Johani 9
1 Wakati achipfuura, akaona munhu bofu kubva pakuberekwa.
And while passing, he saw a man blind from his mother's womb.
2 Vadzidzi vake ndokumubvunza, vachiti: Rabhi, ndiani wakatadza, uyu kana vabereki vake, kuti aberekwe 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: Uyu haana kutadza, kana vabereki vake; asi kuti mabasa aMwari aoneswe maari.
Jesus said to them: Neither did he sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be seen 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, in which no one can work.
5 Kana ndichiri panyika, ndiri chiedza chenyika.
So 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,
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 unoshamba mudziva reSiroami (zvinoshandurwa kuti: Wakatumwa). Naizvozvo wakaenda akashamba, akadzoka achiona.
and said to him: Go, wash in the baptistery of Siloam. And he went, and washed, and came away seeing.
8 Naizvozvo vavakidzani nevaimuona pakutanga kuti wakange ari bofu, vakati: Haasi iye uyu waigara 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: Uyu ndiye; asi vamwe vakati: Wakaita saiye. Iye akati: Ndini.
Some said, It is he: and others said, No; but he is very like him. But he said: I am he.
10 Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Meso ako akazarurwa sei?
And they said to him: How were thy 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 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 Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Iye aripi? Akati: Handizivi.
They said to him: Where is he? He said to them: I know not.
13 Vakamuisa kuVaFarisi, iye waimbova bofu.
And they brought him that had been blind, before the Pharisees.
14 Zvino raiva sabata apo Jesu akaita dope, akasvinudza meso ake.
Now it was on the sabbath that Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.
15 Naizvozvo zvekare VaFarisi vakamubvunzawo, kuti wakaonazve sei. Akati kwavari: Waisa dope pameso angu ndikashamba, 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 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.
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 Vakatizve kubofu: Iwe unoti kudini pamusoro pake, sezvo asvinudza meso ako? Akati: Muporofita.
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 Zvino VaJudha havana kutenda pamusoro pake, kuti wakange ari bofu, akaonazve, kusvikira vadana vabereki vewakaonazve,
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 zvino vakavabvunza, vachiti: Uyu mwanakomana wenyu imwi wamunoti wakaberekwa ari bofu here? Naizvozvo ikozvino woona sei?
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 vakavapindura vakati: Tinoziva kuti uyu mwanakomana wedu, uye kuti wakaberekwa ari bofu;
And his parents answered 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 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 vakareva izvi, nokuti vaitya VaJudha; nokuti VaJudha vakange vatotenderana kuti kana ani nani anobvuma kuti ndiye Kristu, abudiswe 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 Naizvozvo vabereki vake vakati: Wayaruka, mubvunzei.
For this reason his parents said, He hath come to his years, ask him.
24 Naizvozvo vakadana rwechipiri uyo munhu wakange ari bofu, vakati kwaari: Ipa Mwari rumbidzo; isu tinoziva kuti munhu 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 Naizvozvo iye akapindura achiti: Kana ari mutadzi handizivi; chinhu chimwe chandinoziva, kuti ndaiva bofu, ikozvino 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 Zvino vakati kwaarizve: Wakaitei kwauri? Wakasvinudza meso ako sei?
They said to him again: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?
27 Akavapindura, akati: Ndadokuudzai, asi hamuna kunzwa, munodirei kunzwa zvekare? Nemwi munoda kuva vadzidzi vake kanhi?
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 Naizvozvo vakamutuka, vakati: Ndiwe mudzidzi wake; asi isu tiri vadzidzi vaMozisi.
But they reproached him, and said to him: Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 Isu tinoziva kuti Mwari wakataura kuna Mozisi; asi uyu hatizivi kwaanobva.
And we know that God conversed with Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
30 Munhu akapindura akati kwavari: Nokuti pachinhu ichi pane chinoshamisa, kuti imwi hamuzivi kwaanobva, asi wasvinudza 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 Zvino tinoziva kuti Mwari haanzwi vatadzi; asi kana munhu ari mushumiri waMwari, achiita chido chake, uyu anomunzwa.
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 uyu anga asingabvi kuna Mwari, haasaigona kuita chinhu.
If this man were not of God, he could not do this thing.
34 Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Iwe zvachese wakaberekerwa muzvivi, zvino iwe wotidzidzisa here? Vakamudzingira 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 vamudzingira kunze; akati amuwana, akati kwaari: Iwe unotenda kuMwanakomana waMwari here?
And Jesus heard that they had expelled him; and he found him, and said to him: Believest thou on the Son of God?
36 Iye akapindura akati: Ndiani, Ishe, kuti nditende kwaari?
And he that was healed, answered and said: My Lord, who is he, that I may believe on him?
37 Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Newe wamuona, uye anotaura newe, ndiye.
Jesus said to him: Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 Zvino akati: Ishe ndinotenda; akamunamata.
And he said: My Lord, I believe: and he fell down, and worshipped him.
39 Jesu ndokuti: Kutonga ndiko ini kwandakauira panyika ino, kuti vasingaoni vaone; nevanoona 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 Uye avo veVaFarisi vaiva naye vakanzwa zvinhu izvi, vakati kwaari: Nesu 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 kwavari: Dai maiva mapofu, mungadai musina chivi. Asi ikozvino munoti: Tinoona; naizvozvo chivi chenyu chinogara.
Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would be without sin; but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is established.
