Yohane 9
1 Lino Yesu mpwalikwenda walabona muntu walasemwa kaliwashipilwa.
And passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
2 Beshikwiya bakendi balamwipusheti, “mwiyi, niyani walalubisha kwambeti muntuyu asemwe kaliwashipilwa? Sena nimwine nambi, nibashali bakendi?”
and His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
3 Yesu walambeti, “Nteko kwambeti walasemwa kaliwashipilwa cebo ca bwipishi bwakendi, nambi bwipishi bwabashali bakendi sobwe. Nsombi kwambeti Lesa apewe bulemu kupitila mumuntuyu
Jesus answered, “Neither this one sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God may be revealed in him;
4 Nkakucili munshi twela kusebensa ncito njebalantumina Bata. Mashiku alesanga muntu wela kusebensa
it is necessary for Me to be working the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night comes when no one is able to work:
5 Kandicili panshi pano, njame ndapanga mumuni bantu bonse.”
when I am in the world, I AM [the] light of the world.”
6 Mpwalambeco, Yesu walasankila mata panshi, walakandila tumankatya nekumunanika mumenso muntu washipilwa
Saying these things, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,
7 Lino walamwambileti, “Koya usambe pakalishiba kaSiloyamu. Lina lyakwambeti Siloyamu lilapandululungeti mutumwa. Neco muntuyo walaya akusamba, walatatika kulanga mpwalikubwelela.”
“Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,” which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came seeing;
8 Popelapo baneshi nnebantu balikumubona nkasenga senga balambeti, “Sena uyu nte usa walikukute cinga cakusenga senga kaliwekala panshi?”
the neighbors, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, “Is this not he who is sitting and begging?”
9 Bambi balambeti, “Ee endiye.” Nabambi balikwambeti, “Nteye, wakoshanakowa nendi.” Nsombi mwine walambeti, “Njame.”
Others said, “This is he”; and others, “He is like to him”; he himself said, “I am [he].”
10 Lino bantu basa balamwipusheti, “Nomba nicani capesheti utatike kubona?”
They said, therefore, to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 Nendi walambeti, “Muntu usa ngobakute kukuweti Yesu, walakandila bulongo nekunanika mumenso mwakame nekung'ambileti, ‘Koya, usambe mukalishiba kaSiloamu. Mpondalasamba ndalatatika kubona.’”
He answered and said, “A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight”;
12 Neco basa bantu balamwipusheti, “Ingalino ulikupeyo?” Muntu usa walambeti, “Nkandikwishi nkwabele.”
they said, therefore, to him, “Where is that One?” He says, “I have not known.”
13 Neco balamumanta usa muntu walikuba washipilwa nekuya nendi kuli bamakulene baBafalisi,
They bring him who once [was] blind to the Pharisees,
14 pakwinga busuba mbwalakandila bulongo mbwalashilikisha muntu washipilwa bwalikuba bwaSabata
and it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Neco bamakulene ba Bafalisi balamwipusheti, “Obe watatika coni kubona?” Nendi walabambileti, “walananika bulongo mumenso, ndalaya akusamba, weco lino ndabononga.”
Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed—and I see.”
16 Ba falisi nabambi balambeti, “Muntuyu nkalatumwa neLesa, pakwinga nkalakonkelenga mulawo wa Sabata.” Nsombi nabambi balambeti, “Muntu shikwinsa byaipa ngawinsa byeshikukankamanisha byamushobo uyu?” Neco palaba kupansana umo ne munendi.
Certain of the Pharisees therefore said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath”; others said, “How is a man—a sinful one—able to do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
17 Kayi muntusa walikuba washipilwa Bafalisi balamwipusheti, “Nomba obe ulambangaponga aconi pali uyo lakushiliki?” Neye walambeti, “Ni Mushinshimi.”
They said to the blind man again, “You—what do you say of Him—that He opened your eyes?”
18 Nomba bamakulene ba Bayuda nkabalashometi muntuyo nkalikubona nomba lino labononga, mpaka balakuwa bamashali bakendi.
And he said, “He is a prophet.” The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him who received sight,
19 Mpobalesa balabepusheti, “Amwe uyu nimwanenu? sena nicakubinga walasemwa nkatalanga? Nomba kulabeconi kwambeti lino lakonshonga kubona?”
and they asked them, saying, “Is [this] your son, of whom you say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 Bamashali bakendi balambeti, “Ncotwinshi afwe nikwambeti uyu nimwanetu, kayi walasemwa nkatalanga.
