Yohannis 9
1 Yesuus utuu darbuu namicha dhalootuma isaatii jalqabee jaamaa ture tokko arge.
And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his birth.
2 Barattoonni isaas, “Yaa barsiisaa, akka namichi kun jaamaa taʼee dhalatuuf eenyutu cubbuu hojjete? Isuma moo abbaa fi haadha isaa ti?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
And his disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned? this man or his parents? that he was born blind.
3 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebise; “Akka hojiin Waaqaa isaan mulʼatuuf malee inni yookaan abbaa fi haati isaa cubbuu hojjetanii miti.
Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God might be manifested in him.
4 Utuu guyyaa taʼee jiruu hojii isa na ergee hojjechuun qabna. Halkan namni tokko iyyuu itti hojjechuu hin dandeenye ni dhufa.
I must perform the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Ani yommuun addunyaa irra jiru, ifa addunyaa ti.”
But as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Innis erga waan kana dubbatee booddee lafatti tufee dhoqqee tolche; dhoqqee sanas ija namichaatti dibe.
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 Innis namicha sanaan, “Dhaqiitii Haroo Saliihoomitti dhiqadhu” jedhe. Saliihoom jechuun kan ergame jechuu dha. Namichis dhaqee dhiqate; argaas deebiʼee dhufe.
and said to him, Go wash at the pool of Siloam (which signifies Sent.) He went therefore and washed, and came again seeing.
8 Olloonni isaatii fi namoonni duraan utuu inni kadhatuu argan, “Namichi kun isuma taaʼee kadhachaa ture sana mitii?” jedhan.
And the neighbors, and they that had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat begging?
9 Namoonni tokko tokko, “Eeyyee, isa” jedhan. Kaan immoo, “Miti, isa fakkaata malee” jedhan. Inni garuu, “Namichi sun anuma” jedhe.
Some said, this is he: and others, It is like him: but he said, I am the man.
10 Jarris, “Iji kee akkamitti baname ree?” jedhaniin.
Therefore they said to him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 Innis deebisee, “Namicha Yesuus jedhamutu dhoqqee tolchee ija koo dibee, ‘Gara Haroo Saliihoom dhaqiitii dhiqadhu’ naan jedhe; anis dhaqeen dhiqadhe; arguus nan dandaʼe.”
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 Isaanis, “Namichi sun eessa jira?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Inni immoo, “Ani hin beeku” jedheen.
Then said they unto him, Where is He? he answered, I know not.
13 Isaanis namicha jaamaa ture sana Fariisotatti geessan.
So they brought him, that had formerly been blind, to the pharisees.
14 Guyyaan itti Yesuus dhoqqee tolchee ija namichaa bane Sanbata ture.
Now it was the sabbath-day, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Fariisonnis namichi akkamitti akka arguu dandaʼe isa gaafatan; namichis, “Inni dhoqqee tolchee ija koo dibe; anis nan dhiqadhe; nan arges” jedheen.
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 Fariisota keessaas tokko tokko, “Namichi kun waan Sanbata hin eegneef, inni Waaqa biraa hin dhufne” jedhan. Warri kaan garuu, “Cubbamaan tokko akkamitti dinqii akkanaa hojjechuu dandaʼa?” jedhan. Garaa garummaanis isaan gidduutti uumame.
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 Isaanis amma illee namicha jaamaa ture sanaan, “Waaʼee namicha ija kee siif bane sanaa maal jetta?” jedhan. Namichis deebisee, “Inni raajii dha” jedhe.
So they asked the blind man again, What sayst thou concerning Him? as He hath opened thine eyes.
18 Yihuudoonnis hamma abbaa fi haadha namicha agartuu isaa argate sanaa waamanitti akka inni jaamaa turee fi akka inni agartuu isaa argate amma illee hin amanne.
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 Isaanis, “Inni kun ilma keessan isuma isin jaamaa taʼee dhalate jettan sanaa? Yoos amma immoo akkamitti arguu dandaʼa ree?” jedhanii gaafatan.
