Yohani 9
1 Yesu peavili mukuhamba ndi amuwene mundu mmonga mweavingalola kuhumila kuvelekewa.
Now as He was passing by He saw a man blind from birth.
2 Vawuliwa vaki vakamkota, “Muwula, yani mweambudili Chapanga, mundu uyu amala dadi na nyina vaki, hati avelekiwi ngalola?”
And His disciples asked Him saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, in that he was born blind?”
3 Yesu akavayangula, “Mwene amala dadi na nyina waki avi lepi mweambudili Chapanga. Avelikiwi ngalola, muni makakala ga Chapanga gawonekanayi gihenga lihengu muwumi waki.
Jesus answered: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
4 Kwakona muhi yikutigana kuhenga lihengu laki yula mweanitumili. Muni kimihi yibwela mundu nakuhotola kuhenga lihengu.
I must accomplish the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.
5 Lukumbi penivii pamulima nene ndi lumuli lwa vandu va mulima.”
While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”
6 Peamali kujova genago, Yesu akahunya mata pahi, akakandagana ludaka na kumnyala ngalola yula mumihu.
Upon saying these things He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud on the blind man's eyes.
7 Akamjovela, “Hamba ukajisambisa kulitanda la Siloamu.” Liina lenilo mana yaki ndi mweatumwili. Penapo, ngalola yula akahamba akajisambisa, akawuya kuni ilola.
And He said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, ‘Sent’). So he went and washed, and came away seeing!
8 Hinu, vandu vevatama naku papipi vevammanyili kuvya avi mngangu myupaji, vakajova, “Wu, mwenuyu lepi ngalola mweatamayi na kuyupa?”
Then the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind started saying, “Isn't this the man who sat begging?”
9 Vamahele vakajova, “Ena.” Vangi vakajova “Lepi, ndi iwanana naku.” Nambu ngalola yula akajova, “Ndi nene mwenayupayi.”
Others said, “This is he”; still others, “He is like him.” He kept saying, “I'm the one!”
10 Ndi vakamkota, “Wu, hinu mihu gaku uhotwili kulola?”
So they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 Mwene akavayangula, “Mundu yula mweikemelewa Yesu akandagini ludaka, na kuninyala pamihu, akanijovela. Uhamba ukajisanja pamihu ku litanda la Siloamu. Nene nikahamba kujisanja na hinu nihotola kulola.”
He answered and said: “A man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So when I went and washed, I saw!”
12 Vakamkota, “Avi koki?” Mwene akavayangula, “Nene nimanyili lepi.”
Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He says, “I don't know.”
13 Kangi vampeliki mundu yula mweavili hoti ngalola kwa Vafalisayu.
They bring the man who was formerly blind to the Pharisees.
14 Ligono Yesu peakandagini ludaka na kumdindula mihu yavili Ligono la Kupumulila.
(Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.)
15 Vafalisayu vakamkota kavili, “Uhotwili wuli kulola?” Mwene akavajovela, “Aninyalili ludaka pamihu, ndi nene najisambisi na hinu nilola.”
So once again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. So he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
16 Vafalisayu vangi vakajova, “Mundu mwenuyu ahumili lepi kwa Chapanga, muni ikamula lepi Ligono la Kupumulila.” Nambu vangi vakajova, “Ihotola wuli kuhenga gachinamtiti ngati genaga?” Pakavya na mpechenganu pagati yavi.
Then some of the Pharisees said, “This man cannot be from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath,” Others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
17 Vakamkota kavili, “Veve wijova wuli kumvala mwene?” “Ndava akudindwili mihu?” Akavayangula, “Mwenuyo ndi mlota wa Chapanga!”
So they address the blind man again, “What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
18 Vachilongosi va Vayawudi nakusadika ngati mundu yula avi ngalola kadeni na hinu ilola, mbaka pavavakemili dadi na nyina waki.
However the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had received sight.
19 Vakavakota dadi na nyina waki, “Wu, mwenuyu ndi mwana winu? Ndi mwemwijova avelekiwi ngalola? Kangi ahotwili wuli kulola?”
And they asked them saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 Vene vakayangula, “Timmanyili kuvya uyu ndi mwana witu, na avelikwi ngalola.
