Johani 9
1 Akati achifamba, akaona murume akanga aberekwa ari bofu.
And while passing, he saw a man blind from his mother's womb.
2 Vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza vakati, “Rabhi, ndianiko akatadza, murume uyu kana kuti vabereki vake, zvaakaberekwa ari bofu?”
And his disciples asked him, and said: Our 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 said to them: Neither did he sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be seen 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 cometh, in which no one can work.
5 Ndichiri munyika, ndiri chiedza chenyika.”
So long as 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.
And having spoken thus, he spit on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and spread it 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 baptistery of Siloam. And he went, and washed, and came away seeing.
8 Vavakidzani vake navaya vakanga vambomuona achipemha vakati, “Ko, uyu haasi iye murume uya aisimbogara achipemha here?”
And his neighbors, and they by whom he had before been seen begging, said: Is not this he, who 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: and others said, No; but he is very like him. But he said: I am he.
10 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Meso ako akasvinudzwa sei?”
And they said to him: How were thy 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 to them: A man whose name is Jesus, made mud and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, Go, wash in the waters of Siloam. And I went, and washed, and my sight was restored.
12 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Aripiko murume wacho?” Iye akati, “Handizivi.”
They said to him: Where is he? He said to them: I know not.
13 Vakauyisa murume uya aimbova bofu kuvaFarisi.
And they brought him that had been blind, before the Pharisees.
14 Zvino zuva iro rakakanyiwa dope rikazorwa pameso omurume uya naJesu, raiva zuva reSabata.
Now it was on the sabbath that Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.
15 Naizvozvo vaFarisi vakamubvunzawo kuti akasvinudzwa sei. Murume uya akapindura akati, “Azora dope pameso angu uye ndikandoshamba, zvino ndava kuona.”
And again the Pharisees asked him: How was thy sight restored? And he said to them: He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and my sight was restored.
16 Vamwe vaFarisi vakati, “Murume uyu haabvi kuna Mwari, nokuti haachengeti Sabata.” Asi vamwe vakati, “Ko, mutadzi angaita zviratidzo zvakadai seiko?” Nokudaro vakabva vapesana.
And some of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, for he doth not observe the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner, work these 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.”
They say again to the blind man: What sayest thou of him, seeing he hath opened thy eyes? He said to them: I say, that he is a prophet.
18 Kunyange zvakadaro, vaJudha havana kubvuma kuti akanga ari bofu uye kuti akanga asvinudzwa meso ake, kusvikira vadana vabereki vake.
And the Jews would not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and recovered sight, until they called the parents of him who recovered sight.
19 Vakati kwavari, “Mwanakomana wenyu here uyu? Ndiye here wamunoti akaberekwa ari bofu? Seiko ava kuona iye zvino?”
And they asked them: Is this your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? And how doth he now see?
20 Vabereki vake vakati, “Tinoziva kuti ndiye mwanakomana wedu, uye tinoziva kuti akaberekwa ari bofu.
And his parents answered 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 seeth, or who opened his eyes, we know not. He hath come to his years, 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.
These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had decided, that if any one should confess him to be Messiah, they would expel him from the synagogue.
23 Ndokusaka vabereki vake vakati, “Akura mubvunzei iye.”
For this reason his parents said, He hath come to his years, ask him.
24 Vakadanazve murume uya akambenge ari bofu kechipiri. Vakati kwaari, “Ipa mbiri kuna Mwari. Isu tinoziva kuti murume uyu mutadzi.”
And they called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; for 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 replied, and said to them: Whether he is a sinner, I know not; but, one thing I know, that I was blind, and lo, now I see.
26 Ipapo vakamubvunza vakati, “Akaiteiko kwauri? Akasvinudza meso ako seiko?”
They said to him again: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?
27 Akapindura akati, “Ndanguri ndakuudzai, asi hamuna kuteerera. Munodireiko kuzvinzwazve? Munoda kuva vadzidzi vakewo here?”
He said to them: I have told you, and ye did not hear. Why would ye hear again? Do ye also wish to become his disciples?
28 Ipapo vakamutuka vakati, “Iwe hako ndiwe mudzidzi wake munhu uyu! Isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi!
But they reproached him, and said to him: Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 Tinoziva kuti Mwari akataura naMozisi, asi kana ari munhu uyu, hatimbozivi kwaanobva.”
And we know that God conversed with 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 replied and said to them: In this therefore is something to be admired, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened my eyes.
31 Tinoziva kuti Mwari haanzwi vatadzi. Anonzwa munhu anomutya uye anoita kuda kwake.
Now we know, that God heareth not the voice of sinners; but him that feareth him, and doeth his pleasure, him he heareth.
Never hath it been heard, that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Dai murume uyu asina kubva kuna Mwari, haaigona kuita chinhu.”
If this man were not of God, he could not do this thing.
34 Ipapo vakapindura vakati, “Iwe wakaberekerwa muchivi; unoda seiko kutidzidzisa!” Ipapo vakamubudisa kunze.
They replied, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they expelled him.
35 Jesu akanzwa kuti vakanga vamudzingira kunze, uye akati amuwana, akati kwaari, “Unotenda here kuMwanakomana woMunhu?”
And Jesus heard that they had expelled him; and he found him, and said to him: Believest thou on the Son of God?
36 Murume uya akapindura akati, “Iye ndianiko nhai, Ishe? Ndiudzei kuti ndigotenda kwaari.”
And he that was healed, answered and said: My Lord, who is he, that I may believe on him?
37 Jesu akati, “Wamuona zvino; uye ndiye ari kutaura newe.”
Jesus said to him: Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 Ipapo murume uya akati, “Ishe, ndinotenda,” akabva amunamata.
And he said: My Lord, I believe: and he fell down, and worshipped him.
39 Jesu akati, “Kutonga ndiko kwandakavinga munyika ino, kuitira kuti mapofu aone uye avo vanoona vave mapofu.”
And Jesus said: For the judgment of this world, have I come; that they who see not, might see; and that they who see, might become blind.
40 Vamwe vaFarisi vaiva naye vakamunzwa achitaura izvi vakati, “Watii? Nesuwo tiri mapofu here?”
And some of those Pharisees who were with him, heard these things; and they said to him: How? 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 ye were blind, ye would be without sin; but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is established.
