Johani 9
1 Akati achifamba, akaona murume akanga aberekwa ari bofu.
And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man who was 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, Master, 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 hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should 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 cometh when no man can work.
5 Ndichiri munyika, ndiri chiedza chenyika.”
As 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.
When he had thus spoken, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
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 is by interpretation, 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?”
The neighbors therefore, and they who before had 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, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but] he said, I am [he].
10 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Meso ako akasvinudzwa sei?”
Therefore 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, A man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Aripiko murume wacho?” Iye akati, “Handizivi.”
Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 Vakauyisa murume uya aimbova bofu kuvaFarisi.
They brought to the Pharisees him that before was 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 asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do 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.
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? 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 to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy 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.
But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind, and received his sight, until 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 they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth 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 by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath 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.
These [words] his parents spoke, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Ndokusaka vabereki vake vakati, “Akura mubvunzei iye.”
Therefore said his parents, 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 again they called the man that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: 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, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Ipapo vakamubvunza vakati, “Akaiteiko kwauri? Akasvinudza meso ako seiko?”
Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thy eyes?
27 Akapindura akati, “Ndanguri ndakuudzai, asi hamuna kuteerera. Munodireiko kuzvinzwazve? Munoda kuva vadzidzi vakewo here?”
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: Why would ye hear [it] again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Ipapo vakamutuka vakati, “Iwe hako ndiwe mudzidzi wake munhu uyu! Isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi!
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; 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: [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, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from 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 sinners: but if any man is a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Dai murume uyu asina kubva kuna Mwari, haaigona kuita chinhu.”
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
34 Ipapo vakapindura vakati, “Iwe wakaberekerwa muchivi; unoda seiko kutidzidzisa!” Ipapo vakamubudisa kunze.
They answered and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou 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 when he had found him, he said to him, Dost thou 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, Lord, that I may believe on him?
37 Jesu akati, “Wamuona zvino; uye ndiye ari kutaura newe.”
And Jesus said to him, thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 Ipapo murume uya akati, “Ishe, ndinotenda,” akabva amunamata.
And 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 I am come into this world, that they who see not, may see; and that they who see, may be made 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 words, and said to him, Are we blind also?
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 have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
