Johani 9
1 Wakati achipfuura, akaona munhu bofu kubva pakuberekwa.
And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth.
2 Vadzidzi vake ndokumubvunza, vachiti: Rabhi, ndiani wakatadza, uyu kana vabereki vake, kuti aberekwe ari bofu?
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesu akapindura akati: Uyu haana kutadza, kana vabereki vake; asi kuti mabasa aMwari aoneswe maari.
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 Ndinofanira kushanda mabasa ewakandituma achiri masikati; usiku hunouya, apo pasina munhu angagona kushanda.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 Kana ndichiri panyika, ndiri chiedza chenyika.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Wakati areva izvi, akapfira pasi, akaita dope nemate, akazodza dope pameso ebofu,
When he had thus spoken, he spat 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 unoshamba mudziva reSiroami (zvinoshandurwa kuti: Wakatumwa). Naizvozvo wakaenda akashamba, akadzoka achiona.
And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 Naizvozvo vavakidzani nevaimuona pakutanga kuti wakange ari bofu, vakati: Haasi iye uyu waigara achipemha here?
The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Vamwe vakati: Uyu ndiye; asi vamwe vakati: Wakaita saiye. Iye akati: Ndini.
Some said, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but] he said, I am [he].
10 Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Meso ako akazarurwa sei?
Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 Akapindura izvo akati: Munhu anonzi Jesu wakaita dope, akazodza meso angu, akati kwandiri: Enda kudziva reSiroami unoshamba. Zvino ndikaenda ndikashamba, ndikaonazve.
He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Iye aripi? Akati: Handizivi.
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 Vakamuisa kuVaFarisi, iye waimbova bofu.
They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14 Zvino raiva sabata apo Jesu akaita dope, akasvinudza meso ake.
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Naizvozvo zvekare VaFarisi vakamubvunzawo, kuti wakaonazve sei. Akati kwavari: Waisa dope pameso angu ndikashamba, ndava kuona.
Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Naizvozvo vamwe veVaFarisi vakati: Munhu uyu haabvi kuna Mwari, nokuti haachengeti sabata. Vamwe vakati: Munhu ari mutadzi angaita sei zviratidzo zvakadai? Kukava nekupesana pakati pavo.
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 Vakatizve kubofu: Iwe unoti kudini pamusoro pake, sezvo asvinudza meso ako? Akati: Muporofita.
They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 Zvino VaJudha havana kutenda pamusoro pake, kuti wakange ari bofu, akaonazve, kusvikira vadana vabereki vewakaonazve,
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 zvino vakavabvunza, vachiti: Uyu mwanakomana wenyu imwi wamunoti wakaberekwa ari bofu here? Naizvozvo ikozvino woona sei?
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 Vabereki vake vakavapindura vakati: Tinoziva kuti uyu mwanakomana wedu, uye kuti wakaberekwa ari bofu;
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 asi kuti ikozvino woona sei, hatizivi; kana ndiani wasvinudza meso ake, isu hatizivi; iye wayaruka, mubvunzei, iye pachake achazvitaurira.
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 shall speak for himself.
22 Vabereki vake vakareva izvi, nokuti vaitya VaJudha; nokuti VaJudha vakange vatotenderana kuti kana ani nani anobvuma kuti ndiye Kristu, abudiswe musinagoge.
These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Naizvozvo vabereki vake vakati: Wayaruka, mubvunzei.
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 Naizvozvo vakadana rwechipiri uyo munhu wakange ari bofu, vakati kwaari: Ipa Mwari rumbidzo; isu tinoziva kuti munhu uyu mutadzi.
Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Naizvozvo iye akapindura achiti: Kana ari mutadzi handizivi; chinhu chimwe chandinoziva, kuti ndaiva bofu, ikozvino ndoona.
He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner [or no], I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Zvino vakati kwaarizve: Wakaitei kwauri? Wakasvinudza meso ako sei?
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 Akavapindura, akati: Ndadokuudzai, asi hamuna kunzwa, munodirei kunzwa zvekare? Nemwi munoda kuva vadzidzi vake kanhi?
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear [it] again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Naizvozvo vakamutuka, vakati: Ndiwe mudzidzi wake; asi isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi.
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 Isu tinoziva kuti Mwari wakataura kuna Mozisi; asi uyu hatizivi kwaanobva.
We know that God spake unto Moses: [as for] this [fellow], we know not from whence he is.
30 Munhu akapindura akati kwavari: Nokuti pachinhu ichi pane chinoshamisa, kuti imwi hamuzivi kwaanobva, asi wasvinudza meso angu.
The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet] he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Zvino tinoziva kuti Mwari haanzwi vatadzi; asi kana munhu ari mushumiri waMwari, achiita chido chake, uyu anomunzwa.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Dai uyu anga asingabvi kuna Mwari, haasaigona kuita chinhu.
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Iwe zvachese wakaberekerwa muzvivi, zvino iwe wotidzidzisa here? Vakamudzingira kunze.
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesu akanzwa kuti vamudzingira kunze; akati amuwana, akati kwaari: Iwe unotenda kuMwanakomana waMwari here?
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 Iye akapindura akati: Ndiani, Ishe, kuti nditende kwaari?
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Newe wamuona, uye anotaura newe, ndiye.
And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 Zvino akati: Ishe ndinotenda; akamunamata.
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 Jesu ndokuti: Kutonga ndiko ini kwandakauira panyika ino, kuti vasingaoni vaone; nevanoona vave mapofu.
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 Uye avo veVaFarisi vaiva naye vakanzwa zvinhu izvi, vakati kwaari: Nesu tiri mapofu here?
And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesu akati kwavari: Dai maiva mapofu, mungadai musina chivi. Asi ikozvino munoti: Tinoona; naizvozvo chivi chenyu chinogara.
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
