Yohana 9
1 Yesu alipokuwa akipita, akamwona mtu aliyekuwa kipofu tangu kuzaliwa.
AND as he was passing, he saw a man blind from the womb of his mother.
2 Wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza, “Rabi, ni nani aliyetenda dhambi, ni huyu mtu au wazazi wake hata azaliwe kipofu?”
And his disciples asked him, saying, Raban, who sinned, this or his parents, that blind he should have been born?
3 Yesu akawajibu, “Huyu mtu wala wazazi wake hawakutenda dhambi. Alizaliwa kipofu ili kazi za Mungu zidhihirishwe katika maisha yake.
Jeshu saith to them, Neither he sinned, nor his parents; but that there might be seen in him the works of Aloha.
4 Yanipasa kuzifanya kazi zake yeye aliyenituma wakati bado ni mchana, kwa kuwa usiku waja ambapo hakuna mtu awezaye kufanya kazi.
Me it behoveth to do the works of Him who sent me, while it is to-day: the night cometh when man cannot work.
5 Wakati niko ulimwenguni, mimi ni nuru ya ulimwengu.”
So long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.
6 Baada ya kusema haya, akatema mate ardhini, akatengeneza tope kwa mate na kumpaka yule mtu kipofu machoni.
And when he had said these things, he spat upon the ground, and formed clay from his spittle, and rubbed upon the eyes of the blind,
7 Kisha akamwambia, “Nenda ukanawe katika bwawa la Siloamu.” (Siloamu maana yake ni aliyetumwa.) Ndipo yule kipofu akaenda, akanawa, naye akarudi akiwa anaona.
and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Shilucha. And he went, washed, and came seeing.
8 Majirani zake na wale wote waliokuwa wamemwona hapo awali akiombaomba wakaanza kuuliza, “Je, huyu si yule aliyekuwa akiketi akiombaomba?”
But his neighbours, and they who had seen (him) aforetime as he begged, said, Is not this he who sat and begged?
9 Wengine wakasema, “Ndiye.” Wengine wakasema, “Siye, bali wamefanana.” Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye.”
Some said, It is he; and some said, It is not, but one like him; but he said, I am he.
10 Wakamuuliza, “Basi macho yako yalifumbuliwaje?”
They say to him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 Yeye akawajibu, “Yule mtu aitwaye Yesu alitengeneza tope, akanipaka machoni mwangu, naye akaniambia nenda ukanawe katika Bwawa la Siloamu, ndipo nikanawa nami nikapata kuona!”
He answered and said to them, The man whose name is Jeshu made clay, and rubbed upon mine eyes, and said to me, Go, wash in the waters of Shilucha; and I went, washed, and received sight.
12 Wale wakamuuliza, “Yeye huyo mtu yuko wapi?” Akawajibu, “Sijui.”
They say to him, Where is he? He saith to them, I know not.
13 Wakamleta kwa Mafarisayo yule mtu aliyekuwa kipofu hapo awali.
They brought him who from the beginning was blind to the Pharishee.
14 Basi siku hiyo Yesu alipotengeneza tope na kuyafungua macho ya huyo mtu ilikuwa Sabato.
Now it was shabath when Jeshu made the clay and opened his eyes:
15 Mafarisayo nao wakaanza kumuuliza alivyopata kuponywa. Naye akawaambia, “Alinipaka tope kwenye macho yangu, nikanawa na sasa ninaona.”
and again the Pharishee questioned him, How didst thou receive sight? He said to them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and received sight.
16 Baadhi ya Mafarisayo wakasema, “Huyu mtu hatoki kwa Mungu, kwa sababu hashiki Sabato.” Lakini wengine wakasema, “Awezaje mtu mwenye dhambi kufanya miujiza kama hii?” Wakagawanyika.
And some of the Pharishee said, This man is not from Aloha; for the shabath he keepeth not. But others said, How can a man, a sinner, perform these signs? And there was a division among them.
17 Hivyo wakamwambia tena yule mtu aliyekuwa kipofu, “Wewe ndiwe uliyefumbuliwa macho, wasemaje kuhusu mtu huyo?” Maana macho yako ndiyo yaliyofumbuliwa. Yeye akawajibu, “Yeye ni nabii.”
They say again to the blind, What sayest thou concerning him, because he hath opened thine eyes? He saith to them, I say that he is the Prophet.
18 Wale Wayahudi hawakuamini ya kuwa mtu huyo alikuwa kipofu, akapata kuona, mpaka walipowaita wazazi wake.
But believed not concerning him the Jihudoyee that blind he had been and made-to-see, until they called the parents of him who had been made to see,
19 Wakawauliza, “Je, huyu ni mtoto wenu, ambaye mnasema alizaliwa kipofu? Imekuwaje basi sasa anaona?”
and asked them, If this is your son who, you say, was born blind, how now doth he see?
20 Wazazi wake wakajibu, “Tunajua ya kuwa huyu ni mtoto wetu na ya kuwa alizaliwa kipofu.
His parents answered and said, We know that this (is) our son, and that blind he was born.
