị onye a mụrụ nʼime mmehie, ị na-achọ ikuziri anyị ihe?” Ha chụpụrụ ya nʼezi.
They answered, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?
35 Jisọs nụrụ na ha achụpụla ya nʼezi, ma mgbe ọ chọtara ya, ọ sịrị ya, “I kweere na Nwa nke Mmadụ?”
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 Ọ zara sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụ onye? Gwa m ka m nwe ike ikwere na ya.”
He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, 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 unto 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, Lord, I believe; 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, 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 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 the pharisees who were present, heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?
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 replied, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin: but now ye say, We see; your sin therefore remaineth.
