Johani 9
1 Akati achifamba, akaona murume akanga aberekwa ari bofu.
And as he passed by, he saw a man that had been blind from his birth.
2 Vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza vakati, “Rabhi, ndianiko akatadza, murume uyu kana kuti vabereki vake, zvaakaberekwa ari bofu?”
And his disciples asked him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesu akapindura akati, “Hakusi kutadza kwomurume uyu kana kwavabereki vake kwakaita kuti zvidai, asi izvi zvakaitika kuti basa raMwari riratidzwe muupenyu hwake.
Jesus answered: Neither this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
4 Kana achiri masikati kudai, tinofanira kubata basa raiye akandituma. Usiku huri kuuya, husina munhu angagona kushanda basa nahwo.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man can work.
5 Ndichiri munyika, ndiri chiedza chenyika.”
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Akati ataura izvozvo, akapfira mate pasi, akakanya dope namate, uye akariisa pameso omurume uya.
Having said this, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on the eyes of the blind man,
7 Akati kwaari, “Enda undoshamba mudziva reSiroami” (shoko iri rinoreva kuti Kutumwa). Saka murume uya akaenda akandoshamba, akadzoka ava kuona.
and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam; which, translated, means Sent. He went, therefore, and washed and came seeing.
8 Vavakidzani vake navaya vakanga vambomuona achipemha vakati, “Ko, uyu haasi iye murume uya aisimbogara achipemha here?”
Then his neighbors, and those who had before seen him, that he was blind, said: Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Vamwe vakati, “Ndiye.” Vamwe vakati, “Kwete, anenge akangofanana naye chete.” Asi iye pachake akaramba achiti, “Ndini iye.”
Some said: It is he. Others: He is like him. But he said: I am he.
10 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Meso ako akasvinudzwa sei?”
Then they said to him: How were your eyes opened?
11 Akapindura akati, “Murume anonzi Jesu akakanya dope akarizora pameso angu. Akandiudza kuti ndiende kuSiroami ndinoshamba. Saka ndakaenda ndikandoshamba, uye ipapo ndakagona kuona.”
He answered and said: A man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. After I had gone and washed, I received my sight.
12 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Aripiko murume wacho?” Iye akati, “Handizivi.”
Then they said to him: Where is he? He said: I know not.
13 Vakauyisa murume uya aimbova bofu kuvaFarisi.
They brought to the Pharisees him that had formerly been blind.
14 Zvino zuva iro rakakanyiwa dope rikazorwa pameso omurume uya naJesu, raiva zuva reSabata.
And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 Naizvozvo vaFarisi vakamubvunzawo kuti akasvinudzwa sei. Murume uya akapindura akati, “Azora dope pameso angu uye ndikandoshamba, zvino ndava kuona.”
Then again the Pharisees also inquired of him how he had received his sight. He said to them: He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
16 Vamwe vaFarisi vakati, “Murume uyu haabvi kuna Mwari, nokuti haachengeti Sabata.” Asi vamwe vakati, “Ko, mutadzi angaita zviratidzo zvakadai seiko?” Nokudaro vakabva vapesana.
Then some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them?
17 Pakupedzisira vakadzokerazve kumurume uya akaberekwa ari bofu vakati, “Ko, iwe unoti kudini naye, sezvo akasvinudza meso ako.” Murume uya akapindura akati, “Muprofita.”
Again they said to the blind man: What say you of him, seeing that he opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet.
18 Kunyange zvakadaro, vaJudha havana kubvuma kuti akanga ari bofu uye kuti akanga asvinudzwa meso ake, kusvikira vadana vabereki vake.
The Jews did not, therefore, believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, till they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
19 Vakati kwavari, “Mwanakomana wenyu here uyu? Ndiye here wamunoti akaberekwa ari bofu? Seiko ava kuona iye zvino?”
and asked them, saying: Is this your son, who, you say, was born blind? How, then, does he now see?
