Jaona 9
1 Ary raha nandalo Jesosy, dia nahita lehilahy jamba hatry ny fony vao teraka.
And as he passed by, he saw a man that had been blind from his birth.
2 Ary ny mpianany nanontany Azy hoe: Raby ô, iza moa no nanota, io lehilahy io va, sa ny ray aman-dreniny, no dia teraka jamba izy?
And his disciples asked him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesosy namaly hoe: Tsy io lehilahy io no nanota, na ny ray aman-dreniny, fa ny hanehoana ny asan’ Andriamanitra eo aminy.
Jesus answered: Neither this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
4 Isika tsy maintsy manao ny asan’ izay naniraka Ahy, raha mbola antoandro; avy ny alina, ka tsy mahazo miasa ny olona.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man can work.
5 Raha amin’ izao tontolo izao Aho, dia fahazavan’ izao tontolo izao.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Rehefa nilaza izany Izy, dia nandrora tamin’ ny tany ka nanao feta tamin’ ny rora, dia nahosony ny mason’ ilay jamba.
Having said this, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on the eyes of the blind man,
7 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Andeha, sasao ny masonao any amin’ ny farihy Siloama (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Nirahina). Dia lasa izy ka nanasa, dia niverina nahiratra.
and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam; which, translated, means Sent. He went, therefore, and washed and came seeing.
8 Koa izay nifanolotra taminy sy izay nahita azy fa mpangataka izy taloha dia nanao hoe: Tsy ity va ilay nipetraka nangataka?
Then his neighbors, and those who had before seen him, that he was blind, said: Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Hoy ny sasany: Izy ity, fa hoy ny sasany: Tsia, fa tahaka azy ihany; ary hoy kosa izy: Izaho no izy.
Some said: It is he. Others: He is like him. But he said: I am he.
10 Dia hoy ny olona taminy: Ahoana no nahiratan’ ny masonao?
Then they said to him: How were your eyes opened?
11 Ary izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Ilay Lehilahy atao hoe Jesosy no nanao feta, dia nanosotra ny masoko ka nanao tamiko hoe: Mankanesa any Siloama, ka sasao ny masonao; koa nandeha aho, dia nanasa azy, ka dia nahiratra.
He answered and said: A man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. After I had gone and washed, I received my sight.
12 Ary hoy ny olona taminy: Aiza moa izany Lehilahy izany? Hoy ralehilahy: Tsy fantatro.
Then they said to him: Where is he? He said: I know not.
13 Ary ilay jamba taloha dia nentiny tany amin’ ny Fariseo.
They brought to the Pharisees him that had formerly been blind.
14 Ary tamin’ ny andro Sabata no nanaovan’ i Jesosy ny feta sy nampahiratany ny mason-dralehilahy.
And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 Ary ny Fariseo koa nanontany azy izay nahiratan’ ny masony. Dia hoy izy taminy: Nasiany feta ny masoko, dia nosasako, ka nahiratra aho.
Then again the Pharisees also inquired of him how he had received his sight. He said to them: He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
16 Ary hoy ny Fariseo sasany: Tsy avy amin’ Andriamanitra izany Lehilahy izany, satria tsy mitandrina ny Sabata Izy. Hoy ny sasany: Hataon’ ny lehilahy mpanota ahoana no fahay manao fahagagana toy izany? Dia nisara-tsaina izy.
Then some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them?
17 Ary hoy indray izy tamin’ ilay jamba: Ahoana no ilazanao Azy, fa nampahiratra ny masonao Izy? Dia hoy izy: Mpaminany Izy.
Again they said to the blind man: What say you of him, seeing that he opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet.
18 Ary amin’ izany ny Jiosy tsy nino azy ho efa jamba ka nahiratra, ambara-piantsony ny ray aman-drenin’ ilay nahiratra
The Jews did not, therefore, believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, till they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
19 ka nanontaniany hoe: Zanakareo moa ity, izay lazainareo fa teraka jamba? Koa nanao ahoana ary no nahiratany izao?
and asked them, saying: Is this your son, who, you say, was born blind? How, then, does he now see?