21 Lakini sisi hatujui ni kwa jinsi gani kwamba sasa anaona, wala hatujui ni nani aliyemfungua macho yake. Muulizeni, yeye ni mtu mzima na anaweza kujieleza mwenyewe.”
But how he now seeth, or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. He also hath entered on his years, ask him: he for himself shall speak.
22 Wazazi wake walisema hivi kwa sababu waliwaogopa Wayahudi kwani walikuwa wamekubaliana kuwa mtu yeyote atakayemkiri Yesu kuwa ndiye Kristo atafukuzwa kutoka sinagogi.
These words said his parents, because they feared the Jihudoyee; for the Jihudoyee had determined that if any man should confess him that he was the Meshicha, they would cast him out of the synagogue:
23 Kwa hiyo wazazi wake wakasema, “Yeye ni mtu mzima. Muulizeni.”
on this account said his parents, He hath entered on his years, ask him.
24 Hivyo kwa mara ya pili wakamwita yule aliyekuwa kipofu, nao wakamwambia, “Mpe Mungu utukufu! Sisi tunafahamu kuwa mtu huyu aliyekuponya ni mwenye dhambi.”
And they called the second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Glorify Aloha: for we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Akawajibu, “Mimi sijui kama yeye ni mwenye dhambi. Lakini jambo moja ninalojua, nilikuwa kipofu na sasa ninaona.”
He answered and said to them, Whether he be a sinner, I know not; but one (thing) I know, that I have been blind, and now, behold, I see.
26 Wakamuuliza, “Alikufanyia nini? Aliyafumbuaje macho yako?”
They say to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he to thee thine eyes?
27 Akawajibu, “Tayari nimekwisha kuwaambia, nanyi hamtaki kunisikiliza. Mbona mnataka kusikia tena? Je, ninyi nanyi mnataka kuwa wanafunzi wake?”
He saith to them, I told you, and you heard not: what will you hear? Are you also willing disciples to him to become?
28 Ndipo wakamtukana na kusema, “Wewe ndiwe mwanafunzi wake, Sisi ni wanafunzi wa Mose.
But they reviled him, and said to him, Thou art the disciple of him; but we are the disciples of Musha.
29 Tunajua kwamba Mungu alisema na Mose, lakini kwa habari ya mtu huyu hatujui atokako.”
And we know that with Musha Aloha spake; but for this, we know not whence he is.
30 Yule mtu akawajibu, “Hili ni jambo la ajabu! Hamjui anakotoka, naye amenifungua macho yangu!
Answered the man and said to them, At this then we must wonder, that you know not from whence he is, and (yet) mine eyes he hath opened!
31 Tunajua ya kuwa Mungu hawasikilizi wenye dhambi, lakini huwasikiliza wote wanaomcha na kumtii.
But we know that Aloha the voice of sinners heareth not; but if any man fear him and do his will, him he heareth.
From of old it hath not been heard that a man hath opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Kama huyu mtu hakutoka kwa Mungu, asingeweza kufanya lolote.”
If this were not from Aloha, he could not this have done.
34 Wao wakamjibu, “Wewe ulizaliwa katika dhambi kabisa, nawe unajaribu kutufundisha?” Wakamfukuza atoke nje.
They answered and say to him, Thou altogether wast born in sins, and art thou teaching us? And they cast him without.
35 Yesu aliposikia kuwa wamemfukuzia nje yule mtu aliyemfumbua macho, alimkuta akamuuliza, “Je, unamwamini Mwana wa Adamu?”
Jeshu heard that they had cast him without, and he found him, and said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of Aloha?
36 Yule mtu akamjibu, “Yeye ni nani, Bwana? Niambie ili nipate kumwamini.”
He who had been cured answered and said, Who (is he), my Lord, that I may believe in him?
37 Yesu akamjibu, “Umekwisha kumwona, naye anayezungumza nawe, ndiye.”
Jeshu said to him, Thou hast SEEN him, and He who talketh with thee is He.
38 Yule mtu akasema, “Bwana, naamini.” Naye akamwabudu.
He said, I believe, my Lord! And, falling, he adored him.
39 Yesu akasema, “Nimekuja ulimwenguni humu kwa ajili ya kuhukumu, ili wale walio vipofu wapate kuona, nao wale wanaoona, wawe vipofu.”
Jeshu said to them, For the judgment of this world am I come, that they who see not may see, and they who see may be made blind.
40 Baadhi ya Mafarisayo waliokuwa karibu naye wakamsikia na kumwambia, “Je, kweli sisi ni vipofu?”
And some of the Pharishee who were with him heard these (words), and they said to him, Are we blind also?
41 Yesu akawajibu, “Kama mngekuwa vipofu kweli, msingekuwa na hatia ya dhambi, lakini kwa kuwa mnasema, ‘Tunaona,’ basi mna hatia.
Jeshu saith to them, If blind you were, you would have no sin; but now you say, We see: therefore your sin is confirmed.