20 Vabereki vake vakati, “Tinoziva kuti ndiye mwanakomana wedu, uye tinoziva kuti akaberekwa ari bofu.
His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Asi kuti ari kuona sei nhasi kana kuti ndiani asvinudza meso ake, isu hatizivi. Mubvunzei. Akura; achazvidavirira oga.”
but how he now sees we know not; or who opened his eyes we know not. He is of age; ask him; he will speak for himself.
22 Vabereki vake vakataura izvi nokuti vaitya vaJudha, nokuti vaJudha vakanga vatotenderana kuti ani naani anenge angopupura kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu aizofanira kubudiswa musinagoge.
His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Ndokusaka vabereki vake vakati, “Akura mubvunzei iye.”
For this reason his parents said: He is of age; ask him.
24 Vakadanazve murume uya akambenge ari bofu kechipiri. Vakati kwaari, “Ipa mbiri kuna Mwari. Isu tinoziva kuti murume uyu mutadzi.”
Then, the second time, they called the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Akapindura akati, “Kana ari mutadzi kana asiri, ini handizvizivi. Ndinoziva chinhu chimwe chete. Ndakanga ndiri bofu asi zvino ndoona!”
He answered and said: If he is a sinner, I know it not. One thing I do know, that having been blind, I now see.
26 Ipapo vakamubvunza vakati, “Akaiteiko kwauri? Akasvinudza meso ako seiko?”
They said to him again: What did he for you? How did he open your eyes?
27 Akapindura akati, “Ndanguri ndakuudzai, asi hamuna kuteerera. Munodireiko kuzvinzwazve? Munoda kuva vadzidzi vakewo here?”
He answered them: I have already told you, and you did not understand; why would you hear it again? Do you also wish to become his disciples?
28 Ipapo vakamutuka vakati, “Iwe hako ndiwe mudzidzi wake munhu uyu! Isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi!
They reviled him, and said: You are the disciple of that man; but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 Tinoziva kuti Mwari akataura naMozisi, asi kana ari munhu uyu, hatimbozivi kwaanobva.”
We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
30 Murume uya akapindura akati, “Zvino, izvi zvinoshamisa chose! Hamuzivi kwaanobva, asi iye akasvinudza meso angu.
The man answered and said to them: Why, there is something wonderful in this, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 Tinoziva kuti Mwari haanzwi vatadzi. Anonzwa munhu anomutya uye anoita kuda kwake.
We know that God hears not sinners; but if any one be a worshiper of God, and do his will, him he hears.
Since the beginning it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one who had been born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Dai murume uyu asina kubva kuna Mwari, haaigona kuita chinhu.”
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 Ipapo vakapindura vakati, “Iwe wakaberekerwa muchivi; unoda seiko kutidzidzisa!” Ipapo vakamubudisa kunze.
They answered and said to him: You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesu akanzwa kuti vakanga vamudzingira kunze, uye akati amuwana, akati kwaari, “Unotenda here kuMwanakomana woMunhu?”
Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And having found him, he said to him: Do you believe on the Son of God?
36 Murume uya akapindura akati, “Iye ndianiko nhai, Ishe? Ndiudzei kuti ndigotenda kwaari.”
He answered and said: Who is he, sir, that I may believe on him?
37 Jesu akati, “Wamuona zvino; uye ndiye ari kutaura newe.”
Jesus said to him: You have seen him; and it is he that talks with you.
38 Ipapo murume uya akati, “Ishe, ndinotenda,” akabva amunamata.
He said: Lord, I believe; and he worshiped him.
39 Jesu akati, “Kutonga ndiko kwandakavinga munyika ino, kuitira kuti mapofu aone uye avo vanoona vave mapofu.”
And Jesus said: For judgment have I come into this world, that those who see not, may see; and that those who see, may become blind.
40 Vamwe vaFarisi vaiva naye vakamunzwa achitaura izvi vakati, “Watii? Nesuwo tiri mapofu here?”
And some of the Pharisees who were with him, heard these things, and said to him: Are we also blind?
41 Jesu akati, “Dai maiva mapofu, mungadai musina mhosva yechivi; asi zvino zvamunoti munoona, mhosva yenyu inoramba iripo.”
Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
