Yohani 9
1 Yesu pakaweriti kankupita, kamwoniti muntu yumu kana lwisi kwanjira kwiwuka.
Now as he was passing along he saw a man, blind from birth.
2 Wafundwa wakuwi wamkosiya, “mfunda! Hashi, gaa ndo yakatenda vidoda vyavimtenda muntu ayu kayiwuki pakawera lwisi? Hashi, vidoda vyakuwi mweni ama vidoda vya walera wakuwi?”
"Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 Yesu kankula, “Shitwatila ashi shilawira ndiri toziya ya vidoda vyakuwi yomberi, ama vidoda vya walelwa wakuwi, ira kiwuka lwisi su makakala ga Mlungu gawonikani gatenda lihengu mwakuwi.
"Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
4 Kuweri kwankali paliwala tufiruwa kwendeleya kutenda lihengu lya uliya yakantumiti, mana pashiru peni pakwiza muntu hapeni kawezi kutenda lihengu.
"I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Shipindi nankali pasipanu, neni ndo gulangala gwa pasi panu.”
"While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."
6 Pakatakuliti kala aga, katema mata pasi, kalitenda linkandiga, kamswagaziya mumasu ulii yakawera na lwisi,
When he had thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and smeared the clay on the man’s eyes.
7 kamgambira, “Gugendi na gukalifyankuli palitanda lya Silowamu.” Mana ya litawu ali ndo “Yawamtumiti”. Muntu kana lwisi uliya kagenda na kulifyankula kulitanda lya Siloam, shakapanu kawuya pakawera kankuwona.
Then he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (a word which means "sent"). So the man went and washed his eyes, and came back seeing.
8 Su, wapakwegera wakuwi na walii yawaweriti wavimana handa kaweriti muhushu mluwa, walonga, “Hashi, ayu ndiri uliya muhushu yakaweriti pakalivaga na kuluwa luwa?”
Upon this the neighbors and those who used to know him by sight as a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"
9 Wamonga pawatakula, “Ndomweni.” Wantu wamu watakula, “ndala! Ira kalifana nayomberi.” Uliya yakaweriti lwisi katakula, “Ndo neni!”
Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he looks like him." "I am the man," he said.
10 Wamkosiya, “Vinu, masu gakuwi gapata hashi kutumula?”
So they asked him, "How then were your eyes opened?"
11 Nayomberi kawankula, “Muntu uliya yawamshema Yesu katenditi linkandiga, kaswagaziya mumasu na kung'ambira, ‘Gugendi gwakalifyankuli palitanda lya Silowamu,’ su neni ng'enda, nulifyankula sheni shangu, mpata kwona.”
He answered. "The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went and washed and received my sight."
12 Wamkosia, “Yomberi ka koshi?” Nayomberi kawankula, “Neni nuvimana ndiri!”
"Where is he?" they asked. "I do not know," answered the man.
13 Shakapanu wamjega muntu uliya yakaweriti kana lwisi kwa Mafalisayu.
Then they brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Lishaka ali Yesu pakatenditi linkandiga na kumtumuziya masu muntu ayu, iweriti Lishaka lya kwoyera.
Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes;
15 Mafalisayu wamkosiya kayi muntu ayu, “Gupata hashi kwona?” Nayomberi kawagambira, “Kantyeremeka linkandiga mumasu, naneni nulifyankula sheni shangu, vinu weza kwona.”
so the Pharisees again began to ask him questions about how he had regained his sight; and he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now I see."
16 Mafalisayu wamu walonga, “Muntu kantenditi hangu hapeni kalawi kwa Mlungu, toziya kajimira ndiri malagaliru ga Lishaka lya kwoyera.” Kumbiti wamonga walonga, “Muntu kana vidoda kaweza hashi kutenda liuzauza lya ntambu ayi?” Kuwera na malekaniru pakati pawu.
Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"
17 Mafalisayu wamkosiya kayi muntu ayu, “Yomberi kagagubutula masu, gutakula shishi kwa yomberi?” Muntu uliya kawagambira, “Yomberi ndo mbuyi gwa Mlungu!”
So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.
18 Wakulu wa Shiyawudi wajimira ndiri handa muntu ayu kaweriti lwisi na vinu kankuwona mpaka pawawashemiti walera wakuwi
The Jews, however, did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man whose sight had been restored,
19 na wawakosiya walera awa, “Hashi, ayu mwana gwenu ndo mwenga mlonga kiwukiti lwisi? Hashi vinu kapata kwona?”
and questioned them. "Is this your son," they said, "who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 Walera wakuwi wankula, “Tuvimana handa ayu ndo mwana gwetu na kiwukiti lwisi.
Then in reply his parents said. "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Kumbiti kapata hashi kwona, hapeni tuvimani na wala tuvimana ndiri uliya yakamtumuziyiti masu. Mumkosiyi mweni, yomberi ndo muntu mkulu, kaweza kulitakulira mweni.”
