Yohana 9
1 O Yesu nali ashile alolile omuntu okipofu ahwande apapwe hwamwehale.
Now as he was passing along he saw a man, blind from birth.
2 Abhanafunzi bhakwe bhabhozezye, “Mwalimu, “Wenu wabhombile embibhi, omuntu ono au yo yise no nyina paka apapwa mpofu?”
"Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 O Yesu ayanga, “Se yayono omuntu wala aise wakwe no nyina wakwe aje bhabhabhombila embibhi, yaani embombo zya Ngolobhe zikwinkushe ashilile hwa mwene.
"Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
4 Tihwanziwa abhombe embombo zyakwe shahuli pasanya. Osiku uhwenza pasetaiwezya abhombe embombo.
"I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Omuda gwendi munsi, ane endi lukhozyo.”
"While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."
6 O Yesu nayaanga amazu ega, aswiye mwinkondi, abhombele itotoo huu mate, na wapaha ola omuntu amaso na lila itope.
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 Wabhozya, bhalaga oyoje mwidimi lye Siloamu (Yebhoneha aje 'watumilwe').” Eshi omuntu abhalile anawe na wawela alola.
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 Ajilani bhakwe ola omuntu bhabhalolile hula ahwande aje labizi bhajile, Aje! ono wenje ola omuntu wakhalaga na labhizye?” bhamo bhajile, Na yoyo.”
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 Na bhamo bhamo bhajile, ndadi ono alengane nabho.” Ila ali ayaanga, NENE.”
Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he looks like him." "I am the man," he said.
10 Bhabhozya, “Esalezi amaso gaho gafunkushe bhole?”
So they asked him, "How then were your eyes opened?"
11 Ajibuye, omuntu wahwetwa Yesuu abhombele itoto na pashe mmaso gane na mbozye, 'Bhalaga Siloamu unawe.' Esheshi nabhalile na nanawile nanapete alole.”
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 Bhabhozezye, “Ali hwii?” Ajile, “Maanyi.”
"Where is he?" they asked. "I do not know," answered the man.
13 Bhatwalile ola omuntu wawaile abhe mpofula hwa Mafarisayo.
Then they brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Lyope lyali lisiku lye Sabato oYesu lwa lengeye amatoto na hwigule amaso gakwe.
Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes;
15 Amafarisayo bhabhozya ahandile bhole alole. Abhabhozya, “Abheshele itole mumaso gane, nanawile, neshi elola.”
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 Bhamo Amafarisayo bhajile, “Omuntu ono safumile hwa Ngolobhe afwatanaje saikhete eSabato.” Bhamo bhamo bhajile egawezehana wole omuntu we mbibhi abhombe embombo nanshi ezyo hwa wantuna gabhanyisha mhati yabho.
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 Nkabhabhozya ola ompofila nantele oyiga bhole ahusu omwahale afuatane naje ahiguye amaso gaho?” Ompofu wagaa, “Kuwaa.”
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 Hata isinku ezi Ayahudi sebhamweteshe aje ali mpofula wope apete alole paka pabhabhakwizizye oise no nyina wapete alole.
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 Bhabhobhozezye aise no nyina, Aje, ono mwana wenyu wamuyiga apepwe mpofu? awezizye bhole alole esalezi?”
and questioned them. "Is this your son," they said, "who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 Aise no nyina bhajile, “Timenye aje ono mwana wetu na aje apepwe mpofula.
Then in reply his parents said. "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Shili bhole esalezi alola, setimenye no ola wamwiguye amaso setimenye. Bhozezi yoyo. Muntu gosi. Anzahwiyelezye yoyo.”
"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 Aise no nyina bhayanjile enongwa ezi afuatanaje bhahogope Ayahudi. Shila Ayahudi bhahetehene aje nkashe wawonti ayeteha aje oYesu oKilisti, aitengwa Wibhanza.
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 Hunamuna ene, oise no nyina wakwe bhajile, “Omuntu gosi, bhozyaji yoyo.”
It was because this that his parents said. "He is of age. Ask him, himself."
24 Hu mara ya bhele, bhakwizizye ola omuntu wawaile abhe mpofula na hubhozye, “Pele Ongolobhe oumwamihwe. Timenye aje omuntu ono muntu we mbibhi.”
So the Jews a second time summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him.
25 Ola omuntu ahayanga, “Abhe we mbibhi, ane sehwelewa. Ahantu hamo hemenye nali mpofula: esalezi ehwenya.”
"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 Eshi nkabhabhozya, “Abhombeye yenu? Ahiguye amaso gaho?”
"What was it he did to you?" they asked him; "How did he open your eyes?"
27 Ajile, “Embabhozezye ila amwe semuhwonvwa! Yenu mhwanza ahonvwe nantele? Amwe semuhwanza abhe bhanafunzi bhakwe nantele?
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 Bhalijile naje, “Awe oli mwanafunzi wakwe, ikla ate tili bhanafunzi bha Musa.
Then they stormed at him. "You are his disciple. We are Moses’ disciples.
29 Timenye aje Ongolobhe ayanjile no Musa, ila hwomo omuntu, seti menye hwafuma.”
"We know that God spoke to Moses. But this fellow! We do not know where he comes from."
30 Ola omuntu ayanga na bhahozye, “Yenu, enongwa ezi zyaswije, aje semumenye hwafuma, na ayiguye amaso gane.
"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 Timenye aje Ongolobhe sabhonvwa abhembibhi, nkashe omuntu wawonti ahuputa Ongolobhe na abhombe olusongwo lwakwe, Ongolobhe mwonvwa.
"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 Ahwande peyandile Insi ene sewaile abhoneshe omuntu aiguye amaso gamuntu wapepwe mpofula. (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 Egalije omuntu ono safumile hwa Ngolobhe, handasabhombile hahonti.”
"If this man had not come of God he could have done nothing."
34 Bhayanjile na hubhozye, “Uhapepwe mumbibhi mhaani, awe atisambelezya ate?” Nkabhabhenga mshibhanza shabho.
They answered, "You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then they cast him out.
35 O Yesu ahonvwezye aje bhamwefizye mshibhanza. Amweje na hubhozye, “Aje ohumweteha Omwana wa 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 Ayanjile naje, “Wenu, Gosi, aje nkemweteshe?”
"Who is he, Sir," he replied, "that I may believe on him."
37 O Yesu abhozya, “Uloolile, woyanga nawo yayoyo.”
"You have already seen him," Jesus answered, "and it is he who now speaks to you."
38 Ola omuntu ayanga, “Gosi ehweteshela epo nkafugamiye.
"I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,
39 O Yesu ayanga, “Alonje enenzele Munsi omu aje bhala bhasebhahwenya bhapete ahwenye nabhala bhabhahwenya bhabhe mpofula.”
"For judgment am I come into the world, to make the sightless see, and to make the seeing blind."
40 Bhamo Amafarisayo bhalipamo nawo bhahonvwa amazu ege nahubhozye, “Nate eshi tili mpofula?”
Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked, "We are not blind, are we?"
41 O Yesu abhabhozya, “Nkashe mgali bha mpofu, handasemli ne mbibhi. Hata sheshi muyiga, 'Tilola,' embibhi zyenyu zikheye.”
"If you were blind," Jesus answered them, "you would have no sin. But now you are declaring, ‘We see’; so your sin remains.
