Yesu alipokuwa akipita, akamwona mtu aliyekuwa kipofu tangu kuzaliwa.

Wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza, “Rabi, ni nani aliyetenda dhambi, ni huyu mtu au wazazi wake hata azaliwe kipofu?”

Yesu akawajibu, “Huyu mtu wala wazazi wake hawakutenda dhambi. Alizaliwa kipofu ili kazi za Mungu zidhihirishwe katika maisha yake.
4 dinE tiSThati matprErayituH karmma mayA karttavyaM yadA kimapi karmma na kriyatE tAdRzI nizAgacchati|
Yanipasa kuzifanya kazi zake yeye aliyenituma wakati bado ni mchana, kwa kuwa usiku waja ambapo hakuna mtu awezaye kufanya kazi.
5 ahaM yAvatkAlaM jagati tiSThAmi tAvatkAlaM jagatO jyOtiHsvarUpOsmi|
Wakati niko ulimwenguni, mimi ni nuru ya ulimwengu.”

Baada ya kusema haya, akatema mate ardhini, akatengeneza tope kwa mate na kumpaka yule mtu kipofu machoni.

Kisha akamwambia, “Nenda ukanawe katika bwawa la Siloamu.” (Siloamu maana yake ni aliyetumwa.) Ndipo yule kipofu akaenda, akanawa, naye akarudi akiwa anaona.

Majirani zake na wale wote waliokuwa wamemwona hapo awali akiombaomba wakaanza kuuliza, “Je, huyu si yule aliyekuwa akiketi akiombaomba?”

Wengine wakasema, “Ndiye.” Wengine wakasema, “Siye, bali wamefanana.” Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye.”

Wakamuuliza, “Basi macho yako yalifumbuliwaje?”

Yeye akawajibu, “Yule mtu aitwaye Yesu alitengeneza tope, akanipaka machoni mwangu, naye akaniambia nenda ukanawe katika Bwawa la Siloamu, ndipo nikanawa nami nikapata kuona!”
12 tadA tE 'vadan sa pumAn kutra? tEnOkttaM nAhaM jAnAmi|
Wale wakamuuliza, “Yeye huyo mtu yuko wapi?” Akawajibu, “Sijui.”

Wakamleta kwa Mafarisayo yule mtu aliyekuwa kipofu hapo awali.

Mafarisayo nao wakaanza kumuuliza alivyopata kuponywa. Naye akawaambia, “Alinipaka tope kwenye macho yangu, nikanawa na sasa ninaona.”

Baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakasema, “Huyu mtu hatoki kwa Mungu, kwa sababu hashiki Sabato.” Lakini wengine wakasema, “Awezaje mtu mwenye dhambi kufanya miujiza kama hii?” Wakagawanyika.

Hivyo wakamwambia tena yule mtu aliyekuwa kipofu, “Wewe ndiwe uliyefumbuliwa macho, wasemaje kuhusu mtu huyo?” Maana macho yako ndiyo yaliyofumbuliwa. Yeye akawajibu, “Yeye ni nabii.”
18 sa dRSTim AptavAn iti yihUdIyAstasya dRSTiM prAptasya janasya pitrO rmukhAd azrutvA na pratyayan|
Wale Wayahudi hawakuamini ya kuwa mtu huyo alikuwa kipofu, akapata kuona, mpaka walipowaita wazazi wake.

Wakawauliza, “Je, huyu ni mtoto wenu, ambaye mnasema alizaliwa kipofu? Imekuwaje basi sasa anaona?”
20 tatastasya pitarau pratyavOcatAm ayam AvayOH putra A janErandhazca tadapyAvAM jAnIvaH
Wazazi wake wakajibu, “Tunajua ya kuwa huyu ni mtoto wetu na ya kuwa alizaliwa kipofu.

Lakini sisi hatujui ni kwa jinsi gani kwamba sasa anaona, wala hatujui ni nani aliyemfungua macho yake. Muulizeni, yeye ni mtu mzima na anaweza kujieleza mwenyewe.”

Wazazi wake walisema hivi kwa sababu waliwaogopa Wayahudi kwani walikuwa wamekubaliana kuwa mtu yeyote atakayemkiri Yesu kuwa ndiye Kristo atafukuzwa kutoka sinagogi.
23 atastasya pitarau vyAharatAm ESa vayaHprApta EnaM pRcchata|
Kwa hiyo wazazi wake wakasema, “Yeye ni mtu mzima. Muulizeni.”

Hivyo kwa mara ya pili wakamwita yule aliyekuwa kipofu, nao wakamwambia, “Mpe Mungu utukufu! Sisi tunafahamu kuwa mtu huyu aliyekuponya ni mwenye dhambi.”

Akawajibu, “Mimi sijui kama yeye ni mwenye dhambi. Lakini jambo moja ninalojua, nilikuwa kipofu na sasa ninaona.”
26 tE punarapRcchan sa tvAM prati kimakarOt? kathaM nEtrE prasannE 'karOt?
Wakamuuliza, “Alikufanyia nini? Aliyafumbuaje macho yako?”
27 tataH sOvAdId EkakRtvOkathayaM yUyaM na zRNutha tarhi kutaH punaH zrOtum icchatha? yUyamapi kiM tasya ziSyA bhavitum icchatha?
Akawajibu, “Tayari nimekwisha kuwaambia, nanyi hamtaki kunisikiliza. Mbona mnataka kusikia tena? Je, ninyi nanyi mnataka kuwa wanafunzi wake?”
28 tadA tE taM tiraskRtya vyAharan tvaM tasya ziSyO vayaM mUsAH ziSyAH|
Ndipo wakamtukana na kusema, “Wewe ndiwe mwanafunzi wake, Sisi ni wanafunzi wa Mose.

Tunajua kwamba Mungu alisema na Mose, lakini kwa habari ya mtu huyu hatujui atokako.”

Tunajua ya kuwa Mungu hawasikilizi wenye dhambi, lakini huwasikiliza wote wanaomcha na kumtii.

Tangu zamani hatujasikia kwamba mtu amemponya yeyote aliyezaliwa kipofu. (aiōn g165)

Kama huyu mtu hakutoka kwa Mungu, asingeweza kufanya lolote.”

Wao wakamjibu, “Wewe ulizaliwa katika dhambi kabisa, nawe unajaribu kutufundisha?” Wakamfukuza atoke nje.

Yesu akasema, “Nimekuja ulimwenguni humu kwa ajili ya kuhukumu, ili wale walio vipofu wapate kuona, nao wale wanaoona, wawe vipofu.”
40 Etat zrutvA nikaTasthAH katipayAH phirUzinO vyAharan vayamapi kimandhAH?
Baadhi ya Mafarisayo waliokuwa karibu naye wakamsikia na kumwambia, “Je, kweli sisi ni vipofu?”

Yesu akawajibu, “Kama mngekuwa vipofu kweli, msingekuwa na hatia ya dhambi, lakini kwa kuwa mnasema, ‘Tunaona,’ basi mna hatia.