"but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who has opened his eyes. Ask him, himself. He is of age. He will speak for himself."
22 Walera wakuwi walongiti hangu toziya wawatiriti wakolamlima wa Shiyawudi, kwani wakolamlima awa waweriti waliragilirana handa muntu yoseri yakamini handa Yesu ndo Kristu kalivagi kunja kwa numba ya Mlungu.
This his parents said because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess that he was the Christ, he should be expelled from the synagogue.
23 Walelwa wakuwi walongiti, “Yomberi ndo muntu mkulu, Mumkosiyi.”
It was because this that his parents said. "He is of age. Ask him, himself."
24 Su, wamshema kayi muntu ulii yakiwukiti lwisi na wamgambira, “Gumpanani ukwisa Mlungu! Twenga tuvimana kuwera muntu ayu ndo kana vidoda.”
So the Jews a second time summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him.
25 Yomberi kankula, “Handa ndo nana vidoda neni nuvimana ndiri. Kumbiti shintu shimu nushimana, neriti na lwisi na vinu mona.”
"Give glory to God! we know that this man is a sinner." Upon this the blind man answered. "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that once I was blind, and know I can see."
26 Wamkosiya, “Kakutenderiti shishi? Hashi kakutumuliziya masu gaku?”
"What was it he did to you?" they asked him; "How did he open your eyes?"
27 Muntu ayu kawankula, “Nuwagambireni mbera kala, namwenga mpikanira ndiri, mfira shishi kupikinira kayi? Hashi mwenga viraa mfira muweri wafundwa wakuwi?”
He answered. "I have told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear it again? Can it be that you, too, wish to become his disciples?"
28 Kumbiti womberi wamwigira pawatakula, “Gwenga ndo mfundwa gwakuwi, twenga wafundwa wa Musa.
Then they stormed at him. "You are his disciple. We are Moses’ disciples.
29 Twega tuvimana handa Mlungu katakuliti na Musa, kumbiti muntu ayu tumumana ndiri kalawira koshi!”
"We know that God spoke to Moses. But this fellow! We do not know where he comes from."
30 Muntu ulii kawankula, “Ashi ndo shitwatira sha kulikangasha! Mwenga muvimana ndiri kalawira koshi, kumbiti kantumuliziya masu gangu!
"This is truly astonishing," said the man in reply, "that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 Tuvimana handa Mlungu hapeni kawapikiniri wantu wana vidoda, ira kumpikinira yoseri yakamjimira na kutenda vyakafiriti.
"We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God- fearing and does his will, to such he listens.
32 Kwanjira lupaga pasipanu ipikanirika ndiri handa muntu kagatumuziya masu ga muntu yakayiwukiti lwisi. (aiōn g165)
"Since the beginning of the world such a thing as opening the eyes of one who was born blind was never heard of. (aiōn g165)
33 Payiwera ndiri muntu ayu kalawa kwa Mlungu, mekaweziti ndiri kutenda shintu shoseri!”
"If this man had not come of God he could have done nothing."
34 Womberi wamwankula, “Gwenga gwiwuka na kulelwa pavidoda, na hashi guweza kutufunda twenga?” Wamwinga kulawa Mnumba ya Mlungu.
They answered, "You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then they cast him out.
35 Yesu kapikiniriti yagalawiliti, kamwoniti muntu uliya kamkosiya, “Hashi, gwenga gumjimira Mwana gwa Muntu?”
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"
36 Muntu ayu kankula, “Mtuwa, gung'ambiri yomberi ndo gaa, su mpati kumjimira!”
"Who is he, Sir," he replied, "that I may believe on him."
37 Yesu kamgambira, “Gumwona kala na yomberi ndo yakatakula nagwenga vinu.”
"You have already seen him," Jesus answered, "and it is he who now speaks to you."
38 Muntu ayu katakula, “Nukujimira, Mtuwa!” Na kamsuntamilira Yesu.
"I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,
39 Yesu katakula, “Neni niza pasipanu kutoza wantu, wanalwisi wapati kuwona na woseri yawalola waweri lwisi.”
"For judgment am I come into the world, to make the sightless see, and to make the seeing blind."
40 Mafalisayu wamu waweriti pamuhera na yomberi wampikinira pakatakuriti aga na wamkosiya, “Gumaanisha natwenga twanalwisi viraa?”
Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked, "We are not blind, are we?"
41 Yesu kawankula, “Mwangaweriti mwana lwisi, mwangaweriti ndiri na vidoda, kumbiti mwenga vinu mtakula, twenga tuwona, ayi ilanguziya kuwera mwana vidoda.”
"If you were blind," Jesus answered them, "you would have no sin. But now you are declaring, ‘We see’; so your sin remains.