His parents answered them and said, “We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Lino nkatucinshi cilenshiki kwambeti atatike kubona, kayi nkatucinshi mobilenshikili. Kayi nkatumwinshi naniyani lamushiliki. Kamumwipusha mwine nimukulene.”
and how he now sees, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; he is of age, ask him; he himself will speak concerning himself.”
22 Bashali balambeco cebo cakutina bamakulene baBayuda, abo balapangana kwambeti, muntu uliyense eshyakambeti Yesu eMupulushi Walaiwa, nibakamutandanye munga'nda yakupaililamo.
His parents said these things, because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed together, that if anyone may confess Him—Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;
23 Weco bashali bakendi balambeti, “nimukulene, kamumwipushani.”
because of this his parents said, “He is of age, ask him.”
24 Popelapo bamakulene baBayuda balamukuwa katubilli usa muntu walikuba washipilwa, nekumwambileti, “Lumbila kuli Lesa, kayi wambe cakubinga. Afwe tucinshi kwambeti muntu usa nishikwinsa byaipa.”
They called, therefore, the man who was blind a second time, and they said to him, “Give glory to God, we have known that this Man is a sinner”;
25 Nendi walambeti, “nkandicinshi nanishikwinsa byaipa, ncenjinshi, nikwambeti nkandalikubona, nsombi lino ndabononga.”
he answered, therefore, and said, “If He is a sinner—I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.”
26 Nabo balamwipusheti, “nomba walakwinsaconi pakukushilika?”
And they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
27 Nendi walabakumbuleti, “Ndamwambilikendi, nomba muliya kunyumfwa. Nomba nicani mulayandanga kubinyumfwa kayi? Mpani nenjamwe mulayandanga kuba beshikwiya bakendi?”
He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to hear [it] again? Do you also wish to become His disciples?”
28 Popelapo balatatika kumushingana, nekumwambileti, “Njobe shikwiya wakendi. Afwe njafwe beshikwiya baMose.
They reviled him, therefore, and said, “You are His disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;
29 Twashometi Lesa walambila Mose, nomba uyu nkatukwinshi nkwalafuma.”
we have known that God has spoken to Moses, but this One—we have not known where He is from.”
30 Muntuyo walakumbuleti, “Ndakankamananga kunyumfweti nkamukwinshi nkwalafuma, nsombi elamboneshe.
The man answered and said to them, “Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that you have not known where He is from, and He opened my eyes!
31 Tucinshi kwambeti Lesa nkakute kunyumfwila bantu beshikwinsa byaipa. Lesa, ukute kunyumfwila bantu bakute kumunyumfwila nekwinsa mbyalayandanga.
And we have known that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone may be a worshiper of God, and may do His will, He hears him;
32 Kufuma kumatatikilo acishi kuliyawa muntu walanyumfwapo kwambeti muntu lashiliki muntu walasemwa kaliwashipilwa. (aiōn g165)
from the age it was not heard that anyone opened eyes of one who has been born blind; (aiōn g165)
33 Muntuyu nalabula kufuma kuli Lesa, naliyawa kucikonshya kwinsa ici cintu.”
if this One were not from God, He were not able to do anything.”
34 Lino nabo balambeti, “Obe walasemwa mubwipishi. Ulayandanga kutwiyisha?” Mpobalambeco balamutandanya mung'anda yakupaililamo.
They answered and said to him, “In sins you were born altogether, and you teach us?” And they cast him forth outside.
35 Yesu mpwalanyumfweti bamakulene baBayuda balamutandanya munga'nda yakupaililamo usa walikuba washipilwa mpwalamucana walamwipusheti, “Wamushoma Mwana Muntu?”
Jesus heard that they cast him forth outside, and having found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 Nendi walambeti, “Mwami, ng'ambileni niyani kwambeti ndimushome!”
He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
37 Yesu walamwambileti, “Ulamubono kendi, endiye lambanga nenjobe.”
And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He who is speaking with you is He”;
38 Neye walamusuntamina nekwambeti, “Mwami, ndashomo.”
and he said, “I believe, Lord,” and worshiped Him.
39 Lino Yesu walambeti, “Lombolosho ndondaleshila nikwambeti batabono babone, balabononga bashipilwe.”
And Jesus said, “I came to this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.”
40 Bafalisi nabambi balikuba pepi, mpobalanyumfweco balamwipusheti, “Sena nenjafwe twashipilwa?”
And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and they said to Him, “Are we also blind?”
41 Yesu walambeti, “Nemwanga mwashipilwa, nemuliya mulandu. Nsombi pakwinga mulalyambangeti, mulabononga, ekwambeti mucikute mulandu.”
Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you were not having had sin, but now you say—We see, therefore your sin remains.”