So his parents answered them and said: “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Nambu timanyi lepi cheahotwili kulola, mewa timmanyi lepi mweamdindwili mihu. Mumkota mwene, muni mundu mvaha ihotola kudandaula mwene.”
but by what means he now sees we don't know, or who opened his eyes we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
22 Dadi na nyina waki vagajovili genago ndava ya kuvayogopa vachilongosi va Vayawudi muni vamali kuyidikilana kuvya mundu mweiyidakila na kujova kuvya Kilisitu ndi Msangula yati ivingiwa awuka munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, because the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ he would be barred from the synagogue.
23 Ndava ya genago ndi dadi na nyina waki vajovili, “Mwene mundu mvaha ndi mumkota mwene.”
That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24 Vakamkemela kavili mundu yula mweavelikwi ngalola, vakamjovela, “Lapa palongolo ya Chapanga. Tete timanyili kuvya mundu uyu akumbudila Chapanga.”
So they summoned the man who had been blind a second time and said to him: “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 Mwene akayangula, “Nene nimanyi lepi ngati akumbudila Chapanga. Nambu nimanyili chindu chimonga. Navi ngalola hinu nilola.”
So he answered and said: “That He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know, that having been blind I now see!”
26 Ndi vakamkota, “Akuhengili kyani? Akulamisi wuli mihu gaku?”
So they said to him again: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 Mundu yula akavayangula, “Nimali kuvajovela, nyenye mniyuwana lepi, ndava kyani mwigana kuyuwana kavili? Wu, na nyenye mewa mwigana kuvya vawuliwa vaki?”
He answered them: “I already told you and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become His disciples too, do you?”
28 Hinu vakamuliga na kumjovela, “Veve ndi muwuliwa wa mundu yula, nambu tete tavawuliwa va Musa.
They reviled him and said: “You are that fellow's disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
29 Tete timanyili kuvya Chapanga alongili na Musa, nambu nakummanya mundu uyu ahumili koki!”
We know that God spoke to Moses; but this fellow—we don't know where he's from.”
30 Mwene akavayangula, “Chenichi ndi chindu cha kukangasa! Nyenye mwangamanya kweahumili, nambu anidindwili mihu gangu!
The man answered and said to them: “Why, this is remarkable—you don't know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!
31 Timanyili kuvya Chapanga akuvayuwanila lepi vevakumbudila mwene, nambu akumyuwanila mundu yoyoha mweakumyogopa Chapanga na kuhenga geigana.
Now we know that God doesn't listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, to him He listens.
32 Kutumbula mulima pewawumbiwi yiyuwaniki lepi kuvya mundu agadindwili mihu ga mundu mweavelekiwi ngalola. (aiōn g165)
Since time began it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Ngati mundu mwenuyu nakuhuma kwa Chapanga ngaahotwili lepi kuhenga chochoha!”
If this man were not from God he would not be able to do anything.”
34 Vene vakamyangula, Mwe! “Veve uvelekiwi na kukula mukumbudisa Chapanga, wihotola wuli kutiwula tete?” Hinu vakamuwusa munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.
They answered and said to him, “You were totally born in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they expelled him.
35 Yesu ayuwini kuvya vamuwusili munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi. Hinu pevamuwene akamkota, “Wu, veve ukumsadika Mwana wa Mundu?”
Jesus heard that they had expelled him, and finding him He said to him, “Do you believe into the Son of God?”
36 Mundu yula akamyangula, “Mtopeswa unijovela mundu mwenuyo ndi yani, muni nimsadikayi.”
He answered and said, “And who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?”
37 Yesu akamjovela, “Umali kumuwona, mwene mweujova nayu ndi mwene.”
So Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and He is the One who is speaking with you.”
38 Mundu yula akajova, “Bambu nisadika!” Ndi akamfugamila.
So he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.
39 Yesu akajova, “Nene nibwelili pamulima kuvabagula vandu, muni vangalola vahotola kulola, na vevilola vavyai vangalola.”
And Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see, and those who ‘see’ may become blind.”
40 Vafalisayu vangi vevavi pamonga naku vagayuwini genago, vakamkota, “Wu, na tete mewa vangalola?”
And some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words and said to Him, “We aren't blind too, are we?”
41 Yesu akavayangula, “Ngati mwavi vangalola, ngamvalangiwi lepi mumbudili Chapanga nambu nyenye mwijova, tete tilola hinu yilangisa kuvya nyenye mbudili.”
Jesus said to them: “If you were ‘blind’ you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see,’ so your sin remains.