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 Abbaa fi haati namichaas deebisanii akkana jedhan; “Akka inni ilma keenya taʼee fi akka inni jaamaa taʼee dhalate ni beekna.
His parents answered them, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Garuu amma akkamitti akka arguu dandaʼe yookaan ija isaa eenyu akka baneef nu hin beeknu. Inni nama gaʼaa dha; waaʼee mataa isaa dubbachuu ni dandaʼa; isuma gaafadhaa.”
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 Abbaa fi haati isaa sababii Yihuudoota sodaataniif waan kana jedhan; namni kam iyyuu yoo Yesuus inni Kiristoos jedhee dhugaa baʼe akka mana sagadaa keessaa ariʼamu Yihuudoonni kanaan dura walii galanii murteessanii turaniitii.
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 Kanaafuu abbaa fi haati isaa, “Inni nama gaʼaa dha; isuma gaafadhaa” jedhan.
Therefore his parents said, he is of age, ask him.
24 Isaanis yeroo lammaffaa namicha jaamaa ture sana waamanii, “Waaqaaf ulfina kenni. Namichi kun cubbamaa taʼuu isaa nu ni beekna” jedhaniin.
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 Innis, “Cubbamaa taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaa ani hin beeku. Ani waan tokkon beeka. Ani jaamaan ture; amma garuu nan arga!” jedhee deebise.
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 Isaanis, “Inni maal siif godhe? Ija kees akkamitti siif bane?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine eyes?
27 Inni immoo, “Ani kanaan dura isinitti himeera; isinis hin dhageenye. Ammas maaliif dhagaʼuu barbaaddu? Isinis barattoota isaa taʼuu barbaadduu?” jedheen.
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 Isaanis akkana jedhanii isa arrabsan; “Barataan namicha kanaa siʼi! Nu barattoota Musee ti!
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 Akka Waaqni Museetti dubbate nu beekna; namichi kun garuu eessaa akka dhufe iyyuu hin beeknu.”
but as for this man, we know not whence He is.
30 Namichis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Inni eessaa akka dhufe wallaaluun keessan waan nama dinquu dha; garuu inni ija koo naa bane.
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 Akka Waaqni cubbamoota hin dhageenye ni beekna. Inni nama isa waaqeffatuu fi fedhii isaa guutu dhagaʼa.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth.
32 Eenyu iyyuu ija nama jaamaa taʼee dhalate tokkoo akka bane uumama addunyaatii jalqabee hin dhagaʼamne. (aiōn g165)
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 Namichi kun utuu Waaqa biraa taʼuu baatee silaa homaa gochuu hin dandaʼu ture.”
And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing.
34 Isaanis deebisanii, “Ati kan guutummaatti cubbuun dhalatte, situ nu barsiisaa?” jedhaniin. Alattis gad isa baasan.
They answered, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?
35 Yesuusis akka isaan gad isa baasan dhagaʼe; yommuu isa argettis, “Ati Ilma Namaatti ni amantaa?” jedheen.
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 Namichis, “Yaa gooftaa, akka ani isatti amanuuf inni eenyu?” jedhe.
He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him?
37 Yesuusis, “Ati amma isa argiteerta; inni si wajjin haasaʼaa jiru isuma” jedheen.
Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.
38 Namichi sunis, “Yaa Gooftaa, ani nan amana” jedhe; ni sagadeefis.
And he said, Lord, I believe; and worshipped Him.
39 Yesuus immoo, “Warri hin argine akka arganiif, warri argan immoo akka jaamaniif ani murtiif gara addunyaa kanaa dhufeera” jedhe.
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 Fariisota isa wajjin turan keessaa tokko tokko waan kana jechuu isaa dhagaʼanii, “Nus jaamota mitii ree?” jedhanii gaafatan.
And some of the pharisees who were present, heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?
41 Yesuusis, “Utuu jaamota taatanii silaa cubbuu hin qabdan ture; isin garuu, ‘Ni argina’ jettu; cubbuun keessan ni jiraata” jedheen.
Jesus replied, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin: but now ye say, We see; your sin therefore remaineth.