20 Ny ray aman-dreniny namaly ka nanao hoe: Fantatray fa zanakay ity sady teraka jamba;
His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 fa tsy fantatray izay nahiratany izao; ary tsy fantatray izay nampahiratra ny masony; izy ihany no anontanio; efa lehibe izy, aoka izy no hilaza ny amin’ ny tenany.
but how he now sees we know not; or who opened his eyes we know not. He is of age; ask him; he will speak for himself.
22 Izany teny izany no nolazain’ ny ray aman-dreniny, satria natahotra ny Jiosy izy; fa efa nifanaiky rahateo ny Jiosy fa raha misy manaiky Azy ho Kristy dia horoahina hiala amin’ ny synagoga.
His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Izany no nilazan’ ny ray aman-dreniny hoe: Efa lehibe izy, koa izy no anontanio.
For this reason his parents said: He is of age; ask him.
24 Dia niantso ilay jamba teo aloha indray izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Omeo voninahitra Andriamanitra; izahay mahalala fa mpanota izany Lehilahy izany.
Then, the second time, they called the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Fa izy namaly hoe. Tsy fantatro na mpanota Izy, na tsia; zavatra iray loha ihany no fantatro: jamba aho teo aloha, fa mahiratra aho izao.
He answered and said: If he is a sinner, I know it not. One thing I do know, that having been blind, I now see.
26 Dia hoy izy taminy: Inona no nataony taminao? Nanao ahoana ange no nampahiratany ny masonao?
They said to him again: What did he for you? How did he open your eyes?
27 Dia namaly azy hoe izy: Efa voalazako taminareo rahateo, fa tsy nihaino ianareo; nahoana no te-hihaino indray ianareo? Moa te-ho mpianany koa va ianareo?
He answered them: I have already told you, and you did not understand; why would you hear it again? Do you also wish to become his disciples?
28 Dia nanevateva azy izy ka nanao hoe: Ialahy no mpianany; fa izahay mpianatr’ i Mosesy.
They reviled him, and said: You are the disciple of that man; but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 Izahay mahalala fa Mosesy no nitenenan’ Andriamanitra; fa ny amin’ izany Lehilahy izany, dia tsy fantatray izay nihaviany.
We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
30 Ralehilahy namaly azy hoe: Mba mahagaga tokoa lahy izany! fa tsy fantatrareo ny nihaviany, nefa nampahiratra ny masoko Izy.
The man answered and said to them: Why, there is something wonderful in this, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 Fantatsika fa Andriamanitra tsy mihaino ny mpanota; fa izay mivavaka aminy sy manao ny sitrapony no henoiny.
We know that God hears not sinners; but if any one be a worshiper of God, and do his will, him he hears.
Since the beginning it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one who had been born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Raha tsy avy amin’ Andriamanitra izany Lehilahy izany, dia tsy mahefa na inona na inona Izy.
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 Ary namaly ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Tena teraka tamin’ ny ota ialahy, ka ialahy indray va mampianatra anay? Dia noroahiny izy.
They answered and said to him: You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesosy nandre fa efa noroahiny ralehilahy; ary rehefa nahita azy Izy, dia nanao hoe: Mino ny Zanak-Andriamanitra va ianao?
Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And having found him, he said to him: Do you believe on the Son of God?
36 Ralehilahy namaly ka nanao hoe: Iza moa no Izy, Tompoko, mba hinoako Azy?
He answered and said: Who is he, sir, that I may believe on him?
37 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Efa nahita Azy ianao, sady Izay miresaka aminao izao no Izy.
Jesus said to him: You have seen him; and it is he that talks with you.
38 Ary hoy izy: Tompoko, mino aho. Dia niankohoka teo anatrehany izy.
He said: Lord, I believe; and he worshiped him.
39 Ary hoy Jesosy: Ho fitsarana no nahatongavako amin’ izao tontolo izao, mba hahiratra ny tsy mahiratra, ary mba ho tonga jamba kosa ny mahiratra.
And Jesus said: For judgment have I come into this world, that those who see not, may see; and that those who see, may become blind.
40 Ary ny Fariseo sasany izay teo aminy, nony nandre izany, dia nanao taminy hoe: Izahay koa va mba jamba?
And some of the Pharisees who were with him, heard these things, and said to him: Are we also blind?
41 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha jamba ianareo, dia tsy ho nanan-keloka; nefa hoy ianareo ankehitriny: Mahiratra izahay; dia tsy afaka ny helokareo.
Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
